A grown man watching other grown men mowing grass: I've achieved ultimate dad mode. All kidding aside, as a first-time viewer on your channel I must say, this is some great content!
Haha...and thanks for watching this video right after you finished up that homework 💯. You could be hangin with your friends, but instead here you are hangin out in Mowssouri 😎 👍
I would keep moving. What are they gonna do to you? They are probably scared that you will kick them out of the house. As long as you don't bother them, they won't bother you. But ultimately, yes, trust your gut. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
Yea. I just kept moving. When you’re on something ppl do things and don’t even know it. No need to make some drugged out person mad because you can’t predict what they will do. They act irrationally. It’s pretty rough here in this particular area. I didn’t need for it to get worse. Appreciate you watching. 👍
What are they gonna do to you? Kill you. When you are on a mower, it obliterates your hearing and changes your focus. You are really liberal with your instruction on someone else's safe.
@@susieharman2539 not really. He just wants the property to b secure b4 he finishes. Ppl can act crazy, especially on drugs like meth and ppl who do that stuff have killed off most of their brain so they could do something violent or crazy without much thought if they feel like they are gonna lose their only home.
I think you handled it correctly, including notifying the owner right away. I'm surprised the neighbors have not already called police. I think a call to the police from you would have been good too.
Thanks for watching! So another neighbor called the police, but they wouldn’t do anything without the owner’s permission. I didn’t want to get involved without speaking to the owner first.
Maybe I missed you but have not seen updated videos w the Ventrac. Your mower has the power to knock down many neglected lots and help neighborhoods. Be safe and well.
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out the latest videos. I’ve knocked down some really TALL GRASS with the Ventrac! Also, be sure to check out Part 2 of this video when you get a chance.
I used to maintain bank foreclosures. I've seen my fair share of vandalism and broken into houses as well as squatters. They are likely more scared of you than you are them. It's good to be cautious and do whatever makes you feel safe.
Oh man I bet you've seen it all. I don't mind the homeless, but when these ppl are on something you never know what they'll do. So unpredictable. They don't even know what they're doing half the time. Thanks a lot for checking out the video. Appreciate the comment as well. 💯
Likewise. I should have started a channel back then to document some of the crazy things I came across. I just stopped servicing a bad area in town where landlords learned the hard way of the bed to protect their property. Have you ever seen a 2x2 metal cage around the AC unit? I have on numerous occasions. Just to keep people from harvesting scrap. The world is....a different place from when I was a kid Y'all be safe
Yeah, this area used to be a good neighborhood and safe. I wouldn’t let my kids roam around out here now. All the drugs that have entered the area has really made things unsafe. So much crime in these areas now. I would be surprised if the AC unit is still there.
Never have i saw such an incredible mowing machine and with several different attachments. I would love to have one of these machines. Its kind of pricey but it would pay for itself in a years time where i live. So many people with land that pay people to bushog and this cuts way better. So I'm very impressed with this beast and love you videos. Ill stay tuned to the next one. Be safe out there ❤❤❤
Thanks for the continued support. I really do appreciate it. You're right, these machines will pay for themselves in no time. Pretty amazing. Thanks again for watching.
You made the wise decision with excellent advice! I've mowed several abandoned yards on my street but kept a watchful eye while working. The houses weren't as huge!
I think a call to the police would have been a great idea. Let them know vagrants and/or druggies are using that place for whatever reason. But that's just me.
Yes sir. The neighbors called the police, but they wouldn’t do much because they didn’t own the house. I just passed the info along to the homeowner, so she was able to get in touch with the police. Hopefully she will get the property security soon. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. 👍
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri In years past I used to have a cleaning service and I went thru to clean up the mess from the construction crews after they repaired or replaced things broken by the former tenants. I didn't have to deal with anyone who was homeless. I hope this woman gets the house secured and keep out the druggies. Yikes.
In our state they call it a welfare check. Police go and make sure all ok. Feel bad for the neighbor, he may be placing his family in danger by chasing them off. He too, should call police, let them know it's becoming a problem.
Absolutely. Something needs to be done. Hopefully the owner will secure the location bc the police won’t do much since it’s been abandoned for 2 years.
Hopefully neighbors will be able to spot ppl coming in and out of the house easier now. I feel bad for the neighbors having to put up with this mess. 😢
As a 60 year old Christian Minister who became homeless for 7 years I learned some very valuable life lessons. Homeless people are no different than rich people. Some bad/some good. Same with police. Asking The Lord what to do is crucial. Informing the homeowner immediately...absolutely. When I was homeless living in my truck some homeless stole almost everything in it several times. I think you did the right thing. I am still unemployed, but working on CDL schooling now. When I am able I will attempt to hire people in need and help them with clothing, healthy foods/vitamins/minerals/supplements to give them that hand up. I will mow & clear junk, paint, etc. to keep them from getting fined by city which burdens them even more. God bless you brother.
There’s a couple of guys that I know who are homeless. I’ve gotten to know them over the years. Tried to help them out so many times, but I can’t make them go to work every day. Unfortunately they choose to be homeless. Just yesterday one of the guys that I know came up to me and asked for money. No telling when the last time he had something good to eat. It’s sad because you want to help, but you can only do so much. Ultimately they have to decide for themselves that they will make different choices in order to get out of the cycle. That’s great of you to lend a hand and help out any way you can. I only wish they would take it one step further and help themselves. This guy that I saw yesterday has been homeless for probably the past 3-4 years that I know of anyway. Really nice guy, but faces challenges daily because of the choices he continues to make. I told him I would help out if he went in subway and got something to eat. Hopefully that made his day. 🙏. Appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel. I’m praying in the name of Jesus that a job opens up and you’re able to help those in need by serving others as God provides for you. Thanks again for watching. That job is right around the corner. HE has a great plan for you in 2022. Keep me updated when you get that CDL and do what God is calling you to do. #GodProvides☝️
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri something else came to mind... I keep hearing about people that were helped up out of their situation with a vehicle and some equipment. I am 60 years old I do not drink alcohol, do drugs, smoke cigarettes, or any such thing. I tell people you don't have to do those things anymore if you would let Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. Even though all these years I have served the Lord Jesus and now I am trying to do more than ever people are so burnt by other people that won't they tell me because of this situation or that situation with that kind of a person I stopped helping people. Another thing is they barely will give I'm talking about those that have plenty of money they could really help with a better vehicle and better equipment to get somebody that really intends to do right going. This is why I decided to try for this truck driving school and just go ahead and do it myself since I haven't found any brother or sister that will help me. I see both sides of the coin there are those that barely give thinking they're such a blessing but they're really afraid to give more than they think they can afford which is not faith. The other side of the coin is the guy that takes advantage of everything learning to scam people from spending time in prison with other scammers and learning all the tricks of their trade and that burns the bridge for some people to give.
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I have much more to say but there are a lot of people replying so for now I will just say if someone ever did help me out with a truck and some equipment I would seek to pay them back and I know a good-hearted person would not ask for anything back and someone else would help them. I was raised by a world War II Army Dad and Grandparents born in the 1800s I have a different outlook.
Oh wow. Homeless don't care. And I bet the neighbors were happy to see you. Great job man. Watching your videos just amazes me with the transformations.
The neighbors were glad to see me knock it down! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the vid! This machine is unbelievable at what it can knock down. More vids coming soon... 👍
I did a similar thing, I walked away from a regular client due to being threatened by her neighbour, you have to think of your safety and your equipment as it's not worth the risk...
I've had a similar situation as well. The neighbor was mentally ill and didn't like my customer. Every time I would go over to service the property it was an ordeal. Finally told the customer that I would continue to mow the property unless it became a huge problem. I ignored the neighbor and wouldn't shut off my equipment. Finally she left me alone lol. But you are right on. Thanks a lot for watching! 👍
The lawn restoration is amazing. The monster mower is awesome. The tall bushes was one of the reasons why the homeless people dared to moved in. It was hiding the foot traffic. I hope the homeowner can reclaim her property, but it will be a challenge, long distance wise. I agree with you. "Keep moving! Nothing to see here!" This is my first time watching your channel.
Thank you for watching the channel! I’m with you on this one - tall grass hid the area around the house. Hopefully she will figure out a way to secure the location. If she doesn’t do something quickly, she may be in trouble...
One thing I love about my town. If a house is abandoned or the yard hadn't been up kept the town will step in and start mowing the yard. Then they will put a lien on the property take it over and sell it and give the new owners so much time to get the property up to code. I think that's better than someone just leaving it to rot down. The town don't do this to the elderly people. They can sign up to have help with upkeep of the yard.
That’s a good idea. Here they send a notice (which she received) and have 10 days to clean up the property. If they don’t clean it up, they receive a hefty fine. If the fine isn’t paid they could potentially put a lien on the house. Always seems like ppl that don’t take care of their property always are troublesome to work with - like in this case...
I would keep mowing and trim the growth around the house. Make it look like someone is moving in. Just doing what you did might scare off the trespassers.
Yeah, that’s what I want to do! Hopefully she will let me trim the growth around the house so you can actually see if there’s anyone hiding in there. May have given me an idea for the next video?!
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I agree... I’ll be there for that video too. Hopefully, you can recommend someone to Secure the house for her once the police have arrested these people and charged them for breaking and entry. Good Luck, let us know how it comes out. I’m interested how this story plays out.
When you start working with ppl that don’t take care of their property, you tend to notice things. Like they want the house secure and fixed up, but don’t want to pay to have it done. Or pay to have it mowed. Or pay to have it cleaned up lol. They are just really hard to work with. They let it go for so long that it takes a lot of time/money to get it where it needs to be. Basically a lot of these types of customers want a lot done but for free lol. Hopefully they will pay to get someone to board it up though. Stay tuned!!!!
Yes sir! Thankfully I was able to get in and out without no altercations. I did pass on the info to the homeowner. Hopefully something is done quickly. 🙏 Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 💯
We had a ventrac just like that for mowing on the golf course I worked at (new superintendent wanted to start mowing some new areas). I took that sucker through some grass that was a solid 4 feet taller than myself and it had no issue. It even took down some small trees. Ours was a belt hog tho, it went through 4 belts that summer.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing. So far I haven’t burned any belts up. There may have been a pulley that was out of alignment or something. That would have been fun to watch you eat through grass that TALL! Thanks for watching. 👍
That was an amazing mow. It's nice that you finished the job. Perhaps you should have called the police for a safety concern. If someone is destroying the home while the owner is NOT here... I just think it would be a good plan. Anyway keep up the good work. Thanks for being conscientious of your workers and yourself.😵💞✌🏡💒🇺🇸🌺🌹📹
Thank you! I ended up calling the Homeowner and passed on the info. The neighbor had already called the police, but they couldn't do much without the Homeowner's permission. The owner ended up calling the police about the activity. Appreciate you checking out the channel and watching the vid! 👍
Hello Flossie Ruggles, as you can see I'm Janet Ruggles. My people are from Northern Oklahoma, around Miami, and started in Bluejack. I live in San Diego now, and am 68 going on 21! 🙂👍👋👋
That is a big beast of a lawnmower I have ever seen in my life time . I just saw your mowing for the first time. God bless you foe doing a super great 👍. You are blessed 😇 work I will watch moor of your work. Keep safe.
God Bless you! I have been searching for this mower for 2 years basically for mowing berms and slopes. Ended up with a brand new John Deere 1550 (it’s a beauty). Slopes will be mowed with a billy goat and JD brush deck
Excellent use of the sandwich technique by the neighbour in his conversation with you. I would never have been able to continue mowing with my back to the house when I realised the door was open when it shouldn't have been.
Haha I hear ya! I thought I was looking out for myself and being aware of my surroundings, but he slipped in on me and I had no clue he was around. Thankfully he was just trying to help out. But the squatters may not have been so easy to deal with...had one of them snuck over on me. Thanks for watching!
I loved it when that machine came out of the truck it was so funny to see the size of it in England it wouldn't even fit in most of our gardens let alone cut it😂😂😂you guy in America don't realise how lucky you are with the size plots of land you have very jealous but keep up the good work. 👍
Haha yessss! I just needed some music and a fog machine when the Ventrac made its way out of the truck. Hey, that’s a great idea for a future video 🤔 lol. Very thankful for where we live and the open space we have here. I couldn’t imagine living in such tight quarters like some of the bigger cities. I’ll have to show you some of the countryside where we live someday. We have acres and acres of woods and farmland here. Thanks for taking the time to watch. I appreciate it. 👍
God provided us all with gut instinct. 😉 No job is worth your life. I walked out of a rich lady's vacation home I was supposed to clean when I discovered someone was living in the basement. That job paid $400 for a day's work. Turns out it was her indigent brother. Turns out he was an addict. Turns out I never went back.🥴
Absolutely! Great decision as well. You just never know what will happen when dealing with those types of ppl. Appreciate you checking out the video! Have a great day! 👍
I do an abandoned house 2 times a year and last year the neighbor came over and told me the same thing. I carry concealed so it wasn’t a big deal for me. I finished just like nothing was going on. But I had seen the door kicked in and stuff strung out when I first got there so I was on alert anyways.
Yeah, a little more calming when you’re packing. But you just never know what will happen In these situations. Glad you were able to get in and out with no issues.
I'd brought whole crew and clean up everything. Then sent the bill to her. Definitely would have called the law after seeing door open. Law probably tired of neighbor calling them for that property. It amazing how many people own property that live out of state and can careless about the people that have to live next to a dump like that one.
Exactly right. And on top of that, they try to make it out to be your problem. It’s not my property. Or the neighbors property. But we are the ones that get stuck with the headache by servicing the property or living next to it. Meanwhile it’s out of sight out of mind for the owner. 🤦♂️. Appreciate you watching the video! 👍
That was going to be a new jungle survival training area??!? But seriously you did the right thing.That situation is next level from worrying about snakes or metal debris in tall grass. Be safe!
Does the county have code enforcement? If I reported an abandoned property with activity in it, the county would get involved, and bill the owner or lein the property. Overgrowth like that invites rodents into the area, along with the food chain that feeds on vermin. Some counties don't have the resources to be aggressive about it. In the end, the property owners need to step up. This sort of thing happens a lot with foreign investors. Sad.
Yeah, the owner received a warning for the tall grass. If nothing is done then they get a ticket. Then if the ticket isn’t paid within so many days, they can put a lien on the houSe...
It's unnerving how long someone can stand near by without being noticed. Trust your gut. If you feel uneasy there's a reason! Having said that, that's a machine! 😆
I know right! I was focused on not hitting anything under that tall grass. Little did I know someone was behind me watching 👀. You’re definitely right. Always go with your gut! Haha...yessss! That’s a machine!!! 💪
I would have called the police and have them go inside. Like you said you want to be safe. Because the neighbors chasing them out. The police needs to be call so they can watch for people . Especially if they're drug addicts. That's what brings down the neighborhood. It's not the homeless who cause problem. The homeless will leave. The squatters and drug addicts won't.
Absolutely! I passed on the info to the homeowner and told her she needed to contact the police. The neighbor tried to get the police to come out, but they wouldn't do much without the homeowner's permission. Hopefully she'll get everything secured before it's too late and squatters take over the house. Thanks a lot for checking out the video! 👍
Yikes, hope they're not cooking meth in there! Middle of the day just working outside like that you were probably safe, but glad you got in touch with the homeowner. And yeah, that mower is something else!
I did contact the owner and they were supposed to get in touch with the police. Be sure to check out part two of the video when you get a chance. Thanks for watching!
I’m with you man. Too sketchy for a lawn guy. I just wanna knock down tall grass not watch over my shoulder and wonder who’s coming out of door number 1...
I once owned a llandscape maintenance business in Greensboro, North Carolina for 18 years. I have ran into similar situations such as this. It was me, my dad, and a two workers. In our case, we contacted the homeowner, who then callted the local police department. The police came out, ran off the "squatters", and then stood guard at our vehicle as we finished mowing the yard.
Ohhhh yeah! Thanks for watching the transformation! 😎. Be sure to check out Part 2 when you get a chance. 💯. The Ventrac is unbelievable on the hills! It’s like a 🐐
Absolutely. The neighbor informed me that they tried getting the police out there and they wouldn’t so much without the owner’s permission. So I was able to get in touch with the owner and recommended that she call the PD. Appreciate you watching! 👍
The owner should call the cops and tell them what's going on and ask them to do a walk through in that house. Better yet send in the dogs that will get their attention. If it has become a know drug house that's bad for everybody around that house. You did the correct thing for sure. I feel sorry for the neighbors but also proud of that guy you talked to...sure hope he's packing when he confronts anybody coming or going from that abandoned house. GREAT JOB on that Ventrac one awesome machine.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. It definitely was a sketchy situation, but I’m really thankful that the neighbor informed me of what was going on. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. I haven’t been back since lol.
It all about personal prefference! you chose what you felt was best! anyone wanting to judge you or question you wasn't in your shoes at that time! cute little mower , I work on a farm an drive a JD8850 great fun with plow on behind!
That’s right. You never know until you are in someone else’s shoes. That’s cool! We have that same tractor on our farm. We have 2 other JD tractors and the rest are CASE. Thanks for taking the time to check out the Ventrac! 👍
Wow, that's a beast of a machine. If you finish hitting the high spots, it would expose squatters. Here in Florida squatters can claim the deed to abandon homes. Thanks for trying to help a friend
Same here in Mowssouri. It’s really hard to get squatters out of a home once they’ve taken it over. They have more rights than the actual owner. It’s crazy. Thanks for watching “the machine” in action!
Yes keep mowing there going to be watching you see what your going to do probably get out of there when your done plus it cleans it up so hopefully they don’t come back those types of people don’t want any trouble
Me I would probably make sure to some extent there was noone in that basement. I'd yell in there "This door is being sealed shut so if anyone's in here come out now". I'd get a lock and a couple of 2x4's and seal the door shut to where noone is getting there. Not only would it help the homeowner but the neighborhood as well. Noone wants people like that in the neighborhood. Things would probably start to come up missing as the neighbor has already said that the homeowners copper piping has probably been stolen and Lord knows what else has been stolen inside that home.
I didn't want to find out what or who was in the basement lol. But the owner had the police come over and check things out after I told her the news. Definitely some sketchy stuff going on over there. Check out part 2 when you get a chance. Thanks for watching!

This is why I decided to try for this truck driving school and just go ahead and do it myself since I haven't found any brother or sister that will help me. I see both sides of the coin there are those that barely give thinking they're such a blessing but they're really afraid to give more than they think they can afford which is not faith. The other side of the coin is the guy that takes advantage of everything learning to scam people from spending time in prison with other scammers and learning all the tricks of their trade and that burns the bridge for some people to give.
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I have much more to say but there are a lot of people replying so for now I will just say if someone ever did help me out with a truck and some equipment I would seek to pay them back and I know a good-hearted person would not ask for anything back and someone else would help them. I was raised by a world War II Army Dad and Grandparents born in the 1800s I have a different outlook.
Oh wow. Homeless don't care. And I bet the neighbors were happy to see you. Great job man. Watching your videos just amazes me with the transformations.
The neighbors were glad to see me knock it down! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the vid! This machine is unbelievable at what it can knock down. More vids coming soon... 👍
I did a similar thing, I walked away from a regular client due to being threatened by her neighbour, you have to think of your safety and your equipment as it's not worth the risk...
I've had a similar situation as well. The neighbor was mentally ill and didn't like my customer. Every time I would go over to service the property it was an ordeal. Finally told the customer that I would continue to mow the property unless it became a huge problem. I ignored the neighbor and wouldn't shut off my equipment. Finally she left me alone lol. But you are right on. Thanks a lot for watching! 👍
Being threatened is a entirely different situation.
For sure. Definitely don’t want to get into that kind situation.
To all the Lawn Care men and women out their please be safe in this heat we are going through. Much love.
Thank you so much. It’s 107 with the heat index here today. 😓
I'm from Missouri I know. Please be safe
Ohhhh yeah! 👍
The lawn restoration is amazing. The monster mower is awesome. The tall bushes was one of the reasons why the homeless people dared to moved in. It was hiding the foot traffic. I hope the homeowner can reclaim her property, but it will be a challenge, long distance wise. I agree with you. "Keep moving! Nothing to see here!" This is my first time watching your channel.
Thank you for watching the channel! I’m with you on this one - tall grass hid the area around the house. Hopefully she will figure out a way to secure the location. If she doesn’t do something quickly, she may be in trouble...
As big as the house is. Wouldn't surprise me if children were in there.
Wow love before after pictures
Thanks for taking the time to watch! 👍
One thing I love about my town. If a house is abandoned or the yard hadn't been up kept the town will step in and start mowing the yard. Then they will put a lien on the property take it over and sell it and give the new owners so much time to get the property up to code. I think that's better than someone just leaving it to rot down. The town don't do this to the elderly people. They can sign up to have help with upkeep of the yard.
That’s a good idea. Here they send a notice (which she received) and have 10 days to clean up the property. If they don’t clean it up, they receive a hefty fine. If the fine isn’t paid they could potentially put a lien on the house. Always seems like ppl that don’t take care of their property always are troublesome to work with - like in this case...
As long as county doesnt falsely claim they notified owners, just to take possession. So many crooks in govermment.
I would keep mowing and trim the growth around the house. Make it look like someone is moving in.
Just doing what you did might scare off the trespassers.
Yeah, that’s what I want to do! Hopefully she will let me trim the growth around the house so you can actually see if there’s anyone hiding in there. May have given me an idea for the next video?!
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I'll be there for the next video. Fingers crossed she agrees. ☺️👍
Awesome! Yes, let’s hope so!
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri I agree... I’ll be there for that video too. Hopefully, you can recommend someone to Secure the house for her once the police have arrested these people and charged them for breaking and entry. Good Luck, let us know how it comes out. I’m interested how this story plays out.
When you start working with ppl that don’t take care of their property, you tend to notice things. Like they want the house secure and fixed up, but don’t want to pay to have it done. Or pay to have it mowed. Or pay to have it cleaned up lol. They are just really hard to work with. They let it go for so long that it takes a lot of time/money to get it where it needs to be. Basically a lot of these types of customers want a lot done but for free lol. Hopefully they will pay to get someone to board it up though. Stay tuned!!!!
Glad you kept yourself safe. Nice you have data to provide the owner about conditions.
Yes sir! Thankfully I was able to get in and out without no altercations. I did pass on the info to the homeowner. Hopefully something is done quickly. 🙏 Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 💯
New subject matter for the future. Lawn Mower Transformation horror stories.
Made a good choice. Safety first. Bless you.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
We had a ventrac just like that for mowing on the golf course I worked at (new superintendent wanted to start mowing some new areas). I took that sucker through some grass that was a solid 4 feet taller than myself and it had no issue. It even took down some small trees. Ours was a belt hog tho, it went through 4 belts that summer.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing. So far I haven’t burned any belts up. There may have been a pulley that was out of alignment or something. That would have been fun to watch you eat through grass that TALL! Thanks for watching. 👍
That was an amazing mow. It's nice that you finished the job. Perhaps you should have called the police for a safety concern. If someone is destroying the home while the owner is NOT here... I just think it would be a good plan. Anyway keep up the good work. Thanks for being conscientious of your workers and yourself.😵💞✌🏡💒🇺🇸🌺🌹📹
Thank you! I ended up calling the Homeowner and passed on the info. The neighbor had already called the police, but they couldn't do much without the Homeowner's permission. The owner ended up calling the police about the activity. Appreciate you checking out the channel and watching the vid! 👍
Hello Flossie Ruggles, as you can see I'm Janet Ruggles. My people are from Northern Oklahoma, around Miami, and started in Bluejack. I live in San Diego now, and am 68 going on 21! 🙂👍👋👋
Thanks for watching! 😃
You are added to my list of mowing video folks along with Juggernaut and Top Notch!
Much love from Ohio!
Awesome! Thanks for adding me to the list! Be sure to check out part two as well. Appreciate the support OHIO! 👍
That is a big beast of a lawnmower I have ever seen in my life time . I just saw your mowing for the first time. God bless you foe doing a super great 👍. You are blessed 😇 work I will watch moor of your work. Keep safe.
Thank you so much for the support! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos. 👍
I agree with you getting out of there! God does provide! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
Thanks for watching! That place is too shady for me lol. Be sure to check out Part 2 when you get a chance!
Ventrac is awesome. We have the old Steiner which is just an old version of Ventrac.
Nice! I have a buddy that has a couple of 450’s. He loves them.
God Bless you! I have been searching for this mower for 2 years basically for mowing berms and slopes. Ended up with a brand new John Deere 1550 (it’s a beauty). Slopes will be mowed with a billy goat and JD brush deck
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy your new setup. Will you be tackling your own property? Or running it in your business?!
Excellent use of the sandwich technique by the neighbour in his conversation with you. I would never have been able to continue mowing with my back to the house when I realised the door was open when it shouldn't have been.
Haha I hear ya! I thought I was looking out for myself and being aware of my surroundings, but he slipped in on me and I had no clue he was around. Thankfully he was just trying to help out. But the squatters may not have been so easy to deal with...had one of them snuck over on me. Thanks for watching!
I loved it when that machine came out of the truck it was so funny to see the size of it in England it wouldn't even fit in most of our gardens let alone cut it😂😂😂you guy in America don't realise how lucky you are with the size plots of land you have very jealous but keep up the good work. 👍
Haha yessss! I just needed some music and a fog machine when the Ventrac made its way out of the truck. Hey, that’s a great idea for a future video 🤔 lol. Very thankful for where we live and the open space we have here. I couldn’t imagine living in such tight quarters like some of the bigger cities. I’ll have to show you some of the countryside where we live someday. We have acres and acres of woods and farmland here. Thanks for taking the time to watch. I appreciate it. 👍
Great job, amazing beast of a machine!👍✊
Thank you. Thank you. And thank you for watching! 👍
Mini bush hog ? Where's the Deere ? Great job . You are awesome. God bless your kindness always.
Thanks a lot! Appreciate you watching! 👍
Nice man. Take care and be safe
Thanks for watching!
That machine is epic. Well done.
Yesssss! Unbelievable machine. Thank you! Appreciate you watching. 👍
God provided us all with gut instinct. 😉 No job is worth your life. I walked out of a rich lady's vacation home I was supposed to clean when I discovered someone was living in the basement.
That job paid $400 for a day's work.
Turns out it was her indigent brother.
Turns out he was an addict.
Turns out I never went back.🥴
Absolutely! Great decision as well. You just never know what will happen when dealing with those types of ppl. Appreciate you checking out the video! Have a great day! 👍
WOW! I'm speechless! just amazing! better then watching a movie, lol,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍✌️
Haha yes! Thanks for watching! It really is an amazing machine. 💯
Hello from Missouri. Looks great 👍
Stay safe.
👋 Thanks so much!
Great job 👍
Thank you! Appreciate the support! 👍
I do an abandoned house 2 times a year and last year the neighbor came over and told me the same thing. I carry concealed so it wasn’t a big deal for me. I finished just like nothing was going on. But I had seen the door kicked in and stuff strung out when I first got there so I was on alert anyways.
Yeah, a little more calming when you’re packing. But you just never know what will happen In these situations. Glad you were able to get in and out with no issues.
👍👍😁 Love watching your videos!!!
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍
You have a good heart.
Thank you 🙏
I'd brought whole crew and clean up everything. Then sent the bill to her.
Definitely would have called the law after seeing door open.
Law probably tired of neighbor calling them for that property.
It amazing how many people own property that live out of state and can careless about the people that have to live next to a dump like that one.
Exactly right. And on top of that, they try to make it out to be your problem. It’s not my property. Or the neighbors property. But we are the ones that get stuck with the headache by servicing the property or living next to it. Meanwhile it’s out of sight out of mind for the owner. 🤦♂️. Appreciate you watching the video! 👍
That was going to be a new jungle survival training area??!?
But seriously you did the right thing.That situation is next level from worrying about snakes or metal debris in tall grass. Be safe!
Haha. They about left me for survival. Thankfully everyone survived to tell about it! #VentracLifeInMowssouri
I AM GLAD YOU GOT OUT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WERE IN THERE AWESOME VIDEO
You got that right! Exactly why I wanted out of there lol. Thanks for watching! 👍
Yep I totally agree with you.
You see where I’m coming from! 💯 Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. 👍
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri no problem your awesome!!
Thanks for that! 💯 😃
Crocodile Dundee: Now THAT's a Mower
HAHA YESSSSS! Oh that’s no mower. This here is a mower! 😳 😂
Does the county have code enforcement? If I reported an abandoned property with activity in it, the county would get involved, and bill the owner or lein the property. Overgrowth like that invites rodents into the area, along with the food chain that feeds on vermin. Some counties don't have the resources to be aggressive about it. In the end, the property owners need to step up. This sort of thing happens a lot with foreign investors. Sad.
Yeah, the owner received a warning for the tall grass. If nothing is done then they get a ticket. Then if the ticket isn’t paid within so many days, they can put a lien on the houSe...
Great job !
Thank you!!!! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! 👍👍👍
That Ventrac is such a beast
Ohhhhhhh yeah! Unbelievable what this thing will do! Be sure to check out the other vids. 👍
It's unnerving how long someone can stand near by without being noticed. Trust your gut. If you feel uneasy there's a reason!
Having said that, that's a machine! 😆
I know right! I was focused on not hitting anything under that tall grass. Little did I know someone was behind me watching 👀. You’re definitely right. Always go with your gut! Haha...yessss! That’s a machine!!! 💪
@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri Get yourself some mirrors on the big ole' tractor. 😂
Lol that’s a good idea! Or a backup camera 😂. Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 👍
You don't need no camera just mirrors
That’s a good idea! 🪞
I would have called the police and have them go inside. Like you said you want to be safe. Because the neighbors chasing them out. The police needs to be call so they can watch for people . Especially if they're drug addicts. That's what brings down the neighborhood. It's not the homeless who cause problem. The homeless will leave. The squatters and drug addicts won't.
Absolutely! I passed on the info to the homeowner and told her she needed to contact the police. The neighbor tried to get the police to come out, but they wouldn't do much without the homeowner's permission. Hopefully she'll get everything secured before it's too late and squatters take over the house. Thanks a lot for checking out the video! 👍
I think better to do your great job helping people to make their neat & clean I know your such a honest guy
Thank you for checking out the video. Be sure to check out part 2. 👍
Pretty bad when I use mowing channels to fall asleep to haha I always listen to what y’all talk about then the mowing begins lol
Hahaha that’s funny. 😂. Thanks for watching! Next video I’m going to put an alarm on it so you’ll wake up if you dose off lol.
2:19 Mowing starts here!
Thanks! 👍
Yikes, hope they're not cooking meth in there! Middle of the day just working outside like that you were probably safe, but glad you got in touch with the homeowner. And yeah, that mower is something else!
My thoughts exactly. Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! 👍
Awesome job
Thank you! Appreciate you watching. 👍
Good job all around!
Thank you! I appreciate it. 💯
That guy is probably the quatter as well as the copper thief….
Uh oh. 🤔. Now that puts a whole new twist on things... 😳
I was thinking the same thing
Uh oh 👀. Anyone else?!
Wow. Never thought about that. Great analogy.
Call cops...make them check it out first...
That isn't his responsibility
I did contact the owner and they were supposed to get in touch with the police. Be sure to check out part two of the video when you get a chance. Thanks for watching!
Craziness 😬congrats on 2k subs👍
Yesssss 😳 Thanks a lot! Appreciate the support! 👍
God bless you brother
Thank you for watching the video.
Sketchy man! Glad you got out of that! Too sketchy!
I’m with you man. Too sketchy for a lawn guy. I just wanna knock down tall grass not watch over my shoulder and wonder who’s coming out of door number 1...
Fear not. For if HE be with you, who can be against you?
this is the first time me watching your video.
Well thanks for watching!!!
First time seeing your video I love what you do and I subscribed to your Channel
Thank you for watching. Appreciate the support! 👍
I like that mower that a bush hog keep it up I like that
Awesome! It can tame some wild grass quickly!
Damn I love your Mowing Truck!
Haha thanks!
Be safe...take care. Nice of you to help, just be careful
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out Part 2 when you get a chance.
What a great job. Keep safe 😉.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Nice mowing that machine you have is sooo cool
Thanks a lot! I appreciate you taking the time to watch. 👍
Yes, keep yourself safe.
Absolutely. Safety first! Thanks for watching.
You did the right thing. And as you did, take allot of pictures!
I think so. Absolutely. I always take a lot of before/after pics as well as anything that is out of the norm. Thanks for watching!
I think you did the right thing. Notify the owner and get the heck out of dodge safely. Love that 4500K machine. Stay safe brother.
YES - Thank you! Sounds like you would have done the same. Appreciate you watching! The 4500K “is a machine!” 😃
Love that mower you have there sure could use one mowing the lawn grass here in South Alabama lol
Hahaha...at your house or someone else’s lawn?!
Great video
Thanks for watching! 👍😎
I once owned a llandscape maintenance business in Greensboro, North Carolina for 18 years. I have ran into similar situations such as this. It was me, my dad, and a two workers. In our case, we contacted the homeowner, who then callted the local police department. The police came out, ran off the "squatters", and then stood guard at our vehicle as we finished mowing the yard.
Props to the cops on that one. That would be solid if they would do that here in Mowssouri. 👍
Oh excellent looking parkland too.
Mowssouri’s finest
I find these transformations are fun. The Ventrac 4500K is great on hills, I dont own one, but I think it would be fun to own one! lol
Ohhhh yeah! Thanks for watching the transformation! 😎. Be sure to check out Part 2 when you get a chance. 💯. The Ventrac is unbelievable on the hills! It’s like a 🐐
No, you said it right. I feel the same way, their not the kind you can talk to or trust but you did a good thing.
Thats smart....good decision. Stay safe.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching. 👍
Wow that's a beast ......First time on your channel.... Will keep watching .......
Awesome! Glad you found the Channel. Thanks for watching. 👍. More vids coming...
You should never be afraid to contact authorities.
Absolutely. The neighbor informed me that they tried getting the police out there and they wouldn’t so much without the owner’s permission. So I was able to get in touch with the owner and recommended that she call the PD. Appreciate you watching! 👍
Crazy man......Ventrac getting it done!
Ohhhhhh yeah! And making it look easy! 💯
The owner should call the cops and tell them what's going on and ask them to do a walk through in that house. Better yet send in the dogs that will get their attention. If it has become a know drug house that's bad for everybody around that house. You did the correct thing for sure. I feel sorry for the neighbors but also proud of that guy you talked to...sure hope he's packing when he confronts anybody coming or going from that abandoned house. GREAT JOB on that Ventrac one awesome machine.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. It definitely was a sketchy situation, but I’m really thankful that the neighbor informed me of what was going on. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. I haven’t been back since lol.
Stay safe Godbless.
Thanks
Your Amazing💝💝💝
Thanks for watching!
Impressive equipment.
Ohhhh yeah. The Ventrac is a machine! 💯. Thanks for checking it out. 👍
It all about personal prefference! you chose what you felt was best! anyone wanting to judge you or question you wasn't in your shoes at that time! cute little mower , I work on a farm an drive a JD8850 great fun with plow on behind!
That’s right. You never know until you are in someone else’s shoes. That’s cool! We have that same tractor on our farm. We have 2 other JD tractors and the rest are CASE. Thanks for taking the time to check out the Ventrac! 👍
It's a great machine, my friend 👍🏾
Ohhhhhhh yeah. Thanks for watching! More vids coming soon! 👍
Good job.
Thanks!
Good job stay safe
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch. 👍
Wow, that's a beast of a machine. If you finish hitting the high spots, it would expose squatters. Here in Florida squatters can claim the deed to abandon homes. Thanks for trying to help a friend
Same here in Mowssouri. It’s really hard to get squatters out of a home once they’ve taken it over. They have more rights than the actual owner. It’s crazy. Thanks for watching “the machine” in action!
Very good 👍
Thanks!
Yes keep mowing there going to be watching you see what your going to do probably get out of there when your done plus it cleans it up so hopefully they don’t come back those types of people don’t want any trouble
That’s what I’m hoping! Now you can see the area more easily. They can’t hide behind the tall grass. Hopefully they moved on...
Thanks for watching! 👍
Dude that's a beast of a tractor!
Ohhhhh yeah! Thanks for watching! 👍
Me I would probably make sure to some extent there was noone in that basement. I'd yell in there "This door is being sealed shut so if anyone's in here come out now". I'd get a lock and a couple of 2x4's and seal the door shut to where noone is getting there. Not only would it help the homeowner but the neighborhood as well. Noone wants people like that in the neighborhood. Things would probably start to come up missing as the neighbor has already said that the homeowners copper piping has probably been stolen and Lord knows what else has been stolen inside that home.
I didn't want to find out what or who was in the basement lol. But the owner had the police come over and check things out after I told her the news. Definitely some sketchy stuff going on over there. Check out part 2 when you get a chance. Thanks for watching!
Brother, when you're working, don't worry about the small things. God has your back!
I’ll just keep Rollin with you Eddy. Let’s go!
Nice job 👌
