I have been cutting grass at the small plant where my wife works. They asked me to bring my tractor and grapple one day to retrieve a few 55 gallon drums out in their field. A passerby saw my tractor and wanted me to price hogging 5 acres. I did, and waited to see if he wanted me or not before I bought a rotary cutter. A month later he called, and I got the last Deere lx5 my dealer had for cost. I cut his land and thought I learned alot for my first time. I learned I needed a suspension seat so I could mow faster than 3mph. Today I went to move some gravel for my wifes work, and they saw the bush hog and wanted me to cut some for them. This field looks to be 20 acres, way more than I want to cut. They said cut what you can in 4 hours just to make the place look better. I learned a whole lot more on my second outing.
1. You can kill the tractor engine going through deep ruts and cutting dirt.
2. Watch out for stray concrete chunks. I hit one when I looked at the train going by.
3. A tire and wheel can be hid in tall grass. This will kill the engine also. I thought I had my bucket low enough.
4. I don't know what flying beast stung me, but 5 hours later it still hurts.
5. Deep rut make you go real slow, and wearing seat belt real tight, helps.
6. Tall overgrowth can hide a deep hole very well.
7. Try to talk to the man that did this job last, since he works at said place, he might give better insight than the guy that is paying.
8. I need a bigger tractor
9. I can drink more water in four hours than I thought. Carry more water.
All this typing took my mind off of the "bee stings" JC
