Rotary mowing

[Renob]

I mow when the field gets to what I call "dog high". That is, when I can't see the Chesapeake Bay Retreiver any more, it's time to hook up the Bush Hog!

I mow my septic field twice once in June and again in the fall. It's the only grass I have other than some paths. But here is a question. I have a 60" finish mower. I want a new tractor, more HP , and think I will sell the finish mower with my current tractor. I also have brush to cut back and I think I will get a 60" rotary cutter. Does a rotary cutter cut grass ok ? The septic field is pretty rough and we do not intend ever to have a lawn.

The 1320 is a good little tractor. IMHO a 60" RC cuts grass good enough for my nonexistent neighbors; some RC's cut nicer than others. My old Woods seemed to have cut the lower field a little "finer" than my Tebben. My dealer feels thae old Woods RC's cut better than their newer models. Jay

I rough mow about every other month except in winter, so I'd say about 5 times a year. I mow my yard and along my driveway about every other week. I just bought a used rear finish mower and will probably use it about once a month around my ponds. At least, that's my plan.

It all depends on how close you want to keep it cut. I would cut mine 2-3 times a year when it was open field.

Now that it's pine planted I plan on keeping it cut close between the rows to keep the 4 wheeler out of the little pines. She also likes it cut close for her 4 wheeler "trails" as she calls them.

I mow mine in early June and in late Sept I recut the lanes I use for taking the grandchildren on tractor rides. The main part of the fields get only the June mowing.
