Prepare for Overgrowth Clearing

What happens here

Begin by assessing the extent of the overgrowth, noting areas with tall weeds and grass, such as the 3 to 4-foot tall "fennels" mentioned. Ensure the area is free of large debris or hidden obstacles that could damage the mower. Adjust the zero-turn mower's deck to its highest possible setting, typically around 4 inches, for the initial pass through dense vegetation. This prevents the mower from getting bogged down and helps to gradually reduce the height of the growth.

Goal: Assess the work area and configure the mower for initial heavy cutting.
