Mow Pasture and Repair Mower

Raising your own food is easy! Pastured Poultry Setup that works!
What happens here
Before moving the birds, a specific section of the pasture needs to be mowed to a suitable, short height. This ensures that the electric poultry netting will make full contact with the ground, preventing the chicks from escaping underneath. Josh takes his dogs for a dip in the pond to cool off before heading to the tractor shed to retrieve his 'Swisher Big Mo' zero-turn mower. Upon starting the mower, it unexpectedly dies. Josh diagnoses the issue as a chewed fuel line, likely by a squirrel or rat, and quickly replaces the in-line fuel filter to get the mower operational again. He then proceeds to mow the grass in a circular pattern, creating a cleared area for the mobile coop and fencing.
Goal: The designated pasture area is mowed short using a zero-turn mower, but not before a broken fuel line on the mower is identified and quickly repaired by replacing the fuel filter.
