Carl Kinsley, grounds super at the golf course I worked on in '79. 😉 I perfected straight lines on tees, greens, & fairways.
My Dad. We push mowed about 1 1/2 acres. Dad kept taking in more and more of the pasture into the yard until it was at least that big. Back in the red lead gasoline days. I hope at least it built character. lol
My Father!! was an amazing teacher, thanks for the memories! 💖

About 1970 I "contracted" in high school to mow our church lawn, with a 5 HP 26" Snapper. I just measured it on Google maps, about 3 acres. It was a full day's job. Now I have 3.5 acres on my farm and it takes about 3.5 hours with a 22 HP JD Z-turn 54".
This past Sunday, I left my house @ 6:30am to go mow 3 rural cell tower sites, got home @ 7:30pm. 1:20-7:30 was spent on one HUGE site with my Kubota GF 1800. Love this contract, & hopefully next summer i can take on more mowing for this client.😁
takes over 4 hours maybe more..
A, some lines straight, some wavy I'm always changing it up.
12 hour day of doing lawns for other people on Saturday. another 12 hour day mowing a few rural cammercial properties. Uhhh my own lawn has been neglected a bit this spring.😿
