Nothing but fun from now on, one of the reasons I like winter hunting and trapping season. No mowing! Wife was happy, things are growing well. We need some rain to help the mushrooms now.

Even with the right mower that would be a six pack job for me.

Good on you.

That makes me envious. I'm still looking at 2 feet of snow out my window.

I'm going to have to get some goats or sheep to eat my grass. I believe our Governor has included lawn care services in her stay at home order. You guys better hope she does not become VP

I mowed our 2 acres yesterday.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I have a 72" Exmark and it doesn't take that long, 1.45 is all, mower is rated at 6.5 acres an hour. I like to fly radio controlled airplanes in my yard and even landed my real one there on a bet. The pics from my phone make it look bigger than in real life. Some of what you are seeing is the clover around my warm season grass as a fire break.

Not looking forward to hooking mine up. Wish I had a drive over deck.

It looks great

I can't say anything I can spend 12hrs a week on my 72" zero turn just getting around the houses, road frontage
15' paths/trails and around the cabin. Add in 2 days of bush hoging twice a year to that. (5' bush hog) it's part maintenance part aesthetics.

I also dislike mowing season.

You way behind already mow at work four times and six at home.
But the older I get the more I enjoy mowing cause it beats pushing it up

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
