I would think the mower would level the fire ant hills - - - but that might not be good as they might spread? The stump jumpers on this mower are 4' in diameter and 1/2" thick and the gear boxes are rated for a 160 HP tractor so I would think it would handle them like the mounds around ground...

I moved the cattle for the first time this year today - - - 14 cows and calves and 3 heifers I'm going to breed in June made quick work of 7 acres - - - I like to clip them as soon as I move the cattle off - - - Even clipping at least 3 times a year and the wooded pasture I bulldozed in 2003...
