Thanks for the advice on mower engagement/rpm.
Yes, once I knock some areas down, that have gotten away from me this summer, I can march through it in a normal fashion. First I need to go through the chest high grass and plant marker poles where the few large rocks are located. There's only about six spots I'm concerned about. I'm going to make my first passes, forward or reverse at max elevation on the cutter.
If I can break the big rocks loose, that will be that. A guy was plowing the dirt road below the dirt road below my dirt road with a dozer and left a big hump of a rock. When asked why he didn't get that rock out of the road, his reply was, "Dats no rock bruder, dats de mountain he".
On waiting: We wait for everything so that's no problem. The longest wait around here is waiting for the power to come back up although at .47 per kilowatt hour, one should be happy when it's down.
I will post photos of the new tool, high on Recovery Hill. My pasture is 1/4 mile from the ocean and 800 feet above. Although I have years of experience operating just about everything known to man or beast, with the abrupt plunges here I'm going to wade into operation of this unit, very slowly and carefully. The good news is that the jungle is so thick it will catch even a tractor on a 65 degree slope, but I don't want to go for even a short ride in that direction!:confused2:
