grass cutting (getting old)

[PA DETAILER]

i know its spring, but wow. this is getting old! :doh: 4 cuts in less than 2 weeks. cut it tuesday morning. needed it again today. takes me about 1.5 hours with trimming. no riding mower here. oh well. good exercise anyway.

Lol thats rough man. I hate cutting the grass anytime, much less twice a week. If I were you, I would offer some kid in the neighborhood $10 to come by twice a week and do it for me. If they get noticed by neighbors they could start a little neighborhood business and make decent money.

$10 is a joke. It would be much more than that..at least here.

I only cut mine once a week.

It worked for me. Some kid, probably 14 years old, in the neighborhood was just trying to make a few bucks walking around asking if he could cut peoples yards. Now every sunday morning he mows my yard along with the 6 other yards in a row. He makes a quick 70 bucks and is happy with it. He just rides his dad's mower over from the next street and knocks them out in 20 minutes a piece. Mind you, in my neighborhood the lots are about 1/4 acre or less. I'm pretty sure he does about 20 or so yards every sunday and 200 bucks is a huge amount for a 14 year old.

Wow, he's almost working for free!

Be happy it's dry enough to cut. Between the monsoons and megathunderstorms and tons of standing water it'll take a week of dry weather to be able to do anything. I've only been able to knock it down twice. Long enough now that I'll probably have to cut high and do it twice and either bag it or bale it. Great fun with an acre and a half.

With a rural setting 500 ft back in the woods at least I'm not too concerned with curb-appeal. :D

With memories of the previous 2010-2011 seemingly unending winter season still lingering, I personally would rather be mowing grass in the warmth that spring and summer brings than having the ardous tasks of shoveling & snow-blowing in the freezing cold of the winter months. :)

Get yourself one of these. You will never mow again!

The cut throat guys around here are doing them for 15 bucks a cut. I don't see how they are making money but hey to each their own.

Could getcha a nice steer! Mow and fertilize at the same time!!! :props:

Man, I feel your pain!!

My grass is green, green, green, and it grows and grows, and grows this time of year. I cut mine every 5 days or so and it does get OLD.....:dunno:
