This just seems like a total waste of time and money.

Agreed but my FIL has done it this way for 40 years to keep it looking good around our place. I have suggested goat but nobody want to deal with goats around my house so awe choose to keep cutting the grass. A lot of time and gas but it is what it is.

The “we’ve always done it this way” mindset is largely lost on me especially when we’re talking about a ton of time and money.

Wild that a hay field that doesn’t cost a dime or any amount of time is not the choice he chooses to do VS spending $20,000+ on a new mower, fuel/upkeep and multiple hours every month for 40 years.
Would sure hate to know how many hours/dollars have been wasted on this 16acres

I will say a ridiculous amount of money and time. Since We are going to keep mowing it and spending time and money that way, I am looking for opinions on the best mower options to do it the fastest and hold up the longest. Thanks for all or the replies and advice!
