Work on the car has slowed way down as due to the excessive rain, the pastures are growing like crazy and this thing and two others are keeping me pretty busy trying to keep them under control. PJ

 
Yeah, it cuts a 15 foot swath Basil, but it still takes me from sunrise to sunset to do the fields. Then I have to take a smaller 6 foot mower to trim around all the fences, another day shot. I really can't complain, I just want to work on my car! :encouragement: :smile: PJ
 
Paul - after mowing, do you bale for hay?
 
I'm by no means a farmer but I'm just wondering why you mow pastures. In this neck of the woods it grows then gets cut and baled for hay.

No Tom, the soil is too poor and grows a lot of musk thistle, among other things, you don't want that in their food! You need to feed horses good clean hay, I can't grow it. They eat the young grass and that's fine, but the hay comes from Kansas. It's hard to imagine what some/most people bale up around here and feed their animals. By keeping the pastures cut more young tender grass germinates. The pasture grass is not cut below 5 to 6 inches.
