God has blessed my life in many ways. I love my family and involve them in everything. This channel is kid friendly we do not use profanity. I’m thankful to be able to share things with people who enjoy my same endeavors. I’m always testing new things out to better my life. I test sawmill equipment, UTV equipment,mowers,tractors , trucks and anything else I find interesting. I plan to help people so they can see if things I’ve used or tested are good products. While making friends along the way. As my children get older and get things you will also see reviews from their perspective. Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope you find it helpful. Do your best to keep comments safe for children and respectfull.

Excellent mower we bought one last month. All six batteries last us a full mow plus some.
is the underside of the hood white?
i own 2 walker mowers a 1998 mt ghs and a 2024 model b23 and cut quality unmatched best and most versatile mowers in the industry even for winter heated hard cab with a 42 inch 2 stage snow blower or dozer blade, sprayer attachments, aerator etc all in one tractor so many implications when working for my municipality years ago we ran scags toros wrights etc. i wont ever go back to another brand but walker
@@hewgames5199 as far as versatility they are great mowers. Cut quality is decent but not as good as hustler or scag.

10 years in as a part time lawn guy and trying to get my stripes right still drives me mad. You discover little tips and tricks over time, like 1. Keep your eyes up and ahead, not angles down towards the grass. It keeps you smooth and straight 2. When making your first pass, aim for something in the distance straight ahead, like a tree, shrub, or other landmark. Specifically a landmark that is not in the lawn. 3. As you make passes through the area, avoid unnecessary circle around trees or other obstacles. I’ve found that coming out of that circle can really put a kink in my line. I usually do a half circle around trees on one pass, and keep the line straight on the next pass. Clean up with trimmer. The biggest problem I have is making sure I keep my wheels in the right spot. I’m convinced I’ll never get the hang of it.
Why
@@RyanJohnson-ft6qi why?
That's why I cut at a different angle every time I mow. I have some Ballard gold blades they cut very nice but my Predator blades have more lift and throws the discharge much farther.
Show us the same spot but with the sway bars off
@@geovannei it would flex a ton more but get unstable at highway speed.

Very lovely family, and I am sure you are crazy about your children. Please tell me your precious little girl had hearing protection when riding with you with blades on your monster mower activated. Loud noise, particularly for a child, can result in hearing loss that can plague them their entire lives. Please do not take my post as criticism, but as a simple reminder. Very lucky man you are!

Appreciate it buddy. I’m thankful to have my family. We have another one on the way. Great choice on the xpedition we love ours. TN has so many riding places. We go there a couple times a year.
Dimpled Rotors were a failed experiment. They did disapaite heat better than the standard rotor but they caught more dirt and debris thus costing more to fix the brakes, calipers and so on

BALLARD STUFF IS OVER PRICED
Sound like a broken record, but great video as always! I have not used the Ballard “X” blade system, but have used each of those blades, including the Ballard Golds. I am a fan of Ballard Hi Lift blades, but taking into account “all cutting conditions” I still prefer Deere OEM hi lifts for my 950r. The X system may be the ticket for mulching, bit who knows?
My neighbor has a 920 and I told them last month to try the Ballard high rise. They haven’t yet. I’ve seen good results from the high rise as well. Should I tell them to skip trying them?
@@americandream_89 No sir, I think they are definitely worth trying. Most people probably couldn't tell a difference in the QOC between the two. The Ballard blades seem to be made of a softer steel than the Deere OEM, but I'm not certain of this. Either blade produces excellent results. The 920 has a 23.5 Kawi, the owner may notice more of a power drag with the Ballard Hi-Rise due to the extremely high sail.
Another great video, you have confirmed what I was thinking with the 6 blade set up. Personally, I think it's too much hassle and just another expense to keep up with 6 blades for not enough return on investment.
I figured this the whole time but many have said it’s the bees knees. So I thought I’ll give it a go and it no go 🤣
I have 3 scag cheetah 2s they are the best

Hey man I know you mentioned you’ve owned both… How much better is the hyperdrive than the exmark lazer Z X series?
The main reason prefer the hustler is ride quality and they offer a 66" cut. With that out of the way both are great cutting machines but totally different ideas on execution. Hustler is a heavy machine vs Exmark. Hustler to me seems do do better in dry cuts but the new adapt system gives exmark a nice versatile cut in any grass. You can mower faster by far with hustler and not jar your teeth out. I truly never try and steer people to a product and both companies make a great mower. I would say as Ive said before after you use a hyperdrive everything else in some aspect goes backwards. Literally nothing on the market offers anything better from hydraulic power, cut and smooth driving. If you get a chance demo one id love to hear your thoughts.
Ya I do have to agree every gas power weed eater I've ever used eco or stihl Husqvarna included cause I don't like cheap crap and I do have to agree them brands do last a long time but all ways have to fight with them to get them started and thay get hot and there heavy gas is better in the long run I get that but I bought a cheap craftsman brushless rp weed Wacker with 5 ah battery and dose pretty good way faster than having to fill the weedeater mix and stuff gas cans and then getting it started I'm tired be for I even get started trimming or working on other ppls yards with electric just grab battery and go so buy you a couple more battery's there expensive but so is gas both have there advantages ied use a electric one most of the time cause it's easier ied keep my gas one for just in case I need it but if you have 10 batteries to 20 you should have no problem ever needing more batteries and that's that if you can save the cash up to get them gas ya u have to go to the store and bmfill up the cans and everything and storing it when all u got to do is pick up the battery off charge and put it on the battery trimmer and hit a button
Factory blades are KING, they're engineered for that specific mower. Whenever you're adding another blade on something that was designed for one, its just going to ware down quicker and give you problems in the future. -lazerstripes
I agree mostly. I’ve seen great results from the Ballard high lift. Factory blades are 100% the best option though.
@americandream_89 I agree with you. As though a mower manufacturer does not have the resources and engineering expertise to design blades specific to their deck design, specified HP, RPMs, torque curve and cutting speed. Always have used genuine "Toro" blades on my... "Toro" ZTR mower and the cut I get could not be better - it is perfect!
I currently have the X blade high lift and mulching blade as well. Ancient xone with 22hp Honda, vx4 60” deck. Same issues, slowed the blade, engine working harder, fuel use went up and discharge was actually less, especially in high grass. If just taking off. 1/2 “, does a great job. Absolutely stellar if double cut. However, planning to put the regular high lifts back on. Not seeing any real benefit- equal results at best.
What’s your thoughts on factory blades vs Ballard? Does the XOne run a factory 3” wide blade?
I never put the factory 3” on it, only 2.5” has been run on it. They would work, never ponied up for them- can just about get 2 sets of 2.5 for one set of hustler. Just for giggles, going to try 2 sets of high lift to see what it does. I’ll let you know what it does. Curious- what is the max rpm yours runs at? Would like to see apples to apples rpm. You have much thicker and taller grass- so the HP difference should be minimal on my thinner grass.
I just got a 2024 Platinum Tremor with the HO 6.7 and love it....I was given no charge lifetime powertrain warranty, Full Tank of diesel and def... I what's a maze at the Rock quality for an F-350 and I'm coming from or I should say going back and forth from a ram TRX that has an outstanding on Road Drive... I do got to check into the points things I don't remember getting any points from my purchase I know it took 10 months for it to come in and paid $103,400.. Now there is a few things technology-wise that coming from Ram to Ford is the assisted cruise control is better on the ram on the camera system is better on the ram it's better detail... I was for the Unleashed system it sounds outstanding
Congrats on the truck buddy. I truly enjoy every time I’m get in my truck. I sold the factory wheels and went with after market. I’ve never been impressed with ford’s camera quality. It’s almost like they don’t even try because everyone from 2017 has said the same thing. Download the free ford app that I use in several shorts videos I’ve got on here and it will automatically show your points.
@americandream_89 I do love it and Android Auto and the Screen reaction time is better than Uconnect in Ram...I noticed that driver assistance works good at least for my area when I have it on high, factory was Med but was like a pinball but high made it much better...Now the hands on steering wheel is annoying as well as where you have to place your hands for it to read that you place your hands on the steering wheel is annoying to..
I agree. I hope that the true blue cruise gets in the HD truck soon. What made you get a tremor after having a trx? I know some people think they are the same concept but actually polar opposite in reality. As in propose
@americandream_89 I travel a lot over three states and had been using the TRX, pulling a utility trailer and racking up 93k miles in 1.5 years on it, so I figured a diesel was the way to go. I happened to reach out to my sales guy at the local Ford dealership to ask about a diesel, and he said, "Man, I just got a customer's order from 10 months ago that came in, and it is bad*ss, but he decided not to buy one now... Are you interested?" and I said, "See you in an hour," lol... Yes, the TRX is the total opposite, but it did well pulling a 4500 trailer with zero issues, and it has 93k on it now... I agree, Blue Cruise....I'm loving it and I'm guessing given our Window prices they are similarly equipped...I got about every option cause the guy who had it ordered put everything just about in the truck...
@@TRX2021 sounds like a lucky call man. Mine took about 6-7 months from ordering to built and was a little below $102,000. I’d be curious as well to what was in his build vs mine. What kind of fuel economy was that TRX getting? I don’t think 4500 will even affect the 6.7L. It’s actually the best diesel for fuel economy with that 10 speed. I’d say at times unloaded you will miss that trx but if your towing constantly as you seem to be it’s a no brainier to get a diesel.
I've got the High lift with their Hybrid Gold mulch in X -blade on my 760r 60in and its great. Tried the mulch on demand kit and hated it.
Do you feel like it’s better than just a high lift on your Deere? Also what grass type do you have? I’d be curious to hear from others just like you with different mowers. Thanks for the info
@@americandream_89 I had the 740r 60-in deck before and the fx730v struggled more than the FX850v, especially with the 60in deck. I tried the x blade with two mulch blades and honestly it wasn't til I tried the high lift in x blade but you do seem to need spare power. I've seen guys with bigger motors that don't flinch at the extra weight etc. But like many things, you do seem to find a bunch of different opinions on what works in that configuration. Mostly tall Fescue
With the blades being stacked doesn't it make one blade 1/8" or so higher than the other? Yes i agree, it bogged engine and blade tip speed down. I like the high lifts myself. Marketing gimmick more than likely lol
Yeah the blades will have a height difference between them being stacked. This gives the bottom and top set 2 blade sets chopping together. It’s just not effective enough without proper blade speed and velocity
No question the right side is much better!
For sure
The right side looks better
I agree 👍 I don’t think there’s any replacement for air velocity and blade tips speed. Once you change those two very much cut quality diminishes.
You sweating yet ?? It’s in the 90’s ,very humid weather, no breeze, and you’re out in the heat giving us info 🙌🏼 Good video very informative, Thank you for sharing!!!
Not gonna lie it was hot 🥵 I’m thankful to be alive and able to do this. Hopefully it will save others time and money 💰
I'm not a fan of the hybrid gold Ballard blades! Actually I get better work with the Ripper blades! They seam much much better!!!!
I just tested the x blade. Have you used the high lift vs ripper?
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Coarser is generally better. It causes less heat in the blade. Also, do not dwell in one spot too long.
