700cc twin PUSH MOWER vs 4 feet tall GRASS **CRAZY**

[@wdixon27]

open up the front of the deck a couple inches, that way the blade gets a chance to get into the tall stuff before it gets outta reach

[@Someloser47lol]

THANK YOU

[@PaulThomas-qo9vy]

Yes, open the deck front & the front part of the blade guard/fence. Reinforce the top of the deck with angle iron to replace the removed deck front metal. The reinforcement angle iron should connect to the front wheel mounting metat so they won't bow out from the weight. This will stop the front of the deck metal from pushing over the grass! See how the Billy Goat brand field & brush mower front deck is designed & do something similar. You have plenty of engine & blade but you have got to stop pushing over the grass & it will cut for sure! Essentially you are kinda building a mini brush hog shredder that's open in the front!

[@marktaylor171]

[@jimmykreutz6087]

[@jeffdeal1162]

This. I actually cut 2 inch cutouts on my rider for this purpose, along with pine cones. Works like a charm. My deck was so damn hard it took a while to do with an oscillating tool carbide blade so maybe use a cut off wheel instead. Also put some damn Gator blades on that thing!!!

[@Mitch-rk5mz]

Hey.. I have 40 years experience in the lawnmower business. The problem is the mower deck is pushing the grass down. If you cut a notch out of the front of the mower it will cut the high grass

[@lifeintornadoalley]

As a commercial lawn care professional, try this to upgrade the push mow: You need high lift blades, not the 3n1 mulch. You need a discharge big enough to expell the clippings. Remember the science: you need a vacuum effect. With high lifts, you're pushing more air around, and wouldn't be a problem making that grass stand up underneath it after flattening it. I've experimented like this when I first started. I've threw a Kawasaki 21hp on a push mower. With no pullies to reduce the blade speeds, you can imagine how fast the blades were going. Dam close to 2k rpm. At that point, a stick will leave indents on the frame.

[@WJCTechyman]

Or, you can skip all of that and make a sickle bar mower. Lift doesn't really apply here as this is brush mower territory, not landscaping a hoity-toity suburban gated community house lawn. On long human hair we don't use a lawn mower, we use the sickle bar mower's relative, reciprocating clippers. If we want lift, those clippers are paired with a vacuum cleaner.

[@bryanteel3046]

Correct

[@driftracing08]

Its all about the size of the mower deck that bigger blade will cut the taller grass more cleanly no matter how much air the blade is moving

[@spookerz35]

You may have had something really awesome if you could locate a used Toro Time Master deck - they use 2 blades. Mulching really long grass is probably not going to happen, so a side discharge might work better. Maybe adding flare tips to the exhaust pipes can enhance the appearance 😅

[@lifeintornadoalley]

@@WJCTechyman yup. We take care of brush too. Commercial mowers handle it just fine

[@neilwalker8686]

It’s folding the grass over, under the blade. Open the front, exposing the blade.

[@Joshua-o6g9b]

Give that thing some throttle 😂

[@ofp8574]

The thing to do for cutting tall grass, is to have an open front on the mower. That way you aren't folding the grass over as you're cutting it. Also makes it easier to push. There's no protection against stumps, but even a low power engine can cut tall grass.

[@99milesaway41]

[@donaldardell5742]

I'd suggest a few things: provide a opening in the front of the deck so that the blade can engage the grass without folding it over, which should also help your forward rolling resistance. Second, get bigger wheels with pneumatic tires, it'll provide more deck height and provide for less rolling resistance. Third, weld up or open up a way for the clippings to be ejected, it will keep the blade from having to mulch all the already-cut grass. And rev it up and hold it open!

[@andrewt9204]

Gotta do a 2-pass method with this stuff. We bought land that had grass like this. We had a diesel Jacobsen G-4x4 (look it up, its a sweet tank of a lawn tractor) that had a 3 point in the front. We just lifted the front deck a foot off the ground and the rear deck as normal. I miss that Jacobsen, the transmission blew and they are very rare so it never got fixed. Not many tractors out there with: 4WD, 4 wheel steering, rear 3-point + PTO, and front 3-point + PTO. It also had a 2 speed gear box with ~4 forward and reverse gears. A truly universal machine.

[@pancudowny]

The problem isn't the amount of power being used, blade sharpness, or blade/engine speed... it's the front of the deck(s) themselves: The leading edge of the blade housing just pushes the grass over before the blade(s) get a chance to cut it. If it were open--like on a brush mower--then it'd get a decent chance at initially cutting the grass near the base, thereby allowing it to be further chopped-up [and discharged] as smaller clippings by the blade... as how a rotary mower is designed to do. THEN is when the increased power is necessary to handle how heavy/thick the brush is.😕

Cut the front of the mower deck, so the blade hits the grass without the mower deck bending it over. Raise the blade even higher. I cut a lakefront powerline right-of-way once a year with my $150 mower. Four feet tall? No problem.

I have a viewer suggestion. All you need to do is grind the metal off in between the front wheels so there’s a bigger opening on the the deck. It won’t bend the grass over as much. If you did that I bet it would make all the difference. Try it and make another video. It will turn that thing into a brush hog.

Taller wheels would make it much easier to push - less rolling resistance. The deck can only process so much grass at a given speed. More RPM would help a little.

[@Z-Z-W_origin]

Take 2 passes. First pass at 2 feet (Maybetry bicycle tires to get proper height). 2nd pass at ground level (half and half). Maybe mount it in front of ride-on to knock the grass down so the ride-on can cut it properly. The problem is that when the grass is taller than your mowing deck is long, the grass gets flattened, which stops if from being cut.

[@RobertFrancis-ir6rh]

You have to rent the engine up more for it to cut 4 feet of grass or else it won’t work

I can't believe this many people have commented and no one seems to know this point. The blade is designed as a fan that can lift the grass with enough RPMs. get the blade spinning fast enough and it will raise the grass that has been bent over

[@mjk9833]

Bro this is a childhood dream 😂❤

[@gamerelated3887]

The reason why it's not cutting the tall grass is because the deck is so low to the ground that it's pushing the grass flat and the blade can't get to it. What I would do is cut the front of the mower deck off and run a higher stabilization bar between the 2 front wheels. The grass will stay at a much higher angle by the time the blade hits it, and you're good to go!

In a tall Field I have ; (1) one time 3 decades ago I used an electric hedge trimmer tied to a hand truck. This worked well until I hit a piece of scrap barb wire near a fence and that broke the sintered iron gear in the 54 buck trimmer's transmission. Nobody local would work on it. I took the gear box apart and called weedeater and bought a new gear for 8 bucks and a spare for 8 and with shipping it was like 21 bucks. This was before the internet had much searches; maybe just "ask geves" . lol (2) many times for 3 decades I have used a 13 amp Black and Decker 18 to 20 inch mowers. Use 12 awg 100 ft cords. Mostly for just 100 ft around a barn; quick to reduced ticks on pants. lol. Eons ago I used 200 and 300 ft of cord and bumped the voltage up to 135 volts with a 20 amp variac. (3) Today I often use my string trim mower which cuts faster and has no cord (4) In a riding mower I have a old mid 1980s 11-32 Toro that I re engined with a big block 49 cid/ 810 cc V2. That thing cuts rather well. Have an extra deck for that mower and might try a disc mower hub and Flail blades as an experiment. *** The string trim mower is good in unknown fields; no blades to bend. **** But eons ago when brand new my string trim mower caught a hidden piece of rope and the engine instantly stopped and the internal governor gear broke in the crankcase. ie NO sheared flywheel.

[@zoomosis]

[@shawndubay4050]

I think you have the most powerful push lawn mower on earth. Cuts very nicely. If you want that to cut four foot grass you need to open up the front of the deck just like a bush hog on a farm tractor. The problem is that the mower deck is pushing the grass down before it has a chance to cut it. Look at a Bush hog. The whole front of the deck is open so it can cut whatever it goes over. A push mower is enclosed because it is going to maintain a lawn to about four inches at the highest and a normal lawn is regularly maintained so this isn't normally an issue.

Briggs oppy’s are absolutely excellent motors.

[@MisterdionneYT]

Yes they are!

[@ghostfox3560]

A few factors with that just for notes, the reason behind the extra power on idle is the back pressure used to govern the motor is gone, you hear it in the exhaust beat that it sounds like a motorcycle. You touched on the height issue, and yes, that is to be expected when those run pulleys before blades so they have to have extra height. The method of entry is another issue, you plowed into the field trying to grab as much as possible. You are not on a zero turn running a 48 inch deck with multiple blades, so do not do that. A single blade mower is intended to cut with about a third to a quarter of it's deck with making the initial cut with the rest for mulching and lifting the grass previously passed. The ideal thing to note is which side of the deck the blades swing forward. That is going to be the side you engage with first. Yours had the shoot on the right had side suggesting that they swing forward from the left had side. Even without the blades being sharpened, you can take down a field at 4 feet with the proper method... And a lot of fuel. Bad case of overcomplicating that job. This is an interesting one for seeing someone bring a mower out that can actually be a sight, and sound, to behold. Basically, it will take a couple of days to do it properly with any push mower, just because you cannot overfill the cavity you have where the blade is and expect it to cut ANYTHING! You plowed in and expected a cut patch to be made it would seem. Good idea, bad results. You can still use a mower like that. It's not garbage. Just remember to lead in with the left side 1/3rd of the deck, just above idle, and give the mower time to mulch the grass if you do not lift the right hand side shoot door. It doesn't need more than an average of 3600 RPM to lift grass up and move it. It will take you as long as it takes to have a relaxing walk to mow that area.
