my mom bought a brand new lawnmower and asked me to mow the lawn, and little did i know that it would be so fun. my first obstacle i came to was an ant hill, i contemplated going around it, and killing them with chemicals but i decided that would take too long so i just ran it over and dirt flew out the side of the lawn mower and the ants blew away in the wind and the problem was solved.
the second obstacle, was a pile of big sticks, i thought about moving them but i couldnt do it without letting go of the throttle and i did not want to start it up again. so i just ran 'em over and they crackled and the lawnmower actually stopped, but it would be the first time of about fifteen times i had to restart it because of things like that. then i came up to a piece of dog poo, and i didnt want to pick it up. so i proceeded to run it over and chop it up, and by the time i had passed it, it had disappeared into thin air.
then i came up to some trash. i didnt want to take the time to pick it up, so i just ran it over and it came out the bottom chopped up, sprinkling and distributing evenly across the backyard. i thought to my self "a heavy wind will come and blow it away one day" and kept mowing. shortly afterwards, i came up to a tricycle and some other heavy objects that would take two hands to carry, so i just mowed around them. nobody will ever know that the grass under the heavy objects was long, as long as nobody moves them, so i left it there.
after that, my mom asked me to pull out the weeds. i thought "that's some hard work, that could take a while." so i revved up the lawnmower, and i ran them bad boys over and they were no more. lastly, i came across a mushroom which i had no idea what to do with, so i just ran it over also and white mushroom bits littered our front lawn.
at the end of the day everything went great, nobody discovered the tall grass under the heavy objects, the trash was blown away, the mushrooms just kind of deteriorated, the poo was gone from the get-go and the ant hill is crawling with millions of ants but the grass around it is cut short and that's all that matters; it was a success.
You are wise in the ways of mowing.
I started my rider up last weekend, and for some reason the deck did not lift even. The thing didn't stall out, it's like 18 horse but dug a 3 inch hole on the left side of the mower and shot a gallon of dirt all over the walk. It was bent, and became useless.
This last weekend I got 2 replacement blades for the deck, and started to chop away. I did decide to pick some of the sticks up, but the rest I just blazed over.
Here is a tip for you. Always blow the grass and debris towards the sides of the lawn. All that trash and mushroom debris would be blown to the borders leaving your lawn looking great.
Also, the tricycles and wagons or whatever toys are out there can be nudged in any direction. You cut the grass in the area of all obsticles, and once they are out of your way you cut the stuff under them.
Please find some time to post your mowing vids online. Remind me and I'll record also, I don't need to cut again for a week or so.
Is there a mowing clan at RHP? There should be a mowing forum at least.
