hand mowing two acres - 03:21 PM
(filed under 'general')

shroom just finished hand mowing two acres (that's just under a hectare). yes, that's right, he did the lot with a hand (petrol, that is, not push) mower. he did two passes, one on the high setting & then another one on the low setting with the catcher. i'm guessing here, since i wasn't keeping track, but i reckon it took about twelve days, doing perhaps five hours a day, to complete the lot & having to empty the catcher about every three feet, no jokes.

i'll give him ten points for stickability. i would have given up after half an hour.

I think we have a spare mower that runs on petrol instead of stickability *smile* interested?

My Dad left me his Cub riding mower. He could have had that done in two days.
