Welcome to the forums!

I think you will fit in here very well. Lots of fellows here who have the same interests.

It is always interesting to see your side of the world. I am a farmer here and like machines as well.

I have a friend who is married to a Finnish born gal as well. She came here as an exchange student, and came back a few years later.. Kija is her name.

Regards, Kirk

Hi Metsaman! Welcome to ForumsForums. I'm glad you found us.
We mow anywhere from the last week of march to the first or second week of April. This year it looks to be really late, later than since I've kept track but it might be the third week before I have to mow da grass. When you do you normally mow the grass for the first time of the season?
Please post any other tidbits about Finland. I enjoy hearing about other parts of this great planet.
Enjoy and post often. :thumb:

My grass gets mowed every week no matter what the season unless it is raining of course. Good thing that I don't have a big lawn since the Gov has ordered water restrictions due to the drought.

Awesome video!!!!! Very nice place you have there. And yeah, winter shows no sign of leaving anytime soon. Great landing. Nice and smooth. Did you bust up a few planes learning to fly them?
No mowing till June. Wow. And how long does the mowing season last, just till August or so?
Every week would be tough Leni. Course I'm looking forward to the first mow now, but it does get old fast.

Glad you joined us. It's always interesting to get a European perspective. I've never been to Finland but when I lived in Scotland I had friends who went there every year for 2 weeks cross country skiing. They loved it.

By the way, I mowed my grass (weeds) for the first time this week. My yard is in a terrible state. The weather hasn't been dry enough for long enough to let me spray. Tomorrow though, it's going to get done. We're supposed to have a nice calm, warm, dry day before the rain starts again on Sunday.

Welcome to the Forum. See you on the threads. :biggrin: Looks like you have about as much snow as I have here in Vermont USA. I will be mowing my lawn in about another month. We lost a lot of snow yesterday as it was sunny 65F and then we got 1/2" of rain. I'll let you do the math to metric.

BTW, my rooster says hey as well. :biggrin:

Many years ago the company that I worked for brought a jack-up drilling rig from Singapore over to the North sea. It was moved on a transport vessel rather than towing it. Since the small crew on board had nothing to do during the trip they bought 7 radio control kits in Singapore (3 helicopters and 4 planes) to build during the voyage. They only had two left when they arrived in the UK. The other five were scattered across the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean somewhere. :sad::sad:

So, I guess that you're right, it does take practice and there will be casualties. :biggrin:

In case you haven't noticed, There are many memebers here who own snow cats. Mine is my avitar, a Swedish unit called a Snow Trac.

Since you have snow for so long in Finnland, are there machines for snow travel? Here is alink to a get together we had in Febuary..
