We work no matter what the weather is doing and on rainy days it\u2019s no different. The secret to a good mow on a rainy day is to keep your machine clean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may not work for everyone but it works for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a mower clogs once, that tends to be it for the rest of the day. It\u2019s going to keep getting fouled up. I have a technique that works well and keeps your mower running well all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, do not go out with worn or blunt blades. This is going to make your job so much harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, keep your chute clean. This is normally the first sign of trouble. I use a stop-and-tap method. I know how much I can usually get in my catcher. On a wet day, I allow for about a third of a catcher before I stop unhooking the catcher, cleaning the chute, and taping the grass to the back of the catcher. Do not try to clean the chute while the mower is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This takes a bit longer but it will keep the mower running all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
