[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

I have to agree. I started young at twelve I started working for my father and he worked me hard. He would always give me something to do next, before I finished the last task.

[@RickW5301]

Haha that pizza brotha. After that i had to write! My girls love coming to work with me because of the food! They're 5 and 3 haha and they always want pizza 🍕 😂 good show champ!!!

[@jamiebroadstock4142]

I have to agree with what Tyler just stated. It's nice to see someone who wants to learn and understand the importance of cutting the property with keeping in mind the client has to be happy instead of saying its only grass. Well done gents. Congrats Mike to you and your wife on the birth of your baby. Life will never be the same lol. Please also spend as much time as you can with them. I have 3 daughters who make me a proud father but man the time has flown by. They are now 19, 20 and 24. It sure does go by fast my friend. Thx for including us in your world!!!

[@blackopsrocks]

Same, totally agree. Refreshing and relieving to know ethics have embedded with some of our youth.

[@looniebinn]

You and Jarron are cool and all, but how can I possibly in good conscience leave a like on the video when I didn't get to see Fred?! You should know by now who we're really here to see. Wow Mike.. Just wow. :P

[@kevincollins2460]

Something fell of of Jarron's phone when he jumped off the 4 wheeler in the trailer. If you look really close you can see it just to the left of his phone. I hope it wasn't anything too important. Honestly putting the mower in the pond was a great learning experience for him regardless. He will know to stop the mower leave it and go get something to pull it out. Don't keep trying to drive it out because it only sinks further and makes retrieval more difficult. Anyway thanks guys for bringing us along with you for the day. Mike you do have a really good kid for a helper. He seems to catch on to things pretty quickly and has a great attitude.

[@MrThatnativeguy]

[@looniebinn]

memory card maybe? it looked to be around the right size

just looks like the phone hit something that was already on the trailer floor, maybe a piece of mulch or something

I ran into your channel following outdoor victory and as someone who is 25 years old and about 4 years doing trades I couldn’t be any more proud of jarren 💪 I heard you mention in another video that he was 16 and honestly my only regret is not starting sooner. Not to bring race or my struggle into this but honestly working in trades opened my mind to the unlimited opportunities out there and the money to be made 💰 keep it pushing jarron if one trade don’t work another one might

Hey Jaron always try to be observant, and listen. If you do that you will get it on no time. Great job .

[@ep9360]

Yup, it happened. I've had to discipline myself with my 52 cut. Just don't be greedy and go around again. In heat of the moment you just want to get every last inch. Sometimes it cost you a mile for that one more inch. Good work Mike and Darren. Patience is a continuously practised virtue.❤

[@shawnkane7152]

Great video quality Mike! Jaren is a great young entrepreneur. Willingness and drive are tough to come by these days. He has also become more comfortable with the filming and conversation.

It’s very nice to see Darren coming on I am lead electrician in the U.K. so i have apprentices work with me Darren seems to be a great employee he listens and tries stuff . My advice is keep on trying and watch and keep on asking questions about the job over time he will get it . Great video Sir

[@jamielee9350]

Fair play to Jarod , he did a good job and put it in there proper . It might be the first time he put a mower in a pond , I can guarantee it won't be the last. No worries , we are all human . At 67 years old I still screw up every so often , but at my age , I don't worry. 🤣🤣🤣

[@tristanmartinez2667]

Jaren cramping up as soon as he jumped on the 4 wheeler reminded me of when I got a cramp in my back when I was installing a 5ftx5ft piece of glass into a window off an extension ladder with the boss man standing under. It took everything I had to get past the cramp and get the glass in place without braking anything or dropping it 🥴

[@joedirt7119]

That’s true grit brother

[@kobelcofan]

I know the way a lot of guys talk about lawn mowing isn't as profitable as larger jobs but there's something about being able to mow, you can just kind of put your brain on auto pilot and do your thing. Mowing is a good thing to have when landscaping is slow.

[@johnmastie]

I didn't know he was so young; it's excellent that he's interested in learning & working. 👍

[@randy6081]

wow Mike like the lawn mower this video was on the brink of sinking in the mud cause you didn't have Fred in it lol but lucky for you Jarrod saved the day and earned you and AMW Services another Big thumbs up for today's Video haha, another great video today mike Jarrod is an amazing person cause you don't see to many 16 year old kids out there today willing to work and sweat to earn a living or some pocket money to spend, you found a good one when you hired Jarrod and the learning experience he is getting now he will always use and remember his whole life ad he will always renber that you were kind and patient with him while he learned and as you taught him and gave him work experience , Keep the video's coming Mike even when Fred takes a paid vacation day lol.

[@chadsmusiccreations]

I wonder if anyone has every brought the steep bank attention to the HOA, it seems like the people in the area could afford to grade a less steep bank around the drainage pond keeping the mowers out and probably making the neighborhood a safer place to be around for children if its that steep of an embankment they might not be able to climb out if they ventured towards the water in search of ducks or other wild life,. Seen so many people slide into this pond on Ryan's channel and several ponds like it claim mowers every year... HOA basically want you to stay away from the ponds completely, but that means you have no access to your back yard in an expensive neighborhood. They don't want people to fish in the ponds, which honestly for me that would be a reason to buy a home with a pond located on the property. To me that would be a selling point, and HOA I think should make it a selling point and provide a fishing dock, but also maintain it with gated fence to keep children from getting close to the water if they run off unsupervised on accident.

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

You have the opportunity to set a precedent with Jarren, if he gets better at things, learns and grows give him raises. That will stick with him and drive him. It did with me.

[@mackenziewagman4279]

You might be able to find a tree near by and use that come along and a long rope or chain to pull the mower out next time. I did look like there was a tree big enough in those bushes where you went for a swim, but this might not be the case all the time. Just a thought. Keep up the good work mike, love the videos.

[@looniebinn]

You're going pretty close to that water honestly. If you've already got the weed eater right there, I would utilize it. You're saving no time at all when you get the mower stuck. It takes maybe an extra 10 minutes to do an extra couple of feet around that entire pond so you're not getting your tires close enough for the mud to just let you slide right in. I wouldn't get within a few feet of that pond with a mower, ever.

[@davidmerrifield2891]

Thanks for the video pops.

[@cyrenacyrena3041]

Grate video Mike. Myself as a professional landscaper and lawn mowing guy, just one thing that I noticed that you might want to improve upon. This is constructive criticism - I noticed that you sprayed cut clippings onto the roadway then blew the clippings back onto the lawn that you had just mowed. I would never do that. I ALWAYS blow the clippings across to the other side of the road and onto the neighbour's lawn. It makes for a better looking lawn for your client. Cheers Brian.

[@lukemarks92]

Till the neighbor gets mad lol it just decomposes and it actually is like fertilizer for your clients lawn. Out here NO professionals do that. Lol they all blow it all back onto the grass

You could get even vocational or trade type training at most and play baseball!! I knew i didnt want to play forever but community college is a great route if you really love to ball out and work in blue collar industrys they have alot of benefit.
