Grass is Clumping under Lawnmower Blocking Chute. Simple Fixes! (by Craig Kirkman)

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Hi guys I just wanted to Introduce to you my other Channel "Kirkman's Academy" - which i'm just getting started. It's a go-to channel for simple explanations for hard to grasp subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry etc. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@kirkmansacademy/videos . Thank you so much for looking, and if these topics interest you then I hope to see you the there. Many thanks indeed. Craig 😊👍

I just thought of another reason, the air that carries the grass clippings into the grassbox has to exit the grassbox through vents or through the fabric grass collector - if the fabric is clogged or the vents are clogged this will reduce the airflow. Great video, very helpful - cheers!

I also meant to add that your illustrations are top notch.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

And thank you for your kind feedback. Craig 👍

Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I have learned a lot about proper use of lawn mower.

[@Bigeye291]

Very interesting Greg, this just opened up a complete new prospect on how the blades operate, especially the differences between mulching and suction blades. Thanks as always Greg, best small engine doc on you tube👍

Where were you 50 years ago LOL Every first time home owner & their children should watch this before their first mowing. From the shape of the equipment in get in many others should as well. Full view & ..👍# 126 Stay well my friend, Joe Z

Now I finally know why my newer Toro 3 in 1 doesn't do a good job of filling the bag...the blade! Thank you for this video.

Great video. I agree never mow wet grass if possible. I myself refuse to cut it wet. Can’t stand the mess on the deck.

[@graemewaters5765]

Great clips,thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us mere mortals I look forward to the next ones 👍

[@shannonbuchko15]

Oh my goodness I have cut grass for most of my 54 years and most of these are so obvious yet it's pathetic I didn't consider them thank you so much for this video not only for the subject but for the ways it was done I have not seen another one with the same subject and maybe because it is such an obvious thing but I would have never figured it out without running across this so thank you very much for this as I stand here shaking my head wondering how I became so stupid.

[@themowerman]

Good information mate

[@florincozmo6397]

Great video, thank you!

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Thank you to👍👍👍

[@kitkatlow]

Very useful information. Thx.

People say never walk the mower backwards to cut grass ..but I find no difference if I’m in a tight spot ?

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

I know what you mean. I too sometimes walk backwards for very short distances if I need to 👍

[@TheTronder007]

​@@TheRepairSpecialist Could be something related to safety, as few of us have eyes in the back of our heads.. I use riding mowers (a lawn tractor and a rider) and I reverse in tight spots with the deck engaged with no adverse effects as far as i can see, so it leads me to think that the advice is given with safety in mind.. so if you do walk backwards while mowing, just be extra observant/careful I would say

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Yes i would say you are probably right.

Also make sure your bag is clean, inside and out otherwise there is no air flow.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

HI thank you for sharing an important tip about lawn mower maintenance-ensuring that the bag is clean inside and out to maintain proper airflow. You bring up a crucial aspect of lawn mower care that can often be overlooked but significantly impacts performance. A clean bag promotes adequate airflow, which is essential for efficient grass collection and overall mower operation. When the bag becomes clogged with grass clippings or debris, it restricts airflow, causing the mower's engine to work harder and potentially affecting cutting performance. Regularly cleaning the bag helps maintain optimal airflow, allowing the mower to operate more effectively and efficiently. In addition to cleaning the bag, it's also essential to inspect and clean the mower's air filter regularly. A clean air filter ensures that the engine receives clean, unrestricted air, further optimizing performance and longevity. Thank you for sharing this valuable tip with our community. It's these simple maintenance practices that contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable lawn mowing experience. If you have any more tips or questions to share, feel free to reach out. We appreciate your engagement and helpful contributions! Best regards, Craig

What is wrong with not collecting the clippings and just allow them to stay on the lawn to fertilize the soil.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Well it all depends on preference really. Some people believe that not collecting the grass is a very good thing to do because it fertilises the soil when it drops, but others don’t like the grass left on the lawn and would rather have it looking tidy, that’s basically all.

[@mattsw104]

Grass too wet and grass too high are a catch 22. It's best not to wait for it to get dry.
