Take me for example. Friday afternoon I cut a haygrazer field. Grass was about 5' tall and made a full windrow on each pass.

I have a problem with weeds if some sort of weed control isn't exercised annually and sometimes semiannually. Gotta spray or plow and spraying is a real bear where I am. Mark
