I don't know why but I keep coming back and watching this video because it is satisfying and my mower cannot do this, it's just a 20HP cub cadet lawn tractor and stuff like this would ruin it. I've hit big stuff sometimes and it made that grinding sound. Your machine must be a commercial grade mower.

That mower is a monster. How to cut all that stuff and not damage the blades or anything else?

The blades are just really thick. I've actually never bent a blade but I have gouged them pretty good on impact with hard objects like metal or rocks.

[@josiahhill4993]

when I do that, the fibers from the palm branches wrap all around the spindle and I have to get under there and pull all that mess out.

good work - but I suggest you get some protective ear wear.take it from me, I damaged my ears not wearing anything.

[@tstfrd]

Why do you keep the spindle covers off?

[@Something2LookAt]

I do that so that I can keep the deck clean. It would seem that leaving them on would prevent grass from building up in there but it doesn't. When they're off you can blow all parts of the deck off after every cut. When they're on you can't.

[@tstfrd]

I had a quick question that I wanted to shoot atcha. That foot pedal on your right, is that your E- stop, or deck lift pedal? I've never had the opportunity to pilot a zero-turn machine. To me, that would be the forward drive foot feed. (Accelerator pedal if you will). Thanks for posting!

[@Something2LookAt]

Oh yea, I know on riders such as the Cub Cadet that might be kinda the gas pedal. But no, it's the deck lift. I use it constantly.

Don't you love all that dust, hard to get away from it. But the chute blocker helps some because you don't have keep running over it again and again. Block it and run over it grind it up, then open the chute and blow it away, better then having to chase it, I learned the hard way too. Not rubbing it in, no harm meant.

[@Something2LookAt]

Oh no no, don't worry about me. Hey the thing is, I like to launch those pinecones across the yard. I like mulching too but you can't see what's happening. For video purposes, I want to be chasing them around and throwing them all over the place! lol.

ethan brock Oh I'm sure it's going 16. And that is crazy quick on a mower. My friend has a Toro going 18 though, so I lost bragging rights. Perhaps I should race him? hehe.

[@customowing]

Can you really cut grass good at that speed I think they call it transport speed for a reason. I'd hate to drop a front caster into a hole at the speed that would hurt.

[@Something2LookAt]

Raymond Farwell Yea it really will cut at 16 mph. Not a super nice cut mind you. I did it in one of these videos. Oh, it's called "Cutting at full speed, in slow motion" Or something like that. But your are right, it has a seatbelt for a reason. First time I tried mowing at 16 mph I did hit a bump and got bucked out of the seat and on to the armrest. Scared me real good. I honestly rarely even shift into high range. Although I just did it last week when it suddenly started to downpour. I flew back to the truck!

[@Torpedomtb]

Think a plastic bag and a rake would had been the appropriate way to get the pine cones. And as for the palm limbs. The veins on the palms are pretty tough also. I would not recommend using your mower as a mulcher for such things. I would think after this is done you will need to buy new blades. Maybe that is your intent in doing this video to pay for new blades. I dono but not a good idea for others.. Pick stuff up like that..

[@Something2LookAt]

Nope, the mower is fine, blades are fine. Alot tougher than you think. Just putting on a little show. Everything under control.

[@darkrosemusic7663]

whoa yea the scags really are beasts, but there stand ons are not too good on hills. those pine cones are INDESTRUCTABLE. one time i was bush hogging out in the woods with a 100 torque bush hog with a 200 hp tractor, and the pine cones came out unscathed! dont ever try mulching them. sounds bad, looks bad, and beats up the deck and blades. huge fan of your channel, i dont know why 50 people dont like your video. how much do you charge for a 1/4 acre of regular grass? trying to do market research for my start up business. you should wear eart and eye protection, recent research studies are linking hearing damage from loud noise such as power equipment to HEART DISEASE, which i dont think is worth the risk.

[@Something2LookAt]

Wow! I'm going to have to look up that study you mentioned. As for pricing for the standard 1/4 acre, most lawn services, around here anyway, charge about $30-$35 per cutting or $100-$120 year round monthly agreement.
