We all know the popular New Year’s resolutions, like joining a gym or getting organized. Those may be solid choices, but if you love a good lawn and want a standout property, a couple (or all) of these will surely tighten up your mowing in 2022.
I Will Fear No Fence Line
Weaving in and out between fence posts is a challenge for most mowers, but a Grasshopper FrontMount™ is built for reaching tough areas and quickly maneuvering with the adjustable, intuitive control levers.
I Will Clean Up My Clippings
You didn’t spend the time on a beautiful cut only to leave a trail of clippings behind. Use a large rake and/or outdoor broom to gather the clipping for the garbage or compost. Or check out a Grasshopper PowerVac™ Collection System to suck up clippings as they’re cut, giving your lawn a smooth finish.
I Will Cut In Comfort
Did you know comfort is key to a superior cut? Mowers with rigid seats and high vibration will wear you down fast, leading to a rushed job and, of course, some aches and pains. Upgrade your mower seat for 2022 and look forward to getting out there again.
I Will Perfect Every Stripe
It almost goes without saying, but it’s also worth repeating. Crisp, even stripes make any property pop, but it takes focus. Then, make it a goal to try a new design and perfect it.
I Will Not Make Shortcuts In the Side Yard
We know there are areas that go unseen in some yards, but that’s not an invitation to neglect them. Play all four quarters and finish the job, which means those side yards need some love.
I Will Respect the Maintenance Schedule
Some are on top of this and others find it hard to remember the various maintenance checkpoints on their zero-turn mower. Take this chance to get out the old owner’s manual and put sticky notes or iPhone reminders when it says you need to perform regular maintenance. We promise, it could add years of better performance to your mower.
I Will Conquer Night Mowing
Not everyone’s a night owl, but if you’re crunched for time, you’re equipped for nighttime mowing with Grasshopper’s LED lights. They provide excellent visibility so you can feel safe and efficient mowing in low-light conditions.
I Will Make My Stripes—At the Right Height
If you’re spacing out mowing by cutting your lawn short, just know this: giving the grass a close shave isn’t doing anything for its health. Try to only cut a 1/4” of its total length in one sitting so it stays thick and lush all season long.
Follow some of these resolutions in 2022 (or even all of them) and enjoy the healthy, beautiful lawn they’ll surely bring to life.
