By my quick-and-dirty calculations, I spent about 20% of my mowing time today turning corners and not cutting anything. In a rectangular field, I usually end up making 270-degree turns on each corner after the first few rounds. Each of those turns takes me around 12 seconds, which means I spend almost a whole minute each round not cutting, just turning. Today's mowing took 60 rounds, which means I spent about an hour of my time just turning corners without cutting anything.
Are there better ways to keep the cutter in the grass more of the time in a rectangular field? Thanks for any suggestions.
