Lawn care vlog #23 Small yard with tall grass & weeds

[@hd221813]

I love all these videos... SO satisfying to watch! You deeply motivate me to mow my lawn! Thank you!

[@Something2LookAt]

Thanks! That's why I make these. Happy mowing to ya!

[@dsldriver9900]

Most fun I ever had watching someone mow a lawn!

[@Something2LookAt]

Ha ha. Yep, you're hooked now Lee. Nice to see you here.

Wow,I wish I had your job it looks great

[@Something2LookAt]

It really is a fun job. :)

[@herbbenson6884]

I was sitting here thoroughly enjoying this video when my wife walks by and says "So you would rather sit here watching a lawn being mowed rather than going out and actually mowing one." She really knows how to kill a mood. I would like to see more of your videos but apparently right now there is a lawn outside that I have to go mow.

[@Something2LookAt]

LOL! Well, yea. It truly is more enjoyable to watch. It's even worse with me. I cut grass all day then watch grass getting cut all night. What's wrong with me?

🤣🤣🤣

[@TexasRose50]

Around here it's the opposite. Though we have yard guys to do the yard, I trim trees, clean gutters inside and out, clean mildew from two houses and garage, clean all the concrete, pull weeds from the gardens, and the list goes on....this morning, hubby told me I need to take the day off. But I need to bathe the dog before the rain comes. These videos inspires me to get up and move. Just like when I watch Hoarders. I get up and clear out the attic and closets and drawers. I've been known to clean the fridge during the commercials. I don't have OCD, I just like to see things cleaned, and not burdened by things we don't need, use or want anymore. And, when I use to be hung up on cooking and baking videos. My worst fear was making bread. I've overcome that and can make any bread I want. I just love staying busy. Btw, I'm 68 years old, and realize one say I will have to slow down. But till then.....:)

[@zeberlyn68]

the slo-mo of the edger tearing thru the sidewalk crack weeds was awesome!

[@Something2LookAt]

Thanks. I had been wanting to try that.

[@davidmckinney5707]

I do enjoy watching a lot of these videos with guys with their lawn businesses and they're doing the different jobs. One thing that I noticed is that a lot of the guys they'll edge if necessary then mold and then weed eat or trim last. I like the edge and weedy first and then the mowing to be the the next thing and finally use the blood to make everything nice and neat. It might be just me but I like weeding and edging first that way I can walk to yard and while I'm trimming can look at anything in the yard that that needs to be addressed like a hose stumps cause toys all kind of things that might get covered up if I'm mowing

[@gilsanchez7429]

Great video!!! Made my evening 👍🏻

[@Something2LookAt]

...and you made mine. Thanks for the comment!

[@knighthawk86855]

You really have it all figured out, awesome job.

first yard is very nice with all that saint agustian grass tyrned out very nice . second yard was a little rough and u made it look very nice . job well done on both yards . keep up the good work . see u in next vid..

Wasn't that just the worst cling-on infestation ever?

[@samjacobs4769]

Those kind of edging videos are so satisfying! Btw love the tundra!!

[@ethanbrock6256]

Great video

[@donaldwilliams7166]

Love those blades!

[@GrassDaddy]

nice that you care, many lawn crews will spray the weeds onto the other lawn and say that's what pre emergence is for

[@hallnoats4ever]

That yard is so far gone I'd just remove the grass and start over, lol

[@Something2LookAt]

You know, I've had another lawn service spray grass and weeds into the yard I'm doing. What are they thinking?

[@james-jl2ej]

Something 2LookAt when that happens, what you do is when you are doing the yard that got grass blown into you keep directing all the grass clippings back into the other yard as playback

[@omnimous69]

Well done!

[@gettinrings]

Watch how you aim the discharge towards trees when really close....I had a stick bounce off the tree and poke into my side .....dam thing went in my side about 1/2 inch deep. hurt like hell !! Man , you always get the high stuff.........LUCKY YOU RIGHT??? LOL !!!!!!!!

[@Something2LookAt]

Yea, something could bounce off the tree. It's happened many times but never a serious injury like you say. But yea, the high stuff is fun!

[@gettinrings]

At least Scag can handle the high stuff !!! I have a 48" walk behind I use for really tall stuff............a few weeks ago I mowed 1 1/2 acres with a lot of small one inch diameters pine trees about four feet tall...........my SCAG just went right over them! Two passes and you could not tell they were ever there!! Your right ..........IT IS FUN !!!!

[@Something2LookAt]

gettinrings Oooo, I am green with envy. I do like mowing the pine tree saplings. It's been years since I've done that. I hope I get a call for one of those this year.

[@gettinrings]

Something 2LookAt Something about turning the chute into those little trees and then..... whack..... very satisfying !!

[@Something2LookAt]

gettinrings YES, exactly!

[@Johnintoit]

Would buying that Scag Cheetah be considered a bad investment if I was only going to use to mow my property?, I bought a building lot I'm building my home on, I have a 2.5 acre lot but I'm hoping to be able to buy a few more acres behind me at some point and I plan to cut it all. Love watching these videos also, I think a lot of people would have just cut the weeded lot without that much thought about the neighboring property. awesome attention to detail.

[@Something2LookAt]

Thank you. As for your question, a Cheetah would be overkill for just 2.5 acres, but it would last forever, that's for sure. Smooth ride on the Cheetah too. The platform where you sit is on a spring. It just comes down to what you like. You'd certainly have bragging rights on your neighbors!

[@zerocool212121]

i actually enjoy yards like this. i am going to try and x my blades and see if i get any difference in the end. i can say it makes way more noise and airflow now we will see how it does in tall thick stuff. got one that hasnt been mowed for like 7 months hope i can test it out on it. id love to have that power on my little stander though

[@Something2LookAt]

Yea, it does help. Are you going to film that mow you're talking about?

[@zerocool212121]

i wasnt going to but i might see if i can get a clip of it or something i dont edit lol. last time i broke my dam phone showing what my trimmer can do and have no idea where my gopro is.

[@Something2LookAt]

zerocool212121 Ok I see. Careful then.

[@Cool58F250]

WOW !!! Mike... What a Difference from the first yard to the yard next door....That first yard the Grass was really Thick and Green.... and the other was just WEEDS... LOL....the Slow Mo shots were Really cool !!!! Height was 4 inches huh.. Looks Great.... Great Footage... and your Camera has AWESOME Quality Picture... It Looks Great at my end on my Computer. Huh First time i've seen that, putting your Throttle way down so it doesn't blow the grass out to far..Interesting.....That was some serious Edging and it came out very Nice.....What a Difference Mike... That was really Neat when you Edged Between the two concrete Slabs and in Slow Mo..... "COOL" I Thought Your Craftsman did a Fantastic Job Mulching up those Weeds.....Man That Cheetah makes it look Easy :) Great Vlog... Thumbs Up !!!!

[@Something2LookAt]

Thanks Danny. These 2 yards had a lot of variety to film. It was great fun!

Thanks!

[@the2060ish]

80% of lawn guys would not worry about the right mower to use on what grass. Good for you..

[@josephburkhalter5105]

Where is your exit cover for the mulched blades? Shouldn’t the muncher kit come with a cover to keep the cuttings under the deck and cut them time and again. Mine did on the Husky tractor . There is no discharge the the side. JoeB

[@dunritelawnmaintenance7984]

I love the video without the music I like the hear the machines engine work and it's the closet I come to mowing at 12am in the morning when I'm not mowing lls just turn to your KZbin station and click play .. sounds crazy but watching mowing videos relaxes me

[@Something2LookAt]

I'm glad. I'm really aware that about half you guys like real time with real sound, so I am trying to provide more of that. I keep source video for about 2-3 weeks so if you saw something in a montage that you really wanted to see in real time, just let me know and I'll post it.

[@MsSunwatcher]

I hate it when my sock slides down inside my boot. But you? You just march on. Good videos.

[@Something2LookAt]

Oh, hey, I do that on purpose actually. It stops stuff from going in through the top of the sock and making it's way to the bottom of the sock. Gravel and stuff get stuck in the folds.

[@hilham89]

nice job as always and with the double blading like that would think it would put alit of strain on the spindles and motor but it cuts really good though

[@knighthawk86855]

It's like..... Zen mowing.... Lol

[@spiritcallsus]

I just bought one, probably thanks to you. :-)

[@Something2LookAt]

Cool! You'll love it! Many people have bought these and told me it was because of my videos. And no, I get nothing from Scag. :(

[@bengus8148]

Four months? Around here with normal rain that grass and weeds would be that tall in about 3-4 weeks. Plus the weedy crap would be so full of moisture and sticky there is no WAY you could blow it out on a drive and then roll over it. It would stick to tires and stain the drive.

[@bobvila4381]

I really like the Cheetah....

[@willielukowsky6086]

I got a leaf blower just like that at my house!

X-bladeing your machines best thing you ever did bar nun.

Well get yourself ready because we've been talking about doing it again!

[@larryperdue508]

@@Something2LookAt there's a lawn care company that sells adapters for x-bladeing called Ballard.com you should check it out they make all kinds of parts to upgrade commercial lawn mowers.

[@JuniorFan08]

My lawn, if you can call it that, has gradually died out the last couple of years so wish I had some decent grass to cut.

[@michelebriere9569]

I remember when I lived in Florida we had some kind of grass that grew in tall spikes with segments, which we would pull apart. What kind of grass is that?

[@Something2LookAt]

I believe that is Dallisgrass. It's an anoying grass for us lawn guys.

[@dackerson5]

I would be careful with the siz blades. Unless those blades are balanced, its tough on the spindle bearings

[@Something2LookAt]

Very well balanced. In fact, the overall feel was smoother with 6 blades on.

[@dackerson5]

+Something 2LookAt . Wow. That's cool.

[@ZachWilliams-sd8hr]

times 2 billion very unique

[@warmfreeze]

i feel like the only thing that's going to happen with the 6 blade setup is you will go through belts and spindles faster.. :P

[@Something2LookAt]

Agreed. They are off.

[@warmfreeze]

Something 2LookAt yes....spindles for that mower are around $160 a piece.. not fun :P

[@Something2LookAt]

warmfreeze And these have been GREAT spindles by the way. As hard as I've been on them, they're still tight.

[@warmfreeze]

Something 2LookAt if you are in FL which it looks like you are...keep on eye on them if you mow sandy lots..the sand will tear them up quickly.. i have a 5 acre field in my back yard that i mow...i HAVE to replace my spindles every other season and thats with pulling the spindles apart every other time i mow the field and cleaning the sand out of them.. Anyway Awesome videos! thanks for posting these. and keep them coming!

[@Something2LookAt]

warmfreeze How on earth is sand getting inside the spindles?

[@grasshopperman1229]

just subbed.I like your style and im starting out in the bizz looking for all the best info i can get thanks for the informative vids.you have great equiptment but i kept eye-balling that awesome hat.whats the model name and where can i get one lol?

[@Something2LookAt]

The company name on the hat is Cursedi. Then below that it says RN#: EAR02. But I can't find it online. My dad picked this up for me from a veteran who was selling them on the side of the road. Hope this helps. It's an awesome hat.

[@swiftgreen]

So two yards side by side mowed at different heights. The tall one looks good the short one looks bad. Do you think raising the cutting height of the short yard would improve the look and long term overall health

[@Something2LookAt]

No, it really wouldn't. That yard needs a major weed treatment and fertilizer, which it will never get because it's a rental. The request on those is always "Mow it as short as you can." Sigh. Because they think it will buy them more time till the next cutting. They just don't get it.

[@swiftgreen]

Yeah I guess I assumed weed control was an option. I have customers that want super short cuts also drives me nuts 🙃

[@Something2LookAt]

Joel Gibson I have one who asks for a 2.00 inch cut. Here in Florida, gosh. But I do it. I just filmed that one actually but who knows when it will make it to the editor.

[@davidhancock818]

good videos. Personally I think you are underutilising a large mower for small residential yards, you also seem to be going over what has already been cut 3 times, is this just because you are manouvering the mower to get what you missed, i'm sure you are good at what you do, just offering refinement ideas

[@ernestlmorellsr]

... I am no grassatologist ( made up word) but it looks like the grass on the left was planted (sod) and when whomever removed the old grass from the property on my left, they dumped it on the property on my right. could be what do I know? like I said I'm not a grassatologist...

[@glenvaillancourt1575]

have you ever had a Ferris zero turn? pros and cons .

[@Something2LookAt]

No, but I know someone who has. They look to be pretty good.

[@BoogieTX]

why do people use those edge things instead of weed eater? leaves a much better look

[@Something2LookAt]

The grass is different here. It's almost like cutting sod. A trimmer can do it, but not as well as an edger

[@jaytee8221]

first time I hear of or see a six blade system. did you buy the blades that way or is this one of your inventions? is it called six blade for the blade itself and 5 teeth on top? would like more info on blades

[@Something2LookAt]

No, it's just an invention based on what some other guys have done. It's just 6 mulching blades, 2 on each spindle in an X configuration. A lot of guys do it. But as far as I know, not recommended by Scag.

[@fanofClips]

I have see the all video. Do you like your job ? What is the most high grass that you cut with the Cheetah ?

[@Something2LookAt]

I love my job. Highest grass was about 6 ft high.

[@fanofClips]

6 feet high ! this is impossible for to cut with a grass cutter.

[@clarknawrocki9718]

Mowing the cement

[@g00glechr0me8]

You better hope you don't throw a stone or other object that hits someone with your mower or you might have a problem since you've removed the safety device (plastic shoot).

[@Something2LookAt]

It makes it worse, but you can still break windows with the plastic shoot on.

[@g00glechr0me8]

I understand but with the cover on at least you can say you were using it as the manufacturer intended and a person with an injury might not have a strong case against you....just saying...not trying to be paranoid but I keep the plastic shoot on both my push mower and my rider.

[@g00glechr0me8]

I almost got hit in the face by a piece of flying wood because my family member was mowing the lawn and removed the plastic shoot....

[@gettinrings]

That could be used as an argument in court for neglect ! Your right about keeping all safety mechanisms on........JUST IN CASE !!!

[@usernamempk]

Don't you think that the Cheetah clears grass from a driveway bettter backing up than going forward?

[@Something2LookAt]

Backwards for sure.

[@bjg5275]

New subscriber and been binging. I don't think I have seen you use a grass catcher. Does the Scag pulverize the clippings that well where you don't need one? Just curious, looking to get a Scag for my property and also tired of raking or catching grass. Thanks again for your awesome videos!

[@Something2LookAt]

Well thanks for the nice comment. :) Yes, and I'm running mulching blades on it. Helps a lot. Here in Florida the clippings compost very quickly so you don't have to bag. None of the lawn services down here use baggers.

[@mikesoutfishing]

Hey Mike, do winters slow down for you at all in Florida? Great video bro!

[@Something2LookAt]

Yea it slows down, but it doesn't stop.

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Same here in Sydney Australia

[@CutandCleanTV]

Do you feel the extra blades will add stress to the spindles or any parts?

[@Something2LookAt]

Mainly the blade clutch. Mainly because it's so expensive. I just can't bring myself to leave these on. I switched back to 3.

[@ZentaneUnit]

How's it going with the great dane restoration series?That craftsman handled the grass like it was nothing :)

[@hallnoats4ever]

How is it so get so many yards that are over grown?

[@Something2LookAt]

It just looks that way because I'm only filming the overgrown ones. Most of my yards are nice and pretty. This time of year is when yards like this show up. We all get them.

[@Something2LookAt]

Yes. I keep meaning to contact them. From what I can see, they work pretty well on an open deck like mine, but may leave a strip on a mulching deck. I'm glad you mentioned that. I'll try to contact them.

[@Something2LookAt]

Yea, but I'm used to it.

[@nehivo996]

Something 2LookAt I understand but i do yards too and i get hit by rocks alot and is important to protect yourself

[@Mjc103]

I have to ask..... That looks like a $40 yard may $50 if it's a weekly. Did you charge them over a $100?

[@jimmynomad8793]

Is overheating with the GoPros a common issue? I just bought 2. How can it be avoided. I will be mowing in South Florida (Boca).

[@Something2LookAt]

Yes. They overheat easily in direct sunlight in their skeleton case. Try to keep them in the shade. Also, the lower the mode, the cooler it will run. I capture in 1080p 60 fps, but often go to 120 fps to get the slomo. 120 gets it hot real fast. And 4K, forget it. I had it overheat one time in 4K mode and lost half of what I thought I was filming. :(

[@jimmynomad8793]

Hmm.. maybe I could build something to combat that. I was thinking maybe a little wood box with the front and back open. Mount the GoPro inside, and mount a little usb computer fan to the back. then mount the box to a tripod. Keeping it shaded and cool. Or maybe just a little umbrella lol

[@Something2LookAt]

Everything+Lawn Care Ha, well actually I was just talking about this with someone today. I think it would come down to just something like a little umbrella, or just some kind of sun shade between the sun rays and the camera.

[@jimmynomad8793]

Yeah, that would probably be the best way to go. The problem though would be finding the right size umbrella. Do you remember those novelty hats you used to see people wearing back in the 90s, they were like a little umbrella hat? That would be the perfect size.

[@Something2LookAt]

Everything+Lawn Care Yea, that would be a nice size. But this is another thing we talked about. Problem with an umbrella is the wind. Even a slight wind is gonna blow the whole tripod over. We had decided that a sun shield would be the answer. This would be a plastic plate, probably in white to repel sunlight, or even mirrored, mounted by an bending mount to the tripod mast just below the camera. And it can be small, because the GoPro is small. Like, less than 12" square, so the wind won't catch it. I have yet to fabricate anything but this is the direction I'm going.

[@americanmadesnuffman6113]

which in your opinion is better, a scag or a badboy?

[@Something2LookAt]

I'm sorry, I haven't used a Badboy yet. They are just starting to show up in our area.

[@americanmadesnuffman6113]

+Something 2LookAt oh ok, badboy's are used a lot in my area. I think the scag and badboy will be a good rivalry

[@Something2LookAt]

king dipper Really. Our golf course just got one. All I can say is that I like the way they look. I'll play with one at some point.

[@americanmadesnuffman6113]

+Something 2LookAt yeah, one of our biggest lawn care companies around here runs a badboy and they do excellent but they do have a beefy price tag

[@Something2LookAt]

king dipper Yea but from what I'm seeing, they are a bit cheaper than Scag. And they have a stander! Wow, I'm glad you asked. I never really looked at them. But the only place that sells them around here is Tractor Supply. Not exactly a service shop. So if a Badboy breaks, where do you take it? I know my shop won't touch it.

[@wh8085]

Great job ! I didn't know Craftsman made a 33 ! I've been looking at a Cub Cadet 33 , it goes for about $1400. Is the Craftsman similarly priced ? Thanks

[@Something2LookAt]

It's hard to find the Craftsman. Mine is 10 years old. The Cub Cadet is exactly the same, they share the same parts. I have Cub Cadet replacement parts on my Craftsman. My Craftsman I caught on sale for $999 10 years ago but it doesn't even have the electric start. Trust me, the Cub Cadet is a good one!

[@wh8085]

Thanks much for the reply. I'm just starting my mowing service this year and am still trying to get equipped out . Woowee, it is costly and I don't have one customer yet ! Not sure if I'm a dummy or what . Bought a 36" Vride but I can see a use for a walk behind like that ! I will have one eventually . I still need a good zero turn but waiting to see if I get a chance at any large lots to decide what deck size I want. I bought the Vride for small city lots , hope it pans out ! Good luck, hope you have a great up coming season !

[@Something2LookAt]

For regular yards you really don't need a sit down zero turn. I'm actually bringing my stander back out this year because it just easier to maneuver in a regular yard. I have the zero turn because I have a bunch of yards over an acre. Good luck with your business!
