Default My first attempt.

At some fancy mowing. Doesn't look to bad considering the grass was about 8" tall.

Looks good to me.
I tried striping, and when I realized that it took me way too much time I decided that it wasn't worth it.

Looks good to me Tim. The grass has been growing fast down here this year I guess because it rains about every other day.

First attempt at what?
How do/did you normally cut grass? So, what was this, back and forth? Looks good, but just asking...

I normally just start on the outside and mow in a square and work my way in, I was bored and figured I'd try something new. I do agree that it took longer and definitely used more gas.

I must be a "fancy" mower then. I never mow in a square. I always pick a direction and mow the entire yard that direction. Even if it means backing up and going forward over and over to do a small area. I don't care how much gas it takes. It's just a lawn mower it doesn't burn that much gas. Even if it takes an extra gallon, wooptie doo. $2 of my money gone for a nice looking yard.

That looks nice! You should do it that way every time! ...... Only, a different direction each time.

I may attempt the whole yard next time, this part of the yard only has two trees to work around but the rest of the yard is full of man made obstacles.

Yup, I am with J-Mech! I always mow diagonal to the house and switch it up week to week.

I just cut it in what ever pattern it turns out to be. My lawn doesn't lend it's self to fancy.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
