Lots Faster!


Today was trial mowing day at the Tower House. My tractor came with an old four foot bushhog, so although someday I would like to get a 5 foot finish mower I just used what I had. Surprisingly, the bushhog did a pretty good job. The finished product is nothing you'd want Tiger Woods putting on, but it wasn't too tufty and I only dug furrows in the ground with the bushhog box where I had to turn on a slope.
I wanted a tractor mostly to speed up the mowing of my four acres and, sure enough, I now can cut the wide-open spaces about three times faster than with my riding mower. Also, having my own tractor is really, really cool.
