A Day In The Yard // Backlapping my Mower and Fertilsing

Today I spend some time in the yard backlapping my reel mower and spraying out some fertiliser as well.

You'll figure it out when you fluff around with it.. oh the Joy's of mowing 🤣😁❤

[@andrewkymantas3877]

Love the 80s theme music was expecting magnum pi to rock up

[@JimmyTheMower]

Great videos, you have got a new subscriber. All the best Jimmy the Mower 👍

[@fairwayjohn6336]

Opening sequence editing is crazy good. Great video!

[@SidKneeGeo]

Wow the green is looking awesome mate.

[@seansmidwestlawn8991]

Noticed you didn’t start the video with those bandaids on your fingers lol, appreciate your blood sweat and tears!

[@pedrospenthouse]

💯

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Great video man it is looking sweet man

[@statik2550]

Damn Diplo’s lawn is looking nice

[@owenheather8383]

The weather up here in Queensland is super hot and sunny

[@Sig_P229]

Looking good. Lawn shaming me at its best 👍

[@barneybarn4064]

Hey mate, when using a Stanley screwdriver like that, use a ring spanner on the handle. They are actually designed that way so you can get more torque on a tight screw. Also, does anyone know when Monument will be available in Australia?

[@tonynorman5599]

Ben, Now I have heard you say do not let the liquid iron get on the concrete. Well I have and I would like to know is there any product that will remove the stain from it. Much appreciated.

[@mrhaveaparty]

im interested in the twin boom sprayer you use. have you got a link on where to get one? cheers

[@timeofyourlife7561]

30+ sun block best hand cleaner ever.

[@diarmuid858]

Never tried it. I’ll give it a go the next day I’m doing workshop work at the golf course!!

[@brodieedwards3639]

what are your thoughts on the super swift cylinder mowers?

[@dimitrijevasiljevic]

I've got some raspberries around the edges of my lawn, but unlike you, I don't have much room to divide them away from the lawn. I haven't planted grass for a few years so I've got mostly wild grass on it now. Is there any way to get rid of the wild grass and weeds without killing all of my raspberries since I finally have time and I'd like to plant and maintain a nice lawn? Your videos really inspired me to do a lawn reno finally!

[@RaditzAus]

Got the link for that hand cleaner mate ? Great vid as usual

[@27schmidty]

What fertiliser for buffalo grass would you reccommend

[@mattycooper316]

Hi Ben, can you put liquid iron on newly seeded lawns?

[@CarlMar2111]

Olive oil and paper towel... get's grease off super quick.

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

Last Aussie 😁

[@Lawnvolution]

Good afternoon! 😎👊🍺☕️

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

George, good early. Saturday morning to you. Have a great weekend. 😎☕️🍺👊

[@YardEnvy]

I don't see the mixing video link 🤔

[@cjahlert]

Like the boots. Did you make the boom on your sprayer?

[@Sig_P229]

My reel is as loose as it can be in relation to the bed knife while still cutting paper. Were you saying that is the best to backlap or tighten it more and the paste will loosen it? Edit: It cuts paper but still moves fairly freely when rotated

[@Sig_P229]

@Mike Charron Thanks. Immediately after backlapping, there isn't a need to adjust the reel to bed knife right after, correct?

[@mattyburrows9059]

why dont you use a finer grit after the 120 grit? because we cant be arsed..but you carry on lol

[@dronemaddness5148]

Good day mate😉.... Been awhile. Can you backlap a Swardman?

[@CaydenVanz]

While its spring for him Im freezing in the cold weather

[@robsmith7430]

What about the air gap ? We are contactless the UK

[@derekjatkinson]

Where can I get a pair of those boots?

[@maxcole750]

What kind of grass is in your yard

[@katkanero1]

Can you tell me where to get your backpack setup please!!!! I need a wide spray like that

[@drumsonly44]

It’s on his website www.lawntips.net/lawnequipment/solo-2-nozzle-boom

[@katkanero1]

Thank you

[@allanwilliams1620]

What kind of mower is that one

[@carlos-luisluna5828]

12:28 🤚

[@franklingranados8361]

👌👍👍

[@jasonhayward405]

Where do you get your golf flag

[@alex03cor6]

what type of grass is your putting green?

[@daltonyates9937]

His green is Bentgrass

[@derektestorff1900]

Can you dig up a spot next week to show how deep the roots are?

[@Anon.G]

Maybe check his golf hole relocation video

[@TheScalyman]

Good Vid. I think you need to sort that Poa out.

[@LawnTips]

Sure do. I’m going to deal with it mostly this season though and suppress it with PGR and the heat. Will put pre-emergent down next autumn

[@emericaman16]

Mate, what up yo?

[@joelwilliamson2403]

I think I know why the noise is there with the blades. There is to much paper getting caught up inside!!

[@Mouseofdoom]

Bandaides appeared at 3:04 ouch

[@waynekerr8003]

Not first...

[@larshoneytoast722]

Dont see why you need to take the whole spark plug out. Just pull the plug wire off then there's no possibility of current flowing to the spark plug which is the whole point

[@ashleyw1393]

You should watch the video that Brenton from the Aussie Lawn did on mower maintenance in particular where he showed how it was possible for an engine to run with the spark plug lead removed. Long story short even removed sufficient current can be induced to run the mower.

[@larshoneytoast722]

@@ashleyw1393 just watched and that's a good point but the plug wire was still touching the plug he even went as far as to move the plug wire away and the engine started cutting out. So basically as long as the wire and plug make no physical connection (which I make sure to do) then there is zero current because, well, physics. But like I said good point

[@jorisnooij7822]

I'm not much of a reel mower specialist especially power driven ones, but that reel is making far too much contact in my opinion. Backing off till its just less than a grass blade off, get yourself some thickness gauge blades and set it right.

[@AccountSpace]

Whats up with your neighbors lawn? Do they really not care at all

[@shut_your_legs]

Still drought conditions in most of NSW, especially out west in Orange, with water restrictions. Ben has the advantage of having a well/bore, to water his lawn

[@AccountSpace]

@@shut_your_legs make sense but they could at least trim the grass up

[@godhaines]

1st

[@roryryan980]

Such a boring garden tho 😂
