I was 68 years old when I started mowing 20 acres this morning with the little L2550.
Finished this afternoon and I think I am 70 now...

On the opposite end of that spectrum, a friend just purchased a 1025R for his corner lot; after mowing for the first time he was 10 minutes younger.

One of my dad’s favorite sayings.
My mother's, also. It must come with age... and that attitude probably helped them get there.One of my dad’s favorite sayings.

Whenever I see an old neighbor who has survived cancer twice...I always say it's good to see him...he always says..." it's good to be seen and not viewed"...!

Dad, who was 92 when he passed, always said "This getting old is for the birds."

I find that I enjoy mowing and most of my outdoor chores and projects for a certain amount of time. Then I get tired, stiff, or just sick of doing that particular task.
Unless the entire place somehow *needs* to be bush hogged today, I prefer to mow for as long as I'm enjoying it, and then finish it up another day. I don't have a commercial farm that is making me money, so I ought to enjoy the process.
