  all depends on the ground tempture in your area ,   and what the grass is growing on  sandy soil or clay  , but if it grows mow it .

  Just got our mowers back from being serviced only to find one of the 56s has a knocking sound on the engine :( now to find an old style engine )
  
  The lawns are starting to grow but I may treat with iron next week before I mow.

  Im pretty sure these engines are different as they have different powers if my memory serves me right.

  I have been weeding for a week but not mowing yet. Will do all my lawns with the box to lift everything even on those ones that I mulch. Then a selective in Mid April. One site seems to be so overrun with clover that's all I end up cutting, so it's getting a good treatment this year which should lighten the workload somewhat.

   

  Great seeing loads of buds on shrubs and fruit so a good prune and tidy is easy.
