[@muxxor9492]

I would like to see Honda to come out with a 30” mower.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

Me too! I would buy one for sure.

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

One that we could afford, 400.00

[@iiiStUNA9]

I’ve been searching for awhile for them to release one!

[@GamerGee]

That’s my dream. 30 inches with a 5” max. I wish I knew how to engine swap a fast Honda motor on a exmark to get a good mix of things.

[@alexsyt462]

They used to make rider mowers

[@dee5421]

I used to enjoy walking the lawn but it would take 5-6 hours. So I invested in a 42 inch tractor and used it for 13 years until it was hard to get parts to repair. Since I was older and had gain a little weight I bought another self propelled mower. I quickly realized how bad my knees had gotten but tough it out anyway for two years. Now I have a 52 inch zero turn and definitely enjoying the mow again here in north Florida.

[@hi.courtneyedwards]

You just helped me understand so much about purchasing a lawnmower. I still don’t know how to mow the lawn but I know how to buy a mower and that’s the job that’s most important to me right now. Thank you.

[@YouAreMySenpie]

This guy just goes to show how when you add love to any subject, it’s enjoyable and fulfilling. Did not expect to love this video!!💚

[@ElainesDomain]

I moved to a house that has around 70,000 sq ft of front lawn. We ended up getting the Cub 50'' deck tractor. Scratched the zero turn because of the need to use a trailer and other things. It easily climbs more than factory recommendations which is needed here. It still takes me a while to cut the grass/weeds. I saw your Simplicity rider and would prefer that but not for the cost. At the old house I used a 1974 McLane front throw. Loved that mower. Good luck to those looking at new mowers. We're fortunate to have LCN to help us. Thank you nerdy guy

[@ericweatherall9028]

I’ve watched 2:05 min of your video... and you might be the best KZbind on the planet. You get directly to the point and there’s no bull shit. I love it.

[@tkendr01]

Thanks for the 75 minute number. North Texas 1 acre was using JD LA105 42" and it was taking 2 hours which was a bummer. Tonight I mowed with the JD X570 54" (deck extends beyond the wheels) in 50 minutes. Just push the pedal all the way down and only let off for the turns. Yes, it's a beast of a mower. No clumping.

[@GtaGuruYT]

Great video, refreshing to see someone passionate about something I find a chore. I’ll follow your wise advice and am sure will have much less headaches ahead 👍, also despite your clear experience, you’ve explained at a level majority can understand which is greatly appreciated.

[@sirtubemaster]

After 3-years this is all still relevant! I was so stressed out about choosing a mower, this video was the answer!

[@patkane5018]

Old Lawn Boy guy here. 40 years old and starts on first pull for first mow of the year. They never die! Great stuff LCN!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

Oh yeah, solid units!!

[@Alex.AL_26]

My lawn is about 50,000 square feet and my first mower was a 50 inch toro time cutter, it was a good mower but I wanted to upgrade, so after a few years I decided to purchase a commercial zero turn, an Exmark Lazer Z with a 60 inch deck. It was quite a bit more expensive than a residential unit but it is fantastic. Everything is built heavy duty and feels solid, the cut quality and striping is better than most residential mowers and it is quite fast as well. It you have over an acre to mow, want a heavy duty mower with excellent cut quality, and don't mind spending upwards of $10K then you will definitely enjoy the mow with a commercial mower.

[@tiger5551]

I have a lawnboy from 1973. I haven’t had to get a new mower ever since it was built in 1973. Liked I so much I bought 8 more

[@Rick_Schott]

About 19,500 sq ft of lawn here (finally measured it today after being here a year... my bad). Love my Timemaster for this but you’re spot-on, most would be happier with a ZTR for a patch this size. In our neighborhood there are equal parts lawn tractors, ZTRs, lawn service customers, and then there’s me.

[@traviscade3186]

First off I'm new to the DIY lawn care. Bought new home in December. Lawn is about 13.5k to 14k. Bought the 30' timemaster because of your reviews. Used it about six times and love it. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos and helpful tips on youtube and your cool season ebook.

You really do now You stuff and for You to take the time to share and help other across the country is just wonderful. I hope that I get a chance to meet You one day and say thank You in person but until then THANK YOU.

awesome thanks bro! I plan to do some meetups in the coming months when things lighten up too. 🤘

[@michaelprice7005]

I just got a 30" Cub Cadet rear-engine rider because I want to cut more often and enjoy it. I still have to use a 22" Murray push mower I've had for 17 years for the areas the larger mower can't fit into. My goal is 3 mows a week. I mowed yesterday in central Massachusetts and today it's snowing.

[@zman221]

Hey Allyn- I just bought a greenworks 25inch duel blade self propelled electric mower that takes 2 60v batteries. An industry 1st. I really love it and it makes me look forward to my mow every week 😁👍

[@turboflush]

Front propelled is nice because you can momentarily disconnect the propulsion without trying to throttle the handle.

[@jarroddraper5140]

I got a all wheel drive one its different for sher and the other mower i use often its all hills and some one before i got thare broke it so its a 6 mile up hill battle if your out of shape. If i warn some one i call it a lead slug

[@jarroddraper5140]

Woops its a rwd toro

[@grimfeather7969]

I wanted to thank you for all of the videos you put out. I bought my house over two years ago and have been using a rickety hand me down mower to get the job done. The front lawn was completely dead with most of the area being bare ground spots. Watching your videos has helped me get the entire area green again. My entire property area is around 17000sqft and this video highlighted the problem I was having. Having to push around that old mower over the entire area is exhausting and takes forever. Watching your last review between the Honda HRX and new Toro 2020 Super Recycler finally convinced me to stop doing it the hard way. Having the larger size lawn, I was also looking at the riding lawnmowers, but I have way too many trees and obstacles on the property and a ton of dense grass that was bogging down my current mower and stalling it out. Thanks to you, I decided to pull the trigger on the Toro Super Recycler 21387 with the 190cc engine and Smartstow capabilities. It arrived yesterday and I cant wait to break it out for the time. It is an investment that I probably should have picked up way earlier than this, but I think using the old mower will make me appreciate the upgrade that much more. Once again, thanks for all the courses on KZbin University, they have been invaluable to me. Keep up the awesome content.

[@tomr9509]

The best mower I have is a 2005 John Deere JS63C. It's a what you would call a zero turn walk behind. Very easy to move around obstacles and your also able to lock the front casters to mow straight. Why others never really followed this concept I'll never know. Cub Cadet has something similar but it's not built as well, just goes to show 15 years and still going strong.

[@joeking6309]

I had been buying the cheapest mower for years, and finally invested in a Toro Recycler, quite a difference in the quality of the mow.

[@fb1781]

After 10 years of service I retired my Recycler (still runs just wanted something new) and joined the Timemaster family. I love this mower! Only complaint is it burns through fuel. Can't double cut my 8K lawn without refueling.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

I have heard that before too - it' definitely heavy and requires some gas to keep it moving!

[@MrPrediluted]

75 minutes would be a dream! I have about 18,000 square feet of lawn, and had been doing it with a Honda 21" walk behind. That took 1 hr 45 min, then edging took another hour. Just purchased a 48" ride on, and working on redoing a number of edges to help reduce the amount of edging I need to do. I enjoy the work to am extent, but 3 hours every weekend is draining and means it doesn't always get done.

[@sophiahegmann8387]

Thank you! First time mower here after living in the desert. I appreciate all the advice!

[@aeromedical6750]

Up to 1/3 acre can easily be handled with a push mower. On top of that, it’s good exercise. I actually enjoy mowing my lawn when I have the grass in good shape. I put on my noise cancelling headphones and find a good classic rock station. This was my Saturday morning routine up until I sold my house last September.

[@yu2fr]

I just moved to a 1/3 acre and bought a 22inch. Haven’t used it yet and have been debating returning for a 30. But I think I’m going to stick with the 22. I don’t mind a few more minutes and the exercise. Don’t have much trimming at all either.

[@johnschmid2316]

I bought my house when I was 25. Large yard. Young and stupid I thought I didn’t need self propel . 15 years later same mower and pushing 40. I need a self propel.

[@jakestoe]

I did the same thing. Had my old push mower for 18 years. (I'm now 48) I Still have it but just upgraded to the Toro Super Recycler. My first ever self propelled mower..took a few mows to get used to it but I am liking it.

[@chevyvega6622]

and we all wonder where in freak has the time gone!!!!

[@MichaelRei99]

Great video Allyn! If I was in need of a lawn mower I’d have plenty of info to make my decision. I’ve owned my Honda HRX217 top of the line mower for over 15 years. I didn’t take good care of it when I first had it but the last several years I baby it. I even upgraded the folding handle clips. It’s running as great as the day I bought it and I foresee having it for quite a bit longer. So even though I paid over $800 for it I consider it money well spent! Thanks for all of the great content you keep churning out!!

[@TheSodFather09]

Love the green screen with you talking and the video in the background, gives that old school crown point feel with a newer style . Great video brother !

[@DK85]

To iterate what I said on your video on the 52" Simplicity - and I can't stress this enough - if you ever mow any inside curves, a ride-on mower that has a deck only as wide as the mower itself is a huge pain. I have the 38" Simplicity and love everything about it except that the left side of the deck doesn't extend beyond the tires so I can't cut-in without the left front tire going into a flower bed and crushing the edging. So I have to hit it with the trimmer later or change my edging radii to match the mower's capabilities. Either way, I made work for myself and I hate that. Probably being the first person ever to use "radii" in a sentence on a lawn care channel helps me cope. 🤣🤣

[@lawnrebel]

I have not yet finished watching this video yet but I have to say.... this is a very informative video. I like it.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

Thanks bro

[@philipramsden4975]

I've had my 22" self propelled Toro for 13 years now. Yard is about 9000 sq ft. The gear box on the front drive wheels busted a few years ago and didn't bother to fix it, so it's strictly a push mower at this point. Probably replace it with a rear drive in the next year or so. One thing I noticed was I can keep the lines straighter when I don't use the self propelled feature, but it only had one speed

[@quisp1492]

I just bought a house and have been turning to your videos for lawn care advice. Thank you so much for putting these up! Also, I love the background music you use in your videos.

[@eb6195]

Your info is "spot on" as they say nowhere around here. I've had a kid lawn mowing business and then had 3 daughters that wouldn't mow lawns. So I have been mowing lawns since I was about 10 (and I am no longer a young man!). I've always liked Toro mowers, but have found you can get a lot for your money with a Craftsman (Sears), they still around? I'd like to see a video on mowing fields & weeds. There are a lot of differences like cleaning the air filter, techniques like raising the deck to avoid engine cut out, no bagging, wearing something over your mouth and nose to keep dust out, rocks ... Lots of opportunity for some nuanced content. Love what you do! 😁

[@jovalleau]

Purchased a battery powered kit with mower (21inch deck and bag and side discharge attachments), trimmer, and blower from Greenworks Pro. I finish my lawn in about an hour if I do a complete job (full trim and mow). I can complete everything with one charge for each item (mower and trimmer). The mower is self propelled, but I rarely use it, as I imagine it would negatively impact the battery life. They've all performed amazingly so far.

Its my 2nd one i have owned and at 71 years of age i deserve to relax at my mow and i hope you do to. Mow on and drink responsively, Cause the beer you spill wont be mine.

[@donb1183]

Small engine makers switched from using horsepower to using torque as a measure of engine strength. "cc" is a measure of engine size and is generally proportionate to engine power but torque is the power unit now used. All of your big box push mowers had a torque measurement on them.

[@nickkucek8772]

Just got a mulching plate for my zero turn. Going to move to cutting 2 times a week at 3 3/4” on my cool season lawn and see how it plays out

[@jeffreybryson]

I tried using just one mower for 25k sq ft lawn... Husqvarna 21hp/46" deck but it wasn't enough for the 1/2 acre back yard with a hill and "too much" for the front and sides since it was leaving marks around trees and tearing up spots having to turn around a lot. I picked up a Honda push mower to do the front and around the house. Sold the Husqvarna for a barely used Craftsman Pro Series 26hp/54" deck for the back. Front looks amazing now, especially with DIY striper. Neighbors all jealous. Back, ugh, beat up by the big mower. So it's possible to have "too much" mower.

[@RYFABGarage]

Love how you're involved with the freedom factory!

[@jamesgray5560]

[@AK4TF]

I don't deal well with the heat here during the summer in NW Louisiana, so mowing becomes a chore. The last year or two was with a Husqvarna 22" AWD mower. Plenty of power, but still a bit to handle. Wanted a wider cut, like the 33" CC800 from Cub Cadet. Ended up getting an Ariens Edge 34" ZTR. Should be showing up this weekend and looking forward to mowing 2-3 times a week with it, even on my smaller lawn.

[@JohnSmith-dj5gf]

I mow a quarter acre with a JD X590. I’m done so fast I started mowing the widows lawn next door for free. Also pull a dump cart, a lawn aerator, and plow snow with it.

[@ddzado]

So I watched this video and decided to #enjoythemow. My 5yr old mower bit the dust and I bought a new one today. Glad I knew more about what I was looking for #becauseofyou.

[@-DexterMorgan-]

To change blades/ clean under the deck with a zero turn you can skip the jack and just pull the front wheels onto a higher surface, wedged blocks, trailer gate, or a hill to change the blades. chock the rear wheels and raise the deck all the way up 👍🏻

[@TheLawnCareNut]

excellent tip thank you!

[@StrikitRich]

Had my 190cc Timemaster for about 4 years. Never going back to a 21"-22" deck. Almost always bag to keep the weeds from spreading. Noticed the Mowers, Inc. sticker on the Super Recycler. Good people.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

[@icawn]

I have a rider for 1 acre. Soft areas from septic laterals are terrible. Rider weight causes tire impressions and mud tracks. Once in a while i get stuck. I thought about getting a walk behind so the yard doesn't get destroyed in soft areas. No one on youtube appears to have to deal with this lol.

[@rickwithturftyme7264]

You really should do one on commercial mowers. I bought a used Encore 32" for half the price of a TimeMaster and could never see myself going back to a residential lawnmower. Cut quality is amazing for just the RPM factor. Yes you probably have to do some searching but I am so happy with my mower for residential purposes.

[@Kingswood7189]

I'm happy with my toro smartstow fwd. Makes for a clean cut and when I'm done, store it upright. It saves a lot of space in my shed. :)

[@Neighborly_Content]

Love my tractor. I may have to do a little more to turn but with a dump cart, that her, core aerator, spike aerator/overseeder to tow its been well worth it. Next time I’ll probably go zero with a hitch to keep my implements in play.

[@bigotonbrand]

The cutting height is the only thing to look at. The higher the better. Dont cut it low, and water the lawn everyother day at dusk or dawn

[@oliviagreen8853]

I have an old fashion push reel mower. Just blades and a handle bar. Works really well 😊

[@mateo85tx]

If I remember right there was a lawsuit on Briggs for claiming a certain amount of HP. From my understanding HP and torque will both change on a lawnmower based on raising and lowering RPM so none of them are exact because of difference in RPM. When I worked at a local lawnmower retailer we would check and adjust RPM on all new mowers that we assembled to whatever spec that particular manufacturer recommended. So now they just put the CC and don’t claim any specific amount of HP.

[@jeffwallace8437]

When you had the zero turn and you passed in front of the camera and blew the St Augustine grass clippings towards it, I could smell the grass, because I've been mowing lawns over 20 years. That tall wet green St Augustine smells soooo good.

Another great video! I have about 2.5 acres of actual lawn and another 3.5 of "I don't care" grass/weeds. I bought a John Deere E180 from Lowe's. BIG mistake! I hated mowing the lawn after the first few cuts, that mower was so uncomfortable and the lawn was beating it to death. I went to an actual JD dealer to trade it in while it was still in good shape (55hrs, not all mowing) I was going to get an X350, then the salesman showed me the X400 line. I upsold myself on an X590 though... Then I changed my mind again, I now have a JD X758 with a 60" deck, power steering, 4wd, diff lock, 3cyl diesel engine, suspension seat and a bunch of other stuff. The only thing that takes away from the sting of the price is mowing, or just being on this machine.

[@dannybirai]

[@darinking1343]

Excellent video Allyn, you covered a lot of topics with great information. I've owned cheap $100 mowers, mowers with big rear wheels that cost $200, a John Deere lawn tractor and now, at our new home, I have a TimeMaster. I like you, have just over 10,000 sqft, and I don't mention the 2,000 sqft footprint. So the TimeMaster was just barely on the edge of overkill, and I had already sold my JD as I need the exercise. So for three reasons, the exercise, the quality of the mower, and recommendations from you, Ryan, and a few others, I went the TimeMaster. Thanks for all the videos you do and for how much you've helped me over the past 3 years since I've "found" you!

I upgraded my push mowers this year to a Honda HRX 217 and the HRS 216 and I Love them !!! Then again I use it for Residential commercial use I got tired of replacing Toro decks every year one thing I noticed about all the Honda's is their decks are more robust whereas the Toro they tend to wear out and crack around the discharge chute...

[@FranklySpeaking73]

Honda is good but heavy as crap! Good luck if the self propel belt ever snaps! Or if you have to pick it up for loading.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

@@FranklySpeaking73 That is why I always check the tension on the HRN but my HRX is Hydrostatic Drive. The HRN belt is simple to replace. First one lasted 3 seasons but was stretched to the max I felt comfortable about 10 minutes worth of work it is back in business. I carry a set of aluminum ramps that make loading and unloading a breeze, but I manage just fine lifting them into the bed of my truck as well.

[@alexhickey5633]

As someone who mows lawns semi-commercially, a 22 inch mower is more than sufficient to get the job done. My own has a 161cc briggs DOV engine on it and gets a minimum of 10 hours of use put on it every week. It bags and mulches and also rear discharges which just works better for me. There's a lot to be said for having a nice mower in that sense. On the other hand i have a home made brute of a mower for knocking tall grass. 18 inch blade and 206cc. It just does its job. Both machines have their place

[@FishFind3000]

For sharping my blades I can pop off my John Deere d120 42” deck in less than 10min if that. It’s 6 quick pins and a belt. If I had to go as fast as possible it could de done in 2min. If your mower is 42” you can fit them in the back of a pickup. Just need ramps. Cheaper than buying and registering a trailer. So if you need to take it to another property like me. It works great. If you go through ramp route get longer ramps. Even the harbor fright ramps with an arch aren’t good enough. I had to modify them also to make it work. Get some 9ft ramps. Or look into the big boy 10-12” ramps. Those are awesome but not cheap.

[@DR-tq8yp]

I have a JD s240 with the same 42" deck. I dont even take the deck off to remove the blades. I just lift the deck all the way and put two wheels up a curb or small hill and can reach under with a 15/16 no problem. Downside i guess is you have to lay on the ground to do it.

The last mower a bigger John Deere that doesn’t like to go straight, it has the nick name of curvy. We also have to push mow around the grade school its all a big hill and we got a self propelled mower that didn’t work (it kinda Does now) so that was a good Abs work out. Its about a 6 mile walk to mow it all. But ya my first year all i got done was mow the buffalo grass for 3 days then Wednesday mow grade school hill weed eat what i couldn’t hit and it would be time to go do the other towns school for a day.

Lived in FL my whole life and I've always hated the ol' St aggg. You sure have changed my mind on it, I've just never seen it properly taken care of.

Best advice for budget. Don't cheap out and buy what you really want. Take advantage of the zero percent finance deals.

I just bought a Toro 60v 6.0 amp hour battery. I’m gonna post all thoughts and stats of it if your worried about going to batteries .

Please do

Been thinking about this or the ego model. I’d be downsizing in size but my mower is older and needs some kind of repair every year

Just bought a SunJoe 16" ion battery operated mower. LOVE IT!!!! The mower feels like pushing a vacuum cleaner around because it is so light. Almost no vibration too. I have carpal tunnel in my hands which gas powered lawn equipment will hurt. I have to recharge after doing the front lawn but I'll just get another battery later. Right now I say 5 stars.

I bought one last July. No performance issues. Still very happy with it!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

I hope to get one soon myself.

Love my John Deere GT235 even though it is a bit big for my city lot, I used to have country acreage that took about two hours to mow. Great shot of some Freedom Factory mowing!

I have 10,000 square foot lawn in Iowa I've been mowing every three days so far with a Honda push mower from start to finish around one hour trim a and all

I've got a quarter acre. I've got a big back yard and front yard. to me, not big enough for a driving mower, because some of my property is concrete (for a trailer, shed and a fire pit area, plus my deck and shrubs; all in the back) but with a 21" mower, it can take an 45 minutes to an hour, and that's not including edging. So, I bought a Toro Timemaster. To me, it's that perfect medium for the size of yard I have. It cuts the mow down 15-30 minutes, allowing me time for edging, fertilizer, and NXT products.
