There’s always time in the spring when it’s unavoidable to mow some wet grass. My grass is weedy and grows an inch a day easily. This tip with the multi scrapper blade is a good idea. Thanks. One other thing I’ve learned is in the late fall if you have leaves to mow, before I quit mowing for the season, I mow a bunch of leaves and the leaves basically clean the deck like sand blasting. Spay underneath with some silicone to coat and ready for the next mowing season.
Yes I like to use fluid film under my deck. It helps with the rusting and helps with scraping the deck. 👍🏼
Great advice! I use a 3 foot piece of 1-1/4 PVC pipe with a cap on one end, the other end is cut at a sharp angle to remove the bulk of the clippings and to clear the chute if it gets clogged while mowing. I also use a small mason's trowel and a painter's multi scraper for the detail work.
Thanks appreciate it. Someone else commented about using a mason trowel because of the point. Definitely gonna try one for sure!!
I use a pressure washer gutter cleaning attachment to spray under deck after mowing. Works great!
Gotta be careful with high pressure water on sealed bearings. If water gets in there then it will rust it out and you won’t know it until it cracks. Had that happen to a push mower!! I do clean my mowers once a year but hose water is enough to clean it.
How about a power washer to get that !!!
@@vyger6336 not good to use high pressure water on sealed bearings. A hose yes pressure washer I am not too big of a fan of it. You get water in a sealed bearing and it’s a problem waiting to happen. Just my opinion
@@TheLawnFellas I see your point and thanks..didn't think about those bearings that we can't grease with the grease fitting that the MFG So thoughtfully supplied ..LOL
@@vyger6336 lol yea for sure!!!
I don't miss having to scrape a mower deck not one bit!😂😂
True story 😂😂😂 but it’s gotta be done at some point.
@@TheLawnFellas better you than me bro!🤣🤣👊🏿
@@NewVisionLCS hahahah I hear ya for sure 😂😂
We always cut grass in the afternoon. It is still pretty juicy. You can tell by how green it is around the chute. I have three ditches to cut, and two of them drain sump pumps, which run for days after every rain. So the ditches are rarely dry. Of course, that is where the grass grows the fastest.
Yea this stuff cakes on!! It’s starting to dry out here now, it’s usually every other week scraping the decks.
That’s the best way I know to scratch and remove the paint from under the deck and make it rust lol
Guarantee with any scraper you will do you same thing. lol
So glad our Bermuda grass is really dry and does not stick to the deck. We only have to scrape once per week if we cut into some really thick weeds.
Lucky you lol. Yea it’s every day or every other day during the spring!! It calms down in the summer for the most part.
Great video love that hoodie I love their boots but they don’t have my size in the hoodie I hate scraping the deck
Their boots are awesome!! I want those Carolina blue slip-on shoes. I have their all black shoes also. Yea this is the ugly part of lawncare business!!
When I lived in Florida the deck hardly ever got grass stuck in it. But the sandy soil is murder on the blades, totally eats them up. Here in Missouri well that's a different story, i get a lot stuck underneath. I have 2 old hacksaw blades i use for scraping, they are about 1 1/2 wide with no teeth on them. I got them from work way before I retired. I also run Gator blades, i find they cut better. I have a Gravelly commercial zero turn since 2014 great mower. Wanted a Scag but was talked out of.
@@jakeschisler7525 I can imagine what sand does to blades. I seen people’s videos on that, eats them alive. I only see a handful of Scags in my area. It’s Toro, Exmark, or Ferris mainly. This time of the year it being dry not so much scraping. April, May, and Usually June the decks are caked with grass. Another person said try to use a pointed concrete trowel.
I use a scraper blade in a little Saw saw it works great
What kind of saw?? I seen someone put a razor into the multi tool to cut stuff.
Nice, gonna try this out with my M18 oscillating tool! Have you ever tried a turbo nozzle with a pressure washer after taking the whole deck off? I have a smaller zero turn with a 42" deck (I just use it on my 1 acre property). Every time I'm done mowing, I connect the garden hose to the washing port on the top of the deck, spin the blades, and it cleans out most of the grass. Some grass residue always stays stuck, so I have to scrape it off, tediously, when I sharpen the blades every few months. I figure a pressure washer turbo nozzle directly pointed at the deck will do a better job, but I haven't tried it yet.
It would work but you gotta be careful with sealed bearings. If you get water in there it’s gonna rust out. I prefer just to wash the deck with light pressure and continue to scrape it. 👍🏼
2 1/2" square mason's trowel works great. offset handle works well
I was gonna say that point and the offset handle would definitely work. Gonna have to try that. Is the trowel flexible?
Yes it's flexable. N
arrower, 1 1/2" may work better to get around the bolts
@@ChuckYueckstock definitely gonna give it a try for sure 👍🏼
I use a wire brush on my bench grinder to clean my blade before sharpening.
That works great also!!
You are mowing grass that is too long and too wet.
Unfortunately I can’t mow customers grass every other day. I mow weekly. The grass here grows quickly and sometime the morning has the usual morning dew. 👍🏼
10 minutes I'll never get back
Thanks for watching for 10 min. Appreciate it. It’s actually a helpful video to people maybe just not to you.
I have been mowing grass for over 60 years, and I have NEVER had to scrape under my mower deck. Why? Because I don't mow wet grass.
Lucky you but Unfortunately I can’t pick and choose when I mow. Where I live the tall fescue and Kentucky blue grass can get tall very quickly and retain water even on dry days. So when I have to close my chute around beds and other areas, I can’t help but get grass under my deck.
I can't wait until 9 or 10 in the morning for the dew to evaporate to start mowing.
@@johnossendorf9979 exactly!! Then when you go around someone’s mulch bed and have to close the chute the grass just packs in. 👍🏼
@@TheLawnFellas I have never had a chute to close.
@@johnossendorf9979 speeds up your mowing time. Less blowing out in certain areas. It allows you to mow in several directions. Instead of avoiding beds with your chute side you can keep your pattern. 👍🏼
