one of the many uses of duck tape

For the price of all those push mowers, I could buy a nice little riding mower and have more fun.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

By the time he gets the last one started, the first will be out of gas.

Great cutting width but cornering stinks!

Only works for rectangular lawns and no trees.

I think he’s been doing too much grass…

There’s a guy around here who—no kidding—cuts his lawn by towing five push mowers behind a tractor.

Or he could do what we did last year: ditch the power mower and buy a good-quality reel mower. No more gas to store or cords to run over, it pushes as easily as our former electric, and it’s quieter and neater.

Or he could do what we do—hire someone to mow our acre lot.

The ingenuity of man never ceases to amaze me.

Duct tape fixes everything

There will be an unmowed strip between them or I’d have done this already.

i think Red Green beat him to it…

Now that’s a great idea!
