You have the best videos for mowing grass. For some reason I really get into it. My wife says I look like a cat watching a bird video. LOL. I'm getting ready to buy my first zero turn and I'm really looking forward to it. The cub cadet zt1 Ultima 42 inch. Thanks for the videos.
Great real time video! That was some tall stuff you were mowing through. Looking forward to seeing more of your Cheetah & of course the Dane this summer! Love your videos!
Hey Mike, Boy that Yard was Bumpy & it had a Funky Layout .... As Usual the Craftsman always does a Good Job on that Overgrown stuff 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing, I Enjoyed that 😊
Thanks for the support. Yes I understand the pulling hair out part. I had to take a brand new mower back the other day and swap it because it was already messing up.
Thanks so much for posting bud! Pro tip, that craftsman gets a lil lighter if you push down on the left side stick lol. Keep up the awesomeness! Edit: is that a vice grip holding the cable onto the drive engagement? Genius!
lol, you get an A+ for noticing that. I was wondering if anybody would notice. Yes, exactly what you said. Very expensive cable. Just buying myself some time. :)
Yes, my EGO backpack blower is still running strong after a little more than a year. It will blow off about 6 yards on one charge. Expensive sucker though. Little over $400. But I do love it!
That's the Craftsman wide cut 33" mower, but they don't make it anymore. Cub Cadet owns the design now and you want the Cub Cadet CC 800. I have one of those too. About $1300. Here it is mowing - th-cam.com/video/RuKhYq3itf4/w-d-xo.html
Oh most of mine are mowed weekly or bi-weekly. But sometimes people call out of the blue and they're overgrown like this. So I bring my camera to those.
You should always run your mower at full throttle. Air cooled engine require max throttle so they are staying cool enough. Not running at full throttle causes unnecessary stress on the engine.
Wrong. Show me the manual that says that. Why would there even be a throttle if it HAD to be at full throttle all the time. Been doing it this way for 30 years and never had an engine go. My 500V is 20 years old and runs fine. Many people say what you're saying but it's just based on assumption.
My father worked for Briggs & Stratton for many years as a trainer and salesman for their small engines. One of the main points they constantly told other mower companies was to always use full throttle when mowing because of cooling. I mean think about it, in a air-cooled engine, if it is running at a higher RPM it will cause more air to be forced over the cylinders thus having a higher cooling affect. Plus why wouldn't you run it at max throttle? you don't even get the full power out of the engine especially with all the high yards you cut and its just putting more strain on the engine. Your 500v has lasted so long simply because its a kawi. and i assume you take good care of your equipment. You can beat the shit out of any kawi engine and they last. Not trying to say you don't know what your doing by any means. I guess we just have different opinions haha. love the vids
I'm back to mowing myself it had turned warm here yet again and grass is green like usual wasps and bees seem a lot worse this year already compared to last year.
You can blow off 6 houses, with average size driveways and sidewalks. But the recharge can be done on your lunch break, only about 20 minutes. But the biggest drawback is that it can't get wet. I leave it home on rainy days.
Something 2LookAt well I could understand not using it during rain though, I do appreciate it I will have to look into getting one of those. Thank you.
Yea I took it off to mount a different bar to hold a camera. People didn't like those videos. So now I'll put it back on. I never put it up. But the thing is so big that I can't find a place to store it. So I'll put it back on the mower. :)
jkbro2012 if you mow full throttle an catch great, if discharge i could understand why but at times be cautious cuz last thing we dont want is broken glass
jkbro2012 i broke a glass about a month ago and my Toro picked it up and hit a window from a truck and i still felt bad and though it was all tooken care of
Why push a mower when you can ride if I have to push a mower first thing tell the customer no and get some one else and have a bless day . the only time I walk is using a weed eater and a blower case close. I have lawns all over hard to keep up.
And why in the world would you slow the engine down cutting grass like you’re doing.?!? Pull back on them leavers to slower down lol not the engine/blade speed 🤷🏻♂️🤪
This is a 35hp engine I believe and they go through fuel like there's no tomorrow so even on lawns like this there's really no need for full power and also they make a hell of a noise so to keep neighbours happy this is a decent option
Yes, it is a gas hog and wide open sucks the gas down, with no reason to be at full power. Also, where I throttled it way down it would have thrown grass about 20 feet into the neighbor's yard.
Everything that you do with your trimmer im leatning from you cuss my parents died cuss they never tought me anything could you be my mentor that's why i watch your video
& &o&yay was the way I can do this and it was fun to be able and I think I can do better but it doesn’t make it even better than it was so fun to get it back and then it ,

LOL, Cat watching a bird video. I like it! You will like the lawn care life. :)
Just like a Boss - great video! We want MOAR like this! Thanks for sharing with us.
I do have more like this. They are numbered. Look for number 51 .
Great real time video! That was some tall stuff you were mowing through. Looking forward to seeing more of your Cheetah & of course the Dane this summer! Love your videos!
Thanks! Cheetah just got new tires, Great Dane broke it's blade clutch. Also just shot a video with my Snapper 48. Coming soon!
Thanks for the reply, looking forward to viewing the Snapper 48 video.
Hey Mike, Boy that Yard was Bumpy & it had a Funky Layout .... As Usual the Craftsman always does a Good Job on that Overgrown stuff 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing, I Enjoyed that 😊
Yea, there was a lot of new sod and roughly graded areas. I couldn't really make this one look great. Just did what I could.
Ya !! But that’s Ok, it is what is 👍🏻 Thanks for the Response ....
Awesome job, I could watch over & over again!
I like that your just a one man show, most videos show a 3-4 man crew. You show you don't need all that .
I’m am trying to start my own business. I really like your videos. Keep up the good work.
You can do it Bryce! 👍
It is fun experience but it can make you want to pull you're hair out at times.
Thanks for the support. Yes I understand the pulling hair out part. I had to take a brand new mower back the other day and swap it because it was already messing up.
Thanks so much for posting bud! Pro tip, that craftsman gets a lil lighter if you push down on the left side stick lol. Keep up the awesomeness! Edit: is that a vice grip holding the cable onto the drive engagement? Genius!
lol, you get an A+ for noticing that. I was wondering if anybody would notice. Yes, exactly what you said. Very expensive cable. Just buying myself some time. :)
Joshua Pearson I noticed the vice grips at first I thought it was part of the mower until I got a closer look.
Like a surgeon with a scalpel....great job!
Thanks!
Love all your video's...lol this was my 1st time ever seeing you run out of cord.....
That push mower is a beast!!!
Ain't it though? Yea, and it's 11 years old!
Cool video man. keep up the great work on the yards!!
So glad to see you are posting again!
Lol thought you nailed the guys bush on the front walk. Big weed. Like the vice grip on the mower. You don't wear eye or ear protection? Nice cut.
lol, yes. Vice Grips should be added to the list of instant solutions along with duct tape and WD-40. :)
I love The REAL-TIME Videos.
great video. i noticed you were using a battery backpack blower how do you like it. i was thinking of looking into getting one.
Yes, my EGO backpack blower is still running strong after a little more than a year. It will blow off about 6 yards on one charge. Expensive sucker though. Little over $400. But I do love it!
What’s the name of that walk behind mower your using? And what’s the price
That's the Craftsman wide cut 33" mower, but they don't make it anymore. Cub Cadet owns the design now and you want the Cub Cadet CC 800. I have one of those too. About $1300. Here it is mowing - th-cam.com/video/RuKhYq3itf4/w-d-xo.html
"How satisfying do you want this to be?”
"Yes please!”
Iam Addicted to videos so satisfied.
Awesome!
have you replaced the rear tires after idk....4,5 years or 6 years of this machine?
Yes. I replaced the rear tires about 2 years ago. I did it myself and made a video on it.
i am 13 years old and I like your vids (:
Thanks for sharing with us. How tall do you usually mawn ?
Oh most of mine are mowed weekly or bi-weekly. But sometimes people call out of the blue and they're overgrown like this. So I bring my camera to those.

I'm back to mowing myself it had turned warm here yet again and grass is green like usual wasps and bees seem a lot worse this year already compared to last year.
Yea we're starting to see the wasps too. It'll only get worse as we go...
How much was this cut? I’d think it would be on the expensive side with the grass that high
Now THAT’S a lawnmower!!
Look at you being all nice and stuff not throwing long old grass clippings all over the neighbors yard
lol, I wish the neighbors were as nice to me. :)
Great work man as always. So how are you liking the electric leaf blower? Seams like it does pretty good
I do like the EGO blower. It's about 1 year and 4 months old, still going strong. Excellent product.
Something 2LookAt I had seen one but never thought about it really. Thank you. So about how long does it last before you have to recharge?
You can blow off 6 houses, with average size driveways and sidewalks. But the recharge can be done on your lunch break, only about 20 minutes. But the biggest drawback is that it can't get wet. I leave it home on rainy days.
Something 2LookAt well I could understand not using it during rain though, I do appreciate it I will have to look into getting one of those. Thank you.
how long have you had your scag?
I believe this is the 6th year. Nothing's broke yet!
He chewed up that stone walkway using that steel blade edger! Wow
How’s the kawi FX 921v in terms of fuel consumption?
It's an 850V actually, and it's a gas hog. This is another reason you'll often see me running at half throttle.
This stuff is satisfying to whatch
what height did you mow this lawn at? Just curious
Thx
I think that was at 3.5 inches.
How Many hours do you have on that beast?(cheetah)
I think it's about 1100
Just noticed you've taken the ROPS off didn't see that in the last vid
Yea I took it off to mount a different bar to hold a camera. People didn't like those videos. So now I'll put it back on. I never put it up. But the thing is so big that I can't find a place to store it. So I'll put it back on the mower. :)
35:38 - what is that on the fence??
It's a lizard. They're everywhere down here.
Think about how many bugs were in that tall grass saying oh shit
I need a truck, trailer, push mower and a trimmer to start lawn care business
do u ever worry heavy grass like that running it low could choke the mower
Oh no, not at all. Very strong mower.
Something 2LookAt but i just dont understand y people dont mow on full throttle. I always mow on full throttle
jkbro2012 if you mow full throttle an catch great, if discharge i could understand why but at times be cautious cuz last thing we dont want is broken glass
edboy343 cut grass i have never broken any glass while mowing
jkbro2012 i broke a glass about a month ago and my Toro picked it up and hit a window from a truck and i still felt bad and though it was all tooken care of
Wonder why he edges before he mows? I seldom do that.
The weeds kicked up from edging is mulched with the grass he is cutting. It does make sense. Less mess as well.
$60 or $75 cut?
Why push a mower when you can ride if I have to push a mower first thing tell the customer no and get some one else and have a bless day . the only time I walk is using a weed eater and a blower case close. I have lawns all over hard to keep up.
The big one wouldn't fit through the gate.
I wish you could do our property!! Our lawn guy is AWFUL!!! He takes forever and 1/2 the time doesn’t show up!! 😡 🤦🏼♀️
I think I know that guy. :)
When you mow, why do you mow randomly instead of a back and forth or side to side pattern? You are all over the place.
It's because I'm filming, trying to keep the mower in the frame. Sorry.
And why in the world would you slow the engine down cutting grass like you’re doing.?!? Pull back on them leavers to slower down lol not the engine/blade speed 🤷🏻♂️🤪
Something 2LookAt No need to apologize. Your clients apparently don't mind so keep doing what you do. I was just wandering why.
This is a 35hp engine I believe and they go through fuel like there's no tomorrow so even on lawns like this there's really no need for full power and also they make a hell of a noise so to keep neighbours happy this is a decent option
Yes, it is a gas hog and wide open sucks the gas down, with no reason to be at full power. Also, where I throttled it way down it would have thrown grass about 20 feet into the neighbor's yard.
Why don’t you use a guard on your week wacker
To get into tighter spaces.
This place gives me the creeps. I was expecting something or someone to come out if that shed 😱😱
hehe, me too on some of these...
Why would anyone point the discharge onto the sidewalk and street that’s pretty stupid to make more work for yourself
36:26 LOL
Everything that you do with your trimmer im leatning from you cuss my parents died cuss they never tought me anything could you be my mentor that's why i watch your video
Glad I could help. I don't always do everything right, and I fool around a lot. But I hope you can learn something from what you see. :)
lawn care ASMR
Yes!
your suppose to redline it ;)
No. We've discussed this. We have never found documentation stating that.
& &o&yay was the way I can do this and it was fun to be able and I think I can do better but it doesn’t make it even better than it was so fun to get it back and then it ,
