When mowing the lawn with my finish mower, like most of the folks here, I've always tried to mow grass when it's dry. It does a better job, less clumping, etc. It also seems to me it would be better on the mower, since I'm afraid moisture can get into the bearings if the grass is damp/wet. There are a lot of times it would make better use of my time if I could mow in the morning so I could do other things later on. But, since I live in a humid climate where there's always a heavy dew, it doesn't dry off until after 10am. I've seen professional lawn services mow first thing in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew. Will damp/wet grass really noticeably shorten the life of my mower bearings?
