Description
As a few of you might know, when I’m not drawing things getting puffy or exploding, I work maintenance at a golf course. My main job involves raking the bunkers/sand traps, and to help me with that task I have a lovely little machine known as a Toro Sand Pro to make the job go far quicker than it would otherwise.
So here he is as a pony. I blame Badumsquish.

Yeah, Geoff does have wide tires here. This isn’t like a Corvair (which, incidentally, probably had thin tires too; that was standard issue in the early 60s. I don’t think that helped their rollover reputation even if it was low to the ground.)
I didn’t realize Geoff’s not a mower but a sand trap smoother. Oops. Well alrighty then, no problems.

Trust the guy what drew this thing and drives this cute bugger every summer, Geoff’s a tricycle, and it ain’t really that much of a concern. The center of gravity’s low enough and wheels wide enough that even at full speed, you’d be hard pressed to get ‘im tipping. Especially considering just how slow he goes to begin with, being a petrol-hydraulic drive.
‘sides, he’s no mower, that tail’s specialized for smoothing sand traps and not much else.
Sorry, this fellow’s a bit dangerous and really should have 2 wheels in front; besides, 3 wheels might give an uneven cut when turning. I’ve seen how a Reliant can tip over (though it was exaggerated in Top Gear for comedy.)

Have a feeling that Geoff here is probably much faster when trotting around than riding on his wheels, though I’d have a hell of a time trying to explain why the bunkers are full of big hoof marks :P
As for porn, on the one hand, it would be a little weird considering I do kinda treat the real Geoff as a bit of a companion cube at work, even if I only rake bunkers twice a week at most. On the other hand, if you were the one drawing it, I would strangely not object.
That works well, yeah. Although wouldn’t that mean one of her flanks is smaller than the other, to account for the smaller pipes?
Nah, I won’t do porn of people’s ocs unless they’re okay with it :P
@the-furry-railfan
I liked the laying down shape since I like the idea of them being able to stand up and walk like a normal pony too :D
@Parallel Black
The round parts where you put the pipe could be the flanks and the two handles the tail :D
Now I really want to try and ponify this thing:
That’s a pipe bender. No idea which part of the pipe bender pony bends the pipe though…
Edited
You made your truck look adorable, I couldn’t resist getting in on the ponified work machinery thing that I sorta hopes take off. Also sorta helps that the Sand Pro already kinda has the shape of a pony laying down.
@race’emhard
As the operator of that lovely little hydraulic drive bunker tractor up there, I really dunno how I’d feel if that happened.
You’re gonna make porn of this aren’t you?
