    im 29 about to be 30 in 2 months , i wanna say Thank you so much for teaching this ole boy how to fire up a rider mower , cause all my life i never learned to use a rider , so last saturday i fired up my rider the way you did sir , not only did i mow the yard , i managed to go from uncut yard to 4 turn speed track , then 30 minutes later after i mowed both sides of my yard i spent an extra 20 to 30 having an absolute blast of a time dialing in 7 to 10 laps around the yard , then yesterday i dialed in more laps in my 4 turn speed track yard

    This has been very helpful, thank you. Grew up with brothers that did the yardwork. Now as single mom learning this is intimidating.

    Thanks for the very clear video. This is great for a teenager trying a riding lawn mower for the first time. Or, uh, a married 32 year old mom who has never had to mow the grass before 😅

    57 year old Granny here, learning new things. Thank you for giving a clear and concise guide to a riding lawn mower. Hubby has had a stroke and yard work is beyond him at this point. I'll be thinking of you as I tame my yard...and save the $300 per month a lawn service wants to charge me!

    My dad had to leave to help a cousin, leaving me to try to keep up with his lawn and garden. The lawn needs mowed but his riding mower is scary. Thank you so very much for making and posting this video. Words cannot express my gratitude.

    Absolutely love this kinda content. There are so many people out there that are unfamiliar with and intimidated by doing these types of things that most of us take for granted. Your unbiased and non-judgmental approach is a much needed breath of fresh air on this platform. Thank you for just being a helpful person.

    Thank you for your motivating and instructive video. Just turned 76 years young and have done maintenance on our mowers but never any cutting. Hubby has had a sudden mobility problem so I am in the seat now. Your video is excellent for someone like me. I had never even started a mower. I know that my husband possibly could have shown me, but he is irritated that he is unable to do the mowing and he was not in teaching mode. You said "and these things are fun to drive!" YES

  • @tekknorat
    @tekknorat ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This is golden. Very good and clear information. I'm about to purchase this kind of machine. I don't have car, and probably never will, but this video helped me understand the basics, so it won't be a problem to learn to drive this thing. Thank You.

    I am a 70 year old widow that just bought a house after years of renting. Also bought a John Deere L118 mower that runs for $300. Thank you for this video. The last riding mower I used was about a 1979 Dynamark, so it’s been awhile. This video was very helpful. I also love your sentiments at the end. I AM enough! I can do this!

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My dad just had surgery and I moved back home for a couple of months to help out while he's recovering. I've always used an electric push mower at my own house so my dad's gas-powered riding mower is a little intimidating. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

  • @vbrimme
    @vbrimme 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Fantastic video start to finish. Growing up my dad and my older brother always mowed the lawn so I never learned how. Now that I’m 30 and own my own home, it’s something I need to know. I’m happy you were kind enough to make this video and help out some people like me!

  • @stephanieg4114

    I am not sure why, but I am terrified of it! Going to get on it and drive around for a little while...great suggestion. I got mine with a bagger...anything different I should be doing?

    I see you do the square method sometimes. You drive it straight, turn left or right, go straight again, and then turn left or right until you find yourself in the middle of the square. Back and forth takes longer, especially with a pusher or self-propelled, but people love to get those yard lines

    Thank you for this. I’m upgrading from a walk behind to a lawn tractor and was a little intimidated. Your video alleviated most of my concerns, but tackling the hills on my property with a riding mower might be similar to a spin on Mr Toad’s Wild Ride. 🤣

    Im going too purchase one. Id probably get an air compressor and blow out all that excess grass around the blades and on the lawn mower itself. I know nobody is going too speed mow their grass but approximately how fast do these go? Id imagine they atleast do 7-15mph lol.. also if your not mechanically inclined like myself where would i get the lawn mower air filter and oil filters from ad well as where would i get my maintenance done at? I dont own a truck so not sure how i would get this thing too a shop for an oil change and regular maintenance..

    I was planning to buy a rider mower. I have no idea how to operate it. Im a woman and i cut my grass. I have an Ego power + self propelled mower but due to my foot hurting now i was planning to get one. But stupid question what kind of gas you use on this and where do i buy them? Thanks

    • @smashengineeringoffical

    Just got one. No where near intimidating but deff want to know the most effective way of cutting the lawn. But ever video is a how to do a walk around. I deff save time with a riding mower but I now have to rake up after. Even with mulching blades. I think its because I'm not going in the correct pattern.

  • @jimrenner9401
    @jimrenner9401 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    WRONG WRONG WRONG
    You NEVER cut with the uncut grass to the right of the mower while you are cutting. Always cut with the discharge chute blowing cut grass OVER the already cut lawn. It’s common sense. I’m watching my 2 neighbored right now going around with the chute facing into the tall grass…. Idiots
