    Me and the old man was just discussing the blade design on these things. In the right hands they could cut better than a modern lawnmower. People were masters of their craft back when things were mostly handmade. Sometimes a step forward in tooling, causes a stumble backwards in engineering. I know from being self taught in gun science that building prototype machines (that work properly) can prove to be very difficult despite being a simple design. I encourage people to disregard expectations and try making things by hand with limited resources. If not to gain a new skill, at least to gain appreciation for the skill of others

  • @russellmaddock3492
    @russellmaddock3492 Před rokem

    Thanks for sharing your experience. That is great your dealer went to bat for you and Toro covered the parts to repair your snow blower. The Toro HD models are great machines. One thing most everyone does with these machines, is make a slight adjustment to slow first gear to a crawl. Also, many complain that the left lever tension spring is too strong. That is also an easy fix. You can either slip the spring off the handle or do like I did, remove the spring all together. The bottom spring is all that is needed to hold the handle in the up position. By doing this, the tension is cut in half. Many complain their left hand would become fatigued after a while. I know mine did until I made the modification. I have the HD 1232 which can really blow some snow. Hope your winter is a good one.

  • @t-bonebassmaster5191

    I pick up all my leaves with a pull behind vacume and scag zero turn. I could not imagine just using a mulching blade and let the small pieces just lay there. A few leaves are ok for your lawn, but too many and you start to suffocate the existing grass plus all the mulched leaves will cause spots where nothing grows because of too many mulched leaves. But it is what it is.

    Hey Craig, great video! If you were to do a full leaf clean up there, would you blow all the leaves onto the lawn and then simply bag them with the mower? Do you drive slower when bagging? I Just bought a property, LOTS OF TREES, curious about the best way to clean up. Thanks for your thoughts. Dan

    • @CraigThurston2014
      @CraigThurston2014 Před rokem

      Hi Dan When I'm going to bag up all the leaves. I will blow the perimeter of the property inwards with a leaf blower and than i will cut the leaves up several times to get them very tiny by side discharging them towards the center of the property. Sometimes big piles will build up so you will need to blow the leaves around again once you are in the center to be able to mow them down. Than I will bag them once all the debris is tiny.

    A lawn this size is perfect for laying down stripes. That you spent time zigging and zagging all over it to get the leaves is one thing, but I don't see much in the way of laying down stripes. Or, is it because it's the last cut of the season that no one really cares because it's all going to be covered in snow before long?
