...yes it's real.


Wow. I'm still trying to figure out how that's possible (without looking it up of course!). Don't help!

I just hope you don't treat your passengers the same way. [Wink]

Push mowers now have a 'safety feature' they did not have years ago. In newer mowers the grass exhaust chute is partially blocked by a piece of metal. This results in frequent clogging and engine overload in high or wet grass. The solution is to take a hacksaw and simply cut the blockage away to clear the chute. Dramatically improves performance of the mower, since the grass can actually escape via the now-clear chute.

Also, if battling extremely high grass, simply hold the mower so the front of the mower is a foot off the ground for the first pass. BLows grass everywhere instead of clogging. Then back up and make a second pass normally. Much more efficient than slowly churning through it.
