Apsolimane man!!
I kept waiting for him to glue an RFID tag to the blade, or the lawnmower. I guess I missed a bit at the beginning.
Good advice brother. Everyone likes to move too fast which usually leads to bad endings.
@@rodneyyarbrough6524 Hey, thank you for the comment! I believe we all have something valuable to share that can help each other, especially in these challenging financial times. Thank you!
Doing this today on my father-in-law's exmark radius. Great video. Thanks
I am discussing the importance of setting up efficient systems and processes within a business to avoid frustration and mismanagement. I share my personal experiences with a car wash company that has invested in an RFID system but hasn't trained its employees properly, leading to poor customer service. I am trying to emphasize that establishing clear, adaptable processes not only saves time and reduces frustration but also improves overall business operations, whether in lawn care, I was Constantly buying new lawn blades instead of sharpening them wastes time and money. Setting up a regular sharpening routine is more efficient, saves costs, and prevents a buildup of dull blades. A system in place ensures better time management and long-term savings. In both companies and life, it's often the small tasks that seem insignificant but are crucial in the long run. These tasks might not grab attention, but they build the foundation for success. As Henry Ford said, "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." It's these little efforts, consistently applied, that keep everything running smoothly and lead to big achievements. Stay consistent & keep your blades sharp and your profits High!✌️
I don't get it, what's it about blades, rfid and car wash?

good info :)
@DREWSPROPERTYMANAGEMENTLLC Thanks for your message! I'm just trying to get the wheels turning here. I've noticed that many companies don't set any systems in place and just shoot from the hip. I think if there was more of a system in place, many employees wouldn't necessarily want to leave. They would know what to expect and could better learn their job.✌️
Words for the Wise: I've found aftermarket parts are either equal (most commonly), better, or worse than OEM. A little research can save lots of $$$, but takes time, effort, & common (?) sense. Nearly all these parts are manufactured overseas (often in the same factories as the OEM parts). But if your getting company discounts, tax breaks, & even promoitional benefits 😮 (Yes, it's common amongst social media 'influencers'), then save the time & by OEM from your dealer. This is my (& other's) experience, & does not necessarily represent the views of the 'owners'. Enjoy the freedom to choose for yourself while it lasts, since it'll be gone soon if we remain on our current trajectory.
how well can you see with your side views mirrors on that trailer?
Good video Rob! Its funny I bought an impact wrench but for some reason still use a breaker bar and speed wrench for the lug nuts. And after I'm done I think "Why didn't I pull that out?".
Oh man I’de love to have one like this someday so nice! Thats a perfect trailer.
Fit? Arch? Comfort?
Don’t know if you’re still around, but my ex mark started making some noise back there and it bogs down when mowing. Sounds like it’s coming from the clutch area little bit of a chirping sound. Did yours do that and what do you think? Thanks
Not sure you answered the original question about belts… you spent most of the time talking about blades and other parts.
@theoriginalfixitallgarage Hey, I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment! Not every belt is made the same, but in my experience, the Exmark belt for the main drive held up well. However, the other Exmark belts didn't last as long. I did find a couple of aftermarket belts for the Ultra Vac vacuum that worked okay. Thanks again for your comment!
Thanks for taking the time to do the video. 😊👍
Here is one for you. I have a 2023 exmark radius with less than 250 hours on it. After the unit is running for an hour or two, the clutch will stop working until it cools down. Will make a faint buzzing noise sometimes but it has been doing it for at least 100 hours. Still under warranty but the dealer can't replicate the issue
Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having. If you haven't already fixed it, you might want to ask the dealer if they could ohm it out, to see if there's a direct short to ground in the PTO clutch. Hope that helps!
What's your recommendation on after market belts and blades. The price difference is unreal.
For the main drive belt, I paid full price name brand. my thinking was, Buy once, cry Once. I did buy aftermarket belts for the ultravac, it seemed like it would eat belts up like candy, Stretch them out. Blades and other consumables, I would buy them off of Amazon. I used a lot of the copperhead High lift blades they worked Okay. Unfortunately, I got the best prices from Amazon, I tried to buy locally. Amazon is so dam convenient.
@@oakwoodlawnmaintenancellc.1093 The OEM deck belt here was $186 and the drive belt was $53. Can't really complain because the mower is 7 years old. Blades are about 60% cheaper online. I'm running a mulching kit on mine and I love it. I only do 4 yards for widow women. I appreciate your opinion and look forward to more videos
My oil drain tube is stuck onto the nipple, any hacks to get it off of the nipple without breaking things?
If anyone is wondering, I was able to get it off while lightly prying with a screw driver and twisting the tube, while the engine was warm.
For better or for worse I have the flex system and this worked perfect for my surging issue too! Thanks!
How did u find the studs?
You need a level in that truck boss.
I'm thinking about upgrading, but I would agree.
@@oakwoodlawnmaintenancellc.1093 I run an HTX V in my 20 Sierra 1500 and with the level it’s good to go.
I almost hung myself 37 seconds in
This music is horrendous
Love my echo
Nice, Echo 2620T
Is trailer holding up good ? Is it pro series ? Roof had 1 yr warranty ?
No, it's not the pro series. I've had no trouble with the roof. No leaks dries can be inside. I would buy it again. I'm very pleased with it.
Thanks. I would just buy vnose too so no need for loadrunner with 3 year roof warranty.
I think that Emma might need a helmet, gr8 light.
Please explain where the plug is at for the PTO clutch. You mention, “down there” but I’m not sure where to look or what I’m looking for.
There should be some wires down around the PTO Clutch, it has a connector that requires a flathead screwdriver to gently lift up on the tab while you're pulling the wires.
Would look great on my hood mounts
Great Book. Thanks
Same motor but i have a quest. I'm also a Michigan boy. Thanks for the great vid. Im changing the oil today. T😎
Is this the speed feed head that comes with this trimmer?
yes
*promo sm* 🙈
Some manufacture's recommend: Use torque wrench to tighten (55 ftlbs), no lock tite. Last Step: Before use, Burnish new clutch/ Roter and armiture come together as both need to be broken in. Put deck into top position - Start tractor, Briefly run at 3/4 throttle, run /disengage for 10 times. Thank you.
I have always heard half throttle and 10 times for sure. Some as many as 30 time. They all have torque specs.
Hilarious! Great video
How do you release the hydraulic in the back wheels to push the mower if it breaks down and you have to push it?
on both sides of the mower underneath the back there should be a knob that you would unloosen and then pull the rod to release the hydraulics.
Hey can you fit two stand on mowers in this setup and a push mower? Thanks
I use a block of timber behind the wheels of the auger in the truck, it holds the machine in place nicely.
How often do you use the down force? I've seen full sized V plows ride up over sticky or dense snow so weight alone will not always do the trick. A backdrag edge will help but they also wear out kinda fast from what I hear. I'd rather just have one edge to worry about and a plow that can stay down tight to the ground.
In Bosnia we are calling cocacognac, is only good with that 😂
🍺🍻
Thanks, headed down to the garage right now to give it a try!
My model is a "yardworks" but the engine looks the same. I was told it's basically a MTD . Will try this on a warm day. It surges on full speed and wants to stall-out when I slow the throttle down below about half way. Sure hope this works. Clay Oh I already took the bowl off the bottom and cleaned that.
Did it work?
cheap crap
And, it's a month later, and now I have the surging... lol. I did what you instructed... PERFECT !!
I just use ethanol free fuel. Never have these problems again.
sweet find, I have the exact same surging issue, the video was shot very clearly so I can actually follow with my sketchy vision, thanks for the help
Thanks a bunch for sharing that video! I actually live in Michigan too, in Rochester Hills. I ran into the exact same issue with my used blower. It's been around for about 3 years, and just yesterday, I noticed this rough idle sound. I tried taking apart the carburetor jet, but no luck. Then, I stumbled upon your video and followed your tips. It worked like a charm! The issue is completely gone now, and I'm so happy I found your advice
Thank you. I just picked up a really nice 5 year old 2620 for $450. It runs great, but it does have a bit of surging. I will definitely be cleaning out low idle jet.
Awesome video 😂 .... just added 2 of these on my buddies 2018 Ram 1500 where to front tow hooks go .... great led bars
