I was a ranch kid in California and grass was taken care of by a push mower.
Based on that, I made a lot of early mistakes on the farm in terms of equipment, time hacks, costs, etc.
I just had no real frame of reference.
I think the statute of limitations has run out, but I used to put weights in the seats of the small tractors so my kids could mow...kept the cut off switch from activating. They both started around 8/9.
The best days of my life followed...having kids, especially kids who lean into farm work, have friends that got roped into my Tom Sawyer web, is just a blessing.
Now, both grown, professionals, this place is lonely and has become work without the grab-ass, which I miss.
Hang in there, FF...
