I’m about to join you with being soaked from head to toe. I have the day off for Juneteenth and about to go cut this 6-8” high grass and I have to use a push mower to cut my yard and it’s not one of those small yards like you see in the burbs either.
June 2025
I bought a Cub Cadet with about a 190cc Honda engine a few years ago. It's a beast. Make Briggs & Stratton engines look a joke - I'll never go back. Can cut through thick, tall St. Augustine, even wet, like buttah.
I’m looking for a new good push mower. Is it self propelled?DoctorMu wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 12:39 pmI bought a Cub Cadet with about a 190cc Honda engine a few years ago. It's a beast.

That model is a walk behind with self propelled. I have some hilly, sloped, bumpy terrain. Large back wheels for turning, traction. Plus, I mulch - the soil sucks (gray, red clay, alkaline) around here, so over time I've built in a layer of topsoil through mulching the lawn, gardens/shrub beds.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 1:49 pmI’m looking for a new good push mower.

I'm not sure CC is making the 700H anymore.
CC/Honda make a push 160cc Honda engine model. It may or may not be right for you. It's not self-propelled. Good 21 inch deck. Great blades. Superior motor and carburetor. They don't rust out like the old Sears mowers.

- If you enjoyed the past couple days, you`ll like the weather
through most of the weekend as it`ll remain about the same.
- We`ll see an uptick in rain chances next week as mid level
high pressure moves further to our east.

Forecast remains in pretty good shape and overall reasoning remains
about the same as advertised the past several days. Mid level
ridging centered just to our north and northeast should provide just
enough subsidence to keep diurnally driven precip on the lower
side into most of the weekend. That said, we`ve seen a touch more
coverage than what NBM has been depicting as of late so have gone
ahead and thrown in some 20% POPs to at least get the mention in
there (mainly coastal areas and offshore late at night and in the
mornings followed by inland sections later in the day and early
evening). That said, most of us won`t see much. Also, nudged high
temps up a little from NBM suggestions and closer to what we`ve
seen the past couple days.
Heading into next week, the ridge tracks further to the east and
expands across a good part of the eastern CONUS. With less
subsidence in place, a continued onshore flow and PW`s trending
closer to 2", and intermittent impulses rotating under/around the
periphery of the ridge axis...think we`ll see gradually
increasing shra/tstm chances for a decent part of next week. They
will still be mostly diurnally driven, but probably more overall
coverage. 47

The forecast is persistence. Some patchy fog and low level clouds
have developed near CLL, CXO, and SGR leading to mainly MVFR
conditions this morning, but these conditions will scatter out by
14z leading to area-wide VFR conditions through the remainder of
today. Southerly winds, becoming breezy at times, will also
persist through the day. Some isolated afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will again be possible, but coverage will be a bit
lower than yesterday with the main window of development being
between 21-00z. Like the past few nights, MVFR conditions may
redevelop at the northern TAF sites late tonight into early
Saturday morning.

Look for continued S-SE winds in the 10-15kt range and 3-5ft seas
will prevail into next week. Isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms are a possibility late at night and in the
mornings...though changes gradually increase heading into early-mid
next week. 47
