The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

[Hay Dude]

On to the next customer.

This one is always an adventure. A Creek crossing and lots of overgrowth.

I’m amazed ho much can grow in one years time
Path is always overgrown or has fallen trees. Good thing I have the HLA log grapple.

Finally made it in and cutting.

That place took about 6 hours.

Down the road and to the next place.

Great pictures as always. Thanks!

Seems like it's the wrong time of the year to mow if you only do it once a year. Spring is here and everything is going to take off, and it will be overgrown again in a few months.

Never ceases to amaze me how little regard customers have for your equipment getting torn up by branches.

It’s still technically winter up here. Snow threat has just about ended.
These people that own & operate these Conservancy grounds are a “different” bunch for sure.

You see, they went to college to learn when to cut the stickers & dead goldenrod.

I just do what they tell me and they pay me….it ain’t my land.

 

[EddieWalker]

I understand. I have clients that pay me to do things to their houses that are so bad that I refuse to post pictures of the final results on FB. Most of what I do, I post on there, which leads to more work for me. But some people have such bad taste that it's better to just do what they want, and forget about it.

Some of the crap I get asked to cut is laughable.
20 acres of 7’ tall stickers on top of mud…..

I guess it invokes the old saying “I never promised you a rose garden” or something like that…..

Easy mowing unless they get mad about what the tractor does to the mud?

At least it's real easy to tell where you've cut . . .

But tough on equipment. Better not have any hoses or wires hanging down either.
