Mowing 30 hours of mowing... at least 6 left...

woodlandfarms · Jun 14, 2008

OK, just what the heck did I get myself into. Last year I mowed 2 sections... And then I got into brushing... Taking the grapple, pulling out the blackberries. It was fun, it took a long time, never equated it to mowing time.

Now, I have nearly 30 hours of mowing in. I got at least 6 more before I am done. It is all those darn trees that I have to manuever my 90" mower around...

I now envy those with 2 acres.

You could let them grow back up.

Just curious, are you using a Woods RM990?

No, this is a custom brush hog for the Power-Trac...

When you say 2 sections...you are talking about 320 acres...correct?

One section = 160 acres...

Man, I have not heard anyone use Sections this way in a while but you are correct, and I am incorrect. No, I meant I break my property up into sections to mow. Nothing more than that. No relevance to area. I have 40 acres, 15 of which I maintain at the moment.
