Here's the deal -- I've about an acre and a half that's never been mowed. Up til now, I've 'maintained' it with a string trimmer. There's a lot of twigs and small rocks out there just lying in wait . . .
I plan on running the yard rake over the area first, to get what I can. However, I'm much too familiar with the working of Mr. Murphy and know fair well I'll miss things./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif So what else can I do to minimize damage to the blades, the deck, my nerves, /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif and trivialities like the house?/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
Would I be better off running a rented brush hog over the area first? Or do I just throw caution to the winds and figure on examining the blades after the first pass?
