My tractor came December 31. I bought a used Landpride 72" rear finish mower. I spent a day and about $40 reconditioning and tuning it. FINALLY, the grass in the old hayfield (6-7 acres) is tall enough to mow for the first time. So, I clear my day's schedule so me and my "baby blue" can have some time together. I almost couldn't sleep the night before..... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Anyway, I get on and begin. Wow! What a great cut! And what a smooth ride. Imagine my disappointment when there was absolutely NOTHING left to mow in less than 90 minutes /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif!! I was just getting warmed up.
Now I gotta go spread some lime....That probably won't take that long either /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif!

PS To do the same field with my Craftsman 50" garden tractor would have taken all day and beat the he!! out of me.
PPS I guess the total job time was about 2 hours if you count taking off the wheel weights, loader, and rear implement then putting on the mower and setting the height.
