    Thanks Stripes, I don't mind experimenting on stuff like that, it's a good way to learn. 18 months ago I'd never even cut a single hedge or even dreamed of doing anything technical with them.

    Thanks Bluey, total free hand with a pair of hedging shears. A graffiti artist I used to know said to me once "you always see it just before you paint it" and I believe him. I took a good look at it and sort of pictured where I wanted it to go and where it would look best from and stood there till I could see where it was meant to go. If only I'd seen it a bit neater and the numbers shaped better and on the same line, but I'll get them there.

    I'm practicing my stripes, not quite as good as yours Stripes but gotta start somewhere. Grassman177 this is a kikuyu lawn well about 80% and 20% crap cut on 7th lowest setting with a 196.

    looks like a spreading grass!!!!! you can tell even in pictures a lawn that is a spreader!!

    nice and short, and what is a 196? a honda reel mower(cylinder)?

    Two ducks... 22 is the street number.

    Yeah it's a spreader alright, no sh1t this stuff will grow up the earth of a power pole and under bricks and come out the other side.

    196 is a honda rotary mower!

    Im cutting the first pic at 18mm once or twice a week. The second pic is cut way to high, its cut weekly, but the client insists on watering flat out so i cant get it down before it grows. Time for some growth retardent!

    yep ,
    are we too slow , or the people here paying too much you think ?
    its not just mowing
    whipper snip around the house and sheds and trees pathways and drive ways and blow the same areas if needed
    we have to dodge a lot of irrigation lines
    small ride on for tight work under trees in the orchard , big ride on knocks off the bigger areas

    $35 p/h is what we charge for each operator
    good / bad / or is this ugly for us
