Bad Boy 42" Rambler Struggled -Toughest Test This Mower Has Faced - April 18, 2024

Описание: Today, the Bad Boy 42", 22hp Kohler Rambler was mowing weeds, not grass. These weeds, looked like some type of clover. I'm no botanist so my knowledge is very limited. I have no clue of the actual name of these weeds. It may not be any type of clover. I do know they were very tough. It was a full 2 week growth since I last mowed and we've had our share of rain. I didn't take any measurements on the height but I'm going to estimate these weeds were from 3" to 8" throughout.
On the tallest areas I could hear the 22 hp Kohler bog down ever so slightly if I pushed it hard enough. I don't recall that ever happening before.
My wife came out with the leaf blower and cleaned the top of the deck about halfway through mowing the backyard.
I had to make 2 passes on most of our yard to get a good cut. The blades have about 30.25 hrs on them. I've been careful to mow only weeds and grass.
The underneath of the deck was clean before mowing and was cleaned after mowing. There was a LOT of buildup under the deck after this mowing. There's 2 big piles of chopped weeds on the ground after scraping it off.
On August 14, 2023, I posted a video of the Rambler mowing some extra tall grass. It was much taller than what you see being mowed here but it was a little easier to cut. I didn't hear the Kohler bog down but I took it easy and didn't push it hard.
