Very Tall Overgrown Bahia Grass Mowing

[@ThatOneCivic99]

I love watching people do their best work. Keep it up brother. The best thing about him is he doesn’t just zoom around, and leave. I think other companies could learn a thing or two from this guy. He actually has pride in his work. 💪🏼🇺🇸

[@CopperCreekCuts]

[@ronaldshank7589]

I noticed that when you use your Riding Mower to clean off the sidewalks, you go forwards and backwards to blow them off. I use the exact same method for blowing off the parking lots when I mow. It's a very smart move! I also noticed that you had to go back and forth at least twice on that Bahia Grass. I had a lawn to mow this afternoon, and I only had a Push-mower to work with, being that the Riding Mower that I brought with me threw the Gearing belt for the second time in 6 days! Anyway-I had to go back and forth on each strip of Grass that I mowed with the Push mower, but that did the trick! I had plenty of times that the Push-mower stalled out, but I'd just start it up again, and kept going until the job was done. You put out some really good videos. Thanx for posting! Mow on, Brother, mow on!!!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thank you so much! Bahia is the worst! :D

Marathon Watching 7/31/21 Last relaxing lawn video for July 2021... thanks Copper Creek , you are my favorite lawn care channel ! Peace ✌️..

[@ernestlmorellsr]

... Good job man, you took a little longer to get there but, heeey,you still accomplished your goal... Peace.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thank you, Sir! I appreciate it!

[@fastpocket4467]

Slower the better good job man

[@benyoumans9072]

bahia grass is from Africa. It was imported in the 1960s to be used along the interstate highways to strop erosion. It is tough and drought resistant. Dont confuse it with a lawn grass. It is tough to cut and tough to control.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

You hit the nail on the head! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

[@leonardomigot4165]

[@TexasRose50]

Ya got my approval! 👍🏻

[@ericvortecmax]

I have a r-754 diablo and it use to miss those grass shoots too. I put a 1/4 inch washer on the blades and it fixed it

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Nice! I have noticed it tends to miss them pretty consistently if they are too tall, OR if they are just too thick around the center line of the deck.

[@freeagent6203]

how did you do that?

[@Billymacmims]

I live in east Texas and this is a lot of what we have. The best way I’ve found to cut it is between 2-2.5 inches. It seems like the lower you cut it the easier it cuts and of course some good blades.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Blades always help! Frustrating how quick Bahia grass dulls them! :(

[@Billymacmims]

Copper Creek Cuts yes it’s like cutting miniature trees but with that said I found that the lower you cut it the easier and better it cuts.

[@Billymacmims]

Copper Creek Cuts how do you like your bobcat stand on mower?

[@aleidahernandez6607]

Did you even cut the edges of this yard? I saw sidewalks with pieces and not cut. Other than that, good job.

[@nuclear2252]

Great vids keep it up

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! :D

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

another great video man! you did a great job cleaning that yard up! the bigdog also stripes pretty good as far as I can see 10:30 :) Are they basically the same a Hustler raptors?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! It would probably stripe better if I watched my lines, but honestly I have never put a big priority on stripes (not very common locally). They are nearly identical(think Chevy/GMC), the only difference is a much nicer seat, LED lights, and different paint job on the Big Dog Alpha, oh yeah and the price! Big Dog is more expensive than Hustler.EDIT: It also came standard with an hour meter, which the Raptor didn't. EDIT AGAIN: Forgot it also came with an engine guard standard.

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Copper Creek Cuts Well the nicer seat is definitely important considering how much time you probably spend on it. plus the red/black paint scheme look pretty sweet:)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I agree! One of the main reasons I bought it was because the dealer was giving it to me for only $200 more than the Raptor 36", and I was going to have to spend $100 on the arm rest kit for the Raptor, so it was really only $100 more bucks. And the red/black goes with my van/trailer better! :)

[@Sara-L]

Noticed a real decent 'tractor' that can hold all sorts of attachments - including mower, vacuum, directional blower, power rake, sweeper and brush cutter, just to name a few. Ventrac makes it - even comes with dual wheel attachments to allow for greater grip and a reduced impact on wet/sensitive surfaces and help tackle slopes.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Would love to get a Ventrac! Waaaaay out of my league at this point, however :(

[@HardHeadMilitary]

How can I get rid of this stuff. I moved north of Houston to pasture area. This stuff grows so fast after. I will cut the grass and in 2 days it will look overgrown again. How can I get out of here

I really need to edit my comment. I typed too fast on my way to work. I will look at this link. Thank you.

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Oh and what camera are you using? The footage is nice and Crisp. I use a $30 action camera that does a ok job but I definitely like what your using!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I am using two old cell phones we had before we upgraded to our current phones. Moto X's I think, set to whatever the full quality recording it has is (supposedly 1080HD, but not sure).

[@wyattslawnservice7212]

Copper Creek Cuts wow then they do a great job! you must have them on tripods then huh?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Yeah, it was $17 from Amazon. Makes a huge difference in video quality to have a tripod, IMO.

[@FectoReviews]

Wyatt's lawn service I use a Sony AX33 camera and it works well. I’m learning the ins and outs of it still though. Overall I’m happy with the vid quality. I bought it used for $550! I got a couple lawn vids on my page I put up until I can get a dedicated channel made for them if you want to check out the quality. I use an old tripod I found deep in the garage. 👍 Also, that lawn looks 10x better after the cut. Awesome work man!

[@ilike2mow]

Neat to see another somewhat "local" lawn service... I'm right down the road in Gainesville :)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Oh yeah, practically neighbors! I know who I'm calling if my mower breaks down unexpectedly! ;)

How can I get one this

[@michaelmixon2479]

I have a couple of patches of Bahia in my yard and it takes at least two passes to get it cut!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

michael mixon I'm glad it's not just me!!!

[@michaelmixon2479]

Definitely not just you! It is more of a weed gras. Very drought resistant and durable.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

michael mixon Yeah, very common here in most of the city lots and estates. In some of the newer developments (15 years or newer) Saint Augustine is the norm. Makes you appreciate easy to cut grass!

[@chadnewman5146]

Your welcome. Wasn't trying to be mean about it. I work mowing yards on the side for a guy I know.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I didn't think you were! Otherwise I would've done the multi point response talking about how most yards I film take longer than normal since the cutting patterns are dictated by what looks best on camera versus what is most efficient, the fact that it was very overgrown Bahia, first time mowing the property, etc. I appreciate all comments! :)

[@tommymann69]

is that a gravely you using?????

[@CopperCreekCuts]

No sir, Big Dog Alpha 36".

[@ericmarks6322]

time to sharpen those blades. 30 minutes is way to long to cut that little bit of grass. it seemed as though the mower was just laying the grass down, telling me the blades need sharpening.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Wouldn't hurt, that is for sure!

[@ThatOneCivic99]

Best way to sharpen blades?

[@chadnewman5146]

Where you out of copper creek?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Sunny Florida!

[@jeffcaine6221]

That Grass just seems horrible to have to mow. I remember I lived in Texas and had to deal with St. Augustine and that stuff was like leather... I'm lucky now I live in Canada the grass is wimpy up here haha!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I have found if you make sure to keep the blades sharp, it makes a huge difference (and therefore allows me to keep my sanity!). From Texas to Canuckistan (I use the term affectionately)? Talk about a world apart!

[@fixt100]

just remember the non mowing season can be over 6 months in Canada (plowing snow of course fills it in but its not always snowing either...)

[@largol33t1]

Jeff, that surprises me. I thought a few decades of exposure would make the grass more resistant to cold weather and harder to mow. I always thought of Canadian grass as more difficult to maintain if living so far up north.

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Jeff Caine Texas is better u know

[@ThatOneGuy8199]

if i had some critique i'd say work on your lines and try to get faster. and do three point turns on your z-track instead of spins

[@CopperCreekCuts]

All good points! This yard is especially finicky if you don't three point turn because the soil is so sandy.

[@bigcountry6844]

Better get that Bahia cut quick, because by the time you are finished with the back yar it will be time to re-cut the front yard. My daddy used to say you could hear Bahia grow.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I believe it! That stuff is a mess!

[@HardHeadMilitary]

John Clarke buddy your daddy was right. How do I get rid of this stuff

[@fastguned]

Your Dad is correct ha ha We had 3 acres of that crap growing up. I cut the grass after work on a Friday. went to a night club came home about 1am afterr a small shower and my headlights showed that Bahia had popped up 6 inches in 4 hours AT NIGHT And talk about grass dust. that isnt dirt flying in the video thats grass dust Those devil horns would break to pieces and cause sinus infections I still have 30 years later. LOL.................

[@MadTrax572]

Bahia sucks balls lol. Just spent about 4 hours on a 61" scag sabre tiger cutting about 5 acres of bahia. Damn grass was about 5ft tall lol

Didn't get paid lol. Was my own yard lol.

As long as it took him to mow that yard. I could have mowed and went over it,edged and weeded and to another property. You did good man but it took you too long.

I bought a husqvarnia Z242 it does just perfect for my one acre. How much was that 42 Big dog. Mine was 2800 after tax.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

The dealer I purchased mine from was selling the Hustler Raptor 36" and 42" for the same price of $2599 during a promo. They had a one off Big Dog Alpha, the 36" for $2799 before tax (also due to a promo, normally $2999). Not sure if the Big Dog line up treats 36" and 42" as the same price like raptors.

Why the hell you didn't edge and weed eat first

Just to give you a reason to comment on another video! ;)

[@davidmckinney5707]

I'm watching TV some of these videos and I don't understand why they don't weed eat and edge first either. It just looks like double working to me. You spend all that time more in the yard and it looks nice and neat then you come back and weed in the edge and mess it all up and you got blazer grass to the longer than the blades a grass that was cut by the lawn mower so you going to have to double working in order to make the yard look pristine
