Mowed a couple small orchards....

Anonymous-0 · Jul 25, 2011

And am cranky as he!!....... Windshield pushed out of the frame (luckily not broken), exhaust stack bent, canvas top ripped, nerves shot, and still gotta tedd........ Guess I gotta talk to the owners, seems time and money better spent on some temporary fence and let the horses do the mowing...... Tractor don't use much fuel, but the little bit of hay that comes off the places just don't compensate for the time. seat time is nice, but it's also gotta be enjoyable..........

Done now.........

Dave maybe you could talk them into a little
trimming with a chain saw if they want you to
continue haying it.

They don't care, they are retired and just mow them once a year about this time or a couple weeks later so they can pick up a few apples. They all have smaller tractors than mine with sickle mowers and all the time in the world.... They just found em a sucker this year............ Done most of it with the front loader up and just pushed/broke branches out of the way, but one place was extra nice and I let the loader down, didn't see an arm size branch hiding in the middle......

They loose a lot of apples with the tractor mowing, I'll try to convince them that they are better off with the horses...... Just some real hard headed folks......
