Today I give my TifTuf it's first cut after I gave it a heavy topdress with sand to make it level. I also try the protea brush cartridge and show you how long it takes to change the cartridges.

A lot of comments about how painful it seems to remove the cartridges. Yes, it did take time, but this was my first time doing it. Also, this machine wasn’t specifically designed to use other cartridges as it’s main feature. Also think about it, how often am I going to be changing cartridges? Once a month at the most? Anyway, the protea is far better for cutting at greens height and doesn’t float on top. The Swardman is great for cartridges though 👌🏽

I’m a groundskeeper at a country club in the summer when I’m home from college, it’s currently winter and it’s a drag. With you being in Australia where it’s summer, it’s almost like I can enjoy the treats of summer thru your videos and it’s awesome. Thanks for all the good stuff man

The cartridge swap out with a Swardman looks far, far superior. What a massive pain in a neck with that new mower!

As a golfer I am so happy you are doing this!

@campbellslee6773 4 года назад

It seems like a pain in the ass to use that brush attachment. Oh well, it might be quicker after a few times. The TifTuf is looking good.

@LawnTips 4 года назад

Yeah I think it will get quicker. For me it’s not a worry because it’s nice to get outside instead of been in the office 😂

the half round moon thing is a woodruff key. And you should get some motorcycle chain lube for the chains, its sticky and will stay on longer.

Also, go to your local bike shop and get some master-link pliers. Bike chains have the same link on them and the pliers makes it SUPER easy to get the link out and back in. Might just work for your chain...

I’ll have to do one soon. Couple of recent rain storms have really brightened it up!

@christoespach1744 4 года назад

So did the neighbors to the left see how awesome the lawn looks and said take over the entire patch including their section of the yard (with tiftuf)?

@AdamLeePhoto 4 года назад

Does the yellow scalp go away over time if you cut at that same height, or do you need to cut lower than the height you want to live at so the leaf grows back up to where you want it?

@supernom 4 года назад

I bet that's the first and last time you use that brush attachment bro! 48 minutes! Would take less than 5 minutes to just use a broom!

Haha I think next time I’ll be quicker 😂 I’ll be using the groomer in there for sure.

Are you planning on doing a update on the kentucky blue lawn at your brothers place at any stage?

@darrtoo5767 4 года назад

After the brush, I’d give the lawn a light water to settle the soil back down. Also perfect strategy when mowing after a topdress - light water, then mow. No soil pickup, no blunt bottom blade or cylinder.

@HammaTime422 4 года назад

hi mate, good vids. just wanted to ask you - they way you have used sand, does this not cause sand to get on your clothes/feet/shoes etc. if you are or the kids are playing/walking on the grass?

Gypsum only works on sodic soils.

@glennmaxfield6618 4 года назад

It looks like you are just sweeping up all the top dressing you put down last week. Will it need another top dressing of sand next week.

I wouldn’t really call 48 minutes to change from mower to brush handy... seems like the swardman is much faster in that area. But what do I know, I use a Mclane 🤣

Fair root around to swap out those attachments! It’s turned me off the Protea coz I’m a wimp 🤣 I’m sure it’ll get easier the more you do it. Certainly not as easy as the Swardman though. TifTuf is going to look amazing

@LawnTips 4 года назад

Haha, it takes a bit. I was slow though because it was my first try. I could get it to 20mins now that I know all the ins and outs.

@peak6744 4 года назад

Ever thought that an artificial grass putting green might be a better idea? Keeping that TifTuf at 4-6mm will be a reel chore (pun).

@LawnTips 4 года назад

Nah, I seriously love it man. That's why I've chose to do it. It's not for the sake of putting really, it's more for the fun of cutting. Sounds weird I know, but I love it.

@mutchumbo 4 года назад

How's your bros lawn??

@joshbaker1639 4 года назад

Can see the advantage of the Swardman now, seems much easier to switch cartridges. The Protea is probably a better mower overall, but the Swardman seems much more convenient.

@looluio1 4 года назад

Need one or each, and a groomer ;) Powerball ?? :)

@LawnTips 4 года назад

@BigAlby 4 года назад

Not quite as easy as the Swardman. Almost seems like if you could add weight to the Swardman it may be a better option. I don’t own one, but I wonder if there is a way to fill the rear roller with something to add weight?

@LawnTips 4 года назад

Yeah nah, the engine wouldn’t be able to handle it if I added more weight. It already was bogging down a bit when I added those bricks. In all honesty, how often to you think I’d use the brush?
