  • Today I mowed the lawn and cut it down from 7 to 3.5 inches in length. The Cub Cadet Ultima handled it great. I also tried the double cut trick of raising/lowering but two different methods to see if one was better than the other with such a powerful mower.

    this video was just recommended to me, i bought a new hustler fastrak and installed their mulch kit. it's leaving two strips of grass. took it to the dealer, they said it's not mowing right. they said they raised the rpm but i didn't see any change, hustler said the machine is operating normally, can you believe that crap!? i'm so pissed, i made several videos. check out the cut quality and tell me if you think it's BS or not. The dealer and hustler are now ignoring my emails.

    IMO mulching is the way to go. No clean up, no bags to empty. One thing I have personally found is getting wet grass off vinyl house siding beceause you let the mower blow all the grass at it is a PITA.

    My apologies if I missed which mulching kit you're using. I read main comments and searched this page but didn't see any specifics. I've read mixed reviews on the top mulching kits for a ZT1 50, would be great to know what you're using!

    What the square footage of your lawn? I have about 9k and not sure if I want to jump up to a rider

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say probably 7-8k. It's a huge time saver but takes a lot of garage space. I do prefer the cut though so I'm ok using up the space 🙂

      I have a Toro Timemaster which is great. I have a 19k sq foot lawn. But in the Texas heat it was really hard and took my about 80 minutes, so I got a 50 inch Toro Timecutter ZTR. Now it takes about 45 minutes. For 9k sq foot, you can't beat the Timemaster.

  • @mikehuber9433
    @mikehuber9433 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice lawn. I notice you still have yellowish hazing near the roadways. I also saw your 15 Jul 2019 video. I am new myself at lawn care, but I am thinking you may have salt build up from previous non-organic fertilizers and street salts (winter time). If it were me, I would put down some gypsum. This is only a guess without a soil test.

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it's a constant problem and we have water restrictions so on the really hot weeks we can't water to alleviate the stress. I believe it's a combo of heat, salt, the slope letting water wash away, and the sprinklers not reaching over the grass (I have 4in rotors and it got to be 7+ inches repeatedly).

    You crack me up man! Riding mower to cut the nutsEdge, awesome! Does save a lot of time, if you need to double cut though. Yes, CarbonX will cause your grass to grow, but it does help to water too, if you haven't had much rain. I wouldn't just say CarbonX makes it grow, as you need water to help it... Cmon a riding mower for your lawn, please just use the Swardman that you were given.. The riding mower is too much. Or, at least tell me your cutting the entire neighborhood with that. I'm very happy to see you drinking DD coffee. Best coffee for sure. Peace out!

    Don’t engage your blades at full throttle it’s bad for the PTO clutch. Same with disengagement.

    • @TJK0ng
      @TJK0ng 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Cub Cadet specifically says to engage the PTO at full throttle. There are several vids on TH-cam with Cub Cadet reps explaining it. The manual for this specific model on pg 14 says: "To engage the PTO:
      1. Move the throttle to the FAST position.
      2. Pull the PTO switch up/out into the ENGAGED (ON) position.
      3. To disengage the PTO, push the PTO switch down/in to the DISENGAGED
      (OFF) position."
