That Crazy Grass Guy!
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ต.ค. 2020
My name is Joey Williams, and I am “That Crazy Grass Guy!” This channel was formerly First String Lawn Care. In 2023, I got a divorce and had a hip replacement. I had to make the painful decision to sell off my business and return to the healthcare field. It’s now 2024 and I’ve got a new vision. Instead of throwing in the towel, I’m going to grow the business back, with a different ideology this time around! Follow along as I do whatever it takes to get back what I lost! You’ll see time lapse customer lawn care/mowing jobs, overgrown property cleanups, hedge and shrub trimming, mulch installations, pine straw installations, rock flowerbed border installations, and anything else lawn care related! If it involves cutting, mowing, or trimming something I’m going to film it! This isn’t a “How To” channel, rather a “How I Do It” channel. Heck, you may even see what I do behind the scenes in normal day to day life! Come along for the ride with “That Crazy Grass Guy!”. Let’s go git it!!
I Bought A 4x6 LAWN CARE UTILITY TRAILER
What did I do now? I saw this 4x6 utility trailer on Facebook marketplace and decided it was worth the price! I’m going to need a way to haul mulch, pine straw and debris. Small yards, small mower, small trailer!

TEACHING My Daughter HOW To MOW A LAWN
i would've sold you my 4x8 for $380
Not sure my little lawn care car could handle it
Just came across your videos, I'm getting ready for this season too. I wasn't really taking mowing serious last year. This year i'm hoping to get a lot of more clients
Congrats man! I’d definitely keep the cargo carrier as a backup, or if like others have mentioned you get a truck later on.
Thanks!! Yeah I’m def keeping it for now. I really appreciate the view!
I don't know about the mowers ,but I do have a beautiful granddaughter. Love u both it's good to see u even it's in a video. And I know you're mother love's you too.
Im not sure how your video was on my feed but as a full time guy with over 15+ experience... Man return it and buy a used toro pro line other than the commercial hondas because those are what you see as far as the 21" commercial mowers outlast everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING including walk behinds, big riding mowers... Those toro prolines are very expensive 🫰 used even but they are still worth it. Those aluminum decks are great for mulching, the only problem with those legendary mowers is that their tires and gears wear out fast and you have to gamble on the engine and transmission how the previous owners had them but if you find a well taken care of, they will last you a long time.. love them to death thats why you see so many on truccks and crews also being stolen. I have the commercial honda and although it is heavy, it is a tank and i never seen anything bag like it, thick grass is never an issue. Side discharge or mulch, may not be pretty but it will get through it with ease.. all i use is honda oil and it is still pulling and starting in the first and second pull tops..
I appreciate the response! If you happen to watch more than just this video you will see what I have for a setup and why I’m not using a commercial or big mower. If that Honda makes it through two seasons and tears up I’ll just buy something else. It will have paid for itself. Maybe in the future I’ll go for a different setup. Thank you!
Hope u get better soon ❤.
Just so you know. It was always her fault more than you. I see who she is now and I feel sorry you had to deal with her all these years. The reason I can do anything is because of you. I watched your hard work year after year. Now hard work is all I got to give this world. Now I get it. I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. We may not speak but I do have respect for you when it comes to the work ethic you gave me.
Its Recommended to use conventional oil for the break in period then switch to synthetic after.
You’re the second person to tell me that. I’ll change it!
GXV160 are the best engines
I’m sure it is since it’s a commercial Honda. I’m glad you mentioned it. I never knew these mowers existed! I see they put them on a line of Toros?
For$ 50.00 more you could have bought a HRax217 with blade stop
I had the 217 before. It was ok. I would have probably bought another if they had it.
On line
Sorry for the bad sentence in the green box!! Check out my main channel! That’s what it was supposed to say!
I like to have small to medium size yards. I feel like being a solo operator it would be easier on me with them yards.
Yeah i agree. Maybe we’re just old Jeff? 😆
Jeff are you still on Facebook?
Help me add to the list!! What are some other top considerations before starting your lawn care business?
It doesn't look like it's self propelled🤔
Which one???
The Toro time waster AWD is what I have JUNK! JUNK!!! Motor has now Power and keeps stalling on any grass more then like 4”.
Dude I had the Turfmaster. Same issues!! Not worth the price to me at all.
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy yeah if that’s the double bladed unit I have one of those at home and the belt snapped. I bought all the parts to fix it but I gotta change the head gasket on the motor. I lost my shirt on that deal I bought it used for $350 and I had my sister pick it up and I think the head gasket is gone.
Yeah I’ll never buy another. I wonder how the SCAG 30” mower is? Looks like the same motor on it. I don’t see how it could be much better.
Get it done 💪
Who knows how all this plays out but I’m having fun again.
Geeze i got little over 2 months to go yet here in pa.gona have to get a grinder the lock on my she is stuck don't know if the - 11 nights broke it or what lol its in the mid 30s now still won't open
Too cold for me!!! You all cut grass when it starts growing up north. We gotta cut it down and then let it grow in. That’s why I start in March. I’ll get all my lawns down to 1.5” before spring.
I like that mower but the way the self propelled is i have nerve damage in my hands I can't use it so I got a all wheel drive toro
Man I hate to hear that. I know it sucks to be in pain. Hopefully it’s bearable and you can still enjoy mowing. Thanks for tuning in! I really appreciate it.
I’d like to have 25 customers average yard 60$ and get riding mower
Do it!!!
I live fine with 30 clients 🍻
Are all of yours yearly?
Check and make sure that the mower was not part of the recall. This is a different style than the older ones and there was a production run that has compression release issues. They have caused some injuries. Taryl fixes all has a video on them and how to check if the repair was made before it was sold. Check the Honda website for the production run in question
Of course….😩 Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look it up.
This is a no contest when you want to stay in this price range. I have a small engine shop. The new Hondas are not what they used to be. With that being said they are still much better than the newer Briggs engines. That DeWalt has a Honda clone engine made in China. One way to tell...It doesn't advertise it's a brand at all. That was sound thinking on your part. You said you had a 190cc at home. That likely means you have a Briggs flat head Quantum engine. It's the best mower engine of the lot, despite the age. Just my advice
I do have have the 190cc still and plan to use it as my back up or at least alternate with it. The only issue I have with it, is it’s slow. The Honda is much faster but less engine. We’ll see how it all plays out. I have both and I’m keeping both. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Great vid, good luck with 2025 business. Question, what size storage unit and how much do you pay?
5x10, $31 a month
the thonda hru moweers are way better
That’s the one I got!
Hi, Yes nice little mower and i repair them as a side gig . The front end will break off before because of wet grass people leave under it but other than that it had a solid briggs engine..
That’s good to know brother. Thanks for that info. I’m going to use that mower for a backup and for when I need to do some mulching.
Cool let’s go!💪🏾👋🏾
I’m ready!
Looks good but I feel like it needs bigger words
I agree but if I go any bigger I’ll need to have a different image. This one’s resolution isn’t good enough to blow up any bigger. I may need to pay for a logo or figure out a way to fix this one
Stay away from toro I had a bad experience with the new ones had a bunch of issues right off the bat now it just sits in my shed, my buddy game me a mower for free I swap engines one Honda to another bc the motor was bad and been using it ever since 😂 I love it I have the hrn and the hrx and an older toro with a Honda motor so I’ve always trusted Honda and have the 170 and 200 engine both engines are great
Thanks for all that info!! I keep hearing about issues when backing up with the toro.
All you have to do is slightly adjust the Personal Pace cable if it doesn’t back up. Roll it forward very slightly to disengage the drive and it will roll backwards just fine.
@LL-mt2nz Yeah, I watched a garage guy review and he had said something about the issue with backing up. I don’t know how often it happens or if it’s just on certain mowers.
Personal Pace doesn’t engage and disengage like other self propelled mowers. I have a new Super Recycler and it behaves just fine
@LL-mt2nz I’m gonna try one at some point!
My goal is a little similar to yours. I don't want to grab jobs just because I can I want to grab the right jobs
Yeah, I’m not gonna kill myself and just have fun out there this time around. I had fun last time but it could be better this time around.
That's a good plan.
Just gonna take my time and try to get some of this stress off of me this year.

@ThatCrazyGrassGuy I gave you a shout out today.
@jeffslawnandlandscapingllc5481 Thanks Jeff!!! I appreciate that brother
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy To get some better grass coming in for a fuller looking lawn.
@nickwebber-mx mow twice a week!
Sounds like you have a good game plan man. It is nice having a backup weed eater or push mower for sure. Best of luck man 👍🏼
My biggest concern is the car. It’s a gamble for sure. I drive it like I’m 70 so we’ll see.
@ThatCrazyGrassGuy I think as long as you don't haul anything too heavy your car transmission should be fine and keeping up with your maintenence until you save up for a pick up or something a bit bigger. Wish you a great season brother and looking forward for more updates on your business 💯
Yeah I drive it easy and keep up with the maintenance. I’m gonna keep it light for sure. I really appreciate the support!
Are you gonna make it legit this year or just a side hustle ?
Side hustle till I see how I hold up and how much I make.
What are your goals this year with you’re kind setup
My goal is to get 30 weekly customers at a minimum of $50 per. I work another job as well. I plan to mow as much as possible this summer and leaf cleanups into the fall. I’ll have a few customers that will be yearly. I plan on working at my other job more during Dec, Jan, Feb.
For a super recycler I want at least a 190cc engine. It gives you all the power and great for mulching. I have a 190cc 8.75 Briggs Intek (The ones before all the plastic recoil and carb it’s all metal) on my John Deere JS45 and it has all the power and doesn’t struggle at all in thick wet grass. Hell it started raining and I wanted to finish and when I was done I flipped the deck down and almost 0 grass built up underneath!
I think you can order the 190 from Lowe’s.
I thought about it but I heard that about the carb and I didn’t want to spend that much on a 21”. Seems like it was $899
Good to know it has plenty of of power
Hope you still got the mower
No sir, I sold off everything. Check out the new videos!
You should of asked for a deal
Yeah probably should have. They were floor models.
Toro
If this one tears up my next one is a toro
👍🏾
I thought you said I just got caught. I thought you got pulled over with the trailer. Yes, on the red truck.I had a youtube sticker but I no longer have that truck
😆😆 I need to get a TH-cam symbol
Car magnets are an easy and affordable way to advertise. Once you have your equipment start advertising! Spend most of your time, money and energy on ADVERTISING! No one knows you exist!!!
Hey, my brother, stick with the Honda.All for that machine, go to your dealership.Who sells Honda's get the Pacific oil for trust me, you would not regret it.Please do that
Thanks for the advice!!!
I agree with that
Enjoy your video
By the way I'm map landscaping from norfolk Va
Thanks brother! I’m just documenting the journey
Go with. The Honda is the best more for the Bang for your bucks. I have mine's over right now. 10 years first, pool starts right up dependable. Every time speed control is cool as hell big Bang for your book, you can't go wrong with Honda. The mobilized, the deck will fall apart before the mower
I got it! Let’s see how she does!
Nice find! Are you going to set up a ramp for it?
Maybe, but the mower is so light I think I can just pull it right off.
That why its good stick and work together rather than see each other as competition.
I know right!!!! If we all work together we all win. I can’t mow all this grass myself.
Glad to see you back Joey. Think you might go back to a 36 inch again? Just keep both cause you might have a parking issue with some of these neighborhoods by the way they building them these days. Tight parking!
Good to be back!! I haven’t completely committed to the idea but I may work towards a small truck and trailer just so I can have a 36” walk behind. I feel like for what I do, a walk behind offers the best of both worlds. I’ve always wanted that Exmark Turf Tracer!
I would just keep the cargo still. Maybe if things go good this year, you might end up also buying a little Ford ranger & that cargo hitch will come to use again.
Thanks for the info! I’m putting some thought into this and taking my time this go around.
Wait...what happened to your lawncare setup? 🤔
Which one? The cargo carrier?
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy youtube is irritating anymore, not notifying me of like 80% of replies to.my comments 🙄 What a useless app. Anyway, you used to run a truck, trailer and stander, didn't you?
@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Yeah man, I did. Got a divorce two years ago.
Aw, sorry to hear that, brother. Prayers up for yous. Glad to see you're still rocking and rolling 💪🏾💪
Yeah sold everything off but I’ve got the itch again. Just gonna keep about 25-30 customers and do it part time with my other job.
Yes sir will definitely work beats using the trunk any day. I would hold on to Cargo carrier for a minute ✔️
It will definitely keep me from destroying the trunk for sure. That’s two votes to keep the cargo carrier! Thanks Big Son!
Keep the cargo trailer for awhile longer. In case something goes wrong with the trailer. Hustle Grind Rewind. New subscriber watching from Florida 32 degrees 😎✌️🤙🇺🇸👍
Good idea! Just as quick as I sold that thing something would happen to the trailer. Thanks for subscribing, and go kick some ass this season!
