It is not the best idea. It tends to squish the grass, leave ruts all over the place, large amounts of grass stick under the deck and then they creat a grass pie on the ground. It is true that it isn't good.


I've never heard of an YBravo. Is it just a Canadian brand? How well do they operate?? Pros and cons??

Ybravo is a rather new company based in the U.S.

The mower cuts very well and performs good. On 2nd speed it is a monster. PM me for more info. I know this mower inside out and own the 21" with the Kawi motor.

Not mowing in the rain but playing in it.

This is a old rally.
Runs about 40 mph and lots of fun in the mud

That is cool. I have an old Murray mower out in my "tractor junkyard", and it looks suitable for a muddin mower.

Just have to find time, I have too many things to do. This weekend I'm haying.

Got to my first yard and my dang mower is to wet to start. Guess I will use the blower to try and dry it out.

Many years ago I saw someone sliding down a really wet hill on a Craftsman II tractor, 16/44, the were holding on to it for dear life.

I've never heard of a mower being too wet to start! Did water get into the intake? The only other thing I can think of would be the magneto shorting out.

I did that once on a Dixon Z-turn! Pulling back on the handles with wheels going full speed in reverse while careening forward down the hillside. I looked like Tom Burlinson in the Man From Snowy River! :eek:
