Pete, agreed, picking a spot in the distance and not taking your eye off it is the key. I used to look down at my tracks only, but now I concentrate on a knot or discoloration between fence pickets to determine my lines. I occasionally will glance down, but for the most part, my head is straight up looking off in the distance. I have 11,000 sq ft.

On one part of my yard that has several trees I use my 22 inch walk behind. I make my stripes perfectly straight through all of the tree rings and across a ditch with a different slope on either side. You really learn to make straight lines mowing across a ditch at a diagonal. No one can figure out how I do it🤣

I normally mow with my Toro zero turn. Its a residential model so lighter weight than the commercial mowers BUT still pretty heavy especially when I am riding on it since I am 6'6" and 270lbs. I hate the ruts it can cause if I am not careful to mow on dry days and always vary my path. up/down, then left/right, then diagonal one way then the other. I also work in a 'circular' pattern where I just start at the outside and mow clockwise (next time counter clockwise)until I mow the center. I wanted to get a lighter mower and my brother in law was giving away a Toro Turfmaster commercial 30inch push mower. I love it. Agree i have to pay close attention to keep straight lines though. I'm still getting used to it. And the turfmaster has straight wheels on front. Wish it had casters like the snapper version of that mower (SW15 is the model).

Pete, you mentioned that you finish up the uncut grass by going around the edges at the end with the mower to clean up. I have a yard with sculptured natural areas and that’s what I do.

I change up the stripe direction every cut but I need to follow the contours for the final lap. Any suggestions?

The assembly of the lawn mower could be done without any problems kzbin.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend I just puzzled something about the red strange “key”. However, it quickly turned out that this creates a kind of contact bridge between battery packs and lawn mowers. An additional backup as a father of a 1 year old nephew is great!! :-)
