@@StumpGrindingGirl thanks for watching!

@@StumpGrindingGirl great question! My machine before this was a zt1844 (the precursor to the sg40) and had tracks. I pork ably would have gotten this one in tracks had my dealer had one but this was the only 2550 they had received from bandit in 3 years, and it was ordered 3 years earlier. There are pros and cons to each. Tracks offer less ground pressure on lawns but you if you’re not careful you can ruin lawns by turning too quickly. The trade off is even though I have 4x4 on this machine, it is easier to get stuck in the mud. I do enjoy turning easier on lawns though but I will say if you go tired machines make sure they are foam filled tires and 4x4. I definitely want the sg75 like you have. Thanks for watching!

@@hoopaholicstickum definitely! It depends on what the customer wants. It doesn’t show completely well on camera but I always leave ones like these a little high to allow it to settle. Depending on what the customer wants I compact them a little more using the weight of the machine running over it but in this case the customer wanted to plant another tree there so a lot of compaction wasn’t necessary. I do advise customers who just want to leave it to settle that after grid grinding to let it sit for at least a week (longer the better of course) and then they can start to work with it. In other cases sometimes they want it completely mound up or they will take it out and fill it with topsoil and I won’t even bother leveling it. Thanks for watching!

@@darwindropmazda I can’t say if it’s quieter than others or if that mix doesn’t do a great job fully capturing the sound. It’s a 49hp Kubota diesel. Thanks for watching!

@AdrianNordli-Hansen what do you mean by the civil?

@@upscalelawncaremonroe408 thank you!

@@michaelwillcutt2619 honestly haven’t run echo saws. I’m thinning out the saws I have though down to Stihl. I prefer them myself but I have also had some bad ones over the years. I personally think they all make good stuff but stick to one brand as it just makes things so much easier. Thanks for watching!

@@201emmy probably the Stihl 500i (not in this video). The first and only electronic fuel injected saw on the market. It is a beast. Thanks for watching!

@@201emmy thank you for watching!

@@joenissan yeah I love mine. Thanks for the info on the spray! I actually put some on the terminal then out my connections on then sprayed again. Though thinking through it now you probably don’t want that spray between the terminal and cable so it makes a better connection. Knock on wood the truck hasn’t given me any more issues but I did have to have the starter replaced. There is a video I posted talking about that.

@@201emmy glad you enjoyed it!

@@danielpadgett2831 good questions! This one came from our local cub cadet dealer not Home Depot. For context this machine was about $3,000 USD brand new from the cub cadet dealer. The “same mower” could have been bought from Home Depot at the same time for about $1,500 USD or basically half the price. How could that be? Cub cadet, John Deere, all of the brands you can get from the big box stores use slightly different motors (identical from the outside but HP could be different and internals are different. If you look at the deck quality you will notice slightly thinner steel, and little things like that that all over these machines justify the price difference. If you ever get the chance check the machine at your local Home Depot against the one from your local dealer and if you look closely, you can see the difference. That isn’t to say the ones in the big box stores are junk, just that they are built different.

@@GritnGrind4256 i have a 2015 cub cadet rztl 54in bought new from tractor supply payed 3100 out the door and as far as home depot or any other box store around me never seen any lawn tractor around brand new for no 1500 so i guess they given them away where you from. Oh i got i think like 375hrs. On mine and i love it

@@danielpadgett2831 interesting. Around me they have always been about half the price of the dealer. But yeah I loved this one it always worked well for me. I just inherited a commercial mower when my uncle passed away and it is way better built for the land I have that it made sense to keep that one. Cub cadet makes great machines!

@@junksquad thank you for watching! I’ll never stop lol 😂

@@junksquad thanks for watching! I’ll never stop lol 😂

@@TimE_5150 I do think they have longer or shorter handles but don’t quote me. I could see it being a bit short at times. Other than that, how do you like it?

@@GritnGrind4256 going to use this weekend. Just moved 10 yards of top soil for level out my lawns after removing (2) extremely large oak trees. I am glad this rake takes little effort, I am tired.

@@TimE_5150 please keep me posted after the weekend how it worked out for you!

@@GritnGrind4256 I tried out the groundskeeper 2 over the weekend to mixed reviews. At first I was not very happy with the green grass blades I saw when I began using it. It did take a little getting used to because unlike a standard rake the effort is very minimal. But there were some areas that it worked amazingly as well. Again I have to use it a bit more in different situations in order to give a complete review but on a scale of 1-10 right now I would give it a 7.

@@TimE_5150 that’s totally fair. It’s a learning curve for sure but after using it a few times it becomes second nature. Just have to forget everything you know about how to rake 😎

@@CarlKahler definitely could have been but the new starter cranks much harder and knock on wood it is not having issues. Thanks for watching!

@@mikesorg6746 glad to hear it!

@@diederik_theo hey thanks for the info I’ll have to give that a try!

@@201emmy all the things!

@@lennygriffin4464 you will never want another rake! Just remember the slight learning curve takes a few minutes to get used to (don’t apply down pressure)

@@darwindropmazda glad you enjoyed it!

@@Nmace4500 me too. This one plagued me for way too long

I am the 3rd owner. First owner was a lease for about a year then the second owner had it for most of its life. I picked it up with 150k on it now I’m just under 160k. The def system is all new (heater went out) and fuel system is all new (accidental def in diesel) that the previous owner installed before I got it. Where I live they are cracking down on emissions but if it ever acts up on me it just may accidentally fall off 😂. When talking fuses do you mean the ones on the positive terminals?

Yes the ones on the positive.

@@teddygarcia1462 I’ll give them a try

Only a few minutes. Less if you replace the entire head.

Welcome!

They are handy for sure!

Thanks for watching and I’ll test it out!

Thank you!

Unsure currently. But the bush that is still there is full of thorns. Nothing with thorns that’s for sure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes it was!

It varies on geographical location. But this machine ranges from around $65k-$80k USD from what I have seen

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Why the face palm Bert?

Thank you!

I think so too!
