Video

Great information thanks for the video. I just got my rotary scissors a couple of days ago.

Welcome back! This year was the first I put down a pre-emergent! 😂 I always battled crab grass and just let it do its thing. Well, what a difference pe makes! I still have a couple spots along the edge where crab grass came up but it was an easy pluck. Few spots in the front, again it was an easy pluck. Im dealing with spurge in the front and purslane in the back yard. Had my sons plucking spurge today but it got hot. Ima guess on next video you will be spoon feeding for a good green up!

Been wondering where you’ve been haha. I love how Celsius doesn’t have any temp restrictions. I just treated with it and sprayed late in the evening, this valley heat has been brutal.

Looking forward to the progress.

Glad to watch another great episode and eager for more. I need a little sanity in this very insane time.

Hi Dwayne - thank you so much for this video...Quick question, I got the whole thing installed but I can't get my blades to spin even with clutch all the way down. Is this where I need to make an adjustment with the cable positioning with the nuts?

Hi, Allett recommend that you either remove or raise the little grass rake behind the front roller if you are using the scarifying or verticutter cartridge as it can dig into the soil and degrade the battery quicker.

great video! Just got one of these beasts. Very useful video!

It’s mid summer in New England, could I use this new Stay Green without worrying about burning my lawn?

No grease fittings is not good! I’ve had cars that had no grease fittings and the front end parts didn’t last 15,000 miles! The replacement parts fortunately had grease fittings and they have lasted over 150,000 miles! Now obviously if you don’t grease them they won’t last but if you simply grease them once or twice a week they will outlast non greaseable parts exponentially.

Sorry if I missed it but how many sq ft are you mowing with that GM1000? I’m trying to determine if the 21” width is good enough for my 6500 sqft or if I should go with the 26” wide GM1600.

Dwayne how high can you cut with a reel 3”?

Which “wheel still spinning” are you talking about? The actual black wheel of the blade fly wheel?

Had a question for you, or anyone really. I recently had to replace my belt because the other one shredded even though I just bought it back in May. I replaced the belt and went to use it today but it felt off. Seeing your video reminded me that I forgot to put that green arm back in the right spot that is there to guide the belt. I’m not sure if this is what made my mower self propel by itself as I engaged the level for the assisted propel of the mower but my mower was moving on its own and the blade was spinning. To stop it I had to disengage the propel level but the blades keep spinning despite not holding the handle to engage the blades. The mower did feel more powerful at the wheel and jolted forward more and it definitely took more force to stop the mower. Wondering if maybe it was just that green bar that guides the belt or if the clutch needs to be adjusted? Any ideas?

Are you coming back anytime soon? I hope that you’re doing alright

I used the video while I did this mod and it was very helpful. If you are debating about whether this mod is worth it, I'm only 5'8" and the stock height was giving my 67 year old back a bad time. So much better at the higher level!

This video was DAMN good. Well done Dwayne. Subbed

how do you put the wheel back on an edger mine fell off

We miss your videos, Dwayne!!

Can the CT cut 100 💵 bills? If so I'll order it next week !

Do you need to water-in these products within a specific time period?

Bonus...you showed me how to fix my throttle cable that hasn't ever worked! I'm not a small engine guy so I didn't really know the ins and outs. Thanks!

I bought a McLane last year, nothing but trouble….that machine is trash , three months after I bought it the rear axel broke. Nothing but trouble since I got it . And had too pay 3 times more than my last one…NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY ANOTHER MCLANE !!

Lawn goals!!

Considering all the brown patches you need to apply some water management techniques and or add some nutrients to your ultra short cut lawns soil.

OMG 20 min for 30 seconds of info.

Can you tell us the dimensions of your 2x4 chock blocks? Pretty cool and functional….Aloha!

For those who prefer battery-powered mowers, the company informed me they developed a battery-powered version, which comes out this summer!

Ordered & received mine last month after watching Dwayne's World videos. Bye-bye rotary mower! The CT cuts like a dream! Leaves nice stripes on my low cut centipede grass. Solid build, this thing is a "tank". Shipping weight of 200 lbs. I'm guessing the operating weight is around 150 lbs. You have to think 2 or 3 paces ahead when turning it or mowing around tight areas and curves. The company has great customer service. They sold me a like-new refurbished floor model at a nice discount. They also talked me through a few set-up features after the mower arrived!

Bakersfield?

I've owned a California Trimmer since 1968. I bought a McClain six years ago. Because of problems with bed knife, the mower not moving uphill, and bearings wearing out I pulled the old Cal Trimmer out of the barn, installed a new bed knife, New electric start engine, new chains and I now wonder why I quit using it. The bearings last forever if maintained, you maintain the bearings on the McClain by replacing them. you maintain the bearings on the Trimmer by applying grease. My Trimmer just turned 51 years old.

Thank you Sir, you are da Mannn :)

Just completed my back lap on my CT. Great video as always Dwayne. Hope to see you soon on CZcams once again.

Nice lawn

This is the best backlap video I've seen so far I learned the direction of the chain link and also putting your blade against the bed knife before adjustments Thank you so much

So, it's basically a "Round" Hedge Trimmer! I've got the Stihl hedge trimmer attachment for my string trimmer, and I've used it several times in dense ground cover an it worked great! I will have to look into these! Great video!

So did you put the set screw going up or did you put the set screw going on the side and did it change the angle?

I WOULD NEVER GET A RYOBI SPRAYER, ONE OF THEIR WORSE PRODUCTS EVER.

Great video and very detailed 💪🏽💪🏽👍👍

Where can I purchase the grass shield

I know this is an old post but thought I'd put in my 2 cents. Today's putting greens are at or below 0.125-inch. Lets think about the geometry of the mower. At putting green height the angle of attack of the bed knife is correct, but if you raise the height to 5/8 or .0625-inch, it changes the bed knife angle of attack drastically. It flattens it out when you raise the front. IMHO the 14 blade will give you a great quality of cut if the bed knife angle of attack is proper. To keep the correct angle of attack, you would have to raise the rear roller and on the GM1000, I am not sure you can do that.

With any greens mower, why not adapt a fix to cut at 3 to 4 inches so a homeowner could use it? I'm sure any good mechanic could adapt the roller.

It appears it’s not spinning while you’re applying the wax.

Dwayne, Great channel! Just got a new CT after 32 years with the same Honda HR 215 rotary . I have Tiff 419 now. Where did you buy the 80 grit compound in bulk?

😊 were you a cameraman? The clarity other video is great thanks. Good review.

best video ever on a Mclane Backlap...I have a 20inch and after a reel change I have a slight metallic sound coming from the reel. I think the reel is hitting the shroud. Not to mention Im gong to make those wooden stands...great idea!

I used mine 3 days and now its low pressure cr ap dont buy. Spend the money and go flowzone

What’s the best beginner reel mower between $1,500 - $2,000 ??

I wanna see an oil burner option… like a KD15-225 4.5 hp Kohler or A 15LD 3.7 hp. A bit heavier but I like the ability to store diesel in large quantity as a single fuel without the fuel going stale.

What really bites is EGO sells them over seas such as UK and AU.
