[@EwenRoberts-o8o]

The Yakta did a excellent job I must say. What a difference the place looks like in a few hours. Great work.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes it did, and even though there’s a long ways to go we definitely made a huge impact in one short day.

[@billobermeyer660]

You two certainly put the Yakta through the test!! You have the property in pretty decent shape in the amount of time you had. Very nice job!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Obie, we sure did and the property clean up has begun. Now with the new tractor we’ll get it whipped in to shape if it ever dries up enough!

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I must say, as long as that grass was and Rachel kept going over it I am amazed at how well it looked. That mower did a great job. I just cut grass almost that high yesterday and after going over it several times it still looked like a pile of grass. Good job.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Jim, I agree it did a great job cleaning that mess up.

[@jimyoungblood1687]

WOW! The sound quality is so much better! Thanks.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you for the lovely video guys and I’m well impressed with the Yakta awesome job and your right the same as cutting a hayfield you guys picked a good one there thank you

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks David! We’ve definitely been impressed so far.

[@yaktaoutdoor]

Thanks David, glad we could impress.

[@thomastarwater2989]

I’m glad Hard Working Man and Rachel were able to whomp and whip that yard into shape. The Yakta mower does an excellent job with no need to go back over the same area and mow again. That chainsaw worked fine cutting those tree limbs to size. You guys take care.

[@yaktaoutdoor]

Worked hard to get that deck the power it needed to mow like that! Glad it's appreciated!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Thomas and yes it did!

Thanks James.

[@harlincolkmire933]

Not just the grass is out of control but you really need to clean that place up.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes it does! I let it get out of control being so busy and it’s been low on the priority list. But we’ll get it whipped into shape for sure.

[@danpatch4751]

Nice job, you never know what you're going to hit. Blades aren't cheap. Just today I was mowing uncharted territory. New blades needed next time.😊

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Luckily I knew what was in the yard, it was the edges I was concerned about but we had a good clean run!

[@markmalone7091]

may i suggest a "walkaround" the areas before you cut to remove debris that can cause damages or injuries- wood, rocks, bottles, cans, holes, roots, stumps, etc---- wildlife may be hiding in there too- move them to safety----it will prevent major f-ups and stack that firewood properly---- :))

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@markmalone7091 I definitely walked the area first. I didn’t plan on the logs being there long but then the rain came and left the yard too soft!

[@toddbagley1775]

You guys are a good team.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Todd!

[@bigbluegpr]

That Yakta does a great job! And that pilot 🐰 knows what she's doing for sure! Looking forward to hopefully seeing the rest of the transformation.

[@yaktaoutdoor]

Thanks for the support! Countless hours went into it. Exciting to see it out in the wild performing.

[@bigbluegpr]

@yaktaoutdoor I'd love to see it performing in my yard too!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes she and the Yakta did great. We’ll get it whipped into shape here shortly. A lot was accomplished but a lot left to do.

[@brianwilliams2607]

Yakta did a great job. I did not see it bog down at all. I like the weed whip as well. It is coming along.

[@yaktaoutdoor]

Had to make many many changes before production to make sure it was performing at this level! Think it paid off, hey?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Brian, we definitely put it through the test and I’d say it passed with flying colors!

That Yakta cuts great. But brother you need to sharpen that saw chain. Dull chain is a good way to burn up a ported saw.

That looks more like a log/lay down yard to me. I hope You have a good weed eater with a brush blade. Good video!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yeah I put the logs around the edge to process and then the rains came and the yard has been too soft to get to the logs since. We are getting close though!

[@yaktaoutdoor]

The YXR 710 put in some work 💪

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes it did! Definitely earned its keep today!

[@scottmurray2961]

I know it does not make a lot of sense. But you may actually lower your blade, so instead of knocking the grass over it basically cuts it off at the root, so try lowering your blade instead of on the highest setting, lower it down to 1 or 2 inches off of the dirt

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, it does seem to generate more lift a little lower.

[@paranormalfreak2901]

Dam them things are bouncy lol

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes they are.

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Yeah, it looks like you might have skipped one “time to mow” interval. Looks like the mower handles it fine.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

i think its a common thing for the tubs on dr to crack. mine started to crack in its second season. I just use a hose on it to suck up leaves since I got baggers on mowers.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

This is the second place mine has cracked. It cracked in the back first and now it has cracked where the shocks mount to the front hold down pin so I can’t even lower the tub anymore to make it work. Hopefully I can get a replacement or I’ll see what I can do to fix this.

I like the weed wacker it just a little pricey for me and one other thing how long does the battery lasts and are the battery's included frank from humboldt co. Cal.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

The weed whip is definitely nice. It does come with a battery. I’ll see if I can run it out on a time test to see how long it lasts. My son took it to weed whip the little league fields the other day instead of the gas husqvarna he used to use. He came home and said, man that thing is awesome! It just plows through the weeds!

[@dch923ster]

[@joeahopelto8032]

We were in the Phoenix area in '91 when temperatures reached 120, 122 and 121 on 3 consecutive days. Dry heat is very hot. The ERs were overwhelmed with heat related cases on those days. I have seen 2% humidity in the Valley of the Sun. That would dry firewood in a hurry!😊

[@jimyoungblood1687]

I was mowing a patch that looked a lot like that a few years ago. I sucked up an 8 inch round of Mullberry into the bad boy deck and broke a weld. That wasn't fun to fix!!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I walked it first and did my best to make sure it was clear. All the rain we’ve gotten in the past year plus has left us with a rutted up yard with log piles all along the sides I couldn’t get at for processing but we’re getting close finally!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice thumbnail 🔥

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks.

[@melmel2644]

Because of your channel I’ve narrowed down my Z turn to the bad boy rogue because of its suspension system and the fact that it has a rear discharge, which is a big plus or the yakta 610 or 710. I think my choice might come down to money out the door, but which one would you recommend?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Honestly we don’t have a ton of time on either yet. The ride of the Bad Boy is a bit nicer with the suspension. But I feel the Yakta drives a little smoother with fewer control input adjustments. But we haven’t messed with the Bad Boy controls customization options yet either. The warranty on the Yakta is better. Both are built solid! I really can’t say one is better than the other at this point.

[@yaktaoutdoor]

Glad we can impress. Had put a lot of engineering time into it, so nice to finally see it go through some REAL tests

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We’re definitely going to test it!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Dick, the Yakta drives smooth too. Not sure on the rated run time. They list it as 45 cuts?? I’ll see if I can run the battery out for a real world test.

[@oldguyfirewood]

@@yaktaoutdoor In addition to my firewood and KZbin business I also operate a landscape maintenance business. I currently run Hustler and Walker mowers. So far Heath’s test of your mower has impressed me. If you’re looking for someone in the southeast, (North Carolina), to demo your equipment in a commercial application I’d be interested.

[@ClellWise]

Good stuff Heath/Rachel. My first thoughts were how often do you visit the property during the non hunting season? and NOT CRITIZING here but with the various piles of things what is the snake situation like in Michigan this time of year?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We are there quite a bit both in and out of season but just didn’t get to mowing this year since we were mower shopping for the first part of the spring/summer. No snakes today, we don’t see many there. I definitely need to get the mess cleaned up though. It’s definitely gotten out of hand.
