as they work for a living, and days off are rare, and they want to be tilling/mowing today!!!!
Here where I live, in a subtropical climate, the grass can gown really fast during the rainy season. Since it rains a lot, sometimes everyday, your opportunities to mow become limited and valuable. If you miss a weekend you could easily go 2-3 weeks without mowing and then it's a major undertaking for someone with a an engine under 20hp. I never cut wet grass, so I'm cutting in the afternoon or late morning during the weekend.
St Augustine grass must not be allowed to go to seed or your lawn is going to be screwed ( I keep a Bahia lawn).
That's why my mower has a 4 cylinder diesel rated at 35 hp and can cut 60 inches at a time. I don't know how high the grass would have to be to slow it down :thumbsup:.
