Mowing Season 2024 Is Here - A Day On The Grillo Climber

Mowing season 2024 is finally here!!
As things are getting back into full swing due to the warmer weather with plenty of rain, the grass is growing at such a rate we struggle to keep up!
Here is a little Saturday job we did and I felt this was a good opportunity to give a bit of a demonstration on the Grillo Climber 7 Series and how it can perform in long, wet grass.
I used to use cylinder flail mowers in the past for my brush clearing works and decided to swap over to the Grillo around 3 years ago, and it was the best decision I made.
The Grillo by far is a much more versatile machine when it comes to what you can do with it. Although the flail mowers were fantastic at clearing/mulching brush and dense vegetation, they were no good whatsoever for long grass. I always found that long grass would just wrap itself around the cylinders, leading to a stalled and matted mess!
The grillo on the other hand works just as well in long grass as it does in brush! Surprisingly the finish is pretty good too! Another bonus is that the Grillo has a larger cutting width than a lot of the cylinder flails and on a job such as this, it really helps! Another big bonus is speed..... You can cover much more ground in a shorter period of time with the Grillo than what you could with a typical walk-behind pedestrian flail mower, thus making it much more financially efficient which in its own right makes it even better!
the Grillo really is a very capable, versatile, low-impact machine that I absolutely love and have never looked back on the decision to purchase it, and it has certainly earned its keep.
I hope you enjoyed this video and were able to get a decent representation on its capabilities!
Thankyou so much for watching!

Good job. I'd be real happy with how nice you fixed that property up. I've never seen one of those here on the other side of the pond in the states (I'm in the mountains of North Carolina). Seems like it would be great for a rural property where you don't need a tractor. Or a good companion to a tractor on a larger property. I mow about 10 acres on my property. To different standards of course, some annually and some weekly and everything in between. Intentionally not mowing some areas regularly for pollinator/small game habitat, for example. I am looking for something to mow weird areas, steep, small, wet, or just hard to get to. Was watching videos about Grillo walking tractors and found your video. Thanks for posting it.

Hi and thank you for your comment, I apologize for the delay in responding!
Thank you, I really appreciate that! these honestly are fantastic little machines that are incredibly versatile and often get overlooked. I know over here there are numerous brands that manufacture and offer similar pieces of equipment, I'm not sure about availability on your side of the pond (Which is beautiful by the way, I have family in SC and we often travel up to NC to visit my aunts family in Appalachia and Boone county) but I know that Iseki and I believe Stiga have something similar.
The biggest plus point for this is that it is low impact on the ground so does not churn up the grass or dirt and is a very narrow access machine, yet it has the capability of something much larger. It allows you to perform jobs that would once of required a small tractor and mulcher but with the access capabilities and delicate nature of a ride-on lawn mower!
I have owned and operated various other types of brushcutting and mulching machines and once I purchased this, I sold the lot! I absolutely love it and the capabilities of the machine are incredible, I will be posting another video fairly soon of a project I worked on where the area we were cutting was around 5ft tall in most places! It just seems to eat whatever you throw at it.
Previous equipment that I owned seemed to have certain things that they were good at but were not able to cope with everything, such as my pedestrian flail mowers. They were fantastic for brush such as bracken, nettle's etc but could not cope with things like long grass or bramble as it just used to choke the flail drum so I had to take multiple pieces of equipment to one job in order to complete it, whereas the Grillo there has not been a single thing I have tried to cut with it where it let me down!
Thank you again for your kind words and comments.
Take care
Josh
