The 2 options that work best is either certainty or sedgehammer. These will be the best without hurting the Bermuda. An alternative option is to buy image but image takes for ever to work and is watered in vs. leaving it on the foiler. I know you can buy sedgehammer is smaller packets to save cost if you dont have a small lawn.

You are having the summer we had last year - over 60 days of 100+ heat and no rain. Our water supplier put stage 3 restrictions on watering and my yard suffered so much. The chinch bugs took over the St. Augustine and I lost big patches all over the lawn. The Zorro Zoysia front yard withered and grew even slower (if that is possible). This year is totally opposite - we are already over 42 inches of rain and just got another 2.3 inches with an unusual July "cold" front. Temps are still in the low 90's but that is so much better than 100+! We are supposed to get more rain next week and the lawn is lush. I am mowing every 3 days and I will probably have to switch to every 2 days. So hang in there, things will eventually change! At least you can still irrigate!

I can’t say if totally. I will say that when adjusting the cable you only need to adjust one side of the cable. The only reason it’s double sided is because it needs mounting points on both side.

No grease fittings is not good! I’ve had cars that had no grease fittings and the front end parts didn’t last 15,000 miles! The replacement parts fortunately had grease fittings and they have lasted over 150,000 miles! Now obviously if you don’t grease them they won’t last but if you simply grease them once or twice a week they will outlast non greaseable parts exponentially.

@DeVincey26 күн бұрын
Had a question for you, or anyone really. I recently had to replace my belt because the other one shredded even though I just bought it back in May. I replaced the belt and went to use it today but it felt off. Seeing your video reminded me that I forgot to put that green arm back in the right spot that is there to guide the belt. I’m not sure if this is what made my mower self propel by itself as I engaged the level for the assisted propel of the mower but my mower was moving on its own and the blade was spinning. To stop it I had to disengage the propel level but the blades keep spinning despite not holding the handle to engage the blades. The mower did feel more powerful at the wheel and jolted forward more and it definitely took more force to stop the mower. Wondering if maybe it was just that green bar that guides the belt or if the clutch needs to be adjusted? Any ideas?
@dwaynesworldlawn25 күн бұрын
The clutch arm and green back arm guide both have some adjustment. When replace with a new belt, even when set properly, the reel may still spin without the cable being pressed. This is normal as the new belt needs to be broken in. After a mow or 2 it should be good. If it still continues there after it may be set too tight causing the reel to spin when it’s not intended too. Hope this helps 👍🏻

Solid build, this thing is a "tank". Shipping weight of 200 lbs. I'm guessing the operating weight is around 150 lbs. You have to think 2 or 3 paces ahead when turning it or mowing around tight areas and curves. The company has great customer service. They sold me a like-new refurbished floor model at a nice discount. They also talked me through a few set-up features after the mower arrived!

I've owned a California Trimmer since 1968. I bought a McClain six years ago. Because of problems with bed knife, the mower not moving uphill, and bearings wearing out I pulled the old Cal Trimmer out of the barn, installed a new bed knife, New electric start engine, new chains and I now wonder why I quit using it. The bearings last forever if maintained, you maintain the bearings on the McClain by replacing them. you maintain the bearings on the Trimmer by applying grease. My Trimmer just turned 51 years old.

I would think it would screw back on. As long as the screw is not lost and you are able to put it back in it should be ok. Sorry if this doesn’t help
We miss your videos, Dwayne!!
Thank you. I appreciate the support. I will do my best to put out some new content. 👍🏻
Can the CT cut 100 💵 bills? If so I'll order it next week !
It definitely can!!! lol 😂
Do you need to water-in these products within a specific time period?
No none of these have to be watered in. I generally will let them stay on the leaf for at least a day before running irrigation or expect rain
Bonus...you showed me how to fix my throttle cable that hasn't ever worked! I'm not a small engine guy so I didn't really know the ins and outs. Thanks!
That’s awesome. So glad the video helped you out. 👍🏻
I bought a McLane last year, nothing but trouble….that machine is trash , three months after I bought it the rear axel broke. Nothing but trouble since I got it . And had too pay 3 times more than my last one…NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY ANOTHER MCLANE !!
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. At least now there are a few more options to go with. Good luck and appreciate the support 👍🏻
Lawn goals!!
Yes indeed 👍🏻
Considering all the brown patches you need to apply some water management techniques and or add some nutrients to your ultra short cut lawns soil.
Appreciate the suggestion. 👍🏻
OMG 20 min for 30 seconds of info.
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
Can you tell us the dimensions of your 2x4 chock blocks? Pretty cool and functional….Aloha!

For those who prefer battery-powered mowers, the company informed me they developed a battery-powered version, which comes out this summer!
The battery powered option may be a great option for some. Either gas or electric if it’s a cal trimmer I’m sure it will be a great mower 👍🏻
Ordered & received mine last month after watching Dwayne's World videos. Bye-bye rotary mower! The CT cuts like a dream! Leaves nice stripes on my low cut centipede grass. Solid build, this thing is a "tank". Shipping weight of 200 lbs. I'm guessing the operating weight is around 150 lbs. You have to think 2 or 3 paces ahead when turning it or mowing around tight areas and curves. The company has great customer service. They sold me a like-new refurbished floor model at a nice discount. They also talked me through a few set-up features after the mower arrived!
Love it!!! The California trimmer does not disappoint. At least in Dwayne’s World that is. lol 😂 . I appreciate the support!!!
Bakersfield?
Yes
@@dwaynesworldlawn small world I live in Bakersfield also nice lawn dude congrats!!!
I've owned a California Trimmer since 1968. I bought a McClain six years ago. Because of problems with bed knife, the mower not moving uphill, and bearings wearing out I pulled the old Cal Trimmer out of the barn, installed a new bed knife, New electric start engine, new chains and I now wonder why I quit using it. The bearings last forever if maintained, you maintain the bearings on the McClain by replacing them. you maintain the bearings on the Trimmer by applying grease. My Trimmer just turned 51 years old.
California trimmers are an awesome mower with years behind them to prove it. Quality at a very competitive price. Thank you for your support
Thank you Sir, you are da Mannn :)
Not a problem and glad it helped you out!!! 👍🏻
Just completed my back lap on my CT. Great video as always Dwayne. Hope to see you soon on KZread once again.
I’m glad it helped. Hopefully i can put some new content out soon. I appreciate the support 👍🏻
Nice lawn
Thank you !!! Appreciate the support 👍🏻
This is the best backlap video I've seen so far I learned the direction of the chain link and also putting your blade against the bed knife before adjustments Thank you so much
I appreciate that and glad the video helped you out!!! Love it. Appreciate the support 👍🏻
So, it's basically a "Round" Hedge Trimmer! I've got the Stihl hedge trimmer attachment for my string trimmer, and I've used it several times in dense ground cover an it worked great! I will have to look into these! Great video!
Thank you for your support. They can be pricey but worth the money in my opinion. 👍🏻
So did you put the set screw going up or did you put the set screw going on the side and did it change the angle?
I didn’t use the set screw location that was on the original trimmer head. If i did it would cause the unit to be turned 90 degrees. I just went ahead and inserted the shaft into the new rotary scissors and just tighten the side set screw on the rotary scissor. Have had no issues and it works fine with set up i went with.
Sweet thank
@@dwaynesworldlawn sorry to bug you one more time. How would I be able to do it with the EGO weedeater that has the self feeding line
@@joefigueroa6059 you want to make sure it’s shafted and not a drive by wire system. I believe the auto head is a drive wire system and would not work with rotary scissor. I could be wrong so you want to do some more research.
I WOULD NEVER GET A RYOBI SPRAYER, ONE OF THEIR WORSE PRODUCTS EVER.
It lasted me quite a while and served its purpose but respect the opinion. 👍🏻
Great video and very detailed 💪🏽💪🏽👍👍
Appreciate it! 👍🏻
