I've been combing the net for advice, and as always, can't find anything addressing 'exactly' what I'm facing. After convincing my wife to downsize her gardens, I've got two plots that are about 50'x30'. We're outlining w RR ties (to elevate & help drain). Being that I tend to act, then...

Finally broke down and bought a 135 gasser...and realized I may have bought a big project. Everything worked fine on the test drive of course, but after an hour of mowing I noticed a more than acceptable amount of oil dripping from the weep hole under the bell housing, 30+ drops in a minutes...

I'm close to buying either a MF-135 or MF-85 locally, and need some guidance regarding mowing around my pond. Its got a fairly wide dam, slope ranges from 10-20 degrees towards the water and 30+ down the back sides. From what I've learned on this site & others, a sickle may be the safest...
