After the pics I have seen of your land, I would not want to have to push mow it!! you need a cable at the top that you can push the mower down the hill, then hook the cable to it and it will pull it to the top for you!!

Yea right!

Hey Tony, would it be easier with a weed eater?

NO! did that for the last 3 years. Takes over 6 hours that way.

JK, Tony!!

Quote: Just a thought, that is how my DH does the front ditch here, because too much to pull the mower up all the time. But, weedeating is a lot of work too, he always ends up with his hands tingling for an hour after.....

I am sorry Tony! I have had to cut grass with a push mower for years and a weed eater! But now I am too old and we have a riding mower and it still takes us 3 hrs to do our yard. Yuck.

When I cut grass for DH I only do the front yard inside the fence. I don't do the ditch and back yard. To many rocks in the back yard and don't want to break any windows. And don't know how to cut the ditch.

My 15 yo out there helping Mom.....she is pounding the wire staples to make sure they are secure. I don't have enough strength in my hands to hold the stapler good enough to get them in all the way, so she has been going along behind me with the hammer.
I can't believe that I have done this much in about a week or 10 days!!!! I am happy!!!!!

Quote: When we first started volunteering at the sanctuary there was a big Kubota field mower that we were using to cut the grass there. Made quick work of the grass, and I used to cut the front ditch with it. Talk about lots of fun!! You just have to get used to riding at an angle, that's all- I used to think it would tip over, but I had a blast mowing the ditch on that thing

Well, I am off to do what I must-
Hope everyone has a day of perfection!!!!!

one of my d'uccles is missing....

I guess it got out through the 2x3 wire at the top of the duck pen.

I had put palm leaves on there, but I guess it got out anyway...
DH is out there looking for it, but I know that chicken is a goner........

I am so stupid- this is totally my fault
