How to Change Riding Lawn Mower Blades
Bought the 1600 elite pse yesterday on clearance $559 still in the box
Awesome! That's a great deal.
This is stunning (and such a great idea to put “feet” on the board)!
Thank you so much! It was my wife's idea, haha.
Nice, good luck
@fabianvega1142 thank you 😊
✨flush✨
ok
Commented on your earlier video. Have a dump trailer so will make some ramps to back up into that and dump. Have to take away.
Taking the clippings away would be nice. They compost surprisingly fast, but I still have a small mountain! I've been putting about half of them in my chicken coop, and they make short work if it.
Finally I find someone that has similar issue with their lawns/pasture. I have two pastures, now no ponies but have been trying to recoup them. Grass is longer in my case so it'll take some time to get it down a bit shorter. As with the raking.....LOL Have done way too much of that over that past 17 years. Good workout for sure. Like you, I windrow if I am doing pickup. Used to mow every month with horses. Now with no horses, I try to mow every week and most of the time, I don't have to pick the grass up. The down side to all of this over the years is, my base is dead, meaning it isn't nutrient rich anymore. This will lead me to eventually thatching both pastures, possibly some reseeding and spraying again. Generally I spray 3 times a year. Early spring, mid summer and then end of season. We are on irrigation water so limited to water supply. April to first of October. Since we are on irrigation water, we end up with all sorts of weed species in our pasture, hence, spraying. The fall spray I spray extra heavy to downsize any weeds we've acquired which then gives up a pretty good pasture grass to start the season. Appreciate the info. Have been trying to decide which one to get. The only downside to these sweepers of lesser value are the wheels with the plastic gears. Looks like that will be an extra set and brushes for future replacements.
I am highly considering sheep for that same reason! Little lawnmowers, haha. Having to rotate them is my only apprehension. The only issue I've had with the wheels so far is that longer grass stems can get wrapped around the axle. I only had to clean it once this year, but it's definitely worth looking out for.
How do i order those coffee tables
Feel free to contact me at zachmurray@zmcc.co
I got the same grill last year for my father's day present from my wife also. And I luv my grill.
We definitely have good wives haha
Great video brother!! Did I see correctly that the temperature control goes up in 5 degree increments? Any issues with holding temp?
Thank a bunch! We appreciate it! Yes indeed, it is in 5 degree increments. I have found the it holds temperature very well. It will overshoot by a few degrees as it tries to maintain the temperature, but it quickly goes back to your set temperature. More than good enough in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Those legs look awesome. Never thought about sliding some peppers under the skin.
Your Tony's rub. Are there different flavors also?
From what I know of, they have three "styles". Original, Low Sodium, and More heat. More like different versions of the same thing to suit your preference.
That's helpful information but an electric hoist is much cheaper and more useful than a MoJack.
They could be, depending on your situation. I don't have a reliable anchor point, so working off of the ground was safer/easier for me.
@@MurrayHomestead Of course, if you have nowhere to install a hoist, a MoJack is a handy option.
IMO, depending on what you're cooking. I would keep that upper rack handy. Ribs IMO should go on the upper rack, and i usually cook pork butts on the upper rack with a water pan. Nice grill, and happy smoking! Just got into this hobby about a year now myself. Always learning for sure.
That makes sense. I'm sure it could come in handy. For now, I enjoy the freedom of movement. Happy smoking and I hope we both keep learning!
Got ours a month ago. Used it once. Made it SO much easier to clean under the deck. Paid $450 CAN plus tax. Good investment I think. Thanks for your video!
We love ours too! Glad your maintenance has gotten easier!
Hello Sach and Hepzy
Hello Maury 👋
Watching from Australia
Glad to have you here!
OCD satisfied - with every pass the heartrate lowered...! excellent !
Haha, glad that helped!
Great video been looking at one of those. Hate racking. When I buy will use your link
It's definitely a quality of life upgrade, haha. Thanks a bunch, we really appreciate it!
would have been nice to see more footage of it in action....
I don't disagree...my brother is going to lend me his GoPro so I can get some quality footage of it working. I'll post another video with more demonstrations soon. Thanks for the comment.
@@MurrayHomestead Good, cause my OCD kicked in... haha
Here you go! I hope this was sufficient. czcams.com/video/IexEgwmqwsw/video.html
I have a 23 HP zero turn and I have a similar issue with it bogging down and what i learned was it was less an issue with HP or torque but more about issues with being able to discharge after it was cut. I raise my chute to help but it still bogs down occasionally. I bought this same yard sweeper and have really been pleased with it. Great video.
lol, I put that first comment after only watching about 2 min of your video and you literally commented the same thing.
Ha, too funny. I'm glad you're liking the lawn sweeper too! I just used it yet again today. It really makes maintaining a yard so much easier. Thanks for the comment! Much more to come.
Heck I was expecting a Thread Ripper 64 core monster but.... 😊
Ha! I thought about it, but it's more of a gaming computer than anything else.
@@MurrayHomestead: hi sir, that high end gaming motherboard bios version outdated.
@@MurrayHomestead: Please update new latest bios version for that motherboard. Thank you.
I'll download and update it this evening. Also, Intel released their CPU update as well.
I love mine.
Glad you do!
Old thermal paste is just fine, do the work. Good video.
It actually did work just fine! Ten years running, haha. Thank you.
Great review. I really like my pro series.
Thanks a bunch! Hopefully you're eating as good as us over here!

You're very welcome, and thanks for the subscription!
Not wanting to spoil the party but a strong word of abundant caution: BEWARE OF PIT BOSS/DANSONS FOR ANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!! I purchased a Pit Boss Champion barrel smoker ten months ago and it has decayed and rusted to the point the hinges on the firebox door are seizing and their so called FIVE YEAR parts warranty means garbage in every sense. Sarcastic and rude is all I can tell you thus far. They are criminals and pushing the legal boundary now so I would absolutely boycott these jokers. You will (eventually) thank me.
Not sure what to say here. I haven't had any reason to deal with customer support yet. That being said, I've had the smoker for over a month now and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I actually like the finish so much that I called it out on the review. In my opinion, it will last. As you say, time will tell.
going to try this soon. Thanks..
You're very welcome. I hope you like it!
Don't you find the skin is a little rubbery when you low and slow it ? I feel hot and fast is just better for chicken
I understand what you're saying. That is indeed usually the case, but the way I do it, I crank the temperature at the end. It's definitely not "fried" at the end, but you do get a nice snap from the skin. You can see at the very end when I pull the meat apart, about 11:50, the skin tears, not stretches.
Like you, I am a KEEP IT SIMPLE kind of guy! They have made WAY to much out of a lot of these cooks on CZcams.
You're absolutely right! And the blog style format you get with any online recipe is just the worst. As a veteran, I fully support the K.I.S.S. mindset.
But does this hurt the chicken?
@@murdawg6gaming87 No, not at all. They love the warmth and attention.
I love you too...Ahahahahahahaaa. Thank you for the video! MMmm. Pretty crazy we were discussing the GLORIOUS Last Supper...then those crazy olympic people put that trash on the TV in front of children. Big blessings from Canada. Love to all 3 of you !
Oh wow, I'm just leaning about that. What a shame. We all need more Jesus these days.
