Universal Laws of Mowing

Those N95 respirators do a great job if filtering out the dust

Theres rear discharge mowers now. Seems like a winning idea if the rest of the mower is well made.

#? It is a known fact that your lawn will grow an additional 4" overnight before you mow it the following day. Facts 101.

It's not how fast you mow but how well you mow fast.

Don't blow your glass clippings into the road. It looks trashy and can kill someone on a motorcycle. :]

I'm not a motorcycle person, but how does grass clipping endanger a cycle on the road way? I can understand on curves or at intersections, but on straight stretches? I see folks on a local FB crying about this daily, "such and such is mowing and blowing it on the road." It always seems to be on a straight road too.

If it get wet and a cycle comes along and hits their brake for some reason its like trying to ride on ice, it will do the same to a car if it is thick enough

The oil needs to be changed periodically and the engine should be warm before changing. So while it's warming, mow a little -a lot! The entire yard. Then plan on changing the oil. But when you're finished it's hot, you're tired and dirty. So plan on changing the oil next time! I gotta change that oil! LOL

You will run out of gas just before finishing.

The best thing I've found so far for mowing is to have an exacerbation of my congestive heart failure and while l was in the hospital my beautiful wife sold the zero turn mower, the John Deere garden tractor and the push mower.............wish she had done that years ago........

A lawn mower is like a flash lite ....... a storage container for dead batteries or a pump style oil can always empty or broken, a mower deck is an overly complex mechanical abortion to loose or break springs that are never in stock at the dealer and which are impossible to install easily, the blades are always dull, chipped or broken and the drive belt(s) are too damned expensive, always out of stock and on order from the supplier in the city of unobtainable and damn near impossible to reinstall.

And l not even going to address tires, electric clutches and main drive belts...........

I don't get it, either. I've been riding since I was 11 and that was never a concern.
