I'll stick to seeing a reel mowed lawn when I go golfing.😅 Seriously reel mowing looks like waaayyyy to much work

[@GCITurf]

Kurt Rodammer this is true

[@carpentrylover145]

@@GCITurf wouldn't a short lawn take much more water and fertilizer?

[@GCITurf]

@@carpentrylover145 he claims not....I might be putting this to the test this year???

[@carpentrylover145]

@@GCITurf That would be interesting. I've always been told to leave grass long especially in the summer, plus I don't irrigate.

[@GCITurf]

Kurt Rodammer and don’t change that either. Always keep in mind this is my “playground”. I’ve been blessed to be able to try and test different methods and ways just for the heck of it. Lol. If something goes wrong I can always fix it 😎

[@ADRASTEIA03]

Works great! kzbin.infoUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.

[@5ghostshadow]

Thats real clean. It would only expose my inability to walk in a straight line. haha

[@kove]

I'll tell ya, if I saw that driving along, I'd call your company on the spot

[@GCITurf]

Koven Carlson thank you friend

[@musselmanmedia5236]

seriously!!!

[@Dro2ful]

I saw last week! It really does look like this. 🥴

[@TheLawnTools]

Careful man. Reel mowing is an addiction 😁. Send me one of those hats and I’ll put some grass on it Pete

[@Lawnvolution]

I felt like I was in the county jail looking at those stripes! 🤣🤘

[@clarkshouse8081]

The update we’ve all been waiting for! Looking fantastic! Been watching since the beginning of the renovation. Next renovation needs to be the driving range for sure. Keep up the good work!

[@andrewf.909]

Pete, I verticut my lawn this past fall and the results were unbelievable. I tagged you in a post and you responded. I love the verticutter.

[@gardenmoose4648]

I’m getting my Allett Liberty this Spring! Cannot wait! Blessings Pete!

[@anyprax]

holy cow, having a driving range just a few steps away, this would be the coolest thing ever in my life.

[@duncanbrown7082]

Pete, Months ago when I first viewed this video I had no idea that this would be a huge game changer for me. It started me down the road of my lawn obsession. I’ve learned so much through watching yourself, Allett Mowers, Ryan, Connor, Allyn, The Pest and Lawn Ginga, and Brian. My lawn went from being an embarrassment to being the envy of the neighbourhood. In the spring, while digging out thousands of dandelions, one neighbour walked by and rudely said “You got a lot of work ahead of you!” I couldn’t believe how rude he was. Through lots of hard work and learning as I went I’ve transformed a horrible weed garden into a healthy, blindingly bright striped lawn that is now something to be proud of. Lots of room for improvement but I’m always looking forward to the next step.

[@simonsabah2970]

Wow Duncan, your testimony is very impressive and encouraging. Keep up the good work. Pete is an amazing individual. I also just started seeing these videos and have a terrible lawn. I hope to learn a lot from Pete and have a similar story like yours to share some day.👍👍👍

[@warthief3401]

How do you make lawn stripes like this

[@duncanbrown7082]

@@warthief3401 with a mower that has rollers at the rear rather than wheels. To be as good as this your lawn also needs to be very flat.

[@Lawnvolution]

Hey Pete, you are so excited learning something new! Now you know how we feel when we learned from your videos over the years! Boooooooom!👊☕️👑

[@denisbrisebois7658]

George Popa yes sir. That’s right !!!

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

I'm first

[@markcaldwell3978]

Totally agree!

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

Nothing cuts like a reel mower! I worked at a Country Club when I was a young man. It's quite an art, to create beauty on a Golf Course Green!

[@GiovanniGiorgo]

Pete, thank you so much for your videos and honest reviews! I'm also in NC and having a fellow NC'er show how to properly plant and care for different turf grasses is so helpful. Thanks again!

[@TurfTherapy]

Very impressive Pete! Never thought i'd see the day when you'd be Reel Mowing! This is awesome. Thanks for the content brother. God Bless...

[@GCITurf]

Turf Therapy LOL. That makes 2 of us

[@nealestep11]

Excited to see what you do! I’ll be tuned in for more of this!

[@gregor444402]

Dang Pete. Havent checked in on this project since the big sprinkler and I'm more than impressed.

[@SerranoPE]

OMG, what a difference big guy!!!! I had my own project this fall and I have some patches that are still "light" and haven't filled in completely but dang, your patch here is awesome man!!! Good for you and thanks for the video....I miss not getting the more frequent content but I get it, it's a hard job. Appreciate you and will continue to support/follow. Have a great weekend!

[@nobrakes7567]

I love anyone that is dedicated to their lawn..especially the type of turf! Just got my brand new John Deere 1550 terrain turf..This mower is unbelievable I tell you what.

[@symbiont0156]

Pete, I got to tell you that those test plots are just looking amazing! Those stripes are really on point! That Allett mower is quite a beast too. I am really enjoying the content here and looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

[@c_coppinger238]

Looks incredible Pete! I just wanna lay in that Rye grass. God Bless you.

[@mhuntercorrell]

Pete: Gonna be a hard decision on which reel mower to go with! Have a blast experimenting! Lookin’ unbelievable. Cheers, Hunter

[@erinpackard9768]

WoW Pete that reno looks awesome!! I love seeing each footstep in the new grass as you're mowing. Especially in the Rye Grass. I caught a couple videos on the Allett last weekend and really love the way that thing can thatch. The other cartridge would be awesome for over seeding!!

[@kenmaclaughlin8021]

this is the second time ive seen a mower like this on mowing channel. they cuts nice.

[@103eaglecrest]

Great video Pete. Along with the attachments that were shown in your video, reel mowing is clearly superior to rotary mowing. Allett machines are works of art, and I believe that their price is justified by the results that are produced. Thanks for making and sharing this video.

[@WCTVideos48]

Ok that's it, I'm shopping for a reel mower!!!

[@DavidMcCabe]

"That thing is made of something!" Great vid Pete.

[@ericcoleman288]

I am amazed by that turf, it's a work of art sir, I could only dream of a lawn like that, hats off to you

[@jaygonzalez3555]

Seeing those long stripes on that big grass patch makes the lawn look like a vegetable garden, but then again I don't like/dislike stripes. But that turf looks like it's coming in great! And thanks for letting us in on your first reel shopping experience.

[@jeffadams3277]

Those stripes are crazy Pete! Awesome video series on your shop renovation.

[@rosscraddock6241]

Looks amazing. Very jealous, I think it shows off your hard work in soil condition and grass growing products when you put stripes in like that.

[@kevincampbell5859]

Made me feel like I was back at the golf course mowing, it’s much easier than you think tbh.. I mowed golf greens & fairways every morning

[@Methodical2]

Dethatching is the best way to prepare your lawn for seeds vs aerating as it opens the lawn and exposes the soil for better seed to soil contact. I've always had great success with dethatching. I see way too many lawn companies aerate and seed lawns with no success as the seeds just sits on thatch and dead grass. A buddy finally followed my advice about dethatching and seeding vs aerating and seeding and has been tickled pink with the outcome. He's now a believer.

[@michaelperry4398]

Finally someone gets it, everything you just said plus what good is seed falling into a two inch hole. Aerating and seeding is sucks, unless your going over bare dirt a bunch of times to loosen the crap out it. Dethatch, aerate, slice seed is my preferred method or aerate/ sliceseed.

[@Methodical2]

@@michaelperry4398 I agree with the seeds dropping in a 2" aerated hole where it will never see the day of light. The lawn companies suggest aerating because it requires less work than dethatching, but gives poor results. I see it done every year at my neighbors house.

[@CA-gk1bl]

Pete that was stunning next level for sure. Thanks to Connor Ward and his emaculate living green carpet.

I have always wondered why residential commercial lawn mower companies couldn't have a commercial reel mower It absolutely does the best job of cutting

[@billrhubartjr5794]

Wow it's looking good Pete

[@berrisbogle]

I follow them on Instagram those mowers cut beautiful!! That lawn rake is crazy...

[@grass-patch]

What we HAVE here looks like the American Flag w/o the stars. Puts some curves on the stripes to give that wave look. Figure out the stars later. Feel like saluting my computer. Some creative potential I see there. Love that late 60s sound theme music too. Rock on Big Pete.

[@rongetz5895]

Great video Pete! Good info

[@Dstromb232]

I live in Maryland Heights, Mo just about 25 miles from down town St Louis and it is very hard to grow grass because the summers become very hot and humid. My lawn does good because I mixed GCI and Jonathan green tall fescue grass seed. And wow my lawn pops with the help of Carbon X and humc acid. Even our St louis Cardinals use a straight bluegrass and works for them. I have neighbor that uses a reel mower on his blue grass lawn and wow looks great at 1/2 inch and do not know how he is doing it.

[@drummereef]

Nutrients and water. It's not "too" hard to grow grass here in STL, just takes a lot of babying though the summer. The golf courses around here look great in our area and they have a mix of grasses. Major difference is between sand base surfaces and native soils, Cardinals vs your home. You must be near Koven, he's definitely one to watch growing bluegrass on native soil. 👍

Pretty slick machines, Stripes are on point

[@Mityob67]

Thank you Pete. Will be waiting for your review on how well the kbg thrives in NC. I just mixed some kbg with your TTTF so I guess you could say that I'm experimenting too.

[@mikenotta7079]

Reel mowing is perfect for a homeowner that wants to keep his lawn pristine. Having said that, I've never had a lawn under 10,000 sqf, and there is no way I'm cutting that two-3 times a week. Ain't happening captain! I just don't have the free time.

Was hoping you would put up a before picture of that plot. Huge difference and transformation!!

[@danespen5772]

I pushed a manual cast iron reel mower from age 10 to age 16. Big lawn too. Even a small pebble or twig would stop that thing cold. Just looking at the one in this video brings back not so fond memories. This year I went self propelled, battery powered. Love it. This may be heresy, but I'm not sure I like stripes.

[@frandanco6289]

All bentgrass grown golf course greens are mowed with a reel mower every day !!! When I was a little kid, I would go out with my Dad, be the first ones off Nbr-1 Tee in the morning, and we would eventually catch up with the guys mowing the greens with a reel mower.. The scissor action cut is the absolute best way to cut grass because it cuts it so precisely and evenly.. Kind of like when you get a haircut and the person only uses scissors- it always looks better, right ?? The only thing I didn't know about these reel mowers is that they do not cut even at 2" inches high, unless its other more expensive models?? I don't know how that is going to work in a really hot summer when we all try to cut it higher, so it will shade the blades down below better.. I love that this company has a reel that has more blades so it will cut even finer, but of course, it all costs more $$.. :) Thanks Pete for all the work you did for this and for what you always do for us every day !!

You know how some people say, “I’m going to have one of those cars one day?” I’m saying the same thing about one of those Allett mowers. I’m going to have one of those, one day. Those cartridges are similar to the Swardsman, but on steroids!
