Mow, Mow, Mow your field....

Giving a visual to how much mowing I did in a total of 16 hours of walking behind the beastly 14.5 HP mower with a 30 inch cutting deck. After asking, partner graciously agreed to mow about 3/4 of an acre on the dryer section with the riding mower while I continued in the wetter areas. The rest was too wet to mow with the small or large tractors, so I got my steps in mowing 4.8 acres 30 inches at a time. (I got to mow the actual yard with the regular mower as well...partner decided he couldn't help out there.)

Hoping that by mowing once now with the walk behind beast, we won't be mowing 7 foot tall reed canary grass in June like we have done the last two years. It's nasty to mow at that height because it wraps around the drive shaft of the mower unless you back over it... a whole different challenge to accomplish on lumpy ground...driving backwards to mow... I am the kind of woman who tries to act pre-emptively to make life easier down the road...
