First mow of 2018
 

This winter has been insane. Set a record for our longest streak of below freezing temps, something like 10 days. Three weeks later we got 11 inches of snow. Four weeks after that we have several consecutive days in the upper 70's. The grass/chickweed/onions over at my dad's house was getting way tall and actually needed mowing--as in taller than we let the grass get. I had to work yesterday so he snuck out and fired up the 2072 and had at it. Think he mowed for 2 hrs---quite remarkable considering how bad his health has been the past few months. He even rode up to my house and offered to mow my yard, I said sure (it didn't really need it but he needed something to do other than stare at the walls). I grabbed the 1811 and got in about 10 minutes worth of cutting. Its always a good day when your lawnmowers sit for 3-4 months untouched and fire right up!

So far this year I've been lucky, no plow-able snow. 2264 fired right up after sitting since November. Only had to move it out of the way. Grass is getting green so it may not be long. :beerchug:

Won't be long before we'll be mowing. Have to get Jenn's 2130 going, it's being a pain in the butt...lol.

Nice to see your Dad mowing the grass, still dormant here though.

:bigeyes: Mowing lawn already?? Good grief!!! No snow on the ground here right now. Hope we don't have to mow before April 10.

He's probably been down with cabin fever and riding a cub is a great cure for it. Although, I am in no hurry to start mowing again. Too many irons in the fire. Here's to your dad for gettin' it done!:beerchug:

Gonna be mid June before my plays drys enough to mow or even get on the lawn

Yep, got lots of standing water here too. I THINK....the ground is still frozen, but haven't checked in a while. Still some snow piles in places. I enjoy mowing.

10 days below freezing? How did you survive? :biggrin2:
I’ve still got 6 ft drifts in my yard!!
Glad somebody is mowing though, gives me hope.:beerchug:

First mowing
 

The grass is turning green and starting to grow. Neighbors lawn has some clumps of grass that need cut now. Mine will need cut next week or the week after, depending on the weather. Hardly any snow so far this year. A couple of inches two different times. I am using a Simplicity Broadmoor for grass cutting duty. Put new bearings on a deck shaft today, sharpened the blades and got tractor and deck greased. Ready to go with the rider. Now have to get the walk behind ready. Have a great day.
