Just got myself a petrol mower and did a quick mowing 2 weeks ago. I have a big oak tree in the front garden and there are lots of fallen branches. I can hear the blade cracking up the branches when I mow over them, will this damage my mower? I felt the right choice that I got the steel deck version rather than plastic but still a bit worried that mowing together with the branches it will damage the mower.
What do people do with it? Do you ‘prepare’ the lawn before mowing - like collect the branches beforehand? My front lawn is a about 100sqm so I ‘d think it will take more time to collect the branches than actual mowing.
