I'm shot....


Recommended Posts

As in the DR mower kicked my butt today...out of all the jobs I have the summer time weed trimming is the absolute worst...there is so very much of it to do a hand held kills my back and arms. The DR zips through on wheels but it weighs 60#s and we have hundreds of yards in banks culverts to do. pushing it and pulling it works every thing ..Neck,shoulders,arms and legs...Legs so when I push it down a bank,I don't go with it...lol Chef salad for dinner to night!

Whats your least favorite summer job?

My ex an I had a DR on our place...It is a good tool, but you are spot on about it being a workout to run the damn thing..

I'm heading out in a few minutes to weed whack my .20 acre lot...............Wife and son cut the lawn last night so it's the least I can do. 

 

LEAST favorite, I can't say............one thing I'll say is that I have NO favorite summer jobs. :)

Trimming hedges, push mowing the ditch out front and weed whacking. Those are my least favorite. But it looks so nice when they are done. So it's worth it!

It took a long time, but I finally graduated to driving the tractor and letting the young guy's put the hay in the barn.

Weed whacking is a PITA!Least favorite is stacking hay in the barn.

 

Man i did that at a farm from around age 12 to 16ish. Boy was i in shape, sadly i enjoyed it, i would blow hay boogers for days. I got to drive trucks around the fields picking up loose bales. Good memories for me. I'm sure ill have my son do the same thing in about 6 yrs.

weed whacking is definitely a pain.  I always end up hosing myself off just because it's caked onto my pant legs and shoes.  by far the worst is haying or picking rocks on the farm.  cows are gone.  everything possible been hay fields.  all square bales to sell and handle by hand into the barn or semi-truck or both.  everything seeded down now so not much for rock picking.  not living on farm and readily available and so I don't do as much now.  work in an office now so when haying gladly pick up gloves.  still weigh the same too but pants have gone up a couple sizes and lost a set of abs.  haying is even worse now. lol
