Anglo Traction 1,016 #4 Posted June 29, 2018 Nice job with those mean looking Blades . Presume you are Grubbing out the area below the trees for the purpose of surface root reduction?. 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bolens QS16 was offered with a Kohler K341 single cylinder, very rare, but very capable. The T in QT was for Twin engine and the S in QS was for single cylinder 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadExam 1,783 #7 Posted June 30, 2018 You are liable to encounter some very large roots that close to the trees, not sure what type of grass will grow under trees, around here rye is the only thing that will grow under trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If ya look closely at the ripper I have bent one of the teeth.. As for grass most will grow in there as it gets plenty of water from the field behind us.. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grass needs sun to grow as much as water. soil issues and lack of sun are by far the biggest problems with getting grass to grow, water is not one of them. 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's good, around here if there isn't full sun the types of native grasses we have do not grow in any shade 1 minky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
