I'll agree sounds like you're abusing the mower...

I'll amend this to hopefully make it not sound as condemnatory as it may
have sounded--that wasn't my intention.

Simply wanted to emphasize that I think the type of usage you're giving
it is beyond the expected "duty-cycle" of the particular
mower--particularly the rough part is really hard on them...think what
would have been the fate of the typical BORG-offering in the same
circumstance.
