Mower Service planned for tonight, Kobota 60" ZT w/23hp Kawasaki. Maybe mow this weekend.
Where can I get 50lb bags of Hunterdon County blend (or similar) grass seed, and close to Warren County?

Have you tried Agway?

No Agway that I was aware of, but now I’ve found one in Morristown!

This place looks promising Premium Grass Seed & Turf Seed in Hillsborough | Belle Mead Co-op https://share.google/MRpzeEMLmIWx1Ibie
That was one of our go-to spots a very long time ago!

Its a great place. We get all of our grass seed there, as well as soil for the garden and plants. Never disappoints and great customer service.

My cheapo Amazon tire disintegrated at the end of the season so I ordered the Addix version to hook up better on wet roots.
Also replaced the valves. Got extras if anyone wants one
Done with first mow, front yard looks rough this year with the tundra then early summer
Just dropped the Halts but lots of weeds popped up this week. Keeping the nettle for the bees but the fake strawberries and bittercress need manual intervention this weekend.

I had one of those! Mowed 4.3 acres for 17 years and still sold it for $1k!

18mo lawn is mostly clover. I actually love it - found 4-leaf and 5-leafs before the mow!! Mowed 3 acres, then went to inspect our 1 acre retention basin. After an hour of human-wheelbarrow action, finding and picking rocks, I mowed most of the area surrounding the actual basin pan. When I rock picked it I found a couple box turtles! So the basin stays as is, no mowing.
Sidebar: ZT mowers cannot back up a tight rolling knob. I knew this, but as I crested the knob the font wheels were too light to actually steer, so I bogged. Out comes the recovery straps, position the truck and ready for the pull, minus another driver. Then a truck parks nearby and I get to meet the land owner behind me (30 acres). Great bonding experience!
I'll begin the search for grass seed this week.

Ouch! I haven’t bought grass seed in 25 years. And it’s no longer ~$1/pound!
$199 for 50lbs Hunterdon County Blend, no longer $200 = 4x 50lb bags!!!

About $60 10-12 years ago, higher than college tuition increases...
