Old Man Mower

Cut the grass for the first time yesterday.

Not bad considering there was four inches of snow on the ground twelve days ago.

And I didn't cheat by using the brush hog on New Holland Boomer.  Besides it is still way too squishy to use a large tractor without damaging the turf.

Last winter the Frau and I purchased a proper riding lawn tractor.  A Sears Craftsman rider with a big Briggs and Stratton engine and a hydrostatic transmission.

It's going to  take some time to figure-out an efficient mowing pattern but I now feel like a proper old guy.

The walk-behind mower is now relegated to finish duty.
