While I've been on our place for over a year and had one season of brush hogging our pasturesI have a question.
Going to mow our pastures this weekend. Last year when I did it I set the brush hog nearly on the ground and went at it. The grass averaged about 18"-24" high. It left a ton of cutting. It didn't bother me much but still looks a bit halfassed. My question is this. The pasture now is every bit of 24" high or taller in a lot of areas. Does it make sense to keep the mower maybe 6-10" off the ground and jsut have to mow it again sooner? THe answer is probably all about personal preference and time alocated to the task but wanted to ask those that have been around this sort of thing much longer than I. What say you.
