Couple ABANDONDED By The Last Lawn Guy (So I mowed their tall grass)

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Great job and video, thanks for sharing. Hope you're well, mate!

[@ryanroberts7771]

Ventrac, please get this guy a flail mower and power rake. He is doing a great job showcasing your equipment. Help him to expand his business and show more of what your equipment can do!

[@Paronak]

it's no guess why their lawn guy quit. now i understand your "every thing moved, it costs extra" policy

Imagine if you went to mow someone’s yard and you go to scope it out and there is dog shit everywhere!

[@metalmike350z]

Wait, youre telling me people actually live there? Wow. The amount of stuff all over the yard is crazy to me, buried by grass.

[@shirleyparr5743]

I thought the same. I think I know why their last lawn guy gave up!

[@sandramcclish8628]

Have to much trash in the yard

[@katherinecalderon50]

Good job even though there was a lot of obstacles to get around. Homeowner needs to rid yard of junk.

[@darter216]

It’s called laziness pure and simple. I understand if some people can’t physically mow their lawn do to limitations but junk and debris which you threw about your lawn is inexcusable…..I would charge extra for all that extra work

[@seanslawns]

Great job Brad, way to come in and save the day. Everyone around that house is very grateful. You’re a tremendous asset to your community, keep up the great work!

With the amount of Xtra stuff around the yard I can kinda understand them abandoning them. Looks like the Ventrac did a nice job. Thanks for the video.

The Ventrac does a sweet job. A lot of mower mines in that yard. Neat and clean cuts with very little mulch.

[@markyh73]

I totally understand there are many reasons why people may be unable to keep up on yard work. What I don’t understand is all of the debris, random objects, junk and garbage in these yards. Disgusting.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

LOL it was a first for me as well! :D

[@bryan17293]

Bit of a small space for such a fine mower. I love the cut it makes. The mower is more golf course friendly or pastures and industrial lawns.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Agreed! My reasoning was 1-make a fun video, 2-test out what that deck did in tall grass with a mulch kit installed, 3-prevent discharge/overspray/possible damage from using my zero turn, which does have a chute blocker but wouldn't hold itself shut with all these clippings (it is spring loaded so too many clippings push it open).

[@bryan17293]

@@CopperCreekCuts Love the mower

[@wynonarburgstiner4667]

It's no wonder the former lawn guy abandoned these folks. I guess no one ever told them that lawn people do not clean up a messy place, they need someone else hired to do that if they can't clean it themselves. Leaving bricks, cement blocks and 4x4's hidden in the lawn is asking the lawn guy to have his very expensive equipment ruined. You did them a good turn and did a good job.

[@tracehiggins2627]

You should have used a push mower for that residential property, you're just being lazy. LMAO. I first thought the Ventrac was going to be overkill, until I saw how large the property actually was, it really didn't show it in the initial walk. It did a great job. Good to see you mowing, trimming and edging again. Keep up the great work.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

LOL I'll admit it 100%. You completely had me going for the first sentence!😂

[@131dyana]

Thank you for helping there. Great job.

[@lisawaters2585]

The Ventrac did a great job. Cut the lawn cleanly, and very little clippings left-great mulching. I get why such a slow cut, but omgosh! I HAD to speed that up, lol.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I was watching it back in the editor and was like...man this is slow! :D But since I usually do a speedy version and a long version, I just kept it and figured the 2x button would be everyone's friend on this one! :D

[@marionadams1701]

Motorcycles, swing set, bike, etc. says young people live in that house. Too bad the parents didn’t teach them how to clean. Now we all know why the other lawn companies bowed out. You are to be congratulated Brad - another star in your crown.

[@kalebvaughn1066]

You must have a lot of patience with people like this, I would've probably flipped out 😂😂😂

[@saliston]

They could have at least cleaned up for you. Now i see why the other company quit. That deck on the Ventrac does a really nice job with a clean cut.

[@stanguay169]

I think I can understand why the last lawn guy quit this client... Too much junk.

[@jillmenter5628]

You are a man of your word....you finished the job. Lawn men can only make money if the job can be done with some efficiency. This property owner needs to clean up all the debris and construction items if they expect anyone to stick with them.

Thx for the long content.

[@chadernest4399]

Oh someone is going to mow our lawn. Let’s make sure there is a ton of crap for the mower to kill his equipment on.

[@willsineath7273]

What would someone pay in Northeast Florida to clean up such an overgrown yard with so much debris in the way? You did a great job. I think you should help the homeowner set the things he wants to keep in one pile and put the things he wants to haul to the dump in a separate pile. And when you finish, haul both piles to the dump. I would like to know how much time you spent from the start of the job to being completely finished and loaded all the equipment back on the trailer. It looks like someone in the family could have been there to move things that were good out of your way. I am a long time subscriber from the Low Country in South Carolina. It will be near 100* tomorrow here and very muggy. Keep up the good work, I enjoy all your videos

[@brucesimpson8579]

[@billieo5376]

That was crazy.

[@JeffreyStrader]

BRAD..................Do you prefer the VENTRAC over the ZERO TURN? (also how much do you add to the bill for clipping removal?)

[@SouthPawEd]

That mower on the ventrac does an amazing job. If if wasn't for 2 reasons, I'd have one: money and necessity. 😅 Nice work!

[@stephenwillis9769]

Michael Costa is gonna flip his lid…

[@momnoah5]

Hi. New subscriber here by way of a shout out from Sean at @BladeMateLawnCare. I have a question. Why do you mow first, then weed-eat, especially in areas where there is a lot of debris around? I am not being critical or snarky or trying to tell you how to do your job, I'm just curious. Is it just a preference or is there reasoning behind it?

[@joshuaburba1048]

Since Brad didn't respond, I'll answer on his behalf. I'm offering this answer straight from his mouth in a q&a video he made a few years back. I had also been wondering exactly the same thing, since every other guy I watch (including Sean) always edge and weed-eat first, and mow last. Brad finally answered this in that q&a video I mentioned. His reasoning was as follows: 1. When the grass is normal height or short, he always edges and weed-eats first. 2. When it is very tall (as in this video), it makes no difference which one he does first, because of how tall the grass is. Keep in mind the entire reason for normally edging and weed-eating first is to throw those clippings in the yard, then chop them up with the mower second, thereby resulting in a cleaner yard. However, according to Brad, when the grass is really tall, that won't work anyway, so it's okay to mow first. I hope that was helpful.

[@momnoah5]

@@joshuaburba1048 Thank you. That makes sense, since when it is very long, they usually rake & bag the grass whereas when it is shorter, they usually just mulch it.

[@joshuaburba1048]

[@bonnievance685]

Job well done Brad. Owner needs a big dumpster and clean the place up while they can find the debris and trash and discarded junk after you mowed and weed whacked. Place looks good for what you did but owner needs to do his part or hire someone to throw the junk out.

[@RebuildableRyan]

How do you like your 2000? I have a 60 inch 2000, a 52 inch 3000, and just picked up my new 60 inch 6000 5 days ago. I absolutely love toro. Ignore all the jackasses saying dumb shit on your videos. They obviously have never done this type of work before

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I really like the 2000! The throttle on it is starting to go loose which stinks, I have to keep my hand on it so it stays at the top end, otherwise it backs off the tiniest bit and makes a difference in the tall stuff. I finally popped the panel off the other day and looks like I need a whole assembly, I can't just tighten a bolt like on the Bobcat. Oh well. If that's the only thing broken in this long I am happy! Sometimes on the TALL stuff the engine gets it done but I have to go slow. Those are really the only times I wish I had a 4000. But cheaper and less fuel to run the 2000, so I think overall I would do it again. No fuel gauge is dumb but since I'm solo I don't mow enough to burn a whole tank a day, so I just refill every morning and not an issue.

[@RebuildableRyan]

@@CopperCreekCuts I hate the no fuel gauge on my 2000! So stupid. However In the future if you upgrade you can get the same lower hp motors on the 4000 so you can save fuel still. However I’d recommend going for the 5000 because the 5000 offers those lower hp motors as well but everything on it is just way better. Sucks to hear about the throttle I had a Ferris is2200 that did that it was so annoying. I was able to tighten it up tho. None of my toros have had this issue thankfully

Man there is a whole lot of junk in that yard. Must be someone that has that dreaded dis ease called "drop and run" LOLOL I couldn't handle that for sure. YOU did an excellent JOB going around it all and that mower is totally awesome did a beautiful job of cutting. Hint a pocket knife would help with cutting that plastic refill on your weed whacker?

[@christinestill7303]

Maybe all the stuff in the yard is an indicator of why the other mowing guy abandoned this property.

[@michaelanderson2814]

What brand is that trimmer? Motor sounds strong.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

TORO. It is their commercial battery trimmer. They only have a few pieces of commercial equipment (trimmer, blower, hand held hedge trimmer) but I have a lot of their residential stuff and like it a lot. Their commercial trimmer beats the residential ones for sure. I hope they come out with more commercial equipment soon!

[@frankartieta4887]

When I get a call to do estimate on a property such as this I take note of the overall condition of the property I also pay attention as to what information can be learned from the client Seldom do things just happen There are thousands of professional lawn maintenance companies In reality few will just go away If there is a reasonable job at a reasonable price There IS someone who would like to make that money Of course you can not put crack heads or young kids in the category of a mowing service Then again :) There are clients who will force a professional mowing service to abandon them I not a big fan of all the youtube videos where a lawn man mows a lawn that has not been mowed in years. There very likely are real reasons Belts blades and other mower parts are expensive and prices are rising exponentially If a person really can not afford to have their grass cut they have options
