Mowing Heavy Tractor and Mowing over Septic Field

   / Heavy Tractor and Mowing over Septic Field #11  
I'll second that. The second question (after "do I fall in with my tractor") is "am I ruining my system?" Compacting something that's supposed to percolate water and leachate can spoil it. A good percent of the percolation from a leach field is up, evaporation to the atmosphere. Mow over your system with a riding mower, and let the field do its job.
