I honestly have no idea why this would be the case, but its likely related to your phone's settings, or automatic password filling, or the browser settings rather than this board.
Go to settings>Passwords and see if there is one stored for this site and if so delete it and retry to log in. You could go into settings and try clearing the internet history and cache for the browser you're using, is the only other suggesting I can think of.

if you try to log in on the main page, it will reject ye every goddamn time. If you enter the TGP portal and then log in, it happily accepts you. Why are you logged out anyway?

BIL gave me a zero turn mower he couldn't keep running. I had to do some work on the motor and that's been my project on the weekends for the past month. Anyways I got it running and mowed my yard for the first time with it today. I mowed almost an acre with multiple trees in 20 minutes.
I was going to sell it thinking it was stupid to have a huge commercial mower for a yard my size. I'm gonna keep it now.

Front-end mowers are fun to operate too.
We went from a 33" snapper (newer models of the type Forrest Gump operated in the movie) to a 60" Grasshopper my uncle loaned us when I blew up the snapper with racing fuel and opening up the carburetor. Dad didn't buy the ultra expensive (for mowers) 60" Grasshopper, but he brought home a 54" Hustler within a few weeks.
I will give you a tip: use mulching blades and only go 75-80% speed wise. You'll like the cut a lot better, won't have to replace blades as often and won't need to screw around with a bagger.

yea I have gator mulching blades on it and I don't go wide open - mainly because I just rebuilt the motor
I saw a video on youtube where guys will invert the front shaft pulleys on a cheap mower - like an MTD branded - and the size difference to spin the blades is now on the transmission, and the mower will go from like 7mph to 15mph which is a pretty big difference. Guys are flipping them over from all the torque. Completely redneck thing to do but if one day I'll come across a cheap one and I'm gonna buy it just to hop it up.
Hustler is a great mower for the money. Its probably the best mower you can get for residential owners that have a decent size yard.
This one is a Scag with a 61" deck.

My front yard is the size of a putting green so I used a cordless weedeater to mow it. I do have an old school manual mower but you have to run over tufts of grass 6-7 times to cut them. But it does pretty good on big clumps of clover, which is pretty much all my front yard is, along with moss. I wish it was all moss.

Link to the videos? That sounds neat, but not near enough for me to track them down...

I've watched 3 of them similar to this one - its the same process - MTD makes a bunch of different mower brands.
unscrew the pulley, cut the panel, drill a hole in the shaft, swap the pulley and now you have a cheap go kart
