So, while you are going back and forth, back and forth (or round and round and round), what are you thinking about? Do you sing? Plan your day? Admire the green grass? My wife sings. I just sort of zone out.

My tractor and my mower both have cabs so I either listen to tunes on the stereos or chat on the phone, just depends on what is happening those days... The actual mowing takes almost no concentration, so there is plenty of time to do other things... :smile:KennyV

I used to sing while I mowed but I have close nieghbors so I stopped for fear that I'd be heard.:wink:

I'm busy trying to determine what all the strange knocks and noises are.:laughing:

I know a farmer that reads while his GPS system does the farming.:biggrin:

I usually listen to music on my mp3 player. Sometimes I sing along, other times I don't. I've also been known to carry my cell phone with me, so when it rings, I shut the mower down and answer. It might be somebody important :wink: .

I decide what I am gong to do after I finish mowing and how I want to do it.

HI Andyman

I know there is nothing to do or worry about it boring, but you should be watching your surrounding just in case something did happen like a child just ran out in front of you .What if your mower throw a rock and it hit someone, if you are doing all those other things you would not ever know it to help them if they needed it. Just to be ready for a quick decision if it needs to be attend to. Something to think about when you are doing that same old boring mowing job some times thing happen that's why they are called accidents.::smile:

I just think about things that I haven't had time to think about otherwise. Pushing the mower gets my heart rate up and that's good for the thought process.:thumbsup:

And, of course, I enjoy the great outdoors.

Stay focused on the task at hand while enjoying some tunes as well. Still, accidents happen by inappropriate multitasking, so I believe in focusing.

I am guilty of listening to music but I usually only do that when I am alone and not loud enough to be completely cut off from the world. I also tend to daydream about what I want to do with my nice garden.

I have been known to create a mental grocery list while mowing. I'm also assessing the status of my various plants and flowers and sizing up the appearance of the yard as a whole.

I generally listen to music on my Ipod and zone out. It's one of the only places where there are no kids yakking at me constantly :laughing:.

I generally listen to my iPod with some sound deadening headphones. Nothing gets you a better cut lawn than Speed Metal! ha ha

I used to listen to music but instances of poor mowing made me disregard that. I like to hum while at it but either way, mowing should be exciting.

If not listening to music, simply let my mind drift and think about many other things besides mowing. I have realized that some of the nicest thoughts stream through my mind at such a juncture.

I some times Sing to myself as I am cutting grass and other times I just enjoy listing to my Deere's Yanmar Diesels purring as the tractor goes back and forward on the lawn. I have often thought of writting my name in grass with my Deere X744 AWS, but the customers I cut grass for would not appreciate that.

I think about how much I hate mowing over dog excrement

I generally listen to low music through sound deadening headphones and enjoy the serenity. I like the sound of low displacement 4 and 2 stroke engines set to music. The game of adjustment to keep the lines dead straight is enough to keep my mind actively on target but loose enough to wander.

Plug in my Ipod and enjoy the ride.:thumbsup:

I spend my mowing time to think about things it's the only time some one is not talking to me

I pay very close attention to details while i mow. The blond one, the redhead one, the dark haired one. All of them.

I work at a mower retailer, Mowers Direct, and when I'm mowing all I do is think about how I should have a better lawn mower.

I wouldn't listen to music; i killed some of my hearing from listening to music while I mow.

I smoke a cigar and hope the cute young lady next door is outside.

Smoke a cigarette, listen to music and enjoy the lovely ladies that walk past my way!!!

I mow my acreage with a '88 John Deere 430 diesel that I completely restored some years ago. I simply take pride in running my "old tractor" that never quits while my neighbors buy cheap mowers every other year or so because the newer stuff just doesn't last like the old stuff does.
I also love to be outdoors where I sometimes have to wait for deer or turkeys to cross so I can continue on my way.
