Located right in the middle of the Transition Zone in Knoxville, TN. While originally focused on reel low bermuda, I have made a transition to experiment with the concept known as Bluemuda. While mainly about my antics in the lawn, I also have an affinity for DIY projects and home repairs. Those my be shared along the way.
unfortunately, one of the major cons I've encountered using a greens mower in a smaller space is the wear and tear / traffic on the grass where I turn around however, I am learning a better way of turning around and it's showing a difference
I'm no pro but I've done several bare dirt renovations. IMO, a quality, weed-free blanket trumps peat moss all day long... especially if you have any slope at all. Peat washes out so easily.
I live in Iowa and I'm thinking about changing my yard from Fiscue to Bermuda so I can play bocce ball on it. Any suggestions on which type I should use common or hybrid? Or any other additional help offered would be welcomed
I believe that in Texas or more severe heat areas, you would not cut too short. I experienced this in Austin and the sun/heat killed the minerals in the soil. We also lived on a rock (limestone) in the Hill Country. The only dirt the Bermuda grass had was crushed rocks and the soil the sod came with. Had to go back and aerate the ground. We need to specify the height of how much to cut the grass in certain areas where we have limited soil/clay/rock. Use low release, high nitrogen once every 1.5 months. Everything else you mentioned in this video is similar on how we cut in Texas.
This was my first day with the Yuka. Cut quality is good. I am still waiting on the grass catcher attachment. It did mow between my house and the neighbors without losing signal. My Luba 1 loses signal most of the time. I am going to have a detailed review soon
@@ReelLowDad thanks. Just scalped yard to prep for a buy. Think I’m going to order the Yuka, little worried about the single front wheel hitting a dip and scalp but could happen on Luba also
@cgutowski471 I had that happen today in the side yard. It backed up went around and got back on course. There are 4 chrome bars that act as scalp prevention and the cutting head floats
@bikemurke6006 I sure did right after someone said but my juices in there cooler. I was told no one will drink them. They know how I am. Some one drink them . I ordered that day. 😁
Before buying this companies product be sure and read there return and warranty for there product. also when watching videos, check to see if they get a commission if you use there link to buy one. they also use snail mail shipping letting the electronics get bounced around and mishandled by every 18 year old in the U.S. mine has been to 15 different locations in transit, and it is past where i live on the map. still waiting after 6 days. they seem to package there units well, but hard foam does not stop shock from transferring into the container/mower and everything else in the box. Printed circuit boards and there components do not like being jarred around. if my box is damaged i may just try the Yarbo mower with all its attachments.

You HAVE to barrel adjust after 3 miles and HAVE to pull slack on the brake cable after another 3. On that downhill you're going to do it every time you come to a stop. Other than that, the wheel set, pedals and the saddle... this thing can take a beating. Ive taken more damage riding this thing than its taken and I crashed it hard part-intentionally and the only thing that happened was a bent brake disc on the front. After bending it back and putting another 25 miles hard on it I still havent bent a cog or crank. Ive found the perfect setting for the derailleurs even though it feels like the front-d should be on a 3x. Every time I show up to my destination on this shredding commuter, It gets a little better in my book. But this wheelset... gotta go. Im scared for my life.
My plan is to swap in some flat bars and put on a spare set of Code RSC brakes and some new wheels and 200mm rotors and upgrade to a 1x drive train then take it to Windrock.
I’m not sure if it’s my printer being able to print true to size of your model, but on my Luba 2, the three holes don’t line up. It’s almost like the spacer needs to be 3% larger. Thinking that I was just having a hard time getting everything aligned, I decided to test fit the spacer, without the cutting disk, and sure enough, the holes don’t line up. (Not sure if Mammotion changed the version, but mine also definitely uses M4 bolts)
I have the biggest version, Luba 2 10000. I printed the spacers at 100% scale and the holes didn’t align. I printed again at 103% scale and the holes were aligned perfectly, and it still fits perfectly inside the cutting disks!!! Maybe the Luba 2 has a slightly larger mount?
Bermuda grass seed needs light for germination and is difficult to establish on bare soil. I would just focus on improving the KBG that is already established.
Gotta love this inflation we've had these last 4 years. I just checked out that sprayer and it is now $156!!(July 2024) $120 on Amazon, 156 from UnderHill
My luba lost reception, again, in a very bad place right next to the garage. My wife didn't see it, and clipped it with her truck. Broke the front and rear suspension, and I was getting fault code for the front motor. Initially tech support seemed like they were going to help. I gave them all the information. They sent another email asking for the device name, which I sent. I never heard from again. I sent numerous emails. I told them, I am capable of doing the repairs myself, and that I will pay for the parts. Nothing. My only option is to buy the only set of used motors is can find for $250, and epithet JB weld tge suspension or pay about $600 for a used set. No guarantee that will fix my $2,700 paperweight. If you're the gambling type, buy a Luba. Do not expect any support if you have a problem.
Thanks for outlining the breakdown to get the bearings out on the blade shaft. My McLane is decades old and one of the bearings went out -- I ordered the replacement on Amazon (thanks to your link) for about $15 and got them installed today in about an hour. I was lucky in the sense that the old bearings slid right out without any hammering!! Thank you sir!! Much appreciated!!
I will probably regret this tip due to possible future availability as always being out of stock but here goes. Haha Get some plastic sheeting and cut to suit length as a cover for your cargo, or use a tarp if you can find a small enough one.. Have it long enough to drape over your load and down the sides of the wagon some. Then go to Harbor Freight and pick up a couple bungee straps they sell there. They are 4 feet long and have ends with carabiners on them. 2 of them combined are long enough to wrap around the outside of the Gorilla wagon to keep the plastic sheeting in place. Now you have a system to help keep rain off your cargo. Of course this may not work as well if you have something long protruding out the sides/back of the wagon, but it's good if you're making a grocery run on foot and get caught in a shower. They also sell a shorter 2 foot caribiner bungee if your cart is another brand that is longer and you need some extra length. Harbor Freight also sell shorter bungees with plastic hooks instead that won't scratch up the frame if you want to run bungees across the top of load and hook to the sides of the frame. I also hook a JBL Clip 4 or the new Clip 5 Bluetooth speaker to the front of the wagon on the frame for some music. These wagons are really handy. I don't see how places like NYC aren't absolutely crawling with them everywhere. The caribiner bungees are Haul-Master 48 inch. SKU number 58142 for the 4 foot bungees. They're around $3.50 a piece.
