[@toddwhitbread6523]

Know they were just photos but so satisfying having the follow up in the same video

[@theaussielawn]

I was hoping to do an update video clip at the end but ran outta time

[@jon.bennett]

I’m tired just watching you do this. That’s a lot of work. Great job boys!

[@theaussielawn]

Cheers Jon

[@Jethro-us8vi]

With the aerator, you turn the revs down so it’s slower. Go around the perimeter and work your way in so you’re always moving. Going up and back at full revs is the hardest way to use it

[@theaussielawn]

Definitely agree with the revs mate, Good tip with using the unit too mate. Have a good xmas 🎄

[@calebevans8437]

That cub cadet is cool with the clear pipe can run over multiple times and see if your still picking up grass

[@mkii9110]

i have an commercial one. Their parts are pretty hard to get and very expensive for some reason in Australia. Their bagger’s lid strip (just a rubber strip) is 100aud here and no dealer has them in stock but it was like 5 usd in USA. I end up buying from USA and shipped here myself

[@mkii9110]

The pipe is 500aud to replace btw. I had mine replaced due to wood chip damage 😢

[@theaussielawn]

I'm really liking it, It does a good job

[@theaussielawn]

@@mkii9110 Hopefully I wont need to replace any of the bits, that does sound like a lot of money

[@phillipmills474]

Brent, i would love for you to do a review of the Draper 1500w corded Scarifier/aerator .. i bought one about 6 moths ago for my new place down in the Riverina for my mostly buffalo grass... and i love it, it does come with 2 sets of blades, 1 vertical cutter and one spring loaded tines, both work great and are probably ideal for small yards/ home use

[@theaussielawn]

I’ve got a similar unit on the channel soon mate. Oh you have moved from the valley ? Hope the Riverina is treating you.well

[@kangaroojack7252]

I am located in the States and absolutely love your videos! Sadly for us here they don’t offer that toro mower with the roller like he has I have tried many different ways to get one! What brand was the mower you used to scalp the lawn? I am in the market for a new rotary mower and did not know if there was one you might recommend that o can get here in the states! I know you use the reel mower but I figured it does not hurt to ask! Keep up the amazing work!

[@theaussielawn]

I've just had a little look at the toro US website It is definitely available but it comes under their golf range of machines . Link attached below mate www.toro.com/en/golf/specialty-equipment

[@michaelnitty1989]

After some advice. How soon after laying a kikuyu turf could you do a repair like this? My lawn is already so thick and thatchy and only been down 6-8 weeks. Cheers

[@theaussielawn]

Hi mate, good question since its only new turf I would probably have a look at this video I filmed (although this video features tiftuf the info will be relevant for your kikuyu ) Maybe wait till after Xmas though 😜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHW6oISPf7Sai9k

[@electrichorror6642]

Good way to trim that lawn, my missis has a similar regime

[@theaussielawn]

hahahaha

[@Philipk65]

Now the big question. How was the missus just after the lawn renovation in November and then in December?

[@theaussielawn]

As far as I know Shane is allowed back in the house haha

[@Philipk65]

@@theaussielawn lmao 🤣 good one Brenton.

[@TAFrench-lx4jv]

Nice video Brendan and co!! Wouldn’t it be easier on the scarifying machine if you scalped first? I know a lot of people do it that way, thanks

[@theaussielawn]

Na the scarifier wasn't even working hard believe it or not. I have done it both ways over the yrs but really this is the quickest way to get through all that grass

[@Hahehhwgajshah72726..]

Have the engine just ticking over on the bluebird mate and you won’t get dragged around like a rag doll.Thats the key with them.

[@theaussielawn]

haha your 💯 right mate! I was just being a bit silly with it also. Haha But I still don't like them haha

[@JM0X-007]

Great lawn reno, for a lawn that size how much sand did you guys end up getting?

[@theaussielawn]

from memory it was 2.5 cube

[@JM0X-007]

Cheers mate, looking to level mine next season 👍🏼

[@MartinbrownGardenservice]

What does something like that cost? Cheers good job

[@theaussielawn]

About $10 a sqm for a qualified greenkeeper mate

[@Aurora8783]

I like my lawn to look nice, but I’m not nuts about stripes!

[@theaussielawn]

I get that mate, Its not everyone's cuppa . there are places where they look outta place in my opinion too. Such as those nice tropical gardens with lawns that sweep around curves and gardens etc

[@TAFrench-lx4jv]

Hi Brendan, that rotary mower you use for scalping, will it go down to dirt or slightly above, say 3 - 4 mm? I tried to scalp with my rotary but it only goes down to about 15mm, I didn’t want to use the cylinder mower as I thought it would blunt the reel or damage the bed knife. What brand is that mower and where did you buy it? Thanks.

[@theaussielawn]

The one in the video is a Bushranger 21' utility mower, I have an after market blade spacer on it to enable to to get down to the 2-3 mm you mention. Good call about not wanting to ruin your cylinder mower with short renovations mowing. You can find them at Valley Outdoors group and if need be they can arrange fright for you

[@jimsbbqs4320]

What fert spreader is that?

[@theaussielawn]

I think it was a Wolfgarten one

[@mistermayhem6693]

Is there a reason the lines are not parallel with the kerbside?

[@theaussielawn]

Just personal preference for Shane I think mate. The stripes look nice that way from the road I’d say

[@mistermayhem6693]

@theaussielawn I re watched only to realise they go in two directions.. now I'm even more confused

[@artfullofheart1]

A lot of GREAT information about lawn care. I subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Great job! Hope you get a lot of subscribers and eventually get a lot of followers where you can do a lawn free once a month with money you eventually get from from KZbin. I think at about 100,000 subscribers you start to get a fairly steady income. Best wishes from Canada.

[@theaussielawn]

Thanks for tuning in all the way over in Canada stay warm mate, Have a great xmas. Down the track it could be definitely a possibility to do a free lawn

[@jasongarbutt4242]

That Club Cadet was fantastic. A much better way to pick up all that thatch. Would have loved to see you with Rick the Rake and a big bag, but clearly thats not how you roll in your older years. Great video mate.

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah does a pretty good job! Bugger the rake haha

[@xtractify]

Think you wanted to say "Anyway guys, if you've enjoyed this video, please like, subscribe and share with your friends"" 🤣

[@theaussielawn]

I think your right 😂

[@damodoesall6240]

Those drum aerators suck balls, punch/cam are the way to go.

[@NlCKED]

14:52 ?

[@NlCKED]

17:12 ?

[@theaussielawn]

Haha Shane’s mic was still on 😂

[@BenState]

Hahha all that work and it looks EXACTLY the same.

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah it does look pretty similar hey and thanks for sticking around right till the end 😎

[@Bundy5]

Geez nuke it all - Kikuyu is a horrible weedy lawn

[@theaussielawn]

You never know what the future may hold 😉

[@jasongarbutt4242]

Oh, aren't those blue birds just a wonderful way to spend some time on the lawn....

[@theaussielawn]

hahaha definitely not my flavour mate
