re: "The riding mower throws 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.
