I don't mind if you use them in other threads for illustration purposes and referencing photo credit to me.

But, using one of them as your avatar just feels a bit like identity theft. Every time I would see one of your posts, I would say hey that's me... Oops, not really... I use that one or similar ones in other forums and may rotate it to this one...

One thing I just remembered... Early last spring, this area of my property burned (decades of down ferns each year). I would never mow it because it was so thick, I couldn't see what was underneath. So, shortly after the burn, I ensured that all rocks, sticks, and anything else was clear and rotary cut the remaining brush sticks. Now, I had confidence to mow wherever whenever I desired. So, as Spring and Summer progressed, I let it mostly grow back, but mowed some paths, sort of like a maze. There are a few areas that were growing thick thistles mixed in with the ferns. I decided this year that I was going to mow them down before they went to seed. By the time I did that, the ferns and thistle were 5 to 8 feet tall. Well, I just drove the X749 through it with little issues. Only had to back up a few times to allow the deck to clear itself. And, that occurred only in the thickest patches where the tall growth was still on the right of the deck. Anywhere where it was clear on the right of the deck was no problem...

nice, well i was offered a job at a hardware store full time this summer so i dont think the x749 is needed even though it is nice machine might look for something bigger for the farm and house.. thanks for all your help
