YES it is NUTS and we've had the same situation here (near Nashville, TN) all this past week. Even when it's not raining... the ground is so saturated that my belt driven Metro wouldn't even go straight... it just kept turning left!!! So frustrating! And, with the price of gas... what are we to do? We can't afford to sit it out at home in case it stops, and we can't afford to drive to customers house... just to end up driving back home in case it doesn't stop.

I have 9 and i cut them all on Wednsday to beat the rain. I know if i waited until after all this rain it would half way up to my knee. Plus 2 of them have a hill that likes to be cut when dry out.

I'm with you. I cut 5 yesterday with the rain. Man it was a PITA. Still have 4 more to go. I'm glad I did 4 on Wednesday though...

rain predicted for 10 days. i will cut the yards that have good drainage and no slopes, other than that they will sit. Noa, get your ark ready!
