Such a great video! Swardman made a huge mistake firing their CEO. He was the guy behind the whole thing. They needed to keep going with development without him, it seemed to end. Your points are 100% spot on. They bend in the handlebars would drive me crazy as well as the noise. Who knows maybe they will listen.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏾 Now that you say that it makes sense! The company is lacking the drive and energy it had when I was first watching the reviews of the Swardman a couple years back (pretty sure your review was the first one I watched 😂👊🏾) I can barely get an answer for anything from their Texas location and when I do it’s very vague 😂😂😂 Thank you for stopping by! love your channel been subbed since I started CZcams 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
"Like every dime piece out there, they're gonna have some issues" 😂😂😂
This might be my favorite lawn video of the season. You didn't hold back on this one at all. I love it man. Haha
I only talk from experience 😉😂😂😂👊🏾 Thanks Jesse you the man brotha!!! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
Bro I knew this video was coming when that dude answered his door (Trevor I think) and said “nah I didn’t want a swardman” 😂 it’s like I’m watching a villain story being created
😂😂😂 I was a little taken back when he said I didn’t want a swardman so fast 😂😂😂💀💀💀🤙🏾
@@YardBrah 😂😭😭 that was hilarious. We love swardy tho
Love seeing these reel mower wars 😂😂😂 the prices are another crazy thing but when you love your lawn prices are outta the window
😂😂😂 we take our reel mowers REELy seriously 😂😂😂🤙🏾
The Electra is where it's. My rescue is coming. I think I'm going to have to reshoot it though😢
Electra is definitely something I want to test out! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Potential pro: cartridges - do more with one machine.
Yes 100% I’m sure once I get the cartridges I’ll fall even more in love with Swardy 😂😂😂🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Drinking game: take a drink everytime Brah says "STRIPE MONSTER!"
You are so funny I was about to put that in the description 😂😂😂👊🏾🤙🏾💀💀💀💀💀
@@YardBrah lawn minds think alike, and apparently.....we drink alike! 🤣🤣🤣
6:53 I'm sloshed already lol
My yard is spinning!
@@zachdailyfost4433 it's Sunday and the grass is growing....I'm drinking sorry to whom is concerned but thats the way it is! 😎
I was so close to getting the Swardman. Once I saw RK use his I was amazed, but ended up going with the Allett Kensington 20. After all the issues I had with my battery powered EGO, I wasn’t about to throw thousands of dollars into another plastic machine. I’m holding onto my gas powered mowers till the end!!
Aye!!!! Yeah that allett Kensington looks like it’s a better machine than the Stirling to be honest 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏾
Hmm the question I was just asking myself, good timing!
Aye! Nice! What’s tue verdict? 😂😂😂🤙🏾
The Allett Stirling 51 is my grail of grails.
I want the 10 blade and all the cartridges.
Only have heard negative things about the allett from 3 Stirling owners… my next is JD or Jacobsen for sure! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah oh snapple, wonder what the negatives were. I look forward to your reviews when you get the JD or Jacobsen.
Ive been lucky and have had almost zero issues. Basic maintenance with belts and oil changes. Yes it does rattle but overall ive been very happy, i have the grooved roller and zero issues also. Down the road i may upgrade to a bigger Allet
Nice I mean I can’t complain I own a swardman but I can complain about the headaches it give me 😂😂😂🤙🏾👊🏾🔥🙏🏾
@@YardBrah ive noticed the quality control is hit or miss on alot of the units. I got mine 2 years ago when Reel Rollers was still the seller. Not sure if that matters or not. Im waiting to see what those guys got in store in terms of their mower.
You definitely have a passion for lawn care, I'm embarrassed to say I have a Ryobi 40 volt $320 , but I'm thinking about getting a fiskars for my tall fescue.
Don’t be embarrassed it’s a mower! Fiskars is a great choice to start!!! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Can you do a review on your Hudson? Thinking of getting one.
Coming up just need a couple more mows and I should have the crap talking ready about the Hudson 😂😂😂🤙🏾👊🏾
😂..Thanks..been watching for a while you Crack me up!
Brah, like you said before, the swardman for the price, nah!
I’ll take the used 🇺🇸 made residential cali, McLane, or Tru-cut.
Swardman definitely gets the “Ferrari” look sitting in the driveway. But other than the rock incident, I haven’t had to make any adjustments, yet,this season
Release beast and Godzilla!
Let’s have a solo shoot-out on the K31. 5 blade vs 6 Blade
🤙🏻👍🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🔥
You know we love our vintage!!! Yeah these expensive reel mowers are really just to flex on your neighbors 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Man, with all of the work to just keep the thing running I think you talked me out of the Swardman. I have one in the cart but that price tag is STEEEEEEEP. Now I'm thinking maybe a Hudson as my lawn isn't THAT big or maybe a Cali Trimmer.
Can't wait for EGO to release their reel mowers! Gonna be a game changer. No one will be able to compete.
Get the Hudson Star
Hudson Star is a gem of a mower!!!! Cali trimmer is great too but doesn’t cut as low as the Hudson!!! Hudson max height of cut is 3/4” but they have extender blocks so you can cut higher! Swardman is the I have $4500 laying around why not … Hudson is a lifetime mower for sure 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
Need to trade that baby in for a McLane 25 inch. Easiest reel mower to work on.
I’m never gonna get rid of Swardy but yes I would like a 25” McLane it’s on the list 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
I’m not sure what I would have to be earning to pay that much for a lawn mower but I am surprised at the comments about the Kawasaki engine. I’m saving my money for the new Cobra cylinder that’s just come out.
The Cobra 😩😩😩😩😩 wish we had 1/4 of the UK mowers here in the US 😂👊🏾🤙🏾
Bro, love the fact you have short and tall grass combo. Channel fire man.🔥 I would send u some money but I have 3 hungry kids 😂
😂😂😂👊🏾 spend the money on your lawn my dude!!! 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I like having the different HOC keeps it fun like a buffet 😂🤙🏾
This is why i love u bro...very geniune. Next should be the hudson star...please....its going to help us in determining what to get
Hudson coming soon my friend! Thank you for the support!!! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Use the 6 blade on the back back.
Yeah for sure!!! I just paper checked and didn’t want to paper check again 💀💀💀😂😂😂🤙🏾
So what ur telling me is get the Allett Sterling!? 😂😂😂
Absolutely not 😂😂😂 get a John Deere or Jacobsen that’s my next one Brotha 😂🤙🏾
An honest review. Finally.
😂😂😂😂 most CZcamsrs are scared to say shit about companies like they are gonna make a million off the sponsor 😂😂😂 if the product is shit you’re gonna hear it from me for sure I don’t BS and I’m not scared 99% of the world doesn’t know these mower companies let a lone the overpriced ones 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Can we talk that you need a Toro Sportlawn low cut, side wheel drive 50's Cadillac Beast....!
It has a massive bedknife you can sharpen with a file held sideways.
Remove the wooden real roller and have one turned from brass or copper and no other mower will stripe like it.
Do not touch reel to bedknife if you have had coffee, herbal tea then adjust....
Total mind of it's own and takes a firm hand to keep on line.
Get the 21inch.
I’m gonna look for one! There are a couple here but I’m holding off for the vintage toro greensmaster it kinda looks like a swardman 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah They are constantly ignored and shown running in weed lawns on CZcams by people only interested in starting engine and knowing nothing about shimming the jack shaft or moving the motor to tighten the drive belt.
Like an old motorcycle in that way.
Swardman!? I'm trying to grab a new honda hrx before they run out lol. dude that k31 striped very good. I think I've made up my mind for the fall.
Lmao I picked up a Honda too
Everyone is picking up Hondas cause they are about to stop right? K31 is cool! We will see how it holds up 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
@YardBrah yeah last year for production
When you started your reel it sounded like you have a nasty little Burr on your bed knife.
If you're blades seem a little dull try purchasing a new bed knife it will freshen things up.
And the price for a bed knife will not break you.!
Yeah I’m thinking new bedknife too but no burr on the reel or the knife it’s just shaking bad 😂😂😂 crazy! 😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah Hey, I think Richard is referring to the high pitch noise you hear. I have the Edwin 2.1 and when I heard you crank it that's exactly what I thought. I had the same issue when I got my machine (used). fwiw.
First! Waiting on this with my coffee
Same 😂😂😂
Aye!!! 😂😂😂🥇🤙🏾
I will ride and die with my Tru-Cut!!! It is an indestructible TANK!!! I get and excellent and I use it for grunt work like scalping in the spring. It’s a freaking Tank Beast!!
Oh man yes that’s the ultimate American tank 😂😂😂👊🏾 low key I’m afraid to put that beast on my lawn it might sink 😂😂😂 Jk 😊🤙🏾👊🏾🙏🏾
Maybe plastic washers instead of tape, but my size of yard another mclane or that manual Hudson star
It has to be thin enough to fit the cartridge still 🤦🏾♂️ 😂😂😂 shoot I really want a McLane 25” for my tiny lawn 😂😂😂👊🏾😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
As much hate as the swardman gets (from myself included 😂) the one thing I can appreciate about it is the tall handle bars.
Every reel mower I’ve had has had such short handlebars like they are made for hobbits lol
Take note reel mower companies
😂😂😂 George how tall are you bro? 6’3?!?
@@YardBrah as matter of fact, yes exactly 6'3 lol
Aye!!! I played basketball I know how tall my defenders are when I was dunking on them 😂😂😂👊🏾
@@YardBrah i dont know about that bro, i post up like an elephant in the paint 😂
Have a allett Kensington up here in Graham if you wanna do a comparison vid.
What!!! Shoot me an email! Yardbrah@gmail.com 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
5 grand it better cut the grass for me. 5 grand i would just buy the ego zero turn rider. Next mower i will probably get is one of the newer ego select cut mowers when they get the speed iq stuff done right.
😂😂😂 if my lawn was bigger that ego z6 would already be in the garage 😂🤙🏾
Thanks for the honest review. Behalve Allet do you know others stripe monsters which interchangeable cartridge ?
If I can get my hands on an Allett I would love to review it cause everyone who owns it just talks crap about it and says it’s garbage 😂😂😂👊🏾
Ok fam I’m grabbing a few bottles from Turf Titan but I need a good backpack sprayer. I’m going to buy once, cry once 😂 so what’s a good option(s) that’s battery powered?
Yes Turf Titan is a game changer use my code for a discount yardbrah10 😊👊🏾 I’ve been using Petra hd4000 for 2 years with 0 issues! Also comes with the dual nozzle tip it’s amazing! I used plumbers tape on all the ends that could leak and it’s a dream! amzn.to/3NdYmtt
My next sprayer will probably be
Flow Zone Typhoon once the Petra gives out
amzn.to/3oRY8ij
Thanks for the support my dude! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
There’s just something that doesn’t do it for me. I just feel like it’s so…dull and something is missing. I’m about to purchase an allett stirling 😂
Sarah when you get it let me know how you like it so far the 3 people who own the Stirling and I’ve talked to say they hate it 😂😂😂 I’m going for John Deere or Jacobsen next!!! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
@@YardBrah I’ll be honest, the only reason I’m going for the Allett is because it’s not gas powered. I want to avoid gas powered machines with all my might. I hate the maintenance 😂
Yo Brah, don't ya think Sun Joe could make a Reel Mower cartridge for their Dethatcher?
Oh yeah so easy! Look at their dethatcher machine you could easily even put a reel on that 😂😂😂 Give the people what we want SUNJOE! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
🤣🤣🤣 great review. You had me rolling..
😂😂😂🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Stay with the old school lawnmowers just keep ur blades sharp n carbs clean n ur all good performance over looks no need to be fancy 😂
Love me the old school! If I didn’t have a CZcams channel my guess is I would just stick to the vintage for sure! Love my 1985 Cali trimmers 😊🤙🏾
So you’re saying the electra would be a better choice out of the two?
I haven’t experienced the Electra yet so I can’t speak on it… same company hoping the no engine will make it less shakey 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah I have the Electra 55. It lacks many of the problems you listed: it doesn’t shake and the self propell is smooth as butter.
The only problem I have with the Electra is that it struggles on my thick Zoysia in Florida. It will sometimes overheat and shut down. I love the Electra though, whisper quiet; I can mow at 6am.
How’s the Cali Trimmer measure up to these? Is it worth the purchase?
Cali is a great mower for sure. Cuts nice at 1” super sturdy… and It’s 1/4 cheaper too 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah Hey, thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer! 🤙🏼
Im probably in the minority but the swardman just doesnt do it for me. Id take the Allett Stirling all day long!
Funny everyone says that that doesn’t own it but people who own it are finding ways to dump it 😂😂😂 talked to 3 owners of the Stirling and they all hate it… talked to multiple swardman owners and they all hate it … next one is John Deere or Jacobsen cause these residential mowers are just not it 😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah lol, ima stick with my McClane! Its paid for! Hahaha and starts first pull every time!
@Yardbrah Would you buy a swordsman gain?
I want the Electra and I want the 45 next time 55 is amazing just too big for my lawn 😂🤙🏾
Good honest review but sex & strip monster doesn't justify all the problems you identified. High maintenance 5K machine with lots of downfalls. This is a NO BUY . The only reel mower to go with is Hudson Star and you have one and love it.
100% agree if I didn’t have a CZcams channel I would get rid of the swardman but it’s nice to have around 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Late
😂😂😂🤙🏾🐐🐐🐐
That chest rig tho……
Utility vest! Has two holders on the inside for protection 😂😂😂🤙🏾
FIRST
😂😂😂🤙🏾🥇
Yardbruh you need a greensMower not that piece of toy Swardsman 😂
My JD 220a is probably 25yrs old and cuts like a dime piece.
Oh yeah brotha next is Jacobsen or JD for sure!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
No, no, just no! Get a Toro.
Plastic internals; hard pass. Thanks for a nice review!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that!!! $4500 set up for plastic internals on the rear roller 😳 at least give us an aluminum if your trying to save cost 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah One of the other reviewers a few years ago (I forget which one) had a sprocket break. He then had to wait forever for replacement parts. I was once leaning toward the Swardman because I thought the cartridges would be easier to maintain, but the potential mechanical problems killed that idea and I ended up buying a used GM. So far so good, but I do wonder what I'm going to do when I need a new reel.
SWARD. SWARDMAN.
Swordman? 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Swardman, Lamborghinis of mowers? Lol hard pass. Toro or JD without a doubt.
Yeah next on the list is Jacobsen or John Deere!!! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Allett is better.
I heard allett is more of a piece than swardman is 😂😂😂😂 3 people who own allett have confirmed it’s rubbish … time for a big boy mower Jacobsen, John Deere, or toro greens master 😊🤙🏾
checkout the Allett Stirling 43 just ordered mine
I think I’m gonna skip the Allett and go straight Jacobsen or JD next! Let me know how you like it though! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥👊🏾
I'm not paying $5k for all those known defects that's going to keep happening sorry
Swordsman's don't cost 5000 some dollars. You must be thinking of the new Allett electric reel.

Great honest review my dude. If I was to do it all over again, Kate would be my first choice. Can you find a better couple 🤫🤔🤣🤣🤣👍🏻💚🦸🏻♂
Striperman I’m starting to think you need to take wifey on a date so you can get your own Kate and stop calling mine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤙🏾💀💀💀🐐🐐🐐🐐
@@YardBrah Hahahahahah. I am thinking of dropping her. She is too expensive. Kate that is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
