Had to be a brush hog mowing high grass/weeds. Driver would not have seen her if it was a large tractor.

Of course, it was a sizeable cutting rig. The author makes it seem as if it was a riding lawnmower. I have a John Deere cutter and a 50-hp tractor that will destroy three-inch trees in my path. Since the property was being sold, the likely explanation is that the overgrown land was being cleared for sale. It had to have been an awful traumatizing event for the tractor operator. I chopped up a nesting wild turkey a while back and I can remember it to this day.

Depending upon how big the mower was, you wouldn’t see her in the grass.

My pull behind Woods mower is 12 ft wide. They make fold out bat wing pull behind mowers that are 42 foot wide.(FX-742 ROTARY CUTTER) You cannot see everything.

Sounds like passed out on drugs.

Not necessarily. As a former PW Director, we had a 18ft wide reel mower and the path of the tractor was 9 feet wide and each pass was offset by 9 feet.

How do you sleep through the racket a tractor and brush hog make?
