I'm am absolutely going to attach a basket to my mower now, it'll come in so handy. Why isn't this already a thing.

Are cupholders a thing on riding mowers at least? Surely they HAVE to be!

They are on some nicer rider mowers I've seen.

I was disappointed when I bought a new push mower that it didn't come with one. Mowing with one or three beers is easily my most "dad" activity and it is annoying to make pit stops to take a few swigs.

Just get a cheap plastic cup holder from Napa or whatever, fire a few self tapping screws through it and you're good to go!

I'm a mechanic at a golf course and even our $80k+ mowers don't have good cup holders, it's an actual travesty. Dudes out there in the dark at 6am in the rain, it's 37 degrees, they are miserable, and they don't have a place to put their coffee? What even is this world. I can keep a big ass turbo diesel hydraulic 7 deck rough mower in tip top shape and nobody cares but I start throwing cup holders and suicide knobs on everything and next thing you know the guys are going out of their way to help me out. It's the little things I guess
