My mowing circles are a mix between going around gardens, houses, and trees, due to the big hill in front of my house there’s also the no spin or tip angle when mowing the side hill. 😁 Edited 21 hours ago by MainelyWheelhorse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 10,214 #24406 Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM Although you can’t see any of the stripes in this picture I mow it a different direction every time. It’s good for the grass and helps eliminate rutting. 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 52,051 #24407 Posted yesterday at 02:03 AM I put stripes in the dirt too. Picked this spring tooth at a flea market for 10 dolla. Bent the hitch tongue with the heat wrench to get it to trail properly. Works great for keeping a fire lane open. 3 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read about the cheap Chinese primers decomposing quickly, that is one reason I haven't used them. Is there a good one available? The new one you installed looks a bit better than most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prices vary quite a bit online so be careful with your purchase. I've seen them anywhere between $17 up to about $35 for the exact same thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 7,248 #24415 Posted yesterday at 06:03 PM Mt weeds don't care witch way I mow them, they just grow wet or dry don't make much difference. I mow them short, so they look more like grass. Every time the State resurfaces the road they come back fill in beside with trash that came out of a side ditch some where. Gave up on trying to have a deason lawn years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the spring, I try and make the yard look nice. By late summer, so long as it's the same color when cut to the same length I am good! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 1,700 #24417 Posted 21 hours ago (edited) Today was get ready for the M&G day. The C-141 got a repainted lower dash and the headlight lens got redone. The 312 got the rear drivers side tire fixed with fix a flat. I mowed the weeds too. The 308 got a new battery hooked up, and needed the drivers rear AG tire reseated on the bead. The 312 and 308 got the attachments taken off in preparation for the M&G. And I put my 50 foot air hose on an old reel to get it picked up. Tomorrow after work, I’ll wash them, swap the newly painted lower dash on the C-141, and figure out what I can thin out at the meet and greet. No picts as I was really busy.
