Not at all. Remember, it has to be properly adjusted to the tractor, good blades, new or sharp and also consider the conditions you will cut in. Younger growth vs later summer growth of weeds and such + height and density of whatever you need to cut all come into play here. I'd rather cut once in June and later than wait til late August or September when it's thick stalk and tall.
