First grass cut of the year is late April, maybe early May. Then pretty much continuous until late July / early August, when it goes dormant and I mow much less frequently, maybe every 3 weeks or so. Last mow / leaf mulch is usually in early October, so the mower sits unused almost 6 months.

Same deal with the snowblower. We might get a little snow around Thanksgiving, but usually so little that you can use the shovel, the first snowblower worthy snow might not be until Christmas. Then, depending on the year, you might use it until early March. Then, just when you think you can put it away and take the snow tires off the car, you get slammed in late April / early May. The snowblower sits a lot too.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Here we use the mower year round, although we may go 1-2 months without mowing in the winter. Usually in the winter we get enough sun to cause some growth. And then in the past, when the grandsons would visit they'd want a tractor ride (tow them behind the mower in a wagon).

I first saw this guy's videos on FB. I find them very interesting and they are entertaining.
