    Tyler "suburbs"... :)
    Yep, last year I recall a guy near Longview that rolled his commercial zero turn down an embankment and broke his neck. Speed + carelessness + uneven terrain will get you every time.

    I am 73 and mow my grass two times a week, but it is two acres of flat land with no surprises. Biggest thing I have to remember is to not do full speed turns because my lot is 100% sand and sometimes those front wheels will dig in and bury themselves which brings you to a screeching halt. My mower will only do about 7-8 mph so it is not like the big boys.
    If you got them slick-tires (round and slick),
    have you considered getting some larger, flat-bottom (unrounded) replacements from Lowe's?

    I haven't watered the lawn in 5 years, that's East Texas rain...or at least it was until this summer. Now I mow about once every two weeks thanks to the drought.

    Here the annual average is 46 inches of rain; up until this year, we have beat that handily for the past 5 years. I can cut the grass at 2" and in 3 days with 90 degree heat and rain it needs cutting again

    I actually do enjoy doing yardwork, and I'm pretty good at it as well. I have always taken a lot of pride in having my yards look nice and well kept. Years ago when I lived in town, several times my yard was selected as "Yard of the Month" on our street. I was very proud of that.

    My wife & I have a little role reversal going on: she does the yard work & I cook.

    She loves mowing & working in the yard, and I’m allergic as hell to Bermuda, so it’s a win/win (plus I get to stay in the AC and watch the Rangers suck while I cook.)
