I did some more reading, and the curved snath is usually heavier (my old 
curved one certainly is), and didn't seem to have any other advantage.

Lawns need to be mowed from early May to September/October.  Lawns here are 
bluegrass, and that grows better during cool weather. Right now my neighbor 
mows his lawn continuously (he has 10 acres of lawn) to keep it looking 
perfect. Every day he's out there mowing one section or another.

I just cut my first cutting of hay. Real hay fields won't be cut for another 
couple of weeks, but I needed to clear certain areas. We can sometimes get 
three cuttings of hay if the weather works out; early June, August, and 
maybe one in October.
