Who hates mowing the lawn?

As a young man , I liked mowing my lawn ! When finished , I had the great feeling of accomplishment and felt proud that my yard looked so good ! I spent extra time trying to make sure I hadn't missed anything .Now , as an old dude , it has become just another " job " on the list that never seems to end ! I still get that feeling of accomplishment , but it's because I wasn't sure my body would make it through another episode of mowing in the hot ( and humid ) weather !

Shortbus, you need a much larger mower. My ex father in law had 40 acres of grass to cut. He had a deisel Kubota to cut the grass but had bought an bush hog attachment wich mounted to the side and it had its own 5 hp gas motor on it. Still, it took him awhile.

RP - Nice avatar. Just sayin. (Go Cal U!)

Anyhoo, I used to absolutely loathe mowing, because I have a 1/2 acre (I know, not much) but I was hauling around 100' of electrical cord for my PLUG IN ELECTRIC mower for the last 2 years. This year I got me an early birthday present when I received a shiny new self-propelled gas mower. LOOOOOOOVE it!

I still don't like mowing, but it takes not even 1/3 of the time!

I love mowing the lawn but i dont currently have a yard to mow...

Vintage Massey Ferguson 150 with a 5 ft PTO-driven mower makes easy work of my lawn. But it still takes 1 hour to do a thorough job of the 3 acres of lawn... and then I have to weed-whack around the trees.

Yeah, a bigger mower is always helpful. I want one with three 4-ft decks like the parks dept uses.

I know you allready got your new mower and all but did you ever think about an cordless electric? Maybe after this broke ankle of mine heals I can take a picture of my weed wacker and how I got it attached to my mower. I just push/pull on a handle to lower or raise it to so the trimming. It actually works pretty good. Little yankee ingenuity here.

I only used the electric because I had it from when I lived in a townhouse that the landlord didn't maintain the lawn. Having a half-acre, gas is a lot easier than even a cordless electric. Besides, the mower I got has auto-choke and 4 cutting blades! Don't think I'll find that in any electric.

You can come mow mine. I keep wishing my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.

I wish I could cut my own grass. I broke my ankle so cant do any walking without this stupid boot for another 4 weeks!!!!

Those who have to mow their own lawns hate doing it and those who have no lawn to mow really miss it!

You have 25 acres? Get yourself some cows. Wait is shoveling cow manure better than mowing?

I am graduating up to those... I now have 9 chickens 1 rooster, a kitten, one black lab puppy, a pond full of fish and two stray toads that live next to the hottub. I think I need some goats, a couple of horses and a rattle snake eating monster.

Who knew I moved right into snakeland...
