We mow in anything, provided the grass isn't too long. It's a pain and takes twice as long, but we get too far behind if we don't. I usually don't use the Z if it's raining.
After last summer's two-month drought, I'm looking forward to a little rain this season to keep things growing.

If its thundering, lightning or hailing, then no. If its just a light rain, then I'll do it to keep from getting to far behind.

Only in light rain. But if the lawn gets to wet the mowers will just tear the yard up so we pack it in for the day

If its light rain and theres no chance of damaging the ground then yes, but if its really coming down then we have to stop. Cleaning up sidewalks when its raining becomes a pain but you have to get it done!

Absolutely. To a point though. I actually don't pay my guys if they are not working due to rain. It sounds unfair but it works well. If you pay them they tend to want to wait in the truck for it to clear up (because they are getting paid). If you don't pay them if they are not working guess what, a little rain does not bother them. If it is lightning and thunder and a down pour, I make the decision and i usually pay them for that. I'm not going to risk there health to save a few bucks.

If it's a downpour, I'll check the radar on the cell phone. If there's a clearing for the next day's work, I'll start that instead.
If not, and it looks like it'll clear up shortly, I'll wait in the truck.
If it looks like it's going to be 2-3 hours, I'll head home.
If it's something that I can throw raingear on, and still be reasonably comfortable, I'm cutting.
I only do commercial places. Most of them will never notice if you cut in the rain or not, too much turf to notice.

How do most of you deal with wet grass in the tyre treads? Do you take a run down the road & clear it that way or do you have some tricks I don't know about? Also what about the mess when you turn the deck off - what do you do with this mess??
