21incher,you need some rocks to mow around.
I do have 3  ;D the roller pushes the rest back down into the mud.

Well, no rain today, but the grass was still a little on the "wet" side!

I just got sick of looking at it and just started mowing!  I ran the throttle a little higher than I normally do, to aid in blowing the grass out of the deck!

Looks pretty good and it is finally mowed!

 3 rocks.  ::)  ??? 
This is behind the house.
Some rocks are 2 feet above the ground.



 

This is below the house. I am digging a few out.



 

Just for size. That is a yard stick.I think that is the rock on the right in the above picture.



 

Can I borrow that roller? :D

Just like money in the bank.  :D
Can't really tell by the picture,I bet there is over 100 rocks in this pile.



 

As my Father use to say,I could not run fast enough to give them away.
Not much of a market for rocks that size here. Send them my way,I'll give you 10%.  ;D

All  the grass at the Cabin got mowed during the past couple of days and the only mishap was when some debris wrapped around the blade spindle. 


 
This was nothing that some careful knife work and then a trip to the Health Dept. to get a Tetanus shot couldn't/didn't take care of.  Actually they now call it a Tdap vaccination.  Oh yes, and the bandage.   :-X

The pain is there to remind us not to do it again. Hope you heal quickly. Reminds me that I have not had one of those shots in about 5 years. :)

My wife is from Dominican Republic and they don't mow grass down there.
I don't think I could ever get her to mow the grass. I make it a habit to watch
for tractors and mowers every time I go to the DR. I have only seen one push
mower and it was on a back of a motorcycle.

coxy

do they make steel spindle housing for the mower decks these potmetal ones suck every time I hit something they brake the last time 2 days ago it was a soft ball put the blade through the deck shredded the belt bent the blade  I think I'm going to try to make something different for it they bang me 60 $ a pop for them I think they are making a 55$ profit cause they are junk

check on amazon. I bought 3 replacement spindles and blades for somewhere around $125.

The blade spindles are designed to be sacrificed, they prevent major breakage or injury and are a good money maker. The machine is a grass cutter, not a brush hog or scarifier. Quit trying to move rocks or stumps.

You mean I can't use it to mulch the sticks and debris in the yard? Why the heck did they sell me mulching blades?
