I really screwed up by not getting mine done this week when we had that single dry day.

Hopefully we don't have to wait till Sunday, it's getting mighty long

I am dreading it because my lawn is so long.....normally takes about 1 hours 15 min......I bet it at least 2-3 hours this time.....can't use the bagger....way too much lawn so that means I have to mow then rake.....and that bites!!

Its going to take a couple days to dry out anyway....at least that's what I'll tell the wife.

Lawn

Did mine on the only dry day. Thank god for that bit of common sense. I have to put wood splitter on the back of the tractor. Once I do that I have to mow lawn, until all the wood is split, with push mower, arghhhhhhhh! That aint good. 18.44 inches of rain set a new record I think for the month of June. So its only the 9th, which leads me to believe we are going way over the top of the old record.

I'm going to use the weed wacked to cut my lawn. The grass is so tall that my new mower won't even go through it. The mower just keeps stalling.

My postage stamp was done 15 minutes after I got home from work. Then I did the neighbors lawn. Another stamp.

Thumbs up raise your mower height

it makes all the difference
in the world

go from bogging down
stalling, clogging.... to cutting!

and for the best performance
take that freakin blade OFF
and sharpen it on the bench grinder


then you'll be cutting again
not wacking the grass off.
