We've had so much rain over the past week... two weeks?? Maybe?... That we went from being extremely dry and grass not growing much at all, to grass growing like wild, and you having to mow like crazy. But, with it raining so much (it rained at least twice, yesterday) you couldn't even cut the grass because it was not drying out from the previous rains. My back yard got so bad, though, that I had to just go after it.
I figured I'd just go brute-force on the high grass and cut it at the height I would have normally cut it. Well... that does not work well, at all, with a battery-powered mower. It puts so much load on the mower that it saps the battery in about 1/3 of the time it would normally take it. Also, the electric motor will stop at a point when the load is quite heavy, and you have to pop out the battery and put it back in just to get it to start back up again.
I figured out that the only way to cut that super-high grass was to set the mower up as high as it would go, buzz through it once, drop the blade one notch, buzz through it again, drop it another notch, buzz through it, etc. I could finally get through it without it literally sapping the battery by taking that approach, avoiding putting a significant load on the mower.
That ain't too good, as it takes considerably more time to have to do that. Fortunately (hopefully), the situation with the rain that we've been seeing over the past couple of weeks doesn't happen very often.
