Walk behind Mow Faster

[lizard]

I used full safety gear over the weekend while cutting, splitting and stacking wood -- still managed to mash my finger.

The Pain and suffering over a Finger getting mashed is horrific..........you just wonder if it could have been worse and lose a finger.
Gloves do not protect you from steel blades...........it happens in a split second...........and your regret your ever saw a mower.

Do you walk or run or sit when you are mowing?

I walk briskly. Mowing can be good exercise -- it's a shame to sit on a mower when you could be walking.

I am very fit, can go 7 hours without a stop..............really good when you get to this stage.........nothing that you cannot do.........good feeling when you are so healthy.:smile:

No, I hadn't heard of it, but then I'm not from West Australia. This is yet another indication of how "fussy" West Australians can be about their lawns.:biggrin:

I did a Bing search and all of the results on the first page were from West Australian companies.

Here is a website that describes the process. The equipment looks pretty cool -- made by Dwyer & Felton.

The lawns over here are high maintence.......which is good as people are in love with their Green patch..........so it has to look like a Bowling green.........thats the pride of West Australians.

Question about the West Australian lawns: is it usually necessary to grade the area so that it's perfectly level? If you're cutting to just 2mm to 5mm then it seems crucial to get rid of any humps -- even small ones.
