 Me to. I've also been known to cut my lawn every 3 or 4 day. I doesn't need it, but I NEVER let my lawn get high enough that it forces me to cut it.It makes everyone think I'm a busy beaver. What I'm really doing is driving around & enjoying a GOOD CIGAR.  Nik,

I mow 2-3 stipes around the perimeter and discharge the clippings to the inside to be cut again. Mowing in a different pattern every week helps to minimize ruts in the yard and gives it a nice look when finished. I really enjoy the look of my yard after doing a diamond pattern. Cutting a diagonal one week and the oppisite the next acheives this pattern. I use about 3/4 of the 42" deck to allow for an overlap cut to get any stray grass or clipping left behind from the previous pass.

So far the consensus is to line the tire up in the previous tire and loose a part of the width. I have been trying both ways and so far can't really tell which way is different. I stripe the front back and forth like a zero turn, takes a lot longer but it's small. The back has been getting the two rounds in and the rest out, but will be trying the diamond next cut.

Yes we are in to lawn cutting season. It has begun in NWPA too. Lots of rain.
I use the CUB 127 with 42 inch deck plus two 22 inch tag mowers ganged to the left and staggered back. This allows me to cut the 3 acres in just under 2 hours. I have to stop and fill the small mowers once. My lawn is very rough and the small mowers allow lots of movement to follow the undulating contours  So I get approx 80 inches of cut width, per pass. Makes things move along quicker in the open areas and mows around and under trees well. You do have to watch and be aware that your dragging other mowers along with you. This cut my mowing time down from about 6 hours. Chris

CC1450,
I will try to snap some shots next time I get it set up. And post them My uncle convinced me this was the way to go and I have gone through many small push mowers as this is not easy on them. One year I even went and bought two brand new (low cost) mowers for $150 each. Those are long gone too. I try to find older mowers that have broken handles. This makes mowing a lot easier on the CUB too. Also I pull these through the ditch at the road and eliminated 70% of my weed whacking for the year. Chris

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.
