Bad day mowing 

Quikchute quikchute quikchute. Man that’s all I can say! They have easily saved me thousands in potential repairs on cars and houses as well as provide safety when mowing around people and employees. Not saying windows are totally preventable but they help. Keep up the awesome work my company loves your videos and they keep my guys hungry to learn!!

Need mulching kits or Shute blockers. Can’t be throwing grass into flowerbeds.

Thanks for posting this. It’s nice to see bumps in the road. Bless you and your hard work. ✌🏼🇺🇸

R.I.P to all the landscape beds... death by grass clippings.

Walker mowers never need chute blockers and they never fling rocks or grass. You should consider adding one to your fleet. In my opinion they simply can't be beat for smaller and tighter residential lots.

The complex looks on point. I'm surprised you don't bag the areas around the houses, I'd think it would simplify cleanup. Great videos!

When i first started watching your video. I was really surprised to see you guys throwing grass clippings into the flower beds. Then I seen all the gravel beds and thought these guys need CHUTE BLOCKERS. Then your window was broken !!! Come on Stanley !! You have been in the business long enough and should definitely know better !! At least your operator knew enough to cut the blades off when he seen a person walking !! A big shout out to him 👊

Love when we go with the mowing crew. Pls more. Great video Stan

U r doing a great job keep it going god bless stay safe Terry from UK.

Hope you guys stay safe and sorry your still going through that im praying for you and yours hope all this will have a resolve some day soon

Rivet some rubber flaps on your shutes and you'll greatly reduce the risk of spitting rocks directly out. They'll hit the flap and naturally want to go at a downward angle about 3ft from shute. Kind of like a mudflap but more pliable. Hope this helps, keep up the good work👍

A tip. we put a rubber skirt around the lawnmovers to slow down rocks. Helps alot,,

Basketball shorts and tennis shoes. Holes in your realtree shirt Stan. Lol

Excellent work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care Edited wow that was certainly a bad day

Very good video!

you've got some really nice mowers there, thanks for an interesting video

Nice setup!

Rough luck on that. Way to stay positive, though. Keep on keeping on!

Hey Stan sorry to hear about the window. I knocked a mailbox down at a new community with my dump trailer gate, that cost me $500 I really love the mowing videos please upload more! Thanks!

People who design green spaces around buildings need to spend a month cutting lawns to see how stupid some of their idea a designs can be..they look cool but suck to maintain..

Keep it up man stuff happens what they don't realize is how bad the chutes clog the mowers, dull the blades and so on its very rare this happens and its worth the time to blow the rocks off instead of destroying equipment

I love zero turn mowers. I’ve used a cub cadet mower

We feel your pain on broken windows in the past. That is why we have all mowers keep the deflectors DOWN....!!!!! Most of your video shows the mowers with deflectors up. If you need narrower access for the front yards then use a 36” or 48” Stand On (Gravely Scag Wright Exmark etc.) I wish Tweels were available for Gravely ProStance tire size.

You need some shoot flaps. Exmark makes the best one you operate it with your foot open and close with the roll of your foot. I New he was going to break a window at the beginning of the video when you could see him blowing all the grass right in the rock gardens and against the house. No need for all that grass in the rock, will probably save you a good hour blowing after they’re done mowing if you put them on. We won’t run a mower without one. Once you have it you won’t believe that you ever mowed without one saves you a Ton of time blowing

Chain curtains, set up for mulch. dedicate the same machine to do those rock bed areas.

Great video

I was raised in Montana so what I was raised up hearing what stuff is called now I’m getting to lean the new and real meaning is of what stuff really is

I can easily explain the still effect of the tires: It's like if you had a comb and in between the gaps of the comb's teeth is the frame that records a picture of video. What happens with the tires is that as each "comb tooth" blocks in between the frames, the next gap opens when the tire is in position same enough to it's last viewed position that our eyes judge it to have not moved.

He blows all the grass into the beds that’s a no no for me

I have a fun little story. I work for a school district doing custodial/maintenance work, sometimes I get to go out and mow. Well at our district admin offices we had just replaced all of the windows. I was there mowing and didn't realize I hit a rock, that rock split and took out 2 of the 4 windows in the superintendent's office, while he was working at his desk right in front of them. Thankfully he and my boss were very understanding about it.

Chute blocker is worth the money. Save time on the flower beds and no more broken windows

Weed whipping ? That’s a new phrase to me . Great channel

Hi Stan grate video it pretty easy to sit on the couch and watch your video and say you should have done this different should’ve done that different I mow 22 lawns if you mow it’s going to happen it’s how you deal with it that matters

Sitting down isn't old school. It's just one's preference.

Another option is to get an optional mulching kit only spray the grass when you have to and mulch around garden bets and rocky areas to remove that problem

I'm in New Jersey I'm pretty much all of us use baskets all customers want it even on a bigger commercial jobs. Blowing the grass in the beds is a no no. And since you pointed out such a problem with the turkeys in the stones I would think you'd want to use a basket to prevent windows from breaking. I also realize you had a lot more time we're cutting a complex like that using a basket

I'd go with mulching block offs with that many rocks on site. Seems like that is landscaped just for litigation.

Hey Stan , love yer vids and thanks for all the advice and tips. I've just bought a new JD ZTrak 970R with the 72 inch deck. I've put a 45 Checkmate from Big League Lawns and would love to add another set of Tweels and make mine a dually . Can you point me in the right direction for the adaptor to join the two Tweels together ? Thanks for all the vids you give us . . . haven't watched TV for ages now ! Cheers man . . .

I agree with most of these comments concerning the Shute blocker. I got a shute blocker for my Scag because I was throwing things long, hard and fast out of the mower. Think about the side shut.

To top it off when you said "you guys aren't going to believe this our luck can't get any worse" my phone froze right after you said worse so I was stuck in suspense for almost 2 minutes lol

My dad’s Gravely model L with the 30” rotary once threw a rock about 80’ through the back side window of his station wagon. Fortunately he had glass coverage on the car.

Great video. Bad luck on that window.

Caked almost ever bed with grass, id be pissed, negligence.

Why no ocdc on the mowers? That’s the first thing added to ours. We leave them up for most properties or wide open HOA areas, but as soon as we do big areas near people and breakable things we shut them and “mulch”

Love the videos Stan

How we do are lawns is bag or mulch the front too keep grass out of beds or get the shoot blockers for them and it will speed up your time and give a better cut quality

Would the ballard advanced chute cover possibly be a good investment? Lol great mowing video! 🤘

Was thinking chute blockers so you dont have to blow out the flower beds. Would also keep the rock throwing down

Engaging and disengaging that PTO clutch after line 😱🤭

Do they have flaps to close on the mowers for spots like that?

Of course the boss wearing a ripped t shirt to a customer's house sets a great example.

I love how the midwest language is it make more sense than the rest of the country

In other news, your crew runs with chute deflectors up.

No way would you cut my grass; blowing the cut grass into the stones is a NO NO. Thats how weeds grow in the stones. Also, put those safety shuts back on, they keep $hit from flying out. :(

If you look at the bolt pattern on the duels then u can see them move

That stand on mower is huge

You need baffles in the discharge chutes or put your bagger on near the risk areas.. Seen a weed wacker throw a stone a plate glass before it's not hard to do.

I like how you blow the grass clippings into the flower beds

It's not just about framerate matching. That said, the wheel has multiple spokes, so the minimum speed for this effect would be (frame rate / number of spokes). Part of the issue is your exposure time. Short exposure won't show the motion blur (sometimes motion blur might be desirable, not saying it is here). So that plays into it as well.

Pretty neighborhood

Try using mulching mower decks on your mowers. They do not have a discharge chute so do not throw rocks. Their drawbacks are that the blades must be very sharp and the grass must be dry.

Nice video. Sorry about the window

Hello stanley quick question why dont you guys use mulchers on your mowers i think it would help with grass not going were it doesnt belong and helps rocks and things from flying out of the deck just wondering and figured id ask

I love the tweals

Chute blockers save money on labor for blowing out beds as well. Added benefit that pays for itself.

Your comment. . After mowing that Condo area... "Can't find a Minneapolis Glass company to repair the.... Ta da.... Small Broken Window... For just $700". . Hell.... Pay my Airfare and I'll repair it for that. Brian Just Retired in the Spacecoast.

A mulch flap will work the most efficiently. Just close when around beds

Shards of glass outside the window? Looks like it was broken from the inside. 😳

$700 to fix that little window? That would of been $250 MAX done here in Texas.

Could you add rubber or brushes around the edges/skirt to reduce the chance a rock doing that to a window?

Them boys need some chute blockers for their mowers!

This is why i run the John Deere MOD Deck to mulch when needed no mess no clean up thats my motto

700 bucks no wonder their rioting. You should’ve been able to have a piece cut fill in the one louver that broke. That is if it’s a louvered window which it looked like from the great distance it was filmed from. You deserve credit for taking the responsibility others might not have. Maybe that’s what happen with the previous contractor.

I know ive seen SCAG mowers with flap adjustment. Maybe something to look into.

We dont call em Burn, Loot, and Murder for nothin'.

Yeah, a number of years ago I found a pop up brass sprinkler head in the middle of the bed in the second story bedroom. I had hit it earlier in the day while mowing. It put a neat hole in the window and left a mark where it had bounced off the wall and ended up smack dab in the middle of the bed. Go figure.

27 acres and 46 homes and none of them actually own the land? I'm confused how this works? I don't like mowing my 2 acres, but i like knowing that I own it. I also like having a fence all the way around it and nobody knocks on my door. Those are some sweet rides you got.

Why dont you use mulching decks on your mows? Stops grass clippings going in garden beds and most rocks projected from the blades. Also enjoy watching your posts!

I’ve never tried it but seems like one of the chute blockers made of chain would really help keep this to a minimum. May help keep the grass out of all the beds too. 🤷‍♂️

What Gravely mower is that. I work at a Gravely dealer and am always curious as to what people think about them

I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the grass clippings in the beds. Obviously Stanley knows that it's wrong to leave them in. In some areas guys don't mind shooting the clippings into the beds and then blowing them out with the blower after. Not all mowers have shoot deflectors and up in the north and canada we don't bag our grass. It's simple as blowing out the beds after we're done mowing.

Weed whipping I love how you say that now I use that after a friend of mine used that term I’ve never though it though but they to whip the weeds not eat them you need a goat or sheep for that lol

If you look at the lug nuts yes they are move but if you're looking at the tweels only it's a mind trick.

Really like these mowing videos, you should try to mix them in more, How do you find the cub cadet holds up vs the gravely and other mowers?

I am looking for recommendations on a push behind lawn mower relatively small budget under $700

We had a massive slider break from a trimmer that was a lot of fun

Stanley Stanley Stanley invest in some Chute blockers it will save labor cost on cleanup if your crew can efficiently use them in tight areas (front yards)

Stan, as always, great videos. Thanks for helping me and my business out! Btw, your last name - Genadek. You Polish or Czech? :-) Also do you deal with the grass clippings you are shooting on the gravel or mulch beds? Aren’t the customers complaining about it? Just curious what kind of “argument” are you using if they complain, because I assume that you will not get all the clippings with the leaf blower out of the beds without blowing the mulch/gravel out...

Frankly look good on the riding mower it look like it was made for him.

How do you get to bid on accounts like that?

Try Tri-clone trimmer head on your next heavy weed eating day's, it's a BEAST! Tangle-free, save time and easy to use

Man I dream about the day I can run two crews lol 🙏🙏🙏 one day maybe

You might want to put those chute deflectors down. It might stop stones from flying in the air.

That happened to me once I was doing a really small lawn of 25 dollars. Takes me 5 mns to do it, but a weedwacker threw a rock to two windows and broke them. Cost me $700 to fix them. Haven't make that money back yet🤣😅😪

this is why you keep your rubber guard down. it helps prevent the shooting of rocks by deflecting them against the rubber and slowing them down Edit: and before you guys say the deflectors were down. here is proof they were not prnt.sc/uxqdpx at mark 0:48

I don't know why you don't have chute blockers on all your equipment thts a must saves alot grass going in beds & helps with the windows n cars getting damaged

Frankie not striping... 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Purchase the rock block net it will save you from broken windows

Yes but what do you do with all the cut grass

I like your channel by the way I like watching it too no dissing the channel
