Lawnmower help for dummys?

Question

Here's the problem, I ran over a piece of cloth with my riding mower, which got tangled in the blades, wrapped TIGHT.  I've tried cutting it out, but can't get to the inside tangle.  Any advise, something I can pour on it to eat the material away or something, without having to remove the blades? 
Bear in mind I'm a single woman, with absolutely no tools for taking off the blades, which I know is the common sense solution.

well  i was going to say... "take the blades off" and then i kept reading. lol...  make sure the blade is off and turn the blades opposite of what they normally turn and it should loosen up the cloth ... hope this helps you.

Unfortunately, if it is wound tight, the only way that you are going to get it off is by taking the blades off.  Hopefully there is a guy that could help you in the area.  Be careful, the mower is really heavy and you don't want to get underneath it without supporting it.

The best answer I can come up with is what I do when that happens to me! The cloth, string, rope, whatever gets wrapped on I try to unwind it like its on a spool. It was wound on, so unwind it and in my opinion that's the best way to remove the obstructions.

You are a clever girl, I do not know of any other biatches who ride on lawn mowers.
