I recently started cutting mine twice because the cut was so much nicer. I noticed that the lawn was coming back faster and getting thicker. I am glad to see this video confirm that finding.
I'm jealous of that incredible view of the mountains in the back. Wow 👌
Nice job Jimmy.

Gotta bag that boy up. Love a good double cut
I have to mow my yard twice all year pretty much.. except when its really dry and hot! I'm on 1.44 acres too! Takes quite a while!!
That lawn looks AMAZING!! Def Lawn Goals of mine
That second mow always leaves it looking so sharp! It’s an absolute must
Mow it twice?!?!?! LOL 🤣 I can't even get off my ass to mow it ONCE!
What type of grass is your lawn? Looks very sharp!
Wood you look at those stripes- made famous by Connor ward.
Never afraid to double cut. Try removing the chute and just use a bungie to hold that door open won't clog as much and it will shoot the grass further. Looking good
I just did this to my front lawn. Been mowing at 2” since May, only took it down an inch more and it looked like total crap. Still in the recovery phase yet. Started spoon feeding again, hope that peels things up. The double cut certainly works though!
I once heard somebody very influential say, "The more you mow.... the better it will grow....." right? 😎

I get about 12k on a tank with my TM, spot on to you seems like. Have you ever thought about putting trees in the back yard? Or is there a pool in your future?
You have the greenest thickest lawn ever.. is it ok to put the summer stress fertilizer down now? what company do you like for grass seed? wish we had a green waste can in South Jordan!! Thx for great videos 😁😎
Good ol fashioned mowjob.

Hey Jim just wanted to give a update on my timemaster. I was having alot of trouble with it in the spring. The problem was the blade engagement cable was loose when i got it. After tightening it up its a whole new mower and i absolutely love it now!

Completely off topic but I just have a question I haven’t been able to find the answer to anywhere. I live in Alberta Canada and my lawn along with everyone else’s goes totally brown and dormant in the winter. My question is, in the spring do those brown blades of grass begin to turn green again, or does the grass grow new blades? It seems like the answer is new blades, because every spring I have a lot of dead material that doesn’t go away. I’m asking because I’m already looking forward to next spring because my grass is already going dormant, lol, and I’m just wondering if in the spring if I should just scalp all of the dead stuff off so I don’t get matting and don’t have so much dead material in the lawn. Thanks!

Dormancy is completely normal. Those blades will turn green again when the weather warms back up.
Lawn looks fantastic. Even with breaking the one third rule the color really didn't change and looks great to me :)

@@JimmyLewisMows do you have a lawn maintenance guide that I can follow? My KBG lawn used to be very beautiful but it started deteriorating 4-5 years ago. I had a soil test and organic matter is still very good. I was thinking I maybe not putting right amount of fertilizer and dates on when they should be put down. I subscribed too. Thanks in advance!
BOOM!! I totally agree!! Double cutting is ALWAYS best!! Been doing it since I was 7 years old!! Geez that's almost 40 years!! Judas, I am OLD!! and Jeremy would say "....and Short!!" LOL

A narrower pass will keep the clogging down on those deep cuts. Lawn looks beautiful.

13 to 14k sq ft sounds about right. I would have never collected that much clippings. I would have let it dry and then mulched it to fine pieces. I'm not one to put that much effort into it.
What was the final height? 2"?

I found the key is when you think it’s full just keep adding gas slowly, the sponge just keeps soaking it up. I get 12,500 sq ft mowed easily and I’ll admit I leave it running as I get sidetracked with plants etc.

I have a Honda self propelled side discharge and it is very fuel efficient. I can cut my yard, which is an acre on 1 tank, if I didn't want to use my rider. Also, Hondas are known to last 20+ years with proper maintenance.. change oil, filter, coat inside deck.. etc.

My anxiety went through the roof when I realized he was mowing his clippings into the inside of the yard. Won't that weigh down the grass needing to be cut and create a less efficient cut?

I had the worst time with annual rye over with winter. Constant clogging with chute on or off with the flap bungeed up.
Suggestion: i have the same mower, i leave the side chute open and leave the bag on. This eliminates the excessive clippings and you don’t have to double cut.

You gave your self more work why not catch it first time? If your are going to blow it out the side never blow it to the side your going to cut next. By time you get on your third cut you would have to much build up of grass. Also why should you cut twice?? You did not say.
