When I set mine up I removed all the wheels one by one to grease the shafts on the front wheels and grease the bearings on the rear wheels . As it is not greased from factory . Also put some on all the nuts bolts springs and pins . Love the mower it’s converted me from petrol mowers forever more
I've read reviews where users express concerns about the blades cutting into the walls of the casing when crabbing (applying sideways pressure when turning etc) due to the flexibility of the plastic blade casing. Have you noticed any such problems? Does the inside of the blade casing show any signs of the blades having scored it? Cheers
It's still fantastic. I love it! No fuel, heaps of power, does the job. They even make a great 18V version now which is almost identical so if you want to use 36V or 18V batteries it's totally up to you (plus the newer versions look better too). The new versions also have a slightly better catcher system. All in all, a great machine.
@@Mydadsshed no problem. The fly is actually a real photo of the biggest fly I've ever seen in my life about 10 years ago. It was so big and colourful I had to get a photo. And being so unique, unlike any I'd seen before, I had to put it on my TH-cam page. Glad you like it!
Hi there. Great video - thanks. I'm looking at upgrading from my 18V Ryobi. Have you had any problems with the catcher not catching grass properly, or clogging? (Some people complain of the grass chute to the catcher being to small / narrow)
If it's wet it can clog. Over time I have noticed because I have thick grass and cut it so low it does struggle to catch and I get a small trail of grass behind the mower to one side. I do believe it's more because I cut so low on level 2 and it is very short. But I have seen the new 36v ryobi mower has a better catcher design and looks even more tough and rugged. It's the one that has the 2 batteries option. So you can run with one or two 36v batteries. I would definitely get that one.
@@Joelyabbadoo FYI - as per your advice I have just purchased the 36V 46cm 2 Battery model, & done my 1st cut on a long & thick lawn. I was a little reluctant, as it was a couple of Hundred dollars more than I wanted to spend, but Im very glad I spent the extra. It cuts through thick grass a breeze, & catches very well. I found the "smart mode" works very well, & the mower is worth it for this feature alone. Mowing the lawns is now enjoyable again. Anyway - I just wanted to say thanks again for your prompt reply, and for the excellent advice you gave me. Much appreciated.
Great review, thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for the detailed review. Was very useful, as im thinking of getting the same.
Did you get one MR? How is it after a year?. cheers

Nice one. I agree, for home use I'll never buy a petrol mower again.
Cheers cob. good thinkin'

Cheers. Any chance of how its doing after a year? Those side clips look like theyd "grab" tree branches/bushes.

@@Joelyabbadoo Appreciate it. Haha love your Blu-ass fly.
