What are your views/opinions on Robert Frost's poem 'Mowing'?

I think the important thing is to focus on the speaker on that poem: the speaker is describing a particular view towards life, one which doesn't go anywhere and embraces a sort of labor in being at rest, strangely enough. Weber's famous comment about a "Protestant Work Ethic" may not be sound scholarship, but it does seem to fit this poem.
