In today’s video I cover how to change the height of cut, adjust the reel to bedknife, and backlap a Toro Greensmaster 1000. I just recently scalped my lawn in preparation for a lawn leveling project and now it’s time to do some maintenance on my mower to make sure it continues to run smoothly. When I scalped I had to lower my HOC, so the first thing I’m going to do is raise the HOC back to around .55”. After changing the height of cut, I’m going to backlap using 80 grit and 120 grit backlapping compound. After backlapping I’ll adjust the reel to bedknife and test the sharpened reel on a piece of paper.

I just bought a Greensmaster 1000. So thankful for this video!

Nice pile of sand! Great teaching video. I just spread a pile of manure on my yard for the first time with my wife and 5 kids to add more organic material on top of my basically pure clay soil base. Sand is next after the manure stimulates some fresh health green growth.

Appreciate the video. Just helped me refresh on backlapping my toro.

I now have the same hoc gauge setup you have and it’s a great tool. Thanks for your videos!

@LawnInsider Год назад

Awesome! It’s a great tool. Makes changing the HOC a little less of a hassle.

Another great video! Your son's growing fast man! Can't wait to see how fast your yard recovery is with no rain and water restrictions. My yard is just barely filling in since my sand lvl project last month.

@LawnInsider 2 года назад

It will definitely be interesting. I’m gonna hammer it with water on our one day this week 😂 he’s growing like a weed! He’s a wild man.

@@LawnInsider Yeah i got my system set up to just run as much as i can lol.

As you have the reel running in reverse and applying compound at the same time, go slower!! As you are applying the compound at that speed it’s just flinging the compound off. What I do is apply the compound then spin in reverse. Then STOP and apply more compound, then go in reverse again. Basically what I’m trying to say is only apply compound when the reel isn’t moving so the compound does fly away

Spray some roundup on that grass growing in the expansion joint between the driveway and slab. 🤣🤣

@LawnInsider 2 года назад

Haha you’re right. I use it as a reminder to show how tough bermuda is 😂

Saving this video for an upcoming GM purchase. In your opinion is a GM1000 a sufficient width for a 6500 sqft yard? I’m torn on 1600 vs 1000.. and the 1600’s are much harder to come by.

Where do you get your reel ground at? I am in SA and called Silverhorn but they said they wont grind. Thanks

@Taylor-xw8op Год назад

Great info. If you don’t mind im asking is how long is the gauge? 18 inches?

@LawnInsider Год назад

Yes it is.

@svtwin73 2 года назад

What attachment do you have located right behind the front roller?

@LawnInsider 2 года назад

It’s called a scraper. It came with my mower and I doubt mine does very much at this point.

@jameshill4386 2 месяца назад

Great video. Where can I get a gauge like that to measure HOC?

@KA-dm9lm 17 дней назад

I just bought that same one. Accu gage. Expensive but buy once, have forever.

@Alejandro_C62 9 месяцев назад

How many blades on that reel? I’m probably going to buy one with an 8 blade.

@jeremyespinoza279 4 месяца назад

You have the link to the 1/2 socket adapter to backlap?

@LawnInsider 4 месяца назад

I don't, but I picked mine up at Lowe's I believe.

@MrFritz128 Год назад

They do make a back lapping reel machine. And using 80 grit then 120 a waste of time. I'm a head mechanic at a golf course and have over 30 reels I work on.

@LawnInsider Год назад

Thank you for the info! Appreciate you commenting.

Remove Spark lead would be a better disable method ... Fuel Cock off your motor would still fire up ....

@nmsauditor1a950 Год назад

You changed your HOC after back lapping, correct? Should you not have back lapped first then set HOC?

@LawnInsider Год назад

Changing your reel to bed knife shouldn’t have an effect on your HOC adjustment. So in this case I don’t think the order matters much.

@nmsauditor1a950 Год назад

When you move your bed knife closer to your reel, you are moving it up and away from the turf, effectively changing your HOC. By how much, very little I suppose. I believe each click on the adjuster is 0.007". Three clicks to adjust would be 0.021". I like your content, keep up the good work!

@hectorrios1918 Год назад

I notice with my reel mower that if the reel to bedknife contact isn't somewhat tight it won't cut paper but when i tighten it does. The reel doesn't spin freely like I've seen in some videos. Is this normal or do I have to backlap?

@LawnInsider Год назад

It’s normal. In fact, I’ve noticed when I get mine serviced, they always have it tighter with the bed knife than what I am accustomed to. I still usually will loosen it some before mowing. I’ll just adjust it based on the cut quality I’m getting.
