I know how you feel using the push mower as I started with a push mower,Walmart weed whacker/blower when I first wanted to start doing other people’s yards besides a couple with mine for 20+ years as I went from that push mower to a lawn tractor which I still got for last 3 years almost,then upgraded to echo back pack blower,saved up more money then got a stihl weed whacker,then got a cheap dump cart to haul my stuff around in to do local neighborhood yards and now just upgraded the push mower to a 33” cub cadet walk behind mower as it was all I could afford atm & now I’m all set til I save up more funds to get other equipment,etc as I am partnering up with another landscaper to do yards not in my Area since he has yards near where I can pick up some so I’m glad I learn some new stuff with your videos that I thought I’d never try..😉🤷🏻♂️🤔👍🏻
Thank you Ronnies
I don't know what it is about you. I like listening to you speak and your wisdom more than the cutting. I think it's your professionalism even on a side hustle and the way you conduct yourself. A lot of respect to you. I'm learning a lot.
Benevolent One Thank you!
"Not my ass". Pretty funny. Got some laughs out of me there Dan. You have given me a lot of great tips over the years. Way back to your Troy Bilt 360 days. Yes... I really like my Honda HRX217VKA. Thanks for those reviews too.
My pleasure Ken!
Oh how I have missed this mower. Not that I dont love the other one. Just love the way the Honda does its thing.
It is a great cut... I agree!
Interesting subdivision.. looks like something out of a movie.
They put these homes up in a few months... Boom! Instant lawn service route
Nice job. Loved the edging you do. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you
You sure do a great job at videoing and that’s sure a good way to edge on wood fencing learn something. Thanks!God Bless be safe.
Thank you
Old school Back to basics 👍
Thank you Joey
My Stihl BG-50 bailed me out after my backpack blower and trimmer were stolen minutes earlier last week. I received the Stihl BG-50 for free on a previous mower purchase. It’s a Boss. 👍👍
Sorry for your bad luck. Hope you recover from the losses
I stopped weedeating with shorts I found that my shins appreciate it ,either boots 🥾 or pants and my kujo foot wear. With that being said those shoes are worth the price 5stars
Jerome. My go to boot/shoe are Keens. That is all I will wear. Glad you like your Kujo's.
Now that I’ve seen this video I think I can start my business. I have a Honda HRR216vxa a mcLane wall behind edger and a echo string trimmer. All I need is a blower and I’m ready to go. I was worried about the big setup but I can go old school.... thanks for the inspiration brotha!
You're welcome
Great this video
Thank you
Today, October 7th we felt the 1st cold weather it was 63 and I take your advise on last cut that should be before thanksgiving, I enjoyed your videos and let's see what you got plan for fall and winter to watch, I am sure you will send us great videos no matter what season it is. Tks dan
Thank you Mansour.
Thanks for the great video Dan and congratulations to Matthew!!!
Thank you
Awesome Dan...Thanks for the video!
Thank you
Hey Dan great video. I use a stihl BG 56C blower and it's small but easy to start and not heavy. I love it. Your small like me so it's all we need.
It’s a nice lightweight blower
Lol good ol days
When work is simple. Not necessarily easy, but definitely simple lol
I have the Stihl KM 110 with most all of the attachments for it. Edger, weed eater, blower, articulating hedge trimmer, pole saw and the tiller. I also have A snapper hivac push mower. I have used Hondas, Toro , snapper and all the other brands. The reason I choose the snapper over the Honda it does a much better job bagging over the Honda. If I was going to much all the time I would go with a Toro super recycle because I think that's the best strictly for mulching. My snapper does mulch pretty well will the kit and the single x blade. The reason I didn't choose the Honda was the weight, the 2 spreate blades. And where l when we used them at the company I worked for. The metal deck would been and the blade would hit if you ran into a tree roof on the surface or edge of of side walk. Plus the snapper has a much better transmission and it's super easy to work on, maintain and clean.
West Cobb A.J snapper must pay well
I love the BG50. Strong blower for the size.
Sure is and very affordable
Love the video Dan! Love how you walk us through your thought process and the "why" behind what you are doing!
I have a Stihl 130 KOMBI and it is really too heavy for my weed eater. It's great for the edger (curved shaft) I use old my little Echo 2100SB more when weed eating/trimming. Stihl makes great stuff, I also have an old BG85 Blower. I tend to buy commercial stuff hoping that I will get a lifetime of use out of them. I need to either sell the Stihl Kombi or the Echo PAS system. No need to have two when I just mow my own yard.
What led you to go with the Stihl over Echo?
Lizard alert @ the 17:51 Mark - as you're mowing down along the wooden fence towards the bottom of the fence, I saw the little feller running for his life on the fence, lol. PS: I've watched you mow this particular lawn so many times now that I know it as good as you do! Even done it in my sleep a few times as well. What is wrong with me? But I could only push mow it in my dreams, as those days of push mowing are over for me because of my joint problems. That's why I spent the BIG bucks and bought my Gravely ZT-XL 42" with the bagger system. It's the perfect size for any homeowner. Or even for someone like you, Dan. Oh wait, you already have one of these, so you know exactly what I'm talking about. :-)
I liked the ZT 42 X. It’s a good compact ztr
Im torn between this hrx and toro timemaster to start a little side hustle with. That honda cut is very nice.
Johnnel White since I have owned both I can say with certainty the Timemaster is garbage. Not worth $600 never mind $1,000.
@@DansVlog dam i wasn't expecting that. Ive been hearing good things about them from homeowners and people who use them commercially. If i do get one i most definitely will purchase from a dealer and not big box.
Congratulations on your kid upgrading belts , I know those tests are not easy !
Keith W. Thank you Keith. I am so proud of my little man
@@DansVlog Your welcome
Think you Dan for the video
Thank you Ashley
Hey Daniel! Your pop up window explaining the edging was hilarious. I guess this means the end of your sleeveless shirts for the season? I am bummed. I don't watch your mowing videos solely for your lawn expertise, you know. :D
Lol Amy I will be in sleeveless shirts all week
@@DansVlog Ok, now that makes me happy! :)
Nice camera work Dan, great video as always! 👍👍
Thank you Tman
How do you recommend that I store my Honda lawnmower for the winter?
Ah Dan... if you really went back to the basics you would be pushing around a reel mower with a grass catcher behind it. No matter how careful you were when you emptied the catcher, half the grass ended up on the ground. Do you remember (probably not since you're so young) the hand powered, back breaking edger? It was basically a wheel of spikes with a handle. You had to push your way (back and forth) to make a clean edge. In both cases, the mower and the edger, you got a real upper body workout, especially that first edging of spring. Lordy, how things have changed, and that's a good thing!
I had both as a kid, and a spade to scrape the edges after I push edges with the manual star wheel!
@@DansVlog OMG! You;re MUCH older than I though! I wish I had thought of the spade. I used my hands. Lots of raw knuckles. Oh, the memories...
I will be 49 in December
@@DansVlog Well, I have to say, you look younger than that. I would have guessed 45 or 46. It's all that walking behind a lawn mower that keeps you young. Remember that during your next epsom salts bath. LOL.
Good job.
Thank You
great video Dan
Thank you Jorma!
Your welcome
Hey Dan I am Jorma’s girlfriend I like your video
Nice to meet you Jennifer! Thank you
Dan I have the same mower you have. One question when you set it to mulch that door is suppose to shut. When you raise the flap at the back of the mower is their any build up with grass.
Yes there sometimes is some build up. If you move the door back and forth a few times, it gets the loose clippings out of the track and lets the door seal better
Dan, I still roll like this, except I do have a nice Cub Cadet XT2 tractor style rider...
Nice!
Dan - Do you know what's really weird about all the neighborhoods you mow? There is never anyone outside. LOL! I guess it's way too hot in Georgia? Great video bud
Yeah you’re right! we got Alexa Netflix smart phones I guess nobody goes outside anymore because everything is inside
Is there an attachment for your Honda HRX for striped lawns, or some other method of achieving stripes?
I honestly don’t know cause stripes isn’t my thing. I cut lower than stripes allow.
How does the Honda mulch my Troy bi
Bilt sucks at mulching and leaves clumps even when grass isn’t long
I have an entire playlist of this Honda crushing it. It does a great job
I wonder why are stander mowers in the same class and width more expensive then a sit down 0 turn mowers?
Hi Dan, long time listener, first time caller. Random question, how do you handle customers that don't clean up their dog mess regularly?
I straddle it and try not to get any on me
My side hustle looks like a full time now. I'm still pretty small, but the other guys don't know it.
That’s great but be careful not to blow your income of side hustling on looks! Stay efficient and become debt free
@@DansVlog No issues there. Everything is paid for, except for the mower I just got. But if I do things right, it should be paid off next year. Last year I asked for a enclosed trailer for Christmas... and I got it.
You are a smart cookie!
great video mate ! what do you do with the grass clippings ?
Camden Garden Solutions Thank you. I use the grass clippings to fill in the holes my dogs dig in my backyard
When you collect grass/trimmings do they just go in the trash or are there other uses?
I use them to fill holes from my dogs
Bring back the tb360 🤔
I swear it was their best mower
Is that honda rear wheel drive.? I finally got myself a system, like yours...I said to myself I'm b like dan.and weedwack along my neighbors fence....yea uh no it was brandon is not going to b like Dan he is going to do wat he wants....I oopsed and wacked his fence...luckily he wasn't home and his fence is falling apart and it was in the alley..nobdy saw or heard but me...
Lol be careful!
What is the circular concrete item on the sidewalk? It seems like it would be dangerous to a cell phone staring walker.
Yeah I was gonna ask that too? What is that hump for?
It’s a concrete form that goes around utility access points. Why it has been left in the middle of the sidewalk is beyond me
Hi Mr. Dan I have a Husqvarna 128 ld trimmer ,what straight shaft edger attachment would work best?
I used to use the edger attachments from HomeDepot. Fit right in the shaft for under 80 bux
Thanks
How sore do you feel after pushing the mower around?
That mower drags me around! I am not sore at all
I pushed a 21 all season in Texas and it sucks lol
