Lawn Care: Early Season Cut for Healthy Grass and Stripes
Read this at multiple occasions that Honda is going to stop building gas powered mowers, but you can still buy them new as new, at least in Europe. What happened, did they reconsider their decision? When I was a kid, my grandpartents had a Honda HR 17 (early 80s model) and I spent a good part of my childhood mowing their lawn with that thing. That was just quality.
@@Dr_Kurt i guess time will tell thanks for posting !!
What test kit did you use?
yardmastery.com/products/yard-mastery-soil-testing-kit this is the test we used Thanks for posting !
Unfortunately, tenacity won't kill poa, only stunt it. Velocity is the only known selective herbicide but is crazy expensive. I've started to kill off with glyphosate the big areas in backyard, plan on over seeding this fall. Good luck!
@@jakebosquez4060 Thank you for your input. I completely agree with your method. I'm going to stunt it, over-seed it, and apply pre-emergent once this year before winter and once in the spring. We will see the results.
I know it’s a silly question because it kills almost everything but how are the results?
@@TheLawnMechanic Keep us posted on the results!
No risk no reward 👍
@@gvalentine3441 true and at the end of the day we learn together
Honda is still going to make mowers just not in the USA. its because of all the stupid regulations.
Interesting , thanks for posting !!
Very helpful. Just changed mine. Thanks 👍
@@psychologchris thanks for the nice comment !!!
I had the same issue and thanks to your video it help me fix my sprayer. I am having an issue though (after fixing) it does not auto shutoff like it did before once enough air pressure has been pumped into the tank. Did you have this issue? Any ideas or thoughts of why this may be happening? Thanks :)
No i didn’t sounds like you may have a small leak ?
When putting the cap on dont press at the handle. Use both hands on the outer edge of the cap and run it backwards till it drops down into the threads. Then tighten the cap on. Ive never had trouble putting the cap on like everyone else does I guess.
thank you I will try
GOOD JOB!!!
Thanks for posting !!!
@@TheLawnMechanic im just trying to support a future celeb!
Thanks for this - I have 3 of them with bad hoses. Like the unit other than that
No problem thanks for watching
Thanks for the info . gonna try it
Poor wife
@@katied7956 shes the best wife ever !!!!
Any recommendations on how to improve clay soil? I have a four year old new build and have a ton of rock and clay in my yard. I can barely get down 2-3 inches with a probe.
I use gypsum and it helps a little , Lightly fertilizing, also I have a video coming up showing I use chicken feed to feed . Im also going to plug the lawn more often. That helps with the drainage.
@@TheLawnMechanicthanks!
@@Commander_D thanks for commenting !!
"whaddya mean the water bill is still the same? I was watching the sprinklers the whole time!"
@@CGoody564 haha right !!!! Don’t blame me ! Thanks for posting
@@TheLawnMechanic you just gotta watch'em even closer this month. Nothin' will get by you! (Until that bill comes. You may want to start thinking up a new "job" by then)
Stop it. Go help your wife. 5yrs from now you'll be another miserable single guy trying to figure out why you're so alone.
@@noblebrown6077 love my wife 100% it was a joke if you knew us you would know how we roll thanks for posting !!! BTW her and i never part we even work together…
Hahahaha!
Hell yeah brother
@@C-Young. thanks for posting
Wow! Hilarious! I too am a man child who doesn’t like to help around the house!
@@saskimo3932 if we cant laugh and joke with our wife thinks would get bad fast !!! I do help when im not messing things up of course !!
@@TheLawnMechanic sorry for misjudging, hope yall have a good day 👍
Fair warning, this video might be exhibit 1 at her manslaughter trial.
I bought this same mower & had to return 3 of them due to leakkng oil out where dipstick attached to the engine & also 3 of them had weird spider web cracking on the side of the engine block nex to oil fill dipstick. Finally got the 4 the one but this time i got the VYA model with the blade stop & Throddle control. What a nice mower. The 170 is nice but it would just top it off more if it was the 200 even tho its probably not really needed. Just be cool is all.
@@michaeldavis6550 wow sorry you had issues now i want to go out and look at mine. Thanks for posting
@TheLawnMechanic please let me know if you see any on yours as well. I'm curious if this is a bigger issue then just a few.
My last one I received yesterday HRN 216 VYA is ok don't see cracking anywhere, Thank Goodness
I’ve been using this method all summer on my lawn and my mother in laws lawn. She has the best looking lawn in the neighborhood hands down. I plugged my entire front lawn in early May and the Bermuda plugs are super green and spreading like wildfire. Another 3-4 weeks and it will be a fully grown together lawn. One good thing to do is to keep your mower blades sharp. This will cause less stress on the lawn when growing back.
@@sheltdog8463 I love this method for saving water and also making the lawn green. It drives the roots deeper. Thanks for posting.
Literally the best part of lawn care is the mow
@@pillcosby3949 100% agree this was my family’s i reel cut 3 times a week
I prefer the fun of mowing
@@ryderalley4853 same
What brand of mower is it??
Luba 2 its a great mower for some situations
Is it cutting anything ?
Cuts often and long so it looks like not much , its in the heat and its green !!!
In mulch mode does it have grass blowing by ? I don’t think the door closes fully or it’s just my luck.
👍💪
I’m a DIV’r myself, and find the 36” leveler works just fine for me. Granted, I only have 2,800sf of lawn, but I have learned to focus on areas of 8’x8’ throughout the year. I’m more aggressive during winter as I’m able to scalp the lawn and really see what’s going on. Cheers ✌🏻
Thanks for the information !!! Have a great summer !
Did yours have the "green sticker" on the box? Apparently, there's a recall on them for a cam gear. The green sticker indicates it doesn't need the recall done. I still have my Toro Recycler Max in the box because of the handle issue. I was thinking about getting that Honda instead. How tall is your wife? Mine is 5'5".
Shes around the same hight , i love the honda . Toro on the new mowers…. i seen today the handlebars looked different. I was at ace hardware if you want to look.
I soaked for 24 hours then rinsed it off and just kept in an empty bucket with a wet towel wrapped around the bag. Worked great!
Works good when kept damp !
Reminds me of the time when Yamaha left the snowblower market in the United States . Those were great machines.
True , its not good when good products leave the market !!
I feel like I owe you an apology, even though you don't know it. For some reason this video popped up on my suggested videos, and as I hovered over it, it began to play. Some guy that sounds like one of the Soprano characters was telling me to spray baby shampoo onto my lawn to make it hydrophobic and use water more effeciently. I was laughing my head off. Right up until I Googled it and found out that you know what you're talking about. So, I'm sorry. I judged you by your accent and what you were saying without doing any kind of research. I hope you'll forgive my ignorance.
You made my day , thanks for the comment and the story. I cant drop the accent so I’m stuck with it lol thanks for jumping in hope to see you around more !!!
Could you use Dawn dish washing soap?
Yes you can !! I just feel baby soap may have less junk in it
@@TheLawnMechanic Ok, I'll try the baby soap next time ! thanks,
Nice Video - very informative. I'll give it a try. Keep em coming
Good job sir,I did the same thing down in Charlotte, it's been very dry
Thank you !
Your welcome. Did it this morning
Would love to see a before and after video please
The lawn is green , it also rained for a day so it was very affective. I have photos at the end of my short a day later
Keep up the great content, the subscriber count is climbing so that means ur doing excellent.
Thanks, will do!
I am enjoying your content. Thank you so much
Thank you !!!! I appreciate you !
Hey 👋
Hi
My sprayer did the exact same thing. I've seen another video with the exact same problem, Recall??? I was sprayed with herbicide like you. Nice video and know what I will be doing this weekend!!
@@tobylou8 its just built like junk last one I’m getting
Looks like it could've taken twice that much! 👌👍
I'm trying to take it slow, so I don't kill the grass, you are correct its nowhere near done. thanks for commenting !
you can rent lawn augers to disperse the sand..then use your drag tool there with some weight on top of it..wont take you but a couple of weekends by the look of your yard
Thank you, do you like a sand mix or topsoil sand mix?
@@TheLawnMechanic depends on your soil test and what climate you live..I'm in Appalachia and we are temparate here so I would use mix
@@lethalpixel_yt3055 Doing soil test this week I'm a little behind because I was trusting Sunday for my basic plan, and they stopped giving me one so I want to another company and it's on the way. Next week we will all know a little more. Thanks for the comments!!!
@@TheLawnMechanic subbed.. cheers
What are those hooks?
4 inch pipe hangers its in the description thanks for posting
What's the "shocking" part?
That one of the best lawn mower producer is out of the market. I was shocked !!!
Very smart invention u got there, keep up the great work
thanks
Love it. I’m definitely doing that!
Paint it red
Its curtailing North America production to satisfy the UI's who voted for O'biden and his school teacher to travel the world in a fleet of USAF aircraft and all of the corrupt money behind him, or in his case the former president who leads him around by the cuff. TRUMP 2024!
Not sure what you mean but thanks for posting .....
Could you add a part and tools please
Its in the description , thanks for posting !! If you need more help im here
I thought it came with a 3-year warranty when used residential ?
interesting you may be correct. Not sure. Thanks for posting. Im not much into warrantees some how it never works in my favor
It does, but it's such a PITA it's easier to fix it yourself than waste the time and effort. We did get what we paid for! 😉😉
@@tobylou8 true it was cheaper than some of the better brands , i guess it come with the territory.
