Best thing I did. Front lawn I do by push mower, momma wants country club grass for the world to see, but the back yard is my domain!  I am that typical guy that will move a pile of dirt from over here to over there just to play with my "tractor"!  I have 9 acres and I'm trying to get the wife onboard with letting me get a couple of mules. I have always had this fascination with mules, even as a kid. She is having none of it!! Oh well, now that I have 6 dogs, I won't have time for my mules...

Man, I used to love mowing with my zero turn. I'd get off work at 6, grab a beer and jump on it and cut 3 acres in less than an hour. But the yard had this hill where that was pretty much a cliff on one side where the state cut through to put a road in. About feet feet straight down. And every time I'd get too close (especially after a couple beers). And like you said, the grass was a little wet and it just went sideways. 

Never been into mules, but I have been to Mule Days, a celebration of all things mules about an hour from here. I'm pretty jealous of those acres, though. Miss my three.
