The grass was knee height. Even at the highest setting, my mower struggled. Kept dying on me. In the end I had to angle it upwards to get the first few inches off. Took me 2 hours to do what was a relatively small backyard. I literally had to empty the mower every one strip [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24].
Why people don't own a 2 handed scythe is beyond me, sharpened and used properly you can cut acreage with em, they really are so easy to use, just not sure if you can still buy them, be great on small jobs and as quick as a struggling mower!.....
