But we've got acres and acres of grasses with the tops of granite boulders sticking up, and downed branches for which we sort out the bigger oness but the small ones get hit by the blades.

Had to retire the early Craftsman to a smoother property and get a taller decked Husqvarna Kohler V-Twin.

I sometimes call it the 'mower, rock grinder, wood chipper'.

Good luck.
