The squash / pumpkin area (about 20 by 70) - vines and weeds. Once
the vines spread I can't get the tiller through to keep weeds down
so they kinda take over - but since the squash keep growing we don't
worry about it. So now everything is picked and there are a lot of
weeds 3' high and some 5 and 6' high. I mow through real slow and
after a week go over it again. Then I will plow it under and in the
spring just disc and till . I thought of Clark as my Wheelhorse was
chewing up those big weeds chuckle


Ok guys let me update you, again.
The new lawntractor, the one Sears replaced FREE OF CHARGE went
back to Sears when they delivered my new one, free of charge,
The new lawntractor has been the F'ing fantastic !! ( I know some of
you don't wanna hear that)
But the replacement lawntractor has performed FLAWLESS.
BTW Kathy likes it so much, she has taken over the mowing, and
towing the lawn sweeper to take up the leaves and pine needles.
I'm now fixing the barn and winterizing the house and she's
mowing!!!!! I don't mind the ribbing (as I roll my eyes)
It was a pain at first but I really am happy I bought the mower I
did, as Kathy now loves to do the lawn. (that's really nice)
Now If I can get her to mow down the steep hills, I'd be all set.

Put the thing in low gear/low speed, keep the foot off the brake. Slow,
but uneventful downhill. Once she experiences it, she might
try a higher gear/higher speed. If she's told to go perpendicular to
a steep hill while on the mower, don't blame her for not doing so.

Tried that she won't do it.
