I am doing a project for class at MSU and need your help. I am wondering how many guys have lawns that cause you to slow down or not mow as fast as normal. Thanks for any help.

Yeah...I think everybody has those. They don't look too bad as first glance, but wow. I've been thrown off the sulkey multiple times.

a few for me, but what kills me more than roughness is random trees in the lawn! i have a few lawns with about 15 trees in the middle of the lawns, it takes so much time to trim, and mow around them

I have a few that are terrible, came completely off the seat of my rider the other day. I second that on the random trees, totally messes up stripes.

I have one that the guy likes to drive in the same spot with his 4 wheeler but you can't tell when the grass is grown up. Needless to say its rutted but it's worse in certain areas. I actually came off the seat so hard/high that engine started to cut out before I came back down. I'm pretty sure I have mastered the bad spots where I have to take it easy. Nothing is worse than coming off the seat...

All 70 some of my lawns are like fairways. smooth and wide open. I run both dixies wide open all day every day. Biggest bump I hit is a pile of dog dung. Sharp blades and a clean deck and I am cutting at 10-12 mph all day.
Naww, that would be too easy, the ppl hallin a$$ over the bumps pry dont take care of their equipment.

i have 2 but i get the deere off the trailer and mow as fast as i would because that deere has been through heck and back and nothing has gone wrong with it it cuts great. i take alot better care of it than the last person. i am very perticular about maintaning stuff. the previous owner shot it because it wouldnt start(he lived in the woods) thats how i got it for $20 bucks. the problem was that the switch had gone bad for the key
