Lawn Scalping Bermuda grass | New Milwaukee M-18 Battery Mower

[@bradleyb7210]

I have been cutting grass for a living down here in Florida for about 30 years now and I really enjoy your videos! I like your presentation! They are relaxing to watch and also like seeing different ways people do things. Doesn’t matter how long I have been in this industry and how much I think I know it’s still cool to learn different ways of doing it! Sometimes I learn something that works great like the Darwin Grip. I saw you using them awhile back and ordered me a pair and absolutely love them. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

[@YeahYall]

Mr. JC! I'm excited to see your continued growth, prosperity and expertise this upcoming lawn season. Thanks for the pro tips this off season also.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

So nice of you, I really appreciate it, thanks!

[@baribarbuto9695]

thanks for the advice. I started using Milwaukee trimmers and your the one that told me about them 3 years ago..I highly recommend them for landscapers who trim.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Great to hear!

Man seeing you in shorts in February, I can only wish... Your out there mowing and working in the yard, and we have snow! Ugh... Looking good Johnny!

When I was a kid, Pop always burned off our yard in March. It would come back pretty and green. Great video!👍🇺🇸 Bought a new push mower to go with my rider. It's in my dining room.😁

Very cool!

Cool 😎 video to see you getting rid of the dormant grass letting us know its almost time. I can't wait to see your content on your home lawn. Should be fun 👍🏾

Interesting scalping video my first time hearing about this thanks for sharing this.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

My pleasure!

[@andreashaynes3346]

Great video, Johnny. Always enjoy immensely your presentations and information you share with us. Really appreciate the time you give and it brings much joy and comfort. Take care, pop smoke and peace ✌️🌟🌟🌟

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Thank you very much!

[@brianjones856]

You can actually force the height of cut lever to go under the 1 mark. Lowers it to 3/4". Just scalped my bermuda with it that way and it worked great!!!

[@joelgonzalez1249]

Are you positive about that on this Milwaukee mower, I’m looking for an electric mower that would go to about 3/4” but the only one that I found so far is an ego only sold in uk and Australia and it’s only 18” wide. Besides I’m already invested in Milwaukee tools.

[@brianjones856]

@Joel Gonzalez yep I have done it twice now. Again, it takes a little force to do it but it will not hurt it. I can take a picture or video and send it to you if you would like

[@joelgonzalez1249]

@@brianjones856 no need, I’ll just buy it and test it myself, I just like to keep my lawn 1/2”-3/4” during spring and fall but don’t have the space for reel mowers and regular rotary. So this mower will be perfect for the low cut and to add to Milwaukee ecosystem. Any problems with self propelled or engine shutting off as many report? Thanks for your input, it really helps.

[@joelgonzalez1249]

@@brianjones856 so I picked it up today at lunch. I measure the lowest setting height and it’s 1 1/4”, don’t know where they got 1” from, and I couldn’t go past that lowest setting, I don’t want to try too hard or the lever might break. I don’t know if maybe there are 2 models but I can’t lower mine. I currently have the latest ego and this Milwaukee. I cannot help but smile at how much better the Milwaukee feels and sound, I’m about to return the ego regardless of how low it can cut. If you can, try to send me a pic or video of how you go past that lowest setting. Thanks

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Consider applying this pre-emergent before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees for five or more days in a row, and scalp prior to your application

Hey Johnny! How would you compare this Milwaukee with the all the new lineup from Ryobi? They’re all new but we (the public) don’t know which one competes or at least is able to fight with this mower from Milwaukee. You got to see what Ryobi is coming up with in FL. Do you think there’s a great mower that’s comparable to this Milwaukee?? Thanks my brother!

can you compost the clippings as browns (of course with enough greens) or will it go poof into bermuda monster in your compost?

[@randyman8984]

Great video Johnny good to see you again buddy quick question do you do anything to the ornamental grasses in the pots , do you scalp it down too with hedge trimmers? You just leave it alone?? That was a nice example showing you how good pre-emergent works compared to the spot you didn't get to the spot you did get

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Yes, next week I'll make a video on how I cut them down and get them ready for spring, thanks!

[@payneslawnservice19]

Hey Johnny, I’m new at scalping. I was wondering from a business point, how do you go about charging for scalping?

I charge X2 on average unless the task is more time consuming
