Hi Rudi. Very informative video, thank you. How often should you verticut and groom kikuyu grass lawn in JHB during summer?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Ones a month

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Once a month

Hi Rudolf. I have a chieftan cylinder mower. Do know where I can get a verticutter unit replacement?

[@savros4491]

Basically just taking the cylinder blades and replacement it with the verticutter or groomer blades

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

No sorry I don’t know

[@kickingworld]

I cannot find a verticutter anywhere online or in stores in America. All I see are cartridges for Allett and Swardman but I don’t own those lawnmower brands. Any ideas for things I could search for to find a unit?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Good day. Yes the verticutter reel was custom build for me. What make is your mower

@@rudolfthegardener6105 I have a Rolux X20 which I think is the same as COX and would be interested in finding a verticutter reel in the US.

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

@@iamnachodaddy yes it is the same mower. My hybrid is actually a Rolux

Hi Rudi, can I ask where you got your groomer reel for your hybrid professional mower build?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Hi. I bought it from Protea Turf. They are situated at Germiston

@@rudolfthegardener6105 Thank you sir, I wasn't sure if you had purchased it from Trident - they seem to be one of the only reel builders from AU serving the States 🙏

[@motheotshule1242]

That lawn is looking amazing. Is it all kikuyu?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Thank you Motheo. Its a mix between kikuyu that prefer sun and LM Berea that prefer shade

[@JustinManning-x9l]

Hey mate, if u could only have one or the other what would it be?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Hi Justin. I think the verticutter reel. You can scarify and verticut. The verticutter will groom as well you just have to make more passas. For the groomer to be affective you need a fine grass and you need to cut under 10mm

[@JustinManning-x9l]

Perfect thanks, need to make a decision on my grandfathers sb40 rebuild appreciate it!

Goeie video Rudi.

[@gregorydiehl6706]

What can you use in place of a verticutter to cut runners?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Hi Gregory. Only a Verticutter can cut grass vertically

[@gregorydiehl6706]

@@rudolfthegardener6105 do you think a trimmer could do it?

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Nope
