[Shop-talk] Stand-on mowers?

[Elton E. (Tony) Clark]

*I guess I'm a cheap patient person but I deal with 100 x 200 foot lot (1/2
acre) when it gets out of hand and 2 feet high just by raising the cutting
height to the top and grinding around in low gear taking a half swath when
it's REALLY heavy.  Use the chute instead of the bag and throw the cut
material to the outside.  After a few days of drying* * time, go back over
to shred the clippings.  I use a LawnBoy 12 hp rider with a single blade.
Takes about an hour and I use the cup holder for a Bud.*
*Tony*
