- We are a local lawn and landscaping company based out of Freeburg IL. Family owned/operated and started from the ground up. My brother (Nic) and I (Alex) are doing our best to build a company we will be happy to work in. It has been an adventure and a struggle at times but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! We began our journey on youtube to document our company history and we would be happy to have you along for the ride! We have big dreams and have hardly scratched the surface of where we want to be.

My tiger cat with clamshell has 1750 hrs on it. Still works like new.
Looks like a great addition to your business.
Blades of Grass Lawn Care, LLC it has been amazing so far!!
@@nickenslandscapingexcavating I'm thinking of ditching my walker for one do you think I'm crazy?
We have 75 accounts and the walker is always breaking
wow... that thing stripes nice even when sucking up leaves!
Daniel Couturier yes it does!
I love that Machine. soon my business will be big enough to allow me to get one. That bagging system is just so convenient. Love the videos. This season I will be branching off on my own super excited but nervous.
dont let nervous keep you in the quick sand let the quality do the talking. Be yourself.
Congratulations on 9K! Great video man
How much is the clamshell? If it over $3k, it should be able to dump the bucket vs opens the door only.
Your yard is looking good!
That's a great machine. I have the cheetah with the same clam shell bagger. Works great but be careful with a bunch of leaves. If ya let it clog it will wear out the belt prematurely and at 30 bucks a pop that belt gets expensive LOL
The belts are $15 at tractor supply. And for me they last as long as the Scag belt
@@wasteoftime727 Thanks I'll check that out.
jim co thanks for the heads up! Glad to hear you like yours 👍🏼
Nice. My only complaint with the impellar bagging is sand! Less than a year after purchasing mine in 2011 it split in two from sandy yards! Gets sand blasted right through. There is a duct tape to fix that problems too :)
Does the sand effect the Feed tube or the actual hopper ?
Frank Towles are you located in the south? We don’t have much sand around here but that is interesting 👍🏼
@@ronhart4166 Not a problem for me.
@@nickenslandscapingexcavating Lot's of sandy yards down south here in Columbia SC, I have too many of them.
He'll of a mower I messed with the baffle and put eliminator blades on mine but all I have is a accelerator bagger but it gets the job done.
Norman Clevenger II very nice! Glad to hear you like yours! And your making it happen 👊🏼
Nice Job 👍🏽
Thank you!
Hey Alex I want to tell you now that you have the bagging system for the leaves you should switch ur blades to gator bleeds.if u haven't already. It mulches it up really good. then you could fit more in your bag.
Gregorio Santiago gator blades are fine for dry leaves, but for leaves that have been rained on an stuck to the ground you need high lift blades. Gators don't have enough suction.
@@ruthford112 Hey I never tried high lift blades. I'm not give them a try this season. thanks for the info
I love your flag.Can you tells us how much that grass catcher cost?Thank you for the video.
The grass catcher was like $4,000 but that was a few years ago. Probably $5,000 now
That thing is an animal!
what does this mower (with bagger and weights) weigh? What is the width/length of unit? Can the roll bar be removed or is it necessary to have bagger equipped?
Looking good
BMORE BIRDS Thank you! I thought so too
So where are guys located? Im out of Spokane Washington.
Mitch Snyder Freeburg, IL
Nice mower👍🏾what brand sulky you have for your Ferris walk behind? What Shute blocker you are using on the Ferris walk ?
Grassology4610 thank you! Wright x2 velke and grass flap chute blocker
I thought y’all were seriously downsizing your mowing operations? Has that changed with this new investment?
Stripes up nice.You are too busy taking care of clients yard don’t sweat it you’ll get to yours soon.
That's why I subscribed to you. If your viewers request something you supply it. Respect. How do you like it? Plan on keeping the Z2 And wb?
You should of used a lawn that had more leaves, we really can't see how good it works.
Alex do you guys get a premium on bagging service. Or is it included on your summer lawns ? We go year around here in Florida and I like to charge a premium on bagging. So I was curious how you "snowbirds" handle it 🤣 Also what crops grow around your property ? Your property would look great bordered in some type of Evergreen 👍🌲
Ron Hart we do not bag in the summer. For fall the price is just based on size and amount of leaves
Alex we are the same here with not bagging. It is best to mulch grass back into the soil. We have mostly Bahia and Augustine Grasses with a few Zoysia lawns. Mid summer the Augustine and Zoysia yards get a little thick and create excess layover. So every now and then someone will ask me to bag. I have an "Accelerator" bagger that I sometimes have to use. It does a good job but it feels up to fast. It is no big deal to double or TRIPLE cut the small cookie cutter yards. But you really feel it on the larger 1 acre lots. So a bagger like this would be nice. But the prices on these things are steep. So this is where the question about what you charge comes from. I was thinking something like say a 60.00 lawn would cost you per say 90.00 if you had to bag. Just trying to get a fill on what others do or think. 👊
U still happy with it scag tiger cat
Which engine does your TC2 have?? 61 or 52” deck? Looks like the tiger cat handles the clamshell aright. I’ve always wondered how it would being the tiger cat has a little bit smaller sized frame and foot print compared to the turf tiger and cheetah
Did this get answered? Is this is a52 or 61 and what size engine?
I see from the video it’s a 52 but still wonder how big the engine is and if the bagger chokes at all with it
What does that set up run as far as cost? I’m interested in getting the same set up
Mark vaars check with your local dealer. It varies so much from state to state 👍🏼
Mark vaars somewhere around $3k
Somewhere around the $13.5k mark.
👍
J's Crazy Cutz, LLC 👍🏼
scags not my first choice but god damn i might be sold just for that bagging system , the shit i could get done with that alone is unreal
Is that a 52”?
Hello. What are those black things on the front of your machine?
Counter weights
You need some grass seed lots of bald spots lol
I am sure it's hard to get under low branches with that bag
those pretty scag stripes...

No offense but you are a pro and the video does not due. Any justice to the mower you’re one handing it! And you run a round in a circle. On a yard that clearly doesn’t need to be cut. And pov shot you’re not even showing how beautiful the Tiger Cat 2 is. I had that same year set up with Kohler command pro 52” and a stripe kit on it for my one acre yard. Over kill. Yes but that mower flys first of all it has Parker pumps w/ separate wheel motor’s you want to talk about classy. Responsive Ii had 3 badboy mower’s and a gravely. Needless to say nothing touches the tiger cat 2 for that price. I think I paid 10200.00 for the scag with the stripper installed. Now the clamshell is another 5300.00 and some change. But unless you go with the turf tiger2 and a 61” deck and the kobota diesel. J/s like I said show the mower in your next video. Plz I’ll watch for it.
