A lot of good stories on here. Glad we don't have wasps living in the ground in my neighborhood! When I first bought my farm about half of it was pasture with no animals and the grass was waist high. I started mowing with my Allis D17 and Woods 5 ft pull behind brush cutter. Hit posts, barbwire, cinder blocks, left over concrete blocks from the silo, steel fence posts, steam engine flues, well rods, parts of old implements and about every other piece of farm junk you can imagine. After ten years, I have it cleaned up to the point where I rarely ever hit anything anymore. I use a finish mower on nearly all of it these days.
