Hill and Sidehill spring mowing warmup.

[AxleHub]

Greetings,

So in Western Wisconsin, yesterday May 9th was the 1st lawn cutting of the year for me. And every year, the 1st lawn cutting on steep hills and sidehills is a new feeling of pucker tension until you get used to it again.

Not only is it sidehill angle, but the lawn has "moved a little" here and there and you're just never quite certain. By the time the second cutting happens, you're again adjusted, but it's that first cutting of feeling the standard inclines and leaning that just makes it so much different than flat lawn cutting.

You'd think after all these years it would be different, but it's like the 1st hot humid day or the 1st snow/wind day. . . the body has to adjust lol.

I tend to agree, i got some banks of my own. My wife refuses to mow them, and thats ok cause i don't want her to have a mishap. Yes the first mowing orr two is a little erie, but by the 1st of june you are "back in the saddle" so to speak.
