When we have cut wet grass our first job is quickly go over it with the blower to blow off the excess moisture, it seems to work for us.

[@daviddimbleby6725]

If you don't have a blower a decent coconut head broom works well as 2nd place idea 👌

I just commented the same thing 😊

Hey Rob! Thanks for the video. I bought a Stihl mower last month and quite honestly it's been a dream, especially with the wet/muddy conditions we've got here in Bolton. I've not cleaned it out once and it's brilliant for 'bagging' the grass. It's a great work horse.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Brilliant 🤩

[@andrewthomas2406]

as a self employed gardener of 33 years ,i cant believe what im about to say,ive used etesia mowers for years ,brilliant mowers worth every penny,however i neede to get a cheap mower to keep as a spare mower so i picked a 2nd hand gardenline mower for £40.i decided to test it on of of my maintenance jobs,it did a bril job so good the customer asked me to use that instead of the other mowers,i ended up taking it out on a daily basis,it cuts wet grass with no problems,it runs great,i was so chuffed with it i now own 3 and sold my other mowers.

[@stuartreadman118]

Thanks Rob

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

No problem

[@ParkersGardens]

Yes Rob there is an answer, and you've already got it. Have 2 mowers. One for the nice weather and one for the bad weather. A mower that leaves a fantastic finish for the majority of the time e.g. a Hayter or Honda or similar, and one for the bad weather e.g. the Stihl or Etesia. That's it. Easy peasy. And re your points about the finish, a mower designed for cutting in terrible conditions is never going to leave quite as good a finish at the pro roller mowers, but if you're only using them in the rain then it doesn't matter. Enjoyed the video as always.

Yep, we have the Viking MB650T, which is the forerunner of your Stihl. Brilliant at cutting wet grass, had it for 8 years now. Little tip Rob - if it's not raining, but the grass is wet, give it a blast over with your leaf blower, it knocks the water to the base of the grass and really helps.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Wise, thank you

Hi Rob Nice video and couldn’t agree more regarding Stihl mowers in wet conditions. I have the RM 655 RS and a smaller RM 448 VC. The plastic collection boxes allow for great airflow and like you’ve demonstrated they fill to the brim without any issues or blocking up. I love the folding handlebars too which make storage and transport easier 😁.

Great video rob,i have the stihl rm655rs and it picks up very well in wet weather and leaves a decent stripe and what i like too is the single arm/handle on the mower so its easier to get to the box and remove it when emptying,i would like to get a second mower though and im leaning towards the honda hrx 537 purely for the cut quality, good weather is on the way 😊

[@adamslawnandgardencare9403]

That’s the 4 wheel mower I use in conjunction with my Cobra pro roller. Yes it is a good all rounder, as all mowers are a compromise. Like the plastic grass catcher, like the speed and I like it for small lawns and tight access. I find it very good in dry, damp and light wet conditions but it has struggled in the early season when it was very wet and long. But as an all rounder it is excellent, not as good as Weibang but much lighter and miles better than Toro and Hayter and I rate Stihl dealers highly. Great post Rob

Stihl or etesia for wet grass, she’s got a lovely clean bottom rob but I wouldn’t tilt her like that, last time I done that I flooded it with oil and got lock out, had to take the spark plug off and gave it a big pull, oil flew out and landed in my pond🤦‍♂️

@@theconsistentnoddy9851 think it’s the exhaust side but you also get oil leaking into the carb from the breather pipe if you tilt it on carb side, unless your piston is at the top and you’ve took off spark plug, I am no mechanic just watch a load of you tube so don’t believe anything I say because I am probably wrong.

[@markwarnes400]

Hi Rob, Love the videos btw. I don’t understand why other mower manufacturers insist on mesh collection bags. It’s clear that a plastic collection box is best for wet grass. As we have so much rain here in the uk you’d have thought they would have added them to improve their performance. I know the Etesia has one but as you say it’s a slower and weighty mower. Keep mowing the green gold Rob. 😊

[@ParkersGardens]

Completely agree. We've been saying this for years. Even if they just offered the plastic box as an extra that you could buy separately that'd be fine,. I bet they'd sell loads.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thank you

[@waynehodge7063]

another great video , our little Stihl RMA443vc does the same it throws the cuttingings in like theres no tomorrow, and with how smooth and flat the underneath is it doesnt seem to stick to the bottom as much, still getting out heads around the box opening backwards though lol makes it a bit harder to empty it into the bags we use, so looking for some nice big trugs to use, If anyone out there know where to get some good strong over 70ltr trugs let me know. and ignore the Karens they know nothing mate again keep up the awesome videos and cuts

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thank you Wayne. All the best.

[@mofosyko]

Great video Rob. The blade looks a lot like the ACK 050 Catcher kit that Stihl sell. I'm not sure but either way it looks different to the standard blades on my mine. Perhaps this is why it collects so well and doesn't clog. Sometimes it's the little things that make the difference. I'm looking at DIY rollers or kits you can buy that can give a stripe on a standard push mower. Maybe an option for the Stihl?

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Something to look at👍🏻

[@betterlawns4u]

Can't argue with the performance of that machine. Why more manufacturers don't use plastic collection boxes is beyond me.

Hey Rob, I’m picking up a Honda HRN 536 tomorrow after running my business using a ‘yardforce’ mower for the last year and a half, can’t wait to see the difference a proper mower will make, especially with the wet weather! I was debating over stihl and Honda, but the Honda won for me as it has the twin blade and mulching lever so it seems like the best all rounder

[@nathanbray1358]

I have this mower and it's not good in the wet .I think it's the twin mulching blade. I've had it for a year.its fast and the mulching is great.barely noticeable in summer but on a wet day forget it I'm afraid. It needs highlift blades to collect in the wet but the fabric box will always mean its not great.good for big lawns on a dry day

[@Charlie-fg6qy]

@@nathanbray1358 damn, well hopefully it’ll still be a decent upgrade from the one I’ve got currently, this one clogs instantly makes it impossible to mow, I’ll look into getting a stihl eventually for the wet days next season

[@nathanbray1358]

I'm lucky I have a transit custom and always carry 2 mowers but actually have 6 .I don't think any mower is great at everything. They can be too big/small/heavy or not the best in the wet.the honda is great for bigger jobs and the £600 stihl 545 is a great mower to partner it if you have the space and money

[@trucker9462]

Rob ive always used cobra mowers. Last year I thought I would treat myself to a honda hrn 537 with blade brake, twin clip, and mulching slide. Biggest mistake I've made. It was horrendous, surging engine, noisy, wouldn't drive when the bag was half full, used to leave wheel marks, would rip at the grass. Anyway managed to get rid of it and replaced it with a Sthil RM 650V. Wow is all I can say, cuts beautifully, fills the box brim full, ploughs through long grass without dropping revs. My only regret is not buying the model with the blade brake. The lawn finish looks 100% better than the honda. I noticed you are not happy with the sthil finish. I was told before I used the sthil was to use 3-4 coats of car polish on the underside of the deck and shine it up which is supposed to throw the grass around the deck and into the box easier which then allows the blade to cut the standing grass easier without pre cut grass causing friction.

Funny I bought a stihl rm545vr two weeks ago and after 15 years gardening I've found perhaps the perfect mower.the plastic box means airflow is easily maintained and its light and doesn't dig in.its not blocked once and I've done about 40 gardens with it Really good price £600 from charlies and it has a roller. Only negative is obviously its not massive but ideal for most gardens and those with steps...and not the fastest. My honda hrx476 which I've used for years is sitting in the garage and will probably be sold.the weak drive meant I was doing some of the work to push it along and not great in the wet.. And heavy.if the stihl had a honda engine it would be perfect but the brings seems OK Time will tell.i have a big honda for larger gardens on a dry day and will carry that with the stihl.its a fantastic mower.i bought a small weibang last summer with high lift blade and that blocks with wet grass.for the money if I get 2 seasons out of the stihl I will be very happy
