Default Winding down the summer mowing

I figure I shoot some pics of the 123 before it goes in to slumber for the winter.
When do you stop mowing?

It has been dry that the growing had been slowing. One more grass cut after three week slumber before the leaf blower comes out.

Nice looking 123 Lew!

I just cut grass with my 126 yesterday. I’ll keep going until it stops growing. Almost time to put the bagger back on my 1440 and start leaf cleanup.

I don't stop mowing until the leaves are up sometime in November.

I am already getting some machines ready for winter, though.

Just bought a Haban Blade for MY 2182 from Cub Cadet Used Parts. That just got a paint job, and I'll have it as one of my winter machines. But it will probably carry the Haban Blade year-round from now on anyway. For any dozing projects

It's really dry here in Southern Wi.,the leaves are starting to fall, so we mow,chop and pick up with a pull behind sweeper.I block off the deck with some chain links to help contain and chop the leaves.What doesn't get picked up,is good for the lawn.My 125 works hard,but that's the way it was designed. Hopefully middle of November, the old girl goes into hibernation.

Try mowing over the leaves backwards. I don't know why its better but its better. I haven't pulled a sweeper for years. Get a row of leaves going then hit it backwards.

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.
