It SOUNDS great, but a lot of young people don’t want to work much...they’d rather be on their cell phones. That’s why there are so many ‘help wanted’ signs everywhere in our area. But, @Xerocles , you totally have the right idea!!
Top 5 best riding lawn mowers for uneven terrain in 2020Hello everyone! We have about 4 acres around our house (not our pastures) that my husband diligently mows to keep the bugs down and the living pleasant. He has been using a 60” zero-turn gravely mower for 8 years which has held up fairly well. Unfortunately, it has been getting more and more challenging, due to exploding pocket gophers, mild pig rooting (kunekune, not traditional farm pigs!), some dog digging, and changes in terrain due to torrential rains (we have some nice rolling to the land that is less-nice after multiple inches of rain!) The physical jarring for my husband has become so severe that he won’t even dream of letting me help (he is in excellent physical shape; I’m ... average!). Soooo, I’m looking into whether there is a different kind of mower that could better handle the really uneven areas (and that I could do, to help out on the task). I’ve never used a traditional riding lawnmower - anyone have good experiences? Or a “lawn tractor”? We do have a compact Deere 3038 tractor with shredder, but we can’t use it due to many obstructions and crisscrossing plumbing pipes (placed too shallowly by original owner), and we try to keep the grass shorter than the tractor could do, to minimize burrs and excessive crickets/grasshoppers in the summer (even with my 40-odd chickens helping).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
We possess 540cc Troy-Bilt Riding mower. It is a very powerful mower powered by gas that works fairly well on rough terrain. And now we've had that for years.
