  • In this video i show and explain how this Reel Mower is a step above the rest. In the UK there are chemical restrictions that keep them from using what we use here in America. The process Ill be showing you is the first part of a process that Roland Hall from Allett mowers has been teaching me. Also check out the link below for Horizon which is where i bought my mower from. Dont forget to SUBSCRIBE and stay tuned for more updates on this process and this reel mower. Thank you!

      @@YardEnvy I just purchased the Liberty after watching a few of your vids and having a 20min talk with Roland. Allett seems to have a plan for non chemical lawn care but it requires plenty of cutting and Scarifying... so I got the scarifier attachment.

    When you scarifier you need to pass horizontal vertical and diagonal in both directions before you cut your strips.

      The Kawasaki engine purrs, I've got both a model with the Kawasaki engine and one with the original Tecumseh engine and have used ones with the Honda engine and they're all quite different but all work well. The Tecumseh engine is like the Harley Davidson, long stroke thumper but sounds just soooo nice on tickover however needs tinkering with more often where as both the Kawa' and the Honda just work every time. If I had to pick between the 3 I'd pick the Kawa' engine, it runs like a sewing machine, starts every time, has lovely quick pickup and a sweet sound. The Honda is equally reliable (it's a Honda!) and you wouldn't have issues with either the H or the K.

I've backlapped it twice in one year and about to do my third. And yes it turns really good! The rear roller is split so it rotates really good.

      I've had mine almost a year and the build quality is second to none. These mowers are just recently making it to the US. This mower brand is well respected and has received awards from the queen of england. In fact Alletts are used on some major league shorts fields in the MLB and NFL. Swardsman can't say any of that 👍.

    • @YardEnvy
      @YardEnvy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would recommend your first cartridges should be the scarifier and depending on what grass you have determines what is the next most important cartridge. The scarifier/turf rake is the single most important cartridge and if used regularly thatch won't even become a problem.

      Mulching can be good. Thatch is a build up of too much material that is not decaying fast enough due to lack of micro organisms to break it down. It just needs to be monitored 👍

      Yes, I am still very happy with my purchase. Great machine!! I'm the beginning I was scarifying 3 times a week. Once I got most of the debris out of the canopy. Once you notice that you can see your soil in between the grass you can slack off to once a week or needed for debris in the yard.

      @@erics6163 yes, it will stress out tall fescue if you get it to low in the summer. But you can do it slowly and watch it closely and if it starts to turn brown I wouldn't cut it any lower. I wouldn't cut tall fescue lower than 1.5 inches or maybe 2 inches. That grass is suppose to be tall. Hints the name tall fescue. Perennial Rye grass or Kentucky blue grass would be a good grass if you want to cut low.

    • @andysparks8245
      @andysparks8245 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@YardEnvy Hi again, I appreciate your prompt reply but still beg to differ. I've used the QX cassette system for 25yrs and it works best on the S setting if you really want all the debris removing however I'd recommend cutting the grass slightly shorter than usual before doing it and then cut it again at the same height after scarifying. Another top tip for you is if you're going to scarify twice, and I recommend you do, the second time run the machine at 90 degrees across the lawn to the 1st pass and also run a little oil on the threads of those 6 bolts each time you swap.
      A bit of background on the system…. The QX system was developed by Atco Qualcast back in the mid 90s, this was the largest lawnmower manufacturer here in the UK, very popular and in fact my own Atco Balmoral model is the exact same mower as your Allett Kensington only you have the latest gen Honda engine. Allett started making copies of all the Atco Qualcast range in 2011 (quite legally, they bought the rights to do so). Atco Qualcast was bought by Bosch and subsequently fell off a cliff leaving Allett in a very good position.
      Congratulations though, you’ve bought yourself a very good mower and I like your videos.

    • @brianjenkyn8348
      @brianjenkyn8348 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I own a Balmoral and would endorse Andy’s commentary with one small but important proviso. When scarifying at the ‘S’ setting raise the Comb up to the highest position otherwise it will ground. Of course reset the comb when you return to the cutting cassette and set it just below the level of the bottom blade as prescribed by Allett. Happy Mowing!

I'm lookn for a good reel mower and I like the allett. When can the scarifier be used on new sod? When can I fertilize again if I put it down 6 days ago? I used PGF CV complete. I saw it on how to wit doc.

    • @YardEnvy
      @YardEnvy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would not use the scarifier on it until mid to late summer. That will give the grass time to get some well established roots. That PGF complete is a good fertiliser and should feed the grass for about 8 weeks. The longer it is out the less it feeds. Also the more rain or water that is falling on that grass will dilute the fertiliser with time. Bermuda grass loves to be fertilised so personally I would give it another dose in 30 days.
