I've been out getting my burn piles going again. And picking up rocks. I've come up with a plan:) I had to give up mowing out there last year because I hit rocks stuck in the ground two times and bent mower blades. My mower is just 2 years old and I didn't want to risk ruining it completly.
That's one reason I decided this winter I needed to really work on the pasture. It looks/grows so much better if I mow occasionaly, But I DON'T want to pull any more rocks up, but they are hard to see from the mower. There are also places that no matter what I do, I can't take the mower into them. So I am throwing all the small loose rocks into those areas. Then I'm going to get some bright green paint (that will blend with the grass kind of:), paint the top of the rocks the mower can't go over, and outline the areas I shouldn't go in. I can spray those larger areas with diesel too, to keep the weeds and grass from growing so tall, making the pasture look bad.
Probably alot of people could just remember where not to go but it's really hard on a mower, expecially in a large area you can mow, but there is one or two rocks sticking up just high enough that the mower doesn't clear them.

You sound like a woman with a plan! I don't know about the green paint though. The blaze orange would make them easier to spot with the mower.
Careful, EPA be after you! :O
I think, I would use Roundup or Preen.
I broke the housing on ours the last trip to the lake. I had it at the highest too. Then I broke Eddies truck.
