Oh, I see. I thought 10 acres was acting as your LAWN at the new place! ;)

The 3.28 acres is ALL lawn at the new place. Currently mowing with a non-zero turn x324 JD mower which is an arm workout! It also has a 48” deck rather than a 60” & we just putt putt along to get it done. You have to keep your foot on the ‘forward’ pedal the whole time which is tiresome ... if you take your foot off, it stops. This mower has 4-wheel turn so it does get around in some tight places near the patio - I will have to use it for trimming. It also can pull a cart & I did get a cart up there last trip.

Mowed the 10 ‘flatland’ acres the last 2 days with Clyde the Glide, zero-turn extraordinaire and it was great to be on that mower. It has a 60” deck & unfortunately, my utility trailer is 5’ so I cannot get Clyde on it; otherwise, I would trailer Clyde between the two places. It takes me 2.5 hours to cut the back part of the new property up to the house on the x324 ... if I had Clyde, I’m guessing an hour to an hour & a half. Sigh. Clyde will probably make the trip on my brother’s trailer after mowing season ends this fall. By then, I should have mom living in the new house full time so the bro will be saddled with keeping the old place mowed down to a decent level until the place is sold since I won’t be coming back very often.
