What is it about men and ride on lawnmowers? my OH insists that when we move we WILL need a ride on . we will have a fairly big front lawn and a side lawn which will be planted with fruit trees. the seller is leaving his big petrol mower (included in the house price). the rest of the land (2.5 acres ) is rough grass - as in a field. my OH thinks that he is going to need to mow the whole field and thinks he can get a ride on mower to make it easier ...i would rather get some livestock personally or cut for hay as I think he would soon get fed up with spending 4 hours mowing....... any suggestions?

Should do - need ramps to drive it on though.

GET SOME SHEEP OR GOATS, MAYBE EVEN A WEE DEXTER COW - Don't even think aout mowing it !

I watched in amusement last weekend as our next door neighbour started to his field with a lawn mower (approx 2 acres) after mowing for an hour he'd not even covered a tenth of it. LOL!  ::)
I've never understood people who move to the country, buy a couple of acres and then don't put animals on it ! Why would you want to do all that mowing - even with a ride on ?

But men & gadgets - that's just they way they are ! You've got my sympathies  ;)

it's the Future Mrs SB that wants the ride on mower. I don't mind sending her out to push the petrol one around for an hour or so!!!

If I could get off with animals instead of mowing I would - just too near the village and passers by - they'd probably get the RSPCG onto me ;D ;D ;D
