I read this post title and honestly thought it was a creative way to say "finding a way to free up (farm) time in the schedule".
...I read too many productivity-focused blogs (idk why)
Anyway, the new equipment sounds cool. I don't have a lawn because I am apartment living, but if I did have a lawn, I would go with the manual/analog/walk-along mower you mentioned. Sounds cool!
Stay well :)
I indeed meant it as in "a farmer of time" then realized it made sense either way, so decided not to specify!
This reminds me of a bit of world building in the game Sunless Skies, where barrels of hours are woven through looms. The wealthy can extend their life or add time to a day, and prison sentences of decades can be squeezed into weeks. Of course, the game doesn't actually explain how exactly that all works, but it's a fun to mental exercise to puzzle over.
