Once upon a time, there was a barn built upon a stone foundation. When the barn came down, they just covered over the foundation with dirt. A lot of that has collapsed, so the area is unpredictable.

...use caution there sportfan. Where there is an old barn there might be an old house. Where there is an old barn and an old house there could be an old outhouse. Ya don't want to find that. First of all it's an unpleasant place to be and second, ya probably couldn't get out of it.

out and the wind blows it back on me.

I don't know if you own a tractor, but one thing I love about pulling a brush hog behind the tractor is that there's nothing that flies out. Everything just drops to the ground beneath the brush hog. It also does a reasonable job of taking down invasive trees, breaking up branches, and pretty much dealing with whatever's there except for wire (which I hit once.) Since the blades are a good 3 or 4 inches off the ground, I can cut through deep grass without too much worry of hitting a rock. It happens sometimes, but I've learned where most of the hazards of that size are.

I still worry when going through the deepest stuff since there are a few holes on my lot. Once upon a time, there was a barn built upon a stone foundation. When the barn came down, they just covered over the foundation with dirt. A lot of that has collapsed, so the area is unpredictable. If one of the tractor's small front tires went into a hole, would the tractor roll? It probably depends on the angle I'm at when it happens, and it's something I don't particularly want to learn!

I'm pretty comfortable now mowing with the tractor. The biggest problems I have with it tend to be horse flies and sunburns.
