Not only step sons needed this. I’m a woman and found it helpful.

[@MyStepdad]

So glad it’s helpful. 🙂

[@calledbygrace2]

I'm a girl, whose dad was there physically but not there emotionally, also he never taught me these types of things growing. And I just started a small little business to make a little extra cash and this has helped me a lot thank you so much I’m glad there are people out there like you who care🙌🏾

[@MyStepdad]

I'm glad you're here! 😀Good for you for starting your own business! 💚 You'll want to check out these two Stepdad videos if you haven't seen them yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PJc3ytZp2agKM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYrGfZaGipycg80.

[@kellistrock4561]

I'm not a stepson but I am now a widow and have not mowed a lawn in over 30 more like 40 years. I enjoyed watching your video it was helpful.

[@MyStepdad]

So glad it was helpful! My condolences on your loss. Kelli, If there's anything else I can help make a video about for you, let me know.

[@MarabellaMuncey]

Thank you! My son and I watched this video together. Now he is going to mow the lawn.

[@MyStepdad]

That's Awesome! Let me know how it goes for him. 😀

[@MarabellaMuncey]

@@MyStepdad He did a great job!!! Thank you for the video!!!

[@cmm5131]

Great video... I did fantastic on my first mow. I'm a girl, Can you also say "stepdaughter" orvstepsons and daughters?😏 We are learning a lot from you. Thanks again, stepdad!

[@MyStepdad]

Thank you so much!! I hope every "stepdaughter" out there knows I love her too! Keep watching, even if I usually talk to the boys. 🙂

[@theboomyouhate]

Thank you, my father has always been far from me and my grandfather has just passed so the mantle of mowing my grandmothers house fell to me, i feel confident i understand what to do thanks to your video😄

[@MyStepdad]

Good for you, for looking after your grandmother!

[@jordyortiz4211]

My dad was never saavy to these things so he never taught me anything like this. Thank you very much. All the best. From the UK

[@MyStepdad]

Glad it helps! Thanks for the kind comment!

[@juicebox7048]

This is my first year having a yard and I can’t wait to learn more from you! Thank you for your help. 🙏

[@MyStepdad]

If you can’t find a video about what you need, let me know and I’ll see if I can make one for you. 🙂

[@bluebee825]

I’m not a son but my dad and brother are both not in my life and this video has been very useful to me. Thank you for taking the time to make this video

[@MyStepdad]

So glad to know! Most of the videos I post aren’t gender related, though some are. I’m glad you are benefiting from them too! 🙂

[@whatthemath]

That threw me off! Lol. I’ve never seen one of his videos before. I was like waaaait I’m a stepdaughter lmao

[@772CODEMASTER]

This is a great video. I genuinely appreciate you providing this content, it was exactly within the context of what I was looking for in a beginner video.

[@MyStepdad]

Glad you liked it! I hope it helps. Let me know how it goes.

[@SoniaMiranda85]

This video was a God-send! My dad had a stroke 3 weeks ago and is unable to walk or speak & the lawn is outrageous at the moment. I'm a 36 year old female & the last time I mowed any lawn was when I was 11 (doing the yard work when my Grampa didn't feel well). The part of this video where you mention the option of mulching is best for shorter grass compared to taller was a BIG & thoughtful tip that I will be sure to remember! Thank you sooooo much for uploading this video. I work graveyard so I plan to mow the lawn today & clean up the edges tomorrow morning with the weed whacker. I am now subscribed to your channel and will watch any and all videos. Thank you from Southern California!

[@MyStepdad]

So sorry to hear about your dad having a stroke. I hope he recovers soon and completely. Comments like yours are so encouraging. Thank you for taking the time share it!

[@klostars]

I JUST mowed my first lawn today with no help. This video seriously gave me confidence and gave me very helpful advice I wont forget. Thanks Step-Dad! lol

[@MyStepdad]

You made my day! So glad to hear! 🙂

[@teeth_550]

Thank you so much ive been wanting to start a lawn mowing business for a while and i was so stressed earlier so thank you

[@MyStepdad]

I’m glad this was helpful! Good luck with the lawn business. Let me know how it goes!

[@teeth_550]

@@MyStepdad Allright thank you again il let you know how it goes

[@rowannyaa]

I have an awesome dad but I’m a new homeowner because I inherited my mom’s place after she passed a few months ago, we’re both busy adults so these videos will be a big help! Got a lot of yard work tomorrow, wish me luck 🙌

[@MyStepdad]

So glad you have a great dad! Let me know how the yard work goes. Check out the playlist for yard work here: kzbin.info/aero/PL8uE_G8NCWWyoNVxnShRVbm8dhZuyNiIq Let me know if you’ve got other questions. Good luck Rowan!

[@HeyYall398]

Thank you dad! This is very helpful. I'm going to do my first mowing!

[@MyStepdad]

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes.

[@HeyYall398]

@@MyStepdad Hello Stepdad! My mowing went really well today. Your video gave me the confidence to break the ice. I was extremely nervous to begin with and scared if I will be even able to start the mower. Thank you so much!

[@whatthemath]

Thanks for the video! I usually do all the mowing cause I think it’s fun. But our riding mower pooped out on us so for now we only have a push mower. I’ve never even touched one! Lol.

[@MyStepdad]

Riding mowers are more fun! We had close to a half an acre at our last house. Took me 3-4 hours with a push mower. When I got the riding mower it was an hour and 14 minutes of fun. 😀

[@jessicasteele2761]

Thank you!

[@MyStepdad]

You’re welcome, Jessica!

[@DanikaStMyers]

This was a lovely video- thanks!

[@MyStepdad]

So glad it was helpful for you, Jennifer!

[@mirrorballmusings]

This is fantastic thank you so much!

[@MyStepdad]

You’re very welcome! Glad you found the video 🙂.

[@amazingcabbage39]

The photo of you and the boy going down that water side in the intro is hilarious 😂😂

[@MyStepdad]

That was actually sitting in a small waterfall at a scout camp. The water is about 38 degrees and the challenge is to sit in the water for 10 seconds. They call it the Polar Bear challenge. I used to hate it.

[@Zeett09]

I mix up my mow patterns week-to-week. I don’t know why. Just my preference I guess.

[@MyStepdad]

To be honest, I've still got one child at home, so he does the mowing. Maybe I'll mix it up when I have to mow it myself again. 🙂

[@rachelnico]

Thanks

[@MyStepdad]

You’re very welcome, Rachel! Good luck mowing!

[@joemamaisobama5788]

Is it better to just mow in the circular motion working your way in? I try doing simple stripes and for the most part it looks fine until you like near the tree

[@MyStepdad]

When I say, "circular" I really mean from the outside in, but I'm like you, I do the stripes. When I get to a tree, on the last pass before I would "run into" the tree, I do a circle around the tree, then go back to the last strip I was mowing before, then, mow straight at the tree, then back off and mow the one on the other side of the tree, and then mow the half strip on the opposite side of the tree that didn't get mowed yet. If that makes any sense. It gives the appearance of having mowed "through" the tree, but you can still see the circle around the tree as well.

[@Ph1lem0n]

What kind of toro lawnmower is this?

[@MyStepdad]

It is a 22” Recycler, mode #20016

[@davetrayford]

NOOOO ! BEFORE starting the mower, turn OFF its power source t then assure it has the CORRECT blade, is securely attached, balanced, free of defects, and SHARP. THEN you survey for, and REMOVE actual and probable HAZARDS, THEN PLAN your mowing paths and patterns. THEN , with physical protection gear on (ear plugs to avert sharp and/or loud mowing and trimming sound/noise, eye-protective glasses/goggles,and dust mask, clothing,THEN U MAY START the MOWER !!!

[@MyStepdad]

You should make a video demonstrating all these steps. That would be great.

[@davetrayford]

NO ONE can mow like a PRO because mowing is merely a modestly-skilled form of LABOR and otherwise LACKS any of the requisite criteria of ALL PROFESSIONS, including a MASTER or higher academic DEGREE in a professional academic field (law, Psychology, MEDICINE, etc.).

[@MyStepdad]

I imagine all of the professional lawn care companies might disagree with this assessment.

[@sakuna74]

Thanks stepdad! From a stepdaughter 🫶🏽

[@MyStepdad]

I love my Stepdaughters!!
