Why? I mean who cuts their grass that early in the morning or late in the evening to need them?![]()

I use them in mid-late fall, mulching leaves after I get home from work.
I'd Rather be Fishing
Me and the wife were headed out to go fishing real early to beat the summer heat. Driving down a two lane highway there was a guy mowing at 430AM and all he was wearing was his underwear. I can’t drive by that place without that picture coming back to me. It always makes me and the wife laugh.

Ours are commercial but a few of my neighbors and myself do because its cooler at night during the summer, no need to sit on an oven in an oven.
I tried when I was younger but the lights weren't that good then. I'd imagine they are much brighter now.
As mentioned, cooler at night after the sun goes down. I don't enjoy sitting on a mower when it is 93-103 degrees. Lights and night are an option. Early morning the grass is usually too wet......hard on blades and mower belts.
I use them every now and then for late evening cutting.

my neighbor. he mows on Sunday at dark no matter the weather. he doesn't have lights on his mower. he rigs a big light to the front of mower. he is truly a moron....but Jesus loves him.
In the North lawn tractors are also used for snow removal mounted with blade or blower, its dark when people get home from work, lights are necessary.
Mow our field with the lights, but we have no neighbors at the cabin...
I lived in Alaska for a brief time. Daylight is very short some parts of the year.
I always wanted to mow at 3am to get even with my neighbors mowing while I was trying to sleep during the day when working night shift.
105+ temps down here in the summer, I’ll mow at night on occasion.
I see you’re not a 12hr shift worker.I have 6 acres of yard, a ton of weedeating around a million things and a half mile of fence line. I live in the country where my neighbors are in sight but not right on me. Sometimes mowing takes me into the dark. I never do the early morning mowing, not just because of the neighbors, but mainly the dew. Hate mowing when the grass is damp or wet. When it gets hot, a lot of farmers around here do field work at night.

I would expect night mowing to increase in popularity. You’d be surprised at how much ag work in California and Arizona goes on at night to avoid the heat. A lot of spraying by rotary aircraft occurs at night.
They come in pretty handy actually
Have only used them a couple times...........to be truthful they are not that great.
