zhlédnutí 1KPřed 3 lety
Just some tips and highlights in what to look for when purchasing a used reel mower.
Small Yard Mowers
zhlédnutí 256Před 3 lety
just a quick introduction on two choices of mowers for a smaller yard
Could you tell me the part # for the mulch kit & could you post a picture of the kit installed
I see you have the Fiskars also. I bought that at beginning of the year. I’m almost 60 and I’m tired of pushing it through my now very thick Bermuda.
My Rolux 20” arrives in 2 days. Be my first Petrol Reel mower. 9 blade Honda. Much excited. Looks like you got a great deal there. I looked on FB marketplace for a while but nothing in my area. Buying new.
How do you sharpen those blades and how often.
I have the same issue with the deck height being too far away. Did you have to add that metal piece or can you just flip the arm around and put the spring back on? Also, I am not finding the link to that video. Can you please link or post as I would like to do the same to my Patriot? Thank you,
I have a 21 scag its got about a 180 hours on it iv had it serviced once a year now it runs a few minutes and dies let it set for awhile an it will start an run an then same thing dies what is it when its running runs great up till then
Check out the modification for gear ratio that High Performance Lawn Reel Mowers did: czcams.com/video/rEYq0kba4ug/video.htmlsi=oaxHbjLMMBbCNQZZ
Which one needs blade sharpening more frequently?
Does that have the advantage cutting deck
No scag models liberty, freedom and patriot comes with a hero deck
I had a Gravely 48” proturn before I purchased the scag. Zero issues with the gravely in 6 years. Patriot shows up and use it once and the right Hydro was leaking. Almost two month at the dealer and finally getting it back today.
Do you like the Fiskars grass catcher? I'm seeing the stand alone price of $87. Coupled with the Amazon price of $267 for the mower, we're talking about $350+!
Is the vibration on the patriot bad ? Can you feel a lot of vibration
Great job. Thanks.
Nice review
What is the size of the metal you used for the mower deck paddle?
Good video. Thank you.
So you like the scag better than the gravely? I’ve been thinking about buying a new zt hd 52.. but there’s a low hour(50hr) patriot by me for 7k.. on the fence.
So 7k is the lowest patriots go for huh
Buy the Skaggs , built way better!
Porque el scag Freedom Z 26.0 gross HP , se apaga cuándo quitó el freno de mano?
🙏🏽amen same experience GO Scag !!
Can i ask what you paid for it before the mods
Did you ever figure it out ?
Could I take the chute off if I have the mulch kit on?
Great video! I'm a mower nerd and have always wanted to try one of these. Might be my next toy I get. Thanks for the "reel" life review.
Just picked up our SCAG Freedom so far its a nice machine.
What size freedom z
Are those residential or commercial
For peeps watching, Fiskar says not to rinse off with water and you should dry off the mower as best as possible, so there is some upkeep with it. You can use a compressor to clean and dry it. Love my mower ❤
i got a fiskars and i thought it was broke cause it was so quiet. but nope. cuts fine.
@turnertv nice video, where did you get your baffle/blowout kit? I just got a patriot 52" myself and there is a ton of blowout from the font and side.
Just ordered mine off Amazon - let’s go
What part of Texas? Are you cutting Bermuda? I’m in Georgetown
This is THE video I was looking for - Fiskar’s it is!
Thanks for the video. I'll be getting my 2023 Patriot 61 inch with kawasaki motor delivered tomorrow. I'll be looking for a baffle for the front now that you pointed it out for me. Thanks
Oh man I see your scag in your profile picture it’s looking beautiful bro has everything ran smooth any issues ?
@@soulja617Running great! Zero issues so far my 1st season with it. Put about 60hrs on it. I put a baffle kit and the Scag light kit that's made for the Patriot so I can mow later in the evenings during the hot months of summer. I use the Kawasaki 10w-40 oil in spring with cooler temps and then change the oil out to 20w50 around 4th of July for rest of summer to help with the heat when mowing 1.5 hrs on 3 acres. I feel the 20w-50 oil helps the air cooled motor during the hot months. It's been a great investment so far. Yard looks great. I keep the blades sharp. Just used the Patriot today to apply my pre emergent of Barricade 4FL. Still about 3 weeks away before my 1st mow here in northern Indiana. No problems with the ZT 3400 Hydros yet. I'll be changing out the filters and changing the oil out here in the next week or two and I shouldn't have to worry about that again for a few years when I get to around 250-300 hrs on the mower.
I brought a Scag in 2021 with a 52” deck and I have not had any issues with my paint peeling. This mower is a tank and I love it.
Very thorough, and great video, thanks for all the information-hopefully will be getting my hands on a 260 within 2 weeks
I bought a Scag Patriot new in 2020. My 52" deck paint is also peeling off pretty badly. I bought some Scag orange spray paint and touch it up every season as best I can. Agree that it's built like a tank and performs quite well on my 1.75 acre rural lawn. However, I had a really frustrating issue right from the beginning that my dealer failed to correct for 2 years. My Kawasaki engine kept backfiring and I couldn't figure out why. I always use ethanol free marine fuel so that wasn't the cause. After 2 years of me complaining, the Dealer finally witnessed it themselves so they investigated and got it corrected. But 2 years of backfiring on a brand new, high dollar Scag was very surprising and disappointing. That said, I really love the machine and recommend it!
What was the cause of the backfire?
So what was the cause or problem ??? We could use the information
Put up a vid on hydro fluid/filter change. Just bought that same mower with 200hrs. Need to do a deep clean and tune up.
Hey how’s it running so far is it easy to access and service the hydros ??
Yes it’s pretty straightforward. Don’t cheap out on filters or fluid. Buy what the manual calls for.
Good information thank you for posting. Purchased a 2023 Patriot mower with the Briggs and Stratton motor based on managers suggestion especially since I will add a catcher soon. Ric
Great choice! That mower should last you forever with proper maintenance!
@@turnertv9925so Briggs and Stratton will last the same as kawasaki engines ?
@@soulja617briggs Vanguard yes, regular briggs no, you will get 200 to 500hrs out of it.
Que tipo de césped tienes???
P metric tires are more for passenger vehicles, that's the P. Do these handle well on your truck with a load? I got the same tire but the 10 ply E rated and they are great except I lost mpg.
I will say they definitely felt squirmy. I ended up going with a set of cooper discovers that feel much more stable and planted, especially when pulling a loaded trailer.
Got a Scag 30 got good Points and bad points
Just got a JD22 greens mower. What oil spec is used in transmission case?
Your yard is as flat as a billiard! Since I live in Costa Rica we have a local species called “sweet grass” it’s probably what you call carpet grass and Saint Augustine. I use my Scott’s 16” twice or thrice a week! But I’m looking forward for a Fiskar’s. My Craftsman Honda rotary mower sees a lot less action these days!
I run my Scotts with the blade barely, just BARELY, off of the bed knife, which makes a hug e difference in effort required, noise level and has a beatiful cut. I've been curious about the Fiskars. Some of their stuff is matchless (their post hole diggers for example) and some of their stuff, not so much. Thanks for posting!
Hiw many times you sharpen blades so far??
Do you attach bagger?
Thanks for your perspective! I was thinking about getting one to go green. Since I hate mowing the lawn, I guess I'll keep my Honda gas mower.
Great video; thank you very much… Very interesting.
Chains on wrong….
Chain is on the wrong side of the tensioner
I'm checking craigslist daily for an 18" Fiskers hehe. I want to add an electric motor like I saw on James Correia channel. I just wished Fiskars had a wider mower. Also curious about how close the blade gets to the bed knife and how it can be adjusted. thanks for sharing, good vid
Not sure what they have in plans, it seems like the same model and no changes year after year, but hey, if it's working great for them then I understand. As far as the blade to bed knife distance, this is one of the few reels that the blades don't come in contact with the reel. It's close but doesn't touch at all, or shouldn't. That's another plus to this reel as it stays sharp a little longer.
Agree with you on the cardio/workout aspect. Woke up SORE all over after mowing for an hour yesterday with the 16” Scott’s Classic!
Dude I JUST bought a 16” Scott’s Classic reel mower yesterday. Then I see this. 😭
