Can you mow the grass after it rains?


Question:

Answers:
yeah.


You can if you want to gunk up your mower.
if you want it to be all clumpy and gross and stick all over your mower, then YES! you can.
it would be better to wait until it's dry
yeah but it is a pain in the butt. It is best if the grass is dry before you start mowing.
Yes. It just may not be standing as tall from the rain but you still can.
I wouldn't recommend it. It could gum up your lawn mower. Not to mention the grast just stick to pretty much anything when it is wet.
If it's a soaking rain, no. It's bad for the mower and the lawn. If it's a sprinkle and it isn't very wet or long, then you should be fine.
Sure you can, I am forced to do that this year with all the rain were getting. In fact I go out and cut it as soon as it stops because if not it'll just start raining again. It's a little harder to mow, and you need to make sure theres no standing water or it'll just make it harder for you
It's not the best idea, because the grass is wet so it will clog up the mower.
yes...but wait a short while for the grass to dry a bit...if you mow it wet you will have really clumpy grass piles in your yard and it will be all gummed up under your mower..
It is best to wait. The wet grass will clump and clog up your mower blades.
I wouldnt mow it unless I had just sharpened my blade!

A dull blade will simply tear out the grass, and make a huge mess out of the yard, plus the grass clumps under the mower will be terrible to clean.

What I do, is, First, I spray the lawn mower with WD-40 under the mower deck so its easier to clean! (Always wash out the underside of a mower, regardless, so that the deck doesnt "rust out" because the grass turns acidic when it decomposes, and will pit and ruin even aluminum decks!).

Then sharpen my blade and use a harmonic balancer to be sure its "just right".

Adjust the deck to the proper height, (your only supposed to take off a certain amount, not a couple of inches-->but, who really goes by that one, eh?).

I wish you well...

only if the grass is dry. but if u want to ruin your mower go ahead!
Sure, you may have clumps of wet grass thrown out the discharge intermittently instead of evenly. Also the wet grass may stick to the underside of the mower deck,which would require scrapping.
Yes but it will dull the blades on your mower
Sure if it has dried out,in the summer grass dries out very quickly after watering, the trick is to water the ground not the grass as much!!
If grass is still wet your lawn will be uneven with clumps and clippings will build up under mower. If using riding mower tires can tear some of the grass.
