I recall that you were looking for a curved snath, so what made you
change your mind?
Also, what is your 'mowing season'?
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.
