There are lawnmowers and there are motor mowers and there are ride-on mowers - and then there is the Rossco Scammell mower.
It is different with a capital D and powerful with a capital P.
"There are a few people out there who think I'm crazy," the Waiohiki creator of the fastest mower in the country said.
Cutting to the chase, the average ride-on mower will happily motor along at 10 or 15km/h, but then they are not propelled by a Suzuki GSX750R motorcycle engine which pumps out about 120 horsepower.
"It'll probably do about 120km/h - possibly more," Mr Scammell said, adding that on a closed road he'd had it up to about 70km/h and it was just starting to pick up.
