THICKEST, Most Overgrown Lawn Edges I've Cut In My Life! Atom Edger Video and...Overgrown Mowing!

[@novicracker1980]

Next time you run into over grown curb grass take a spade shovel and run it under the over grown grass to loosen the dirt and grass from the curb first then use your edger you will find by doing this little extra work that the clean up will take the same amount of time but get done much easier. I spent about 6 year doing lawn care in a professional manner. This was what I found to be the best way.

[@timthelawnmowerman]

That makes sense when you say it. Appreciate the tip! Thank you for watching 👌

Hey mate yes use the atom then use a shovel. Or the rske . Just keeo going over it. Its a baststd

[@joshable337]

I think a sawzall with a 10 inch blade with a Bena potentially better idea. I've done a few like that with my STIHL edger and weed eater, watching you do it gave me the idea of the Sawzall. I think some people call them reciprocating saws I'm not sure. But hey good job!

@@joshable337 I never thought of that. I’d be interested to see someone try it!

[@joshable337]

@@timthelawnmowerman I never tried it either, never thought of it before watching you do it with that Beast you had. And it popped in my head! You might not want to use a 10 inch blade and yet maybe that'd be perfect just running the blade Along cement curb, i would use a wood blade with big teeth you're just cutting grass and dirt. No more slinging and dirt all over you and fighting that bull. Just cut and peel it off with you shovel! I can't accept the genius of the idea you see I have a secret friend called the Holy Spirit, if he leaves me by myself I'll mess things up! God bless you and yours!

[@lisawaters2585]

So...speaking as the weed whacker/edger pro of our mom&pop lawn care business, I have to say that Aton edger looks like a real beast of a tool! You left a nice job after you finished...but-I would have to agree with your previous commenter who said you should have gone over it start to finish before you did all that pulling of soda and sweeping, etc. They were right...it's counter-productive for time's sake, but maybe you did it for camera angles and shots? At any rate, good job!

[@timthelawnmowerman]

Thanks Lisa, you’re right, the whole filming exercise is counter productive. Thanks for watching 😊

[@carolhankins5896]

The edging looks great. I gives a more manicured look to the boulevard. Awesome 👍🏻

[@timthelawnmowerman]

That’s how I like it too! Thanks for watching Carol☺️

[@Hockholliday]

Big tip for edges like this after a rain; Press the edges down as much as possible and make them compact, it forces excess moisture out and "flattens" the soil more over the edge. Then go back over it with the trimmer first to expose the edge; Proceed to edge it. Should make it a lot easier for you if you get thick edges like this in the future.

[@hellohello8556]

Mate looking at the before and after you should be proud of that lawn. Great job mate. That utility mower is awsome. Cheers! 👍

[@markh.6687]

That's some overgrowth there. Just doing that along some of my property using a turf cutter and leverage; glad I borrowed my friend's electric blade edger to do the next part. :)

[@MDZzzzz]

That atom lawn edger is probably the best designed edger I've seen. That one wheel makes it perfect for the grass that over grows on the gutter edge of the foot path, where the two wheeled edger fails to work. I want one!

[@chasermalloy7406]

Yes, the single wheel makes it great when the kerb and the grass are at different height. Go for the 2 stroke. Mine is the old Ryobi engined one. They are used at full revs as instructed and have more muscle than the 4 strokes for cutting through thick overgrown stuff like this. I had probably eight or nine hundred feet of overgrown edges to do. This old second hand atom did it with ease. I could not have managed it any other way in less than a week full time even if I was much fitter.

[@alexo9538]

Can’t agree with you there. The narrow space between the guard and the blade causes constant collecting of all the debris and you can see this guy is also having to unclog it multiple times. Poor design. Half assed job from the designers of the edger if you ask me.

[@chasermalloy7406]

I think the patent is still in force for these Atom edgers and that's why you don't see others making them. I will say that the 2 stroke ones have much more power. Mine is an old ryobi engined 2 stroke and still works great. They are meant to be used at full throttle in either case. This seems to be revving pretty slow. Still shows what a good job they do of course. Two wheeled vertical blade trimmers are a pain to use on kerbs where the level of the grass and kerb are different like this. These are the business and are available pretty much world wide.

[@gail8494]

[@philmills4473]

I'd laugh of you found a driveway under one of these one day 😂

[@rowangere8687]

Great video! I love edging and trimming the most. However, that broom you were using was completely wrong for this job. It's too wide for sweeping curb tops, and too soft to push the trimmings into a pile (use a wide stiff push broom to make piles) effectively. You need a broom with stiff bristles about 6 - 8 inches wide, and no longer than 6 - 8 inches long. The ones I've used usually have thick white bristles. Hope this helps and makes your work a little easier!

I do use them at times but the dexterity issues annoy me. Thank you for watching!

[@mikewilson6940]

US Resident here, first time I've seen a walk behind edger in that configuration, looks a ton easier to use than having to push a three wheeled monstrosity around corners and uneven ground.

[@timthelawnmowerman]

Yes definite easier than that. Still a little bulky and awkward to transport though ✌️

[@chasermalloy7406]

Definitely. This single wheel Atom is the only way to go when running along a kerb where the grass and kerb are at different level. Also very light to use. They're available in the US. I bought mine second hand and it's been great. For heavy work like this the 2 stroke like mine has more power. The reason you don't see others like this is that Atom have a patent. Must be about expired now or close to it.

[@timthelawnmowerman]

[@artfullofheart1]

- Gas lawn edgers more suitable for larger jobs to deal with tougher grass and matted roots. - Electric units feature less power, but are lighter and more compact which contributes to their portability and maneuverability even in the tightest spaces. Lawn edgers come in three different designs including pole, string, and walk-behind options. Pole and string types most common handheld lawn edgers and highly demanded being compact and portable. - Generally, designated for residential jobs on smaller spaces. are capable of handling uneven surfaces and rough grounds. Usually equipped with 3 wheels, 1 at the front and 2 of them on the rear side. - Grant ultimate control during edging process and exceptional maneuverability even in the tightest spots. - Pole edgers come as 2-in-1 tools with ability of converting from lawn edger to trencher, to dig clean trenches around flower beds, trees and curbs. - Strings wear faster when used for edging sidewalks and walkways. - Have to be replaced more frequently. - String edger best option for yards with irregular terrain with multiple shrubs, small trees and tight spaces. - Comparison with other edgers, it's a bit difficult to control due to lack of any supporting structure (wheels, deck, etc). - String edgers do not prevent grass cuttings from flying around. - Highly recommended to use protective gears like goggles and gloves when operating a string edger/trimmer. Walk-behind lawn edgers are most powerful machines and can also operate as lawn mowers. - Supported by wheels (usually 4 wheels), commonly equipped with gas engines to trim lawns on vast territories. - 4th wheel of unit designated for greater stability of edger when used around the curbs or walkways. - Walk-behind edgers are widely used for commercial and some professional-grade purposes. - They are heavier and more bulky than the handheld counterparts - Can't handle grass in some narrow corners, or under any short-growing plants in small residential gardens. - Walk-behind models are quite pricey. Blade type. Different lawn edgers feature different types of blades depending on particular needs. - Some models offered with kit of blades of different sizes and shapes. - Blade design determines specifics of each lawn edging application, so need to know right options suitable for your purposes. Flat and star-shaped blades the most common options on the market. most regular items suitable for several lawn maintenance tasks like basic edging and trenching. are capable of aggressive cutting of tough grass, stern weeds and roots. - Why frequently used for professional-grade applications. - Do their best when used on uneven surfaces. cutting attachment of a lawn edger. - Frequently used on gas-powered models...allows tackling the most challenging gardening projects. - Can safely cut grass that ends on hard surfaces like curbs. - Only with this blade type the crisp edging finish may be attained in one pass. Cutting depth. - Can vary this and set a particular cutting blade depth depending on application and the area of your garden. - Very important as in some cases the excessive penetration of a blade into the ground may lead to root cutting. Consequently, the grass in this area of your lawn will be damaged or killed. - To avoid this, adjust the cutting depth. - Majority of modern lawn edgers feature from 1-inch up to 2 ½-inch cutting depths. This range covers most cutting needs. - Varied depending on a type of lawn edger in terms of power source. makes from 3.5 to 4.5 HP with the adequate torque to not get dull or bog down during the work. nevertheless corded models come with 10 Amp - 12 Amp motors to tackle majority of garden needs on average residential yard. Similarly to corded models, battery-powered lawn edgers with 18V-24V li-ion batteries have enough capacity to cover large areas with no mishaps. Weight issue to think over when buying a lawn edger, especially if you have a large outdoor territory. - Heavier models are more powerful and durable, but more bulky with minimum maneuverability and more effort in handling. With large landscaping projects, better to purchase a powerful walk-behind model. Small gardening jobs can be easily performed with the help of lightweight and compact handheld lawn edgers.

I find it makes line release easier and stops the line sometimes welding together inside the spool when it gets snagged around a pole or such.
