Yesterday was final pasture mowing for the season (unless it starts raining like He!! soon). The grass was maybe a foot high, but the weeds, and other trash were much taller, like 2 or 3 feet. For some reason, having a big invasion of Russian Olive, Bradford pear and locust tree sprouts this year. The RC1060 was set at about 7 inches with a slight rearward rake (maybe 1/2" that you can see in some of the photos) and did a beautiful job. I was taking my time and allowing a foot of overlap or so.
Had a nice, 80 degree overcast day to work. Mowing along the perimeter fence line always takes come concentration, then I go a little more on "autopilot".
Here's a Russian Olive bush about to meet it's match.
Here you can see the slight rearward rake on the mower. I find this delivers the best quality cut and provides best mulching action.
I have no idea what this tall stuff is.... corn grass or something? There is always a wet spot right here, even though it's about the highest spot around.
