I don't bother with hearing protection when I mow the lawn. Instead, I
use one of these...

I could probably finish my lawn in 10-12 hours with that. G

Reel mowers do a nice job, though. They're the standard golf course
machine when ganged together.

Yes, well, we cut something like 1-1/2 acres. No thanks.

Given a choice, I wouldn't cut anything other than the pieces around my shop
and in front of the house, but my wife removes that choice. So it's to Briggs &
Stratton we go.
