Figure 2. Mowing Pattern
For a professional touch in large open areas, try the
mowing pattern in Figure 2. Make two or three passes
counter-clockwise to discharge clippings away from
bordering objects. Then cut the lawn in half by mowing
down the center. Turn clockwise (to the right) at each
end of area over grass previously mowed.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward
whenever possible.
It is better to mow grass more often rather that too
short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather
and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Fol-
low local recommendations for the suitable cutting
height in your area.
Uneven Terrain
■ Do not operate on steep slopes.
■ Do not shop, start or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
■ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
■ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
The addition of rear tractor weight or liquid ballast in
rear tires will increase tractor stability.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp
drops to prevent “hanging up” the tractor and mower.
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough
terrain.
