I'd say around 2.5-3 myself. I cut a little slower than some. My son thinks the control arms should be pushed forward with a little oomph to make sure it's top speed. I'm more of a 3/4 speed guy. It's not a race...lol
Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes it's a minor pain (especially mid summer when dry) but I always have my earbuds in and whatever flavor of music I'm in the mood for at the time.

On the other hand, I can spend countless hours on the tractor and enjoy every minute. š
Bushhogging and mowing are definitely not the same....... Yes, I may try bluetoothing some bushhog sounds to my earbuds and pretend I'm cutting a shooting lane

At the camp, we put filter cloth down then rocked the 40x80' area. No more tall wet grass when you get there or walking from the house to the barn. Just got to spray it a couple times a year due to seeds that fall off of bikes and equipment.

Around 3.5 acres of cutting for me. Riding a 60" zero turn and weeding takes 3.5 hours

Plant 2 acres of it in ball clover and don't mow it. Tell her it's to help pollinators. It would be, and she'd probably like that. Wildflowers would be nice but they are expensive.

Mowing is the biggest waste of a man's time there is. . I've never understood why folks purposely set a house up with acres and acres of grass to mow.......... Hence the reason I have such big gardens. I HATE mowing grass but I love eating so....

Mowing is the biggest waste of a man's time there is. . I've never understood why folks purposely set a house up with acres and acres of grass to mow.......... 68 acres and I keep about 20 of it mowed. I like living in the sticks and having a place to run a tractor on. It is therapeutic at times. Just me and Jesus in the sunshine and a diesel humming along. A good time to reflect on life. I could not live in a city on a tiny yard. I like to be able to walk outside and pee.

About two hours for my place 4 acres this is accurate, but then you have weedeating, roundup, gassing up, picking up things, blowing grass. it ends up taking about a half day every week or two. "you gotta have a love for it, or it aint worth it"

Been cutting 14 for eight years ⦠about to convert about 10 to trees; gonna love not having as much to mow however the trees will provide their own issues as well.
