I Can't Believe I Broke It [ EXPENSIVE MISTAKE ] 

I took a course in Oxy-acet welding in Dallas some decades ago and that torch is still running. Get a big vise and find a table to rest it on (bolt down) and bend that blade in 5 minutes. The other impeller; put that in the vise and torch some heat on it and take a 14" pipe wrench and bend that sucker in 10 minutes and there you have it. Take that bent impeller to a welding shop and have them bend it true and you will have a spare or you can sell it on ebay for half price. I was running a 22" push mower when I was doing lawns as a kid and I hit a 14" log on end and it stopped the mower immediately. I turned the mower over and unbolted the blade to remove the log. Restarted the mower and I had bent the shaft on that little Briggs. I could see the shaft as bent and moved the blade to 90 degrees from the line of the shaft. Started that wobbling mower and ran it into the log and as luck it straightened the shaft. I would not do that again but I was only 10 years ago and did not know the danger involved. Scag blades are forged metal and they do not bend easily. The welding shop should be able to fix your impeller for $50 worth of heat and muscle. Good luck you two!

Stay up Shawn & TQ, things happen that is out of your control. Very happy no one was hurt, & you just move on to another day. Considering the state of the world today, it could be a lot worse. Glad you put a positive spin on the experience Shawn, that’s why I continue to rock with you both. Keep mowing, growing, & making money. Try to have a good evening, & count the small blessings.💯❤️✊🏾🙏🏾

Thanks for sharing your life and adventures. All this rain in Ohio and hot humid weather should keep you busy. Good luck.

Like the longer video. 👍 “ It ain’t about how hard you get hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. It’s how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how wining is done” ~Rocky Balboa

All of my mowers are set up for mulching. Unless it's really tall, it looks just as good and is better for the lawn. I only have one small yard that I bag, and I charge significantly more to make up for the hassle. Also, I have three curve shaft Homelite weed eaters the newest of which is at least 20 years old and never had a problem running .095 line in them. I don't care for straight shaft weed eaters and only use them when weed eating a fence row. I do like to use .105 line in the straight shaft cause it lasts longer. I'm glad that your mower wasn't damaged worse. I hit a trailer jack once and had to replace one whole spindle as well as all three blades. That ended up costing almost twice what I made on the job, and that's with me buying just the parts and fixing it myself.

If you had a torch, you could straighten all that stuff!

Good thing you guys are blessed enough to make a repair like that! I hope everything goes good for you guys after that, much love!

Hopefully y’all are staying safe and health. Love the channel. Hopefully the zero turn is fine. God bless and keep mowing

Take the blade and impeller to a real mechanic not a parts changer. He can heat and straighten both for about $50-75 bucks and you'll have spares.

Wow I thought I had it bad. Last week both my blades destroyed and my spindles because of a huge rock no lie. Honestly I let the customer know I wasn’t happy. I keep that rock in my truck as a reminder to look before mowing cause it’s not cheap. Glad nobody got hurt and stay safe guys.

your dealer was a saver today. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

I mow and trim a 6 acre cemetery and have used Cyclone .105 (red) for the last 3 seasons. Very tough stuff, holds up well to headstones!!

should be able to straighten out that impeller.

Very lucky they had that part in stock. Glad yall got it fixed.

Just another proof of how you two are growing... Throwing down those roots that only come when the fires and trials of life come our way---NICE JOB YOU TWO!!!

That’s why I use the Oregon G6 blades. They are 1/2” wider and thicker then standard blade! They also have a carbide coating on the blade and don’t have to be re-sharpened as much. I also use their string trimmer line. It comes in a pre package roll and you just drop it in. Best part, it last a long time even when trimming along curbs.

Going from the diamond line to husquvarna wire wrap trimmer line. I too do a plenty of fence

Hate that happened to yall. Glad you got it fixed so quick.

You two will likely keep finding out how expensive it is to keep running baggers full time. You will wear out housing bearings. impellers (the fan you broke), pulleys, belts, blower tubes, bagger housings (usually an accidental turn clips something solid, and housing breaks parts). Not to mention extra fuel used, and time to dump, etc. Hope you are quoting substantially higher for all the bagger properties you run. Blessings

thats why my feet are always on the lift bars for immediate response when I see or hear or feel anything. Fight or flight response activates legs first. If you are thinking you can turn blades off fast enough or maneuver to avoid unexpected obstacles it wont work. I weld secondary lift bars on all my mowers so I can lift with both legs simultaneously and often lift to avoid scalping over swells or when turning. I lift probably 30 times on an average yard other people never touch the thing but my yards look way better because my deck height is constantly adjusted for the terrain. The lift bar for my left leg I weld on angled back a little so both can be used simultaneously but one is ideal for high cuts and the other for low.

Glad it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. Hope tomorrow is better!

Be thankful you can write it off on your taxes! Always make a positive!!

It sucks having brake downs. I hit a water pipe that tore up my whole mower. I needed all new blades and a whole new deck. On the bright side hope everyone is safe and well! Love the videos as usual!

The big positive take away from this is, you have such great dealer support. Despite the set back, they got you up and running so quickly. Yeah, this sucks. But it’d suck worse if you were left dead in the water for a day or two... or more. You kept your emotions in check a whole lot better than I would have. God Bless. Stay safe.

Spencer lawn care i had the same problem with my mower it bent my blades aslo i hope you say safe and healthy with your family Spencer lawn care it will get better soon from brendon Partridge 😀

All in a days work. This won't be the last time that something unfortunate happens with your equipment. This is why you need back up equipment so you don't lose alot of time waiting. Your dealership is one of the few that will drop everything and repair your equipment. All things considered, it could have been much worse. Keep counting your blessings!

This is why you need a good dealer To back you up 💪🏽

You guys are so lucky to have a shop that repairs equipment the same day, and stocks lots of parts. My local shop is 5 WEEKS out for repairs

Glad you got it fixed so fast! Those breaks can be scary at times! God bless stay safe y'all!

That was a well bent blade. Holy crap Batman! My man Steve got you all fixed up. He is so great. Now I know why my 3000 didn’t get looked at today. Shawn hitting crap in the yard!

i recognize that. nasa was looking for that- fell off the space shuttle when it burned up on reentry. you probably ran over it many times, the last time it rolled up and you caught it bigly.

When I was younger my Grandfather would give me rides on his mower when he came to mow our yard. He was the one to get me into outdoor work. He ended up giving me and my mom his mower because we have a larger yard than he does so it was easier for us to mow our yard then take it over to mow his and we had room for a larger shed to put the mower in as well. That mower ended up breaking and the repair cost was way to high so we ended up trading it for a slightly smaller mower. I have recently been thinking on starting a company and mowing yards is really what I would like to do. My family has been struggling and I used to have a job but had to quit due to medical reasons. I would really like to get a larger mower to be able to complete my yard and my grandparents yard to then start doing neighbors yards to start up my business. Considering mostly everyone in my neighborhood mowes their lawns on the same day it would really help to be able to have a larger mower to be able to get multiple yards done in a single day. The mower we have right now just isnt large enough to do that. If we were to win we would sell our current mower to buy a bagger for that one so that we are able to make peoples yard look nice by not leaving the mowed up grass behind. I do hope we can win it would truly mean so much to our family to finally be able to have another source of income.

Glad you were able to fix the toro . Me and my dad use the same trimmer line .

So frustrating when you loose money because of the stupidity of some random person. But you kept a level head and handled the problem, Good on ya!

Find yourself a trampoline fabric for in the bed for hauling grass and mulch. I think mine is a 12’ round. All of the D rings make it hand and it keeps the bed clean. Usually cheap or free usually after a big storm.

That rock looks like a meteorite. Don’t throw it away! Have someone look at it to confirm. I don’t know about millions but it could buy you a new mower. How to tell: The metal found in meteorites will be shiny and look like chrome. The appearance of the metal will not be a shiny gray sheen, that is often seen on some Earth rocks. Iron metal grains in rocks can also look like a space rock and are good indicators.

I could sure put that Toro Titan to good use. I'd be mowing all my disabled neighbors yards too. I hate it any time you damage equipment, but at least no one got hurt.

First thought was it was a meteorite. Way cooler sounding than slag although Slag could be a great name for a heavy metal band.

Glad you were a or to get it taken care of quickly. Like you said, having a good dealer is so important! Y’all stay safe and healthy!

Expensive fix there, bout 600 for the part id assume. Glad you got a good dealer, sorry bout that repair tho wow!

Check out the new piranha weed eater line.

Very expensive! Hope all is well and glad you're all safe and it didn't do any other damage! Hoping for that titan still!

Awesome mechanics to get the mower fixed and back running. Can you do a video of the camera on the mower as you cut a big yard. Awesome video and happy to see the mower back running again.

Fantastic to Have such great dealer support. That must have made quite the bang when it hit! Great video guys 👍

Holy crap that is some chunk of something cause it turned that blade into a 45 degree angle. And hey look at the bright side you have an amazing dealer so close by and you didn’t loose an entire day of work s**t happens but life must go on.

Your videos never fail to entertain me haha! You guys are just so real and it's like I'm right there with you the whole time!

Time for a deck rebuild. Did you find a meteorite?

Great video always enjoy watching your video have a better week Shawn & tq

Great dealer support!

I'm glad you were able to get your mower fixed so quick.

I wish i could get a mower fixed that fast in my area. Lol. The dealerships in my area are two weeks out.

Our kubotas dont break lol glad you good and got it fixed

Man, that sucks about the breakdown, but glad they got ya up and running fast. Nice work as usual! Keep it up and stay safe out there!

Shawn you stayed really calm when you broke your mower I would say so many cuss words if I did that love you guys though keep up the videos

Sorry to hear about the damages. Hope it gets better. That is a really nice tip on the trimmer string. The strips look amazing. Love the videos. Keep up the great work 👍💪.

Another great video . That’s awesome how the dealer takes care of you

Have a great week

I wish I had a Toro dealer that was that good.

big picture one got hurt. you live to mow another day. god bless

Break downs are never fun. The two best mowers on the farm are broken down now. One needs all new bearings and new front tires, and the other needs a engine because of a bad head. But I traded my deer rifle to a mower to stay going this season. Where there's a will there's a way.

Hope you guys are staying safe and here in Salem it going to rain for the rest of the week I don’t know about you guys but I would just like some sun.

R nuts yeah it was expensive but no one got hurt, that was big chunk of metal. At least you up n running in no time which help, no fun waiting on parts. Enjoy rest of the week👍

My dad bought a new Lawn Boy push mower in 1977. About three months old my brother hit the exposed threads of a I inch diameter bolt holding the decorative light pole in place. WHAMMMM. Mower came to a halt. Would not restart. Bent crankshaft. New engine. $$$$$

Love the videos guys. Stay positive I look forward to your videos for the positivity. Looks like we both had a bad day. My motor in my truck blew. Semper fidelis and god bless.

There's no doubt the Wright is a biggidy biggidy BAD mower!! But, man oh man all that Red & Black does look nice on the trailer. Man hitting stuff in a field not only sucks but, scares da bejesus out of Ya too. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!

Brake down are so stressful my only 60in mower had been down for a week and got it back for one pass today just for it to do the same thing to happen again I was so happy on my way to pick it up this morning just to get to my first property just to turn around and take it back just pray it doesn't take to long to get fixed right this game if you could mention me in your prayers it would be much appreciated

That’s one heck of a job done by that roxky😮 I was shocked to see it wasn’t worse than just that. Atleast it didn’t fly out and hit anyone that’s could’ve been a lot worse. Glad you’re safe and the mowers fixed to get back to work and hopefully Stay back 🤞 stay safe and healthy in these times

Man that sucks man when you hit something.i ran over a car jack this morning with my Wright I couldn't believe I didn't break something my blades didn't even bent one of the the blades were only a little unbalanced but man I got lucky cuz it bent that jack badly I'm still amazed take care brother.

That sinks. Sorry to hear guys.

Gotta love those days

Wow that stinks, glad you were able to get it going so quickly. Kinda surprised they had that part. Looks like a great dealership. looks like you guys live near Amish country. I love that area . Very Beautiful!

Only channel I watch on a daily basis, love watching others enjoy the work I do all day long, love seeing you gain subscribers!

Yep and it’s always great to know about your equipment and able to fix almost any issues that may happen or goes wrong, I do all of my own repairs to my weed eaters, as well as the zero turn mowers, my neighbor tossed out an echo weed eater, I took 2 and made a good one, I also get them not running and repair them, I also repair my brothers lawn equipment,

Today was unfortunate for me too! first flat of the year today, dealer charged 165 for the tire and 25 for mounting!

That Toro mower looks really sweet. I wish I would have a dealer near me. I definitely buy a mower like that

Dude, you ran over a meteorite!

Nice video and nice to see how your dealer took you on same day and so quickly. Lucky it didn't destroy a spindle. I typically mow around 4 inches for most of my customers. One question, why are you bagging clippings vs side discharging/mulching? Is the grass wet, which is why you're bagging to prevent grass clumps on the customer's turf area?

Keep your awesome videos going! You guys inspire me!!!!

If I saw him using that impact to start that blade bolt, I would have packed my parts and left.

Love the videos hope the mower stays in good working condition

Love These Videos....Putting a Constant Smile On My Face

TQ tell Shawn to be more careful We always check our properties before we begin to Mow a few minutes can save u a few hundred From the West Coast Much Love!

Luckily the dealer had the part you needed in stock.

How come you guys are bagging everything, and where do you dump. Thanks for all the videos

Thanks for the info on the size and kind of line you use, I was wondering what kind to use. 👍❤️

Your dealer is awesome 👌

Love the videos keep up the great work I plan on starting a lawn care next year

Well, if you have the angle grinder handy, you can make a couple of knives from the blade and sell them to make up some of the cost of the damage. :-)

You never know what random person will throw a random item, not even thinking that it may hurt something or someone. It may have been an expensive repair but, at least neither of you was hurt in the process, thank the Good Lord. Stay safe and healthy! God bless.

That's so unfortunate that the huge rock was there, glad nobody was hurt thoe. Stay safe👍

Do you think you might have been sabotaged ? You show yourself’s mowing on these properties... Any thoughts it may be a jealous competitor in your area ???

i think you need to customize the bucket on the front of TQ's mower.... maybe slap a big SPENSERS LAWN CARE over that toro logo.... or maybe even do it up like Mr. Cone? :)

Try to check before you mow. Open field is subject to trash.

Sorry about the bad news on the mower I'm glad the mower didnt toss the slag and hit TQ or a window or car be safe God bless

That sucks that someone did that people just don’t think some times at least they had the part in stock what a great dealer

A small setback but was able to get back at and get some more mowing in, hopefully you can a lot more in this week with a mixture of different weather I have seen cold rain and maybe even snow just keep staying safe

Days like that can be a pain in the behind but no one got hurt from it that makes it a good day

I hope you guys had a great dinner and have a great night

Down here in the south the green round gator line .80 is very popular that is the only .80 line that i see lawn care companies using.

Another awesome video!!! You guys are the best!!!!
