Works great! kzread.infoUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.

Happy Australia Day tomorrow.

Looking good mate. So excited for the renos to come!

Great work mate! Love the new reel mower.

Scott Bonnar first went to South Africa for export, set up a warehouse and distribution network back in the 60's from memory, so now they export the same product back to us! That's the Aussie way.

Hahaha luv'd the little comment about how dirty your garage door was. We had the same issue here in country vic, it was raining mud on Wednesday night. So my Monday public holiday consists of oversowing, pressure washing the footpaths and washing all the windows!!!!

Oh man can’t wait to see it

Mark Paton I'd rather listen to this mower than the trash on JJJ

Your mates lawn across the road is looking nice and green

Get a load of arborists mulch for your garden beds, mulch that has all the leaves and bark in it and lots of nutrients. I use it here in Perth and it's virtually free and does wonders for the soil and drought proofing. Put it on literally a foot thick, pulled back from plant stems, and water it in well, it'll settle to 150-200 mm pretty quickly. You'll never have to pull a weed again as long as you top it up every 18 months or so. I get 18m3 for $50 so it's definitely affordable.

Looks like a good mower. I bought a massport 500 with a 26" width. It halved my cutting time compared to the 17" Scott Bonnar. Wider produces flatter cuts but the massport needs a bit more weight so may add some lead, but don't think the clutch can take much more weight. The old 17" Scott Bonnar has poor gearing for the roller to blade turning ratio IMO. For 2k, the massport is OK, it does have a bad rap on the net, but so far with 30 odd 400m2 lawn cuts, never let me down and the roller speed to blade speed ratio way better where the mower is not too fast.

"Nylon Sweeper" was my nickname in college.

Hey Ben, looks like a nice collection of mowers you have going there! Quick question about measuring your height of cut off a grooved front roller, It looked like you measured it in the groove rather than the high points.

We're so close to the turn around! I'm curious what the kids think of the grass right now. They were playing on a plush outdoor carpet but now it looks like a setting from Mad Max Fury Road.

You Aussies have too many reel mower options I'm jealous!

Ben do you have a preference between the grooved or flat roller?

Yes!!

mate where did you get the phone-connected water flow meter? is it wifi, bluetooth, something else? keen to get two of these, for both monitoring mains usage and rain tank usage in real time.

Dude, you have a nice lawn. Ive been following you for a while now. One thing that i cant fathom is the amount of time, money and energy you put into your lawn. And as soon as you turn your back, you get dead patches and diseases on your lawn. Have you considered changing the type of grass you plant? I dont think you have the correct type of grass for your climate and application. I planted Kukuya grass 1.5 years back. The only maintenance I have done since it has settled was water it if we haven't had rain for a few weeks and cut twice a month. My lawn is is great shape,Fluffy,inviting, no dead patches or diseases. I think you will be better of with just fitting some AstroTurf to your yard. I would love to send you pic of my lawn. Not trying to troll you, but damn man, you work hard on that lawn. I think there is better solutions.

2:19 chilled me spine right up

Man I’m so jealous dood! I would have bought a protea before I bought my gm1000 but can’t get proteas in Hawaii 👎🏽

👋 bro just wondering have you use this stuff before Eco-Organic Garden ?

Yo Whatup. Just got myself a TPE Professional G20H, just wondering if you have had experience with them at all? Have had a SB17 for the last few months and wanted something bigger. Seems to be a good machine. Appears very similar to this one. Cheers. 🤙

You hard on that dry couch ol boy lol

If a Toro greensmaster and swardman had a baby it would be that mower. It really nice

Nice from India.

Hi Ben My kikuyu grass from seed already grew but it looks 50% kikuyu and 50% paspalum is that normal if you grow grass from seed? Thanks, bro for your help👍👍👍.

New mower more fun! 😉

What model is this mower, I am thinking of a Protea but I want the one that takes the interchangable cartridges.

it looks very similar to my Masport Olympic

The International Sissy Grass Society thanks you. 🙃

When you going to do a update on Matt’s yard?

How much heavier is it than your Swardman?

Looks like a beast, a shame they don't ship to WA

nothing like good ol couch abusing to start my saturday haha

Put some sand on your garden beds to raise them up , raised garden beds are superior for drainage and plant growth . Dig the sand in and turn over the soil

Great video. I just about spit out my dinner on the ruff up the cooch. Your awesome

What happened to the swardman Benny?

First pull and that thing got some zip to it.

Are you not scared about damaging your blades on those concrete edges? Wouldn't it be safer to raise the lawn level up higher so you can mow all the way to the edge without danger?

Okay curious American here. What is a Rover? Is that a rotary mower?

@markawilson3177

4 жыл бұрын

Rover is an Aussie brand of mowers and power gardening tools that started about 60 years ago. The first mowers produced were rotary blades followed by cylinder (reel) mower. The company was sold in 2010 to the American MTD company and has Briggs & Stratton engines. I have a 15 year old Rover 45 cylinder mower with a 17" cutting blade. It still runs and cuts very well with years of regular service. It has a 3.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine. Regards, MW

Whipper snip the cooch 😂😅. I always find it cool to see what people call "weed eaters" (Alabama USA) around the world or even around the US. So I don't fully understand what "cooch" is referring too. Is it equal to "lawn" or does it mean "short grass"?

This might sound anal but careful parking your truck on the dry grass across the street. I saw a youtube video of a guy driving his beautiful Jeep on old back dirt roads in the Nevada desert. He merely parked on some grass for a few minutes, which quickly caught fire, and destroyed his Jeep.. engine heat..
