What am i missing?

Lawns!!!???? My wife likes to mow with the riding mower leaving a clean even cut. Looks real nice right after being mowed. But the primary reason is a fire break on three sides of our house. Less leaf pick-up every fall also.

We mow about 8 acres at the farm. Takes about 6 hours total every other week most of the mowing season - every week in Spring when it grows faster with cooler temps and rain.

My wife loves the ZTR. It’s her toy.

I have to “settle” for the tractor.

Between the 2 of us we can get it done in 3 hours.

Thank you.

We are fortunate in that the land (1) is relatively level, (2) the trees are healthy but spaced out and (3) the farm land is well differentiated from the non-farm land.

Just beautiful.. Those folks up on the hill appreciate the beauty of your property and I’m sure their land’s value appreciates because of it. ;-)

I can appreciate those large park like lawns, but i'd not have one at the house. I rather have a wilder looking environment. Periodically i'll chain saw a tree or two that's gotten big enough to be a potential problem, or firewood and run the rough cut mower around and weed-eat a bit here and there. I too find it somewhat pleasant to mow down a patch of blackberries that have gotten a bit big and too close to the driveway. I think it looks nice, and quashes any rumors that i've passed away and nature is taking over.

LOL, I always tell the wife in a couple of years I'll get it to where it looks like someone lives here!

Best,

Thanks for the invite Ed. Of course there is the ammo thing now. Back then I could reload a box of 50 .45's for less than 5 dollars. Can't do that now.

Agree, but at least it is starting to show up on ammo seek a little. I consolidated calibers and stocked up a few years ago. I was telling my wife I was a genius, she reminded me the end of the world looks like a virus and not a bunch of slow, fun to shoot zombies...............

yeah, the zombies were just wishful thinking.

I own 14 acres which is 5 acres of lawn, 2 acres of pond and 7 acres of woods and swamp. I mow 3 acres which is the land around the house, garage and barn plus I mow 2 more acres beyond the backyard. Takes me 2 hours a week. I like having long views of manicured lawn from every window. I'm in the processing clearing out some more woods so the view from the house to the pond 150 ft away is wide open and unobstructed except for a few large trees. This will add another acre to my mowing. The forest will reclaim unmowed land within 2 years.

Having a lawn buffer keeps the bears, bobcats and coyotes away from the house, my livestock and pets. Plus mowing is very relaxing, and as I mow I get to enjoy the view of my property and it reminds me why I moved out to the country in the first place.
