Horse46 512 #1 Posted March 7, 2015 16 degrees today in Wales, and I couldn't resist. I've cut my lawn for the first time with the Once I'd adjusted the cut it was all go. I got half way through and then a sudden drop in power, oh no I thought, but as I looked at the engine I noticed the wire on the coil had come off. 2mins later and I was off again Very happy owner 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,333 #3 Posted March 7, 2015 Really. I've only got about 6" of that stuff in my yard, but there's a nasty layer of ice and mud under that, I'm starting to wonder if it will EVER dry out. Horse46, I'm assuming you mean 16 degrees Celsius, that still only translates to about 61 degrees Fahrenheit. At 61 degrees, I'm still trying not to think about mowing. Tell us about your tractor, and we do still love photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #7 Posted March 7, 2015 I dug a hole through the snow and glacier in the back yard and managed to get down to the earth's crust after an hour. I did find some grass with some left-over chlorophyll. So I cut it with a pair of scissors. So there! Central Pennsylvania and Wales are very similar! Seriously.......I'm happy you could cut the grass and that she is running well! We will have to wait awhile in regard to 16 Celsius days and the green green grass of home! Two more weeks before geological Spring arrives! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,511 #8 Posted March 8, 2015 ​That would be about 61 Fahrenheit, we are a few weeks away from that here in the states. Looking forward to seat time wityh a mower rather than a blower! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #9 Posted March 8, 2015 OK...let's talk about this. At first thought, I feel there should be a rule that you can not talk about lawns until April...on the other hand, if I was going to watch a video of mowing grass...it would be now. It is always summer or spring somewhere. That is a very nice picture...be about a month and a half to have that here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse46 512 #10 Posted March 8, 2015 All this talk of snow an you have me wishing I was blowing or pushing snow instead of mowing grass. If we get snow here it's never enough to worry about let alone buying blowers or blades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 1,075 #12 Posted March 8, 2015 Horse46, I'm faced with cutting my grass too .... Uuuuugh, took the last cut on the first week of December, seems like the decks only just dried off !! tiggercl, you get that weird 'upside down weather' .. Do you have to mow all year round, or do you get time off ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #13 Posted March 8, 2015 tiggercl, you get that weird 'upside down weather' .. Everything runs in reverse. You have to remember to put your mower blades on backwards "Down There" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse46 512 #14 Posted March 8, 2015 Don't you wish.... December workout.... I'm kinda glad my garden isn't as large as your field, I think I would require something bigger than my C 101 to shorten that lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have to mow all year round, or do you get time off ? I did mine end of October, washed and emptied everything and then we had another month of sunshine and showers doh! This was my virgin cut on the Horse though so, I had to rather than needed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiggercl 28 #16 Posted March 8, 2015 All year round mowing is necessary although it does slow up a bit during the summer months as the ground dries out. 520-H with 60" deck takes between 3 1/2 to 4 hours each session with a few 'hot' refuelling stops.... Good 'seat' time.... it's therapeutic ;o) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
