Daughter mowing grass with the 520HC

[cleat 7,296]

I am currently on light duty due to a hernia surgery last week so my daughter is stepping up to do grass cutting while I heal up.

 

It is really dry here right now so a lot of the yard is brown and not growing but this part is on low ground so it is still doing well.

 

I really should have put the deck on a regular 520H that would go a little slower for her but she did just fine.

 

It has the 48" deck on it right now which is a little easier than the 60" to use.

Looks like she’s doing great!

I guess that you taught her to drive?  Pedal to the metal, right? 

 

It does look like a good backup plan, get better soon.

Get well soon!  She looks to be handling that horse just fine...

She seems to be having a good time.Does she want a Wheel Horse of her own yet?? Get well soon.

She has a 520 that has faded to a pinkish red that I was able to buff up the shine but the colour stayed  so she is happy.

 

I should have put the deck on that one before my surgery but I did not think of it.

 

I feel fine and want to get back to work but the surgeon says to rest and don't lift anything for 6 to 8 weeks to ensure everything heals up inside.

 

Here are a couple pics from 2016 when we brought it home and she was helping clean it up.

 

It is now foot control but when we first got it she could not reach the pedals and liked the stick shift as she called it.

 

The post above with the HC is the first time she has ever mowed grass but she has driven the tractors around for years.
