If you know anything about Tennessee, we have plenty of hills and mountains to navigate and enjoy.
I was just outside on my riding mower and turned to sharp on an incline. I fell off the mower on my back. Fortunately, the mower shut off and didn't flip over on top of me.

I have a tender lower back now but nothing broken. Btw, I have the deck on the mower set as high as it goes and still can't cut the grass without jamming up the mower. Any suggestions other than buying a farm tractor? Waited too long to cut it

I’m guessing that you turned up the hill and rolled it. We were always told on the tractors to turn down hill, not up hill. Happy to hear that you just got a little banged up and nothing broke or cut up… 🐟on

You are correct DD. Cut it way to sharp going uphill.

That would be multiple goats Henry. I have an acre behind my house to cut. Horses might work too but they're expensive to keep.

Glad you only got a little bruised up G.
Aside from cutting the grass more often, try cleaning out the underside of the deck and when it dries, spray it down with Pam or any non stick spray. I used to do that on my push mower and it helped.
