Cheap as chips sell it as a two height mower. 23mm or 13mm. This gives the in between 😀

Great tip. Had my Webb a couple of years now. Recently bought backlapping paste and tried sharpening the blades by spinning the roller by hand. Think I need to get an attachment for drill to get a better result

If you do this, it's best to remove the chain, and drive the small cog with a 13mm socket. If the chain is on it can catch and it's not happy

Looking fab mate, I have three of the weh12r now😂 saw a brand new boxed never used one for £30 on facebook and couldnt turn it down. I made a long piece of flat wood like your bar and screwed 3 screws into it at ewual spacings apart, one at 15mm, 20mm and 25mm so use that in the same way as your bar tool. But what I did on one of mine, is the original qualcast psnther that this china webb is a copy of, the adjusting legs have markings on them, and the side casings have arrows either side so you can move the front roller legs up and down to line with markings, so no bar tool needed. Now if you look closely at the webb, its side casings also have that arrow cast in them. So I scribed lines into the webbs plastic legs at 5mm intervals, equally both sides on each of the legs, so I know just by sight and lining up each scribed line to the arrows, what height of cut to set at without meeding any bars or measuring tools, so takes just a few seconds to change from 15mm to 20mm or 25mm just by using the lines scribed to line up with the casing arrow on either side🥳🥳🥳🥳

@TheReelMowingMowingClub 2 ай бұрын

Cheers Mark. Gave it some Seaweed and liquid fert after this just to give it a boost. Haven't seen any height notches or anything on this mower, however if you have 5mm intervals, what if the owner wants an odd number 🤣🤣🤣. Was close to buying a new one for this vod but saved 100quid. Put it towards something else!

@markslade9722 2 ай бұрын

@@TheReelMowingMowingClub nice mate. Yeah they don't have the notches in the plastic legs on the china Webb, so I scribed mine at 5mm gaps, but fair point if you want to set at say 18mm🤣🤣🤣but you will see the arrow cast into the side casing where the legs slide up and down as the fixed point reference. But if you don't want to scribe your own lines into the plastic legs, I bet the older qualcast super lite panther metal legs would fit that have the markings already on the legs, but again at 5mm gaps. Can't wait to see your lawns in a few more weeks once the seeded areas have fully grown, and this weather lately has been ideal for seeding due to rain and cooler temps🥳🥳

Thanks tom! Love the support. Very similar. Yard Brah bought his brand new and has a slightly different handles on mine as its an older, second hand version. Never seen it on a channel with Zoysia , but as long as your not cutting too low, half inch which is the lowest it can go, and it's set right and sharp, it should cut like any reel mower.

The 13mm nuts come with plastic thumb turn caps on them so you can adjust height without a spanner, but as soon as you apply any torque to them they fall off, which is why yours (and mine) doesn't have them anymore.

Looks great👍 looking at trying a small golf putting area in the back garden, do you think this would cut short enough, don’t really want to go down the artificial grass route, cheers

@TheReelMowingMowingClub 25 күн бұрын

Cheers Garth. For a good putting green you'll need a mower that can cut lower and offer more cuts per m via a higher number of blades on the reel. Lowest setting on this mower is 13mm. Modifications could lower it more but you really need an 8 bladed reel or more for a putting green. Also a bent grass would be more beneficial than a rye even though this variety of perrinal rye affords a lower height of cut. All depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you wish to go

Looking really good! What fertilizer type / schedule are you doing? Mines at 6 weeks too lol. we did them at the same time. I uploaded a video of it today. It's at 20mm as the lawns are not perfectly flat. They are smooth though. Also can the web be adjusted at any heights between the range? My Gardena only has 4 slots.

Cheers Steve. A bit more thickening needed. The over seed I did a week or so ago is starting to come through now which should help. Once that establishes I'll be putting granular down again but I did put some liquid down this evening after this vid. Looks is looking thicc. Really nice. The webb is fully variable because it's on a slider rather than slots. If I wanted I could go super nerdy and look to cut at 14.342mm 🤣🤣🤣

@stevenbelcher5658 2 ай бұрын

@@TheReelMowingMowingClub I think i'll have to get that one . I always wanted to cut at 14.324mm lol. The one I have now could do with going down a few mm. It drops 10 mm though which scalps any banked areas to the soil. I have been using granular soil condition, some preseed fert and mycorrhizal fungi liquid. I overseeded about 2 weeks ago. There were lots of worm casts under the fleece which I still may have to breaks them up with a fork and add more seeds as some are elevated. I'm thinking of mixing a summer fert with preseed and applying every 2-3 weeks. It only needs to stay green and develop roots as it's already thick already.

@davideallett4819 Ай бұрын

Hi Daniel As I’ve said love your stripes I’m concerned regarding the height of the cut at 15mm. Can this only be achieved on certain types of grass? If I went that low I think my grass would yellow or does that not happen when you use a cylinder mower like your Webby? I reseeded my lawn with a football premium seed! Your advice would be appreciated! 👍🏻

@TheReelMowingMowingClub Ай бұрын

Hi david. What seed have you used? Usually there is a range of cutting heights offered with the seed. I have Johnsons Premier Pitch, which can be cut as low as 12mm, and the Barenbrug extreme which can go as low as 3mm. Both are perennial rye grasses. But to cut that low you need to get a cylinder mower with at least 8 blades for super low cutting . 15mm should be ok on the brug (had it there before but now at 20mm, but I would like to do that on the Johnsons

Do you find that what time of day you cut the grass makes a difference? I'm generally getting round to doing it 6-7ish after work. Managed to cut it this weekend at 11am and it looks greener for it. Can't tell if that's coincidence or not

Hi Jack. I'm usually cutting in the afternoon, as I'm a lazy sod! But it's more than likely the better colour will be either from a kick in fert or the sun and it'd position in the morning than the evening I suspect

@markslade9722 2 ай бұрын

Easiest way mate is what I do with mine, replace the steel front roller for two larger diameter plastic castor wheels, so the mower then is higher off the ground compared to the smaller diameter metal roller originally fitted. Plus the mower is better with two narrow wheels on the spindle, because the grass doesn't get flattened like it does with the front roller fitted. Cost me a couple of quid to get two plastic castor wheels with a bore the same diameter to slide onto the spindle that the normal steel roller spins on.
