In “This Yard Turns Into a Nightmare!”, Al Bladez shares his experience tackling a challenging backyard that proved to be a complete nightmare. Joined by @LawnCareJuggernaut and @CabinontheHill, they encountered wet and thick grass that couldn’t be mowed with regular mowers. Despite their initial efforts with a ventrac, multiple setbacks, such as a neighbor passing out, pouring rain, and the ventrac’s belt smoking and ultimately breaking, made the job incredibly difficult. However, with the help of Joel from Ventrac, they were able to pick up the necessary attachment and finally complete the job, even though the yard was flooded with septic water.
