Super tall grass

[Black02Silverado]

Well I just got done mowing the yard, well take that back yesterday I just got done mowing the yard. What normally took me two hours on my old Cub Cadet, Which by the way went for $610 bucks on EBay, now takes me about an hour and twenty minutes on the new mower.

 

Well with all this rain we have been getting and my schedule being so crazy, I finally was able to get to the yard yesterday. I started it as soon as I got home from work at 4:30 and didn't get done till 9. In between that was a 30 minute dinner break.

 

The stuff was so high and thick and still wet, even though it was sunny all day, that I had to double cut it. When it was all said and done I had 32 piles of grass to pick up. Raking is a big pain in my book but I had to because if I didn't I would have had a brown yard from all the dead grass that I would have left behind.

 

I wish my digital camera would have came yesterd, I'm hoping it will be here today, ordered it Monday. I went around the yard in the truck and filled it up with grass. I mean when it was all said and done the pile in the back of my Silverado was taller than the cab and if you tried to put more grass in it all that would have happened was it would have ran down the and over the sides of the bed. That would have been a picture for sure. I was also wondering what the weight of it was. Didn't seem to load down the truck any but as wet as it was and packed in there it would have been interesting.

 

Oh and since it was basically dark and wet with dew, and I have a slight hill in the back, my G80 got a work out a few times, you can tell when it locks that is for sure.

 

To bad I don't live near a farm. I know a few cows would have loved to have munched on all that grass. Buffett style for them.

 

Oh one more thing. It would have taken me about two hours longer if I still had the Cub. That ExMark I got is a dream, cut through it well and not once did it bogg down. Chaulk one up for todays technology and quality in commercial lawn care.

I cut 3/4 acre with a 6.5 hp push mower. With the rain we have had, I have to cut it more often than once a week! It takes me about 2 1/2 hours total.

I just finished a 2 day cutting jb on my lawn.

 

Itwas so thick and wet, it clogged up the side-chute on my mower. A copperhead snake decided to strike at me while Iwas mowing, so I stopped for a while.

d**n man a snake, if the snake did that to me, it would have been a sign from god to get a neighborhood kid to cut the lawn.....I don't do snakes

I had to chop down a ton of these 3' high plants with a string trimmer the other day. A brush cutting head would have helped. I broke the string 3 times on those plants.

I have a .410 full choke snake removal tool that works wonders. Ya need to carry a sand can to fill the divot where the snake was though.
