Grass cutting...too wet still for any of you?

[Mooner]

Well, I've just been itching to get some seat time on the Cubs, doing anything that doesn't involve snow.
But, here in northeast Ohio it's been raining just about every day and it's too stinking wet to get out and do anything at all. It didn't rain today, so I jumped on the 1000 to give the lawn a much-needed cutting. No dice. I only made a few passes and the turf tires started to slip so I headed for the barn and parked it. At least I got to hear it run...heck, I even started the 149 just to get a fix.
Can any of you feel my pain??

been getting a lot of rain here too. Last 2 days were dry , so today I got to mow. The grass is thicker and growing faster than I remember last year. Starting to get out of hand . I mow my neighbor's yard too. It has 3 springs in it, so its always mucky. Been scared to go over it and get stuck with my turfs. I hoped to get some ags this year, but didn't pan out. Hope you get on the seat soon!

I was able to make a maiden cut with the 1450 last week, but ended up getting the thing stuck bad in a soft spot. We are under flood warnings here and have been getting hammered with rain. We have gotten over an inch just in the last 24 hours. I have had enough, and that was last week. I'm sick of waiting for the showers to stop. I was going to haul in a load of scrap iron today to make a little extra cash but it poured all day. Hoping I can run it sometime tomorrow.

Sorry to rub it in, but it's nice and dry here. Haven't started mowing yet, but I have other ways of getting my cub fix lol. I took a feeder chain and a couple 2x4's and made a drag, do tge driveway every couple days lol. Also am hauling out load after load of timber from my brother and his paintball field construction. All in al I'm having fun and hope it warms up and drys out for you!!!!

Ive had some good luck and mowed my yard and several others at least three times now. All this rain and other strom related weather has realy got the grass growing here. Now if only we can get some streaches of rain free days so i can mow it all again but thankful for the seat time Im getting! wont be long till i mow the hay field next door, its already reaching the top of the hood on my 1811 . But i agree, wet yards suck even with ag tires!

I finally got my deck on the 127 for the first time since i have owned it and tryed it in the wet morning grass and it seemed to do fine ! It did not bog down like my craftsman with the 12hp in it. I just need to level the deck now.

Sorry to hear about all the rain y'all keep getting. I've been mowing weekly for over a month now. Hope it drys out soon!

Wettest April on record,
monsoon season for sure!
We are all wanting to get on with planting crops, but sitting on our hands.
At least I don't have to cut grass, as I can't even walk on it.
But the ducks & geese are enjoying it.

2 inches in two days, I missed the bad stuff early this morning. Bretty good damage 45 minutes south of Me and 6 to 8 inches of rain last night 70 miles west of here. Bet the creeks are full this morning!! There is more in Ark/ Miss coming this way so a break for a few hours and then back into the rough stuff. The really bad stuff is suppossed to be an hour south of me, but still a good chance here, hopr the sun doesn't pop out, that always makes it worse. I have mowed MIL and my yard 3 times and needs it now, mowed MIL the last time in a drizzle and even with the U deck with no baffles it looked good.

The sun is already out, that's great, nothing like a little/lot of sun to fire up those thunderstorms!
