It’s too hot to mow.

'Cud' is the clumps of damp grass the mower leaves. Mulching blades are especially prone to 'cudding'.

um, no... unless this a slang for your area. Or maybe you chew your... cud. LOL

Curious, as I have gotten older I can take the cold better than the heat. Both extremes are more difficult than they used to be.

How about the rest of you?

Funny, I guess some are too pampered to do outdoor work without cool aid and AC. I understand some in this forum spend hours working their fields, and a cab w AC is warranted, but I have to laugh when AC becomes a necessity in order for them to get on their lawnmower, with a front loader, and cut grass for 30 minutes.

YOU may have 30 minutes of grass cutting, but some of us have acres to cut. Ain't no 30 minutes thing. (plus some medications limit your ability to sweat. No sweat = heat stroke.)

Come up here in the winter if you want to experience REAL cold.

heh... people talking about being too hot, while sitting still on a mower or tractor. I'm moving and leveling another 20,000 lb. of crushed stone today. Did 20,000 lb. over the prior two days, and 40,000 lb. last week. Stay hydrated, pace yourself, and keep moving forward.

Heh. Western, northern, or UP maybe. SE tends to be much milder although we have had a few bad ones.

I mowed our acre of grass at around sunset last night and it wasn’t too bad. Today, I bushogged (3) small hayfields, sitting under the canopy of my tractor, and it also wasn’t bad, at a clip of about 10 mph, in 6th gear, at pto rpm.

Don't mind little heat but humidity

I've only mowed once this summer. And that was because it actually rained one day so I did a mow the day after.

You're funny, with your "REAL cold".
