  • My wife told me that her friend needed help mowing a few sections of her property. When I showed up to look at it, the grass was taller than me in some areas! I decided to tackle the project with my Toro Grandstand Multiforce, even though a Ventrac Toughcut would be ideal for something like this. I made it through the day; however, I ended up getting stuck in one particular area. I used my truck to pull myself out and finish the rest of the mowing. I think it turned out great. She was very thankful and surprised at how well the mower cut everything down into such fine mulch.

    As a young man I worked a nature reserve in Pennsylvania. When we were expanding our lawn areas I would use a scythe to cut down vegetation like this…then use a Gravely walk behind tractor mower to finish off the job. That was quite the workout…but I enjoyed every bit of it.

    31:01 It appears to be a Lysichiton, which is an aquatic plant that tends to grow around pond edges or other damp areas and flower in the Spring. They grow in clumps and are highly invasive, which is why you see them all over. 😊
