The solitude of no mowers, leaf blowers & weed whackers

[Axxe55]

The last two days have been mowing intensive around here. Finally got a couple days of sunshine.

When we get several days of sunshine, and hopefully the ground here will be dry enough to now again. Ground is just saturated with water right now.

Fertilized and pruned my peach tree yesterday evening. Nice outside. If it wasn’t for the glare I’d setup outside.

Well, I have been doing my part to break the solitude for the last two days.

Not that I have any neighbors close enough to hear me though!

I've mowed once this year. I need to do it again but it's been way too wet. Last time I walked through the back yard, I started sinking in the mud and almost stepped on a frog. It's like a swamp back there.

Slacker!

Other than part of December and January, I didn't really stop mowing grass.

Mowed the least swampy parts today with the zero turn. Have to see which of the others gets stuck least this weekend

We have gotten my father's Dixie Chopper stuck a few times in the orchard when it's soggy.

I'm thinking the John Deere 318, it has ag tires and wheel weights with hydraulic steering and deck lift.

This isn't mine just a pic off the internet but it looks the same

I have a 6' finish mower for the Kubota but need to put the new water pump on it.

I always enjoy watching my yard crew mow the lawn and trim the bushes and do all the other work out there I don't want to do anymore. Sold all the equipment. It was 91 out there and I was inside at 70. Best $45 I ever spent! I do go out there and sit or walk around after they finish and marvel how good it looks!

Heh that was me today. Round 2 tomorrow. Damn that was a lot of weeds. Lawn looking better now though.

I kept after mine. Still a lot of work though.

Mowed the back yard a couple of days ago, but for some reason the front yard is always rife with wild flowers this time of year. Just about every variety of wild flower except Blue Bonnets. Once they go to seed, I'll mow up front, or after Easter, which ever comes first.

Nothing like hearing the sound of a mower.

When you have finished your yard and are sitting on the back porch listening to your neighbor mow.

One of the emergency orders stated that lawn care was essential as it was "necessary for code compliance".

Glad we got our priorities straight.

It also keeps the rodents at bay...so not exactly a bad thing.

Raining hard here, no mowing today. Guess I'll just have to sit on my ass and drink beer. Mrs Whistler is miffed her schemes are drowned.

. . . Upgrade to a commercial mower. I went from the heavy duty Hustler residential mower to the Scag commercial mower and now mow in about half the time I used to. And it has a full floating deck to act as a suspension. Between yard, roadsides, around the shop, etc., I probably mow a little over 4 acres each week.

I’ve got a full commercial Grasshopper front mount mower with a 61” deck and a 29hp motor, which I love, but it still takes a long time because of all the trees and other stuff to mow around.
