I STOPPED Reel Mowing My Lawn! 

I too, stopped reel mowing and WOW I forgot how nice of a short cut rotary mower can give! Btw congrats on 25k! 🎉🎉🎉

Just got a brand new Toro Recycler Smart Stow with the Personal Pace. I absolutely love it, seems to leave a few straglers when I cut so I am overlapping my cuts now by a few inches. Seems to fix the issue, just about too head out and mow the lawn now, have a great sunday 😊

welcome back to the rotary mowing side. congrats on 25k!

I like that you switched because regular mowing relates to me and most subscribers.

First Aussie 😁 congratulations on 25 K subscribers, got to enjoy the mow , it’s great Lawn Therapy. 😎

Congrats on 25k!!

25k congrats 🍾🎉

I did the same exact thing about 2 months ago with the same exact mower. I got the Big League Striping kit and it works great but you can no longer use the stowaway option. I don’t know why, but when I pull back the handle on my Super Recycler sometimes it won’t go in reverse. I push it forward a little bit and try again, sometimes it works sometimes it don’t. A little upsetting for a new mower.

Why battery tho you have the timemaster why not just use that?

I love your mower! It is awesome

Congrats on 25k!

Jimmy, please do a video about Toro 60 V max etime master bagging the grass clippings. Thanks.

The only issue I'm running into with battery mowers is the battery... 2 years of use and it no longer cuts half the yard. Cheers on identifying a way to streamline your cutting.

Idk your wife, but I'm guessing she doesn't even care 😆

Are you running into any scalping now that you switched back to the rotary mower? How long has the battery lasted.

Congrats on 25k

Still looks solid!!! Good job!

The Toro SR 60v gives one of the best cuts whether gas or battery.

good job on 25k!

Looks great!! My wife wouldn’t care either😂 all she worries about is making share I pay my share of the irrigation bill in the summer!

Does an electric mower shred leaves as well as a Honda gas mower would? Like in the fall when you have a thick layer down and you want to shred them pretty fine and uniformly

rocking the Savannah Bananas shirt! long way from Savannah

The thing I most miss about my rotary mower is the vacuum feature if they came out with a real mower that had a vacuum feature ! that would be awesome! 👍🏻

Pls upload a video about the hudson star mower....thanks

Oh I thought you were doing 3/4 cut when you decided to change. I must have missed something with the increase to 1 inch.

Also live in Utah. How much additional inputs in water and fertilizer has a 1" short cut lawn required over a more traditional HOC?

I tried reel mowing my yard at 2 inches and it doesn’t lift the grass enough to give a good cut. Loving the m18 mower since getting it a year ago.

How often are you having to sharpen the mower blade on the 60v Super Recycler? When I had it I was having to sharpen it every 3rd mow. I recently sold that mower and I'm trying out the Milwaukee m18 battery mower. I mostly use my 30in timemaster.

I would think your wife would be saying;" You mean to tell me you spent all that money on a greens mower and now you're not going to use it?" * I will never go back to using a rotary mower for my front again. As soon as I bought my reel mower, immediately my grass took off to the next level. It's way too hard to keep a rotary blade sharp. A rotary wacks the grass and the sharpness soon starts to dull just a bit leaving a light brownish tinge across your lawn from the tips being frayed. Grass looses water moisture when that happens and increases disease pressure with the frayed tips. * I love my reel mower and will always use it because of the difference. Oh, and one more thing, I agree the down side is no suction, but I mow up and then back, and then cross mow( a triple cut) and that gives me a very clean cut. It helps that I only have 1500 Sq. Ft. * Just wanted to share my ideas. I hope it continues to work out good for you. You must have a flat lawn. I never spread sand to level my lawn but I mow at an inch to 1 1/8" so it's really not an issue. I used to scalp in areas with the rotary though. But never with my reel. Take care jim

Did I understand correctly? You are now using a rotary mower and cutting at the same level and quality of cut as you do with a reel mower.

I would think reel mowing is for less than an inch cut. I think my Atlas lowest setting is 1 1/8". So I cut at that for my front, 2" for my backyard.

New subscriber..where RU & what's your grass. ?

Congratulation Jimmy. Well deserved

I keep my lawn at 5/8". No way anything other than a reel mower would work for me. Glad you are happy but I thought the GM1600 was doing a better job.

I’m still all gas. Cost has been my reluctance. Are the batteries and chargers expensive?

Obviously you cut once with a rotary and then finish with the reel for that clean cut! Everyone has time for that.

I've rotary cut my back lawn at 1.25" for the past 2 years and as long as you keep your blades sharp it works great. Great time saver over reel mowing. Congrats on the milestone.

How long does the battery last for?

Make sure to note the time it takes her to notice, that way you have a similar window on her next haircut.

Quitter! 😂

I'll stick with the reel.

But am I wrong that your are sporting a Savannah’s Bananas shirt?

lol@battery

First

Cutting at an inch? In certain arras that would destroy you grass. Interesting that i get calls from people with battery mowers that they just died and they cant mow because it died only after 2 or three years. On another note i tried a miluwakee battery powered back pack sprayer. It last 5 minutes on a full 24 hour charge. Took it back and now i have gas powered one. Just saying.

Reel mowing was and still is just a Lawn RU-vid phase..... Grass looks less green and requires triple the maintenance and mowing at least every other day.

I think these robot lawn mowers are for lazy people. I can see owning one if I traveled a lot or for elderly people. I bought my parents one that cost me $3400 and my dad made me take it back because it was for lazy people, At 78 years old he still cut his own lawn. He said if I die behind the mower let it be. He still refuses to let me or my brother cut his lawn. I still send someone over to my parents' home to clean their home. My dad cannot say anything to the women because I hired someone who doesn't speak english.😁

Traitor! lol
