Re: Who hates mowing the lawn?

I have 6 acres and mow 4 of them. I used to look forward to mowing as well , but as I'm getting older, I'm not as agile as I was and injuries over the last 25 years or so makes it harder getting on and off my garden tractor. I bought a new Ariens tractor in 1998 with a 60" cutting deck which usually gets the job done in about 3 hours depending on the time of year and how tall I let the grass get . Now that I look back I think maybe I should have bought a commercial mower as they are easier getting on and off. I still would rather mow the lawn than shovel snow , especially after getting 179 inches of it last season.

Re: Who hates mowing the lawn?

Do they sell a lawn mowing deck, or attachment for a SMART car?

There's a service called "GoatBusters" in Charlottesville, VA that specializes in tough vegetation problems.

On our 1+ acre, I mowed it with a gas push mower for 2 summers....then the grass started growing 7" a week and I couldn't keep up. John Deere was the solution! If you can't keep up or it's taking too much time, then a mower upgrade is the answer.

... or a DR Field and Brush mower. I bought one a few years back to tame some of the rougher areas on my property and it works great!

Re: Who hates mowing the lawn?

I used to love mowing the lawn. We used to have a 1.5 acre area w/ lakefront and I was usually better at keeping the lines clean and straight than my dad did when he would mow (we used a cub cadet riding mower). I don't know why, but for some reason I really enjoy a nicely trimmed lawn (metaphor speculation may now begin on that statement).

Re: Who hates mowing the lawn?

Love living in a Townhouse, I can mow our lawns in about 30mins.
Even got an American powered 2 stroke mower.
