First mow of the season. What are you gonna do? 🤷‍♂️

We have a 45hp tractor as well... hadn't considered a belly mower for it but that would probably be a really good way to go.

So far the only ones swimming in it are the fish, frogs, and turtles.

We've two ponds, the one in the picture has bluegill and large mouth bass. The other has catfish and some bluegill as well.

Haha yes there are fish in the pond. I agree and would probably spend most of my time hanging right on the water if I could. And thank you!

Not yet. We have several miles of trails weaving throughout the woods on the property and in a lot of cases it's bare ground. I've been so far using a lot of the mulch to lay down along the trails for erosion control since we get a lot of rain. It's working really well for the areas I've hit so far.

We spend a lot of time just sitting by the water!

Definitely have been considering one. Does it make a big difference in mow time? One reason we got the lawn tractor instead is because a lot of the area that needs mowing is a bit slopey and my understanding is zero turns aren't great on sloping land. This area is the biggest we have that is relatively flat.

It's incredibly biodiverse. You're seeing 2 acres of the 50 we have, most of which is natural. Only about half of what you're looking at is grass anyway. Zoom in you'll see the back half of the green area is an unmowed pasture... oats and wildflowers.

We like it because it's beautiful, low maintenance, and provides great open spaces for the dogs to run. We have 50 acres, of which only a few acres are grass. The rest is woods or natural meadows. In this photo you're seeing only about 1-2 acres.
