    Here's an idea, I assume that the top dresser has driven wheels?
    Why not get a tennis court bag (for smoothing out clay tennis courts, basically a lawn level) and fix it to the back behind you, that way you could level and top dress in one go!

    Looking good Ben, just looking at your turn technique disengaging the clutch. Its much easier to throttle down coming to your turn using the big red throttle lever, pretty sure its design is for that reason anyhow that's how i use mine also the Reel cut rate is matched to the speed you are traveling Cheers Chris.

    Your roller setup between the Toro and Deere WBGM might be the difference in how much grass you are able to cut. A more "aggressive" roller has more weight and less surface area in contact with ground, making it sink further into the turf.

    I'm curious to know how often you're overseeding. I'm trying to repair my lawn, there are a few very bald spots, and have just done an overseed with perennial rye. I'm wary of applying more seed before the existing has had a chance to settle in. Is 4-5 weeks too early to hit the bad areas with more seed?

    I’ve just seeded my back garden green with bent in the UK. As it germinates it creates puffy mounds as it grows unevenly. I know you struggled rolling yours perhaps prematurely, if I’m in no rush should I just it wait it out with both rolling and the first cut?
