looking forward to the sydney show boys 5 minutes from home the whip gripper i bought is amazing i got to use it today

Welcome back LADS Long time between drinks. Despite the rain and cold here in Melbourne hearing your voices made the day brighter and warmer. Keep up the good work

it leaves a line of clippings on the ground

Let's Go Brenton

How do you find the scag 32 inch is it pretty powerful

can't hear anything...

haha wow your towball is working hard there buster

do you have any videos on wolverine ripper blades in action

all American blade sharpener is way better so what's is the angle 35 or 30

Can you guy test out some flexi blades 4mm

I just bought one of these, 60”, I am so excited, The E brake lever is now in the front which I think is much better than protruding in the back

I just got a massive spool of .155 and i use it in the speed feed450 this stuff is mad as fuck

Whsts the weight of the darwin grip

That foot pedal for lifting the deck is what every stand on mower should have. That’s one of the biggest reasons I prefer a sit down to a stand on…but that foot pedal fixes that problem.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen fenders on castor wheels before.

Which has the best cut velocity or advantage deck thinking of getting a 32 currently have 2 SFC 30s

the sydney expo is only 5 minutes away from home looking forward to it boys

Great vid mate, appreciate the alternative trick as that was exactly my issue, just couldn’t get it moving. Cheers for the video

i think catching has a neater finish mulching is quicker it all comes down to what you are happy with i currently mulch with zero turn but it makes a mess of the paths for us hopefully when i get around measuring the deck ill be hopefully getting a catch pro to keep the clients happy

I've been catching up on some of your podcasts this week. Enjoying the chats, you guys crack me up 😂👍

1:18:40 Yeah I just spent a week out with the flu and stomach bug from KFC combined along with stopping w&&d smoking, all good now but yeah man those fever dreams and erratic temperatures and hallucinations of battle of mordor was a bad time

I just bought a new 36" today. I wish I had seen your review about the grass discharge issue. I do bi-weekly cuts. Mine has a 25 HP Briggs & Stratton. I drove it off the truck to the garage and I'm already annoyed with left handle safety switch. That swtich has to go!

Wow Duncan really lives in some of the LMCA community heads rent free.

9:30 If it wasn't for sacrificial hard workers out there society would have already bottomed out years ago under the weight of mass unregulated usury

they need a redesign, sit too low and catch the ground if its not flat like this lawn, id love to use one they look mint but functionality just isnt there for most of my jobs

first zero turn was a cub cadet still have it running now then husqvana running kubota 277 going great

13:00 GXV160 utility mowers are real good, I use a kubota with a gxv160 but honestly the US version with the kawi engine are the better ones... I want to cut some holes on my kubota deck so it discharges even better, then have a seperate 21" for catching... The issue is getting it to spray evenly and not in directions which will paint walls green, a 6 or 7 horsepower would be better since gxv160 is only 5.5hp... also they need an inbuilt fan system to assist with the deck air flow, the more flow the less build of resin inside leading to clogging. And the blade system has to be designed in a way where the resin doesn't get trapped and start to build up... up here in NQLD discharge mowing is really effective, push mowers and ride ons that don't have the right power or discharge system get defeated here quite often due to the sheer thickness and wetness combined

it literally comes down to what you have to pick from, I am North Queen it gets a bit hard to wait........for delivery so you buy what's needed right now.

I got the click click click patented LOL, I thought I was going for a slow year, But no north Queensland 2 cyclones it is of tap up here ,

Battery and microchip industrial complexes are super toxic toward the environment despite all this talk of petrol being needed to be banned for environmental benefit. Just to make one battery for a tesla car requires so much deisel, machinery, materials, it reallt just doesnt make sense as a new mode of production in place of oil. To farm the materials requries deisel machinery, this problematic can never be rectified even if you had entire planets of farms and elec based machines, you need oil lol...

I preserve my right to own and use a honda 216 (stone me)

Any thoughts on the cumulative effects of electric power equipment on the body? Yes, less vibration is ideal for long term health, but combined with long term exposure to unhealthy amounts of EMR emitted from the electrical components, it might not be objectively "better for health" than petrol. But some people may consider it necessary, maybe all their work is at a village where high noise and vibration can cause others pain, health issues get triggered, etc, therefore electric would be the better choice. Personally I just dont want some one world government douches being able to decide what time I can start work, conduct analytics on my work, send my data to the tax man, all this stuff which is coming in the future which is largely already in place in China. Circa 2030 my ride on could detect me talking about 9ine 3leven then all of a sudden my social credit score goes down or my savings get fleeced, and I cany avoid that because at that time petrol will be illegalized, which all could be avoided if we protect petrol. There are good guys in the elec game but many toxic folks who want petrol gone, they want to farm the fuck out of commercial and domestic users, its the beast system getting its d*** in as many pockets as it can, all it wants to do is devour. So all in all fuck elec, but I still appreciate the place of elec equipment in the industry, I respect the actual utility of elec...

I don't have a ride on, use hru216 only. Lots of people turning me away lately but I try to explain to them, oy most ride ons won't cut this, you need a push mower for it plus a big ass whipper snipper (fs260) which lots of so called pros who even have ride ons do not have. I should get paid way more for taking away grass. This season has been lucrative but way too strenuous on the equipment / body, people are cheap and don't get their shit cut at proper intervals then I have the be the pseudo cowboy who comes in and makes it all better for the shit cunt regular guy. Industry goes from dead to ridiculous pace, lots of businesses get crushed by the wax and wane, I would be out of the game by now if my overheads weren't so low. You really need equity or low overheads or this game will break your balls. Low standards plus the existence of cowboy guys puts us professionals in some real peril (P.S. fuck Jim Penman).

Got so hot here I started having bad nose bleeds, went from a real lucrative season to shithouse real fast, customers are utterly ruthless and savage atm which is what happens when the industry is cranking

Sorry Ben but I’m in camp BJ on raising prices. Kudos to you for being more efficient and not needing to raise prices but in general your going backwards with income coming in. Sure I agree, your not going to give a $70 lawn a 5% price rise and make it $73.50 but I think any job over $120 deserves a price rise. Definitely for the larger jobs. If my contract on a strata community is $40,000 and my main cost is diesel and diesel goes up by 25% and I don’t raise my prices the following year. I would be losing income. Anyways love listening to you guys. You call yourself unprofessional but bring a lot of good topics and issues and use real examples to get the points across. Great show keep it up ❤

just bought one of these (whipper gripper) for my shindaiwa machines as well

How is it on hills with the fuel tank on the side?

does a 32" mower cause ruts in the yard? i really want one like this but concerned over any rutting issues. currently running a zero turn 42" and never have any issues

Welcome back you mad rooters, happy new year to you and your families ❤

People are cunts. The grass goes ballistic, you can't get all your jobs in the day done, then you gotta push a couple back, then they drop you for pushing them back. It's a joke in the residential game now.

Lost a lot of regulars with the dry months, picked some up with the rain but now the regulars are getting cold feet due to too much rain... This gig is fucked. 90 percent business closure rate over a 5yr time period. Only the soldiers and lucky cunts survive.😂

Hey guys - since you are always on the cutting edge of new technologies - do you know when the Hustler Surfer Pro stander will be released in Australia?

This is the messiest catcher I have owned. Does not take alot to fill up. It blows dust and clipping all over the operator. It takes up a lot of space and also puts alot of weight on oneside of my 48” Ariens. Constantly have the managed the level of the cutter to not cut lower oneside than the other. Also, the bracket does not allow the flap to down all the way so messy again. Anyone want to buy a brand new one let me know

What kind of hour totals are you guys putting on the TigerCat? My dealer just started carrying Scag, and I demod the TigerCat and liked it a lot. Thanks guys!

Hey guys! I have been checking out your mower reviews, and have just started watching your session videos. They're all very well made, and informative! I run a solo lawn service operation in the southern part of the US. I actually do side discharge, mulching and catching. I catch or mulch my nice residential lawns, and side discharge the bigger properties (Im glad the owner is OK with side shooting). When you guys make reference to "catching", do you mean any kind of bagging, or just the little aluminum catchers (catchpro, accelerator, etc)? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a mulch kit instead of catcher on the stander?

Watching this in 2024 looking for info on starting a mowing business. Wow you guys are amazing great topics really great info. Thank you heaps.

Really good content. More please.

i bought the biggest bush ranger brush cutter i could around 2 years ago has not missed a beat it’s heavy but strong 💪

love ya work boys I've only just found your pod cast on Spotify I've only been mowing lawns for 2 years now love all the info and the laughs keep up the good work im only up to episode 11 long way to catch up
