Cut trimming time

To cut my string trimmer work in half, I ran a rope

through my mower’s grass chute and tied a knot. I tied

the other end of the rope to the tractor so it can’t get

caught in the blades. This way, I can pull up the grass

chute and get closer to trees and other obstacles from

the comfort of my tractor seat.
