Problems getting rid of grass clippings?
You think you have problems with removing cut grass?
This year has seen almost record grass growth here in South Wales My Lawns got away from me and at last I have managed to get the grass cut and carted, great job in this heat wave. I've had problems with the cutter bar and have spent hours doing running repairs, part of the problem is the vibration you get with a reciprocating blade. This is the machine I use http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps3f8f7e74.jpg and this was part way through cutting http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps00167a40.jpg 5 very hefty loads well strapped down hauled off http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...pse515b29c.jpg And this is the resulting heap http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...psbadb89b1.jpg This is the first year I've had hay fever, but I suppose that cutting the grass in a cloud of pollen for several hours is bound to have an effect. Loads of seed come off the grass so a bit of rain and I'll have plenty of fresh grass. Now to take the cutter bar off the tractor and put the Rotavator on and get to work on the field.

David @ a sweltering side of Swansea Bay Good Heavens, David!, that's an enormous heap. I'm not surprised you had hay fever .. it makes me feverish just looking at it! I bet you won't leave it so long next time. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

Farmers round here are getting the heaviest hay crop for years. |
