Mowing Field Mowing Tips

   / Field Mowing Tips #11  
ROUGH CUT MOWER.. Set at the desired cut height, and go as fast/slow as you need to to mow safely and watch for obstructions, debri, and holes. If the engine lugs.. go slower.

on large square or rectangle pastures, I like to cut the edges and then make a strip down the middle, and then make the passes so that Im cutting one strip down the middle, and then one strip down an outter edge.. this keeps the turning distance the same.. if you guess the middle correctly.. your last passes on each side should be on the same overall 'pass'

I haven't been on here in a while. I bought my first tractor, a JD 3120, a hair over a year ago. I guess I've been too busy putting the 280 hours it has on it now. I decided to leave my acreage kind of rough for now so I dumped my X320 mower and got myself an RC1060 for the tractor. I'll get another mower at a later date when I have a yard worth manicuring.

I'm just seeding most of my dirt right now so I don't really have anything to play on right now but my neighbor wants me to mow his field. Apparently the old guy that has been doing it for many years recently passed away. Anyway, the grass is 3'+ and I was wondering the best way to attack it. Do I do it twice at different heights, or do I just set it as low as he wants it and go slow?

THanks in advance.
