I love the wolf of wall street 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh man it’s on every week 😂😂😂 motivates me so much 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Awesome vid dude. Mrs and I where at the garden centre today when I noticed they sell Fiskars products. I excitedly told her “look, Fiskars!! Yardbrah uses this stuff!!”. The confusion on her face was stunning, like I’d just landed on earth for the first time 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 that is so funny 😂😂😂 she’s like who the F is yardbro? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Lumpia on a hot summer day!? Stop!!!! Freakin' hilarious bruh!!
I had already been reel mowing for the past season, but thanks to your channel, I got the Sunjoe and modded it with no wheels. I love cutting at .6” and it feels great. I love the learning process this hobby has with what works and what doesn’t. The best part of my day is when I get to get out in the yard and spend time mowing.
Yes I love it! Yeah the Sunjoe at .6 is def a pretty decent cut! Glad you did the mods it feels way more expensive than it really is 😂😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Best decision I ever made was buying a John Deere 220sl, the only thing I miss about the old trucut is the 27 inch wide cut
Oh my the John Deere 220sl is goals! 😩 it’s either that or a toro greensmaster next for me 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Its all about the Journey! Badass vid brah
For sure! Love the journey!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My Front yard is EXTREMELY Slopped & w/my Heart condition, I’m unable to handle this, so I treat it & then hired a great yard man to take care of this. Now my backyard is about 1,600 sq ft & mostly level. This is where I get to play. So far, I just have cheap push manual reel mower but I’m enjoying the work. We moved from TX to AR about three months ago & we just got the last of the contractors out of the back yard…THERE is still tons of work to do in the fall & next Spring but your videos are very informative & inspirational , in addition, your attitude is AMAZING!
Oh at least you get to mow!!! That’s awesome about the same size as my backyard 😊🤙🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. You have inspired me to mow low. Going to give it a try. Your lawn looks amazing 👍💚🦸
😂😂😂😂 striperman stop playing your lawn is low 😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Gucci!!! Great video.
Gucci!!!! 😂😂😂 🩴 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾
Loved this one, feel like we’ve been on a similar journey, manual reeled and got into a few other yardtubers, threw things down, had a good day following Pete tips and drooled watching Ryan’s yard. Followed Pete’s renovation guide last fall and gave that a try, but I feel like you and George are more my speed. This year added the Sun Joe and rotorscisors that’s how I came across your content. Must say, I’m lovin the channel and your sharing your journey just makes it so much more personal. Cheers man.
Aye thank you yes you’re def watching some epic lawn tubers! George is funny 😂😂😂 really appreciate your support my friend!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
I love the comparison to Lumpia!!!! And wash it down with a diet coke!!!!! Hahahaha
I love the channel bro!!!!
😂😂😂😂 love me some Diet Coke and lumpia 😂😂😂🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
litrally bought the Sun Joe reel mower because of you...it's the gateway drug of reel mowers...in the box now and putting it together in the morning. Hopefully it goes horribly wrong so I don't end up buying a Swardman next year. I'd still like to retire at a decent age.
😂😂😂 congrats on the Sunjoe!!!! and i look forward to seeing your Swardman next year 😂😂😂😂 Let me know how it goes brotha! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
I agree with you, it’s all about enjoying the journey 💯
Yes! No need to rush this epicness! 😂😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
You're the man! I totally am on the same page! awesome content! plus i'm an old skool breaker too! haha lol hey I want that sprayer you got. Plus did the roller mod!!!! legit no more scalping, sun joe needs to make that option 4 reeels !! haha pun intended
Aye nice 😂😂😂 yeah the Petra hd4000 is the best! Made all the difference the past couple years! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ha! I love lumpia and always good with rice and banana ketchup. You seem to know your way with electrical and mechanical work. I'd love to see you attempt to add an electric brushless motor to that Fiskars reel mower.
Aye yes! And I will have to try someday an electric fiskars would be epic!!! But for know I’ll get the cardio in running with it 😂😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
You got me at lumpia bro! Lol Born in Manila.
I think your next mower should be the allet sterling. All those cartridges would produce some great content! I’m thinking about getting one as well
Yeah def on the list my friend! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Yes. I'm hungry now!
😂😂😂 I’m hungry too 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Brah,
My ONLY regret about reel mowing, was not being introduced to it as a kid!
I personally continue to push the N all season, just so I can mow every other day. And get these USED “residential”mowers dialed in is half the fun. I’m ready to upgrade!
“Reel mow the planet!”
Haha growing up I remember using a reel and was like this is stupid we need gas 😂😂😂 yeah bro you’re def due for an upgrade you’ve mastered that Mclane time to level up cause your grass is 🔥🔥🔥😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Great point on the greens mowers you just don’t need it I have a 10 year old Allett reel mower 10 blade cutting at 1/2 inch
Aye nice! Yeah I mean if I had a green I def would invest in one but I’m cutting mostly at an inch 😂😂😂 I’ll save it for when I get some shorter grass 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
I’m a newb lol
Love trying to learn what to do. The fertilizer is what I can’t all figure out.
Comes with time look at me I just started CZcams 2 1/2 years ago and just now getting comfortable with measuring fert! Start with milorganite and ironite and water your lawn and cut every 2-3 days you’ll see a difference then level up from there 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🔥
@@YardBrah It’s just starting lawn season up here in Northern IL so just getting back into researching how to make my lawn better. I pretty much need to start over lol
I found your video the other day by someone I was watching mentioned you and now I’m addicted to your channel.
I love the energy you have ❤️❤️❤️
I'm loving the journey, I appreciate that your taking it slow
Thank you for tuning in!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
JUFRAN LMAO LOVE IT. AND WHO VUTS THERE LAWN WITH A GUCCI SHIRT LMAO OF COURSE U , lol been raining 2 werks strait I can’t even cut my grass with my new ego. Getting California fall season maybe lol sunjoe comming this summer
😂😂😂 usually I’m out and about and am too lazy to change when I get home to mow it up 😂😂😂 and damn yeah don’t risk the rain mow with the ego you never now! Sunjoe is gonna make you switch to reel mowing more than the ego 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
If only Ryobi gave us a reel mower!
Yeah I would buy it for sure!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love this vid dude I’m a noob from Aus🇦🇺
Aye thanks for tuning in!!! 😊🙏🏾🔥🤙🏾
Love the new video! Excellent channel!
Thank you!!!! 😊🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Whoa!!! white jeans brah! you be stylin!
😂😂😂 these are my favorite… makes me look like a stylish bum 😂😂😂🤙🏾
From a turf guy that’s managed pga tour agronomy. With turf degree and decades of experience you’ve been unreal with ur lawn postage stamp game bruh. Wetting agents. Fungicides. Liquid micro spoons. Water water. And. Get a soil tensiometer
Thank you my friend yes I will get one for sure thank you always for the advice! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video bud!! Love the golden hour mow!!! The Cali with the sun setting in the back!!! Damn son
You know me and golden hour 😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah 🤣🤣🤣
Are you for Reel?🤪😜. Looks great!
😂😂😂 good one!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Man your yard is looking AMAZING 👌! If I still had PRG I would for sure be reel mowing but I'm stuck with tttf. Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just tired of having the same grass as everyone in my neighborhood. Either way, your yard is a great example of a reel mowed YARD, not a golf course and that's what makes you stand out. Great content as usual. Meant to tell ya, I put out a video about my liquid stress blend. Finally found a program to edit so my videos are getting a *little* better 🤣🤣. Take care my friend 🤙
Aye yes I’m gonna watch it now!!! What height of cut are you at on the tttf? Thanks for the support always my friend 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah currently at level a on the timemaster which I believe is 4"
SLOW & steady always wins out 😊
Yessir! Love the Cali trimmer always have a fun time out there with Tank 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah thats a perfect name for the CALI
Ok you sold me on this reel mowing thingy.
Aye 😂😂😂 you’re gonna love it it’s so fun!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Omggg u got mee so hungryy
😂😂😂 I got myself hungry 😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the content. I love following guys from the Pacific Northwest. I live very close to you. The weather here can be tough for maintaining a lawn. How do you like the Sun Joe battery reel mower? I have a Earthwise 7 blade manual mower. I really like it but keeping the blade spinning can be challenging.
Thank you for tuning in! Yes the Sunjoe is amazing you would love it!!! 🙌🏾😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We don’t have lumpur and banana ketchup in Canada 🇨🇦 😂
Reel reel reels
All day long! 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Great talk. I like you, Brah!!! Salt of the earth type of brah!!!!
Thank you I really appreciate that😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🤙🏾
LOVE LUMPIA. The leveling is the thing that will hold me back. My lawn is stupid bumpy and leveling it will be very expensive. I may start working one area at a time. So you are not using PGR?
Yes I’m telling you I wanna see your gorgeous lawn cut low… I mean I watch all your videos…sometimes twice even but I would be watching them 5 times if you were reel mowing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it is a big property and would be expensive shoot my little 3000 sq ft is kinda pricey to level I already priced it out for the fall reno 🤑🤑🤑🤑😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
And right now since I overseeded no pgr at the moment I might apply some next week ok the sidewalk strips during a mollycoddling mix 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Haven’t had lumpia in a while.
Uh I have it every week almost 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m gaining so much weight 😂😂😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
@@YardBrah I think there is Filipino weekend coming up around here soon. Might jus have to go.
Next Mower Allett Kensington 20"H
Good ol allett def on the list 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
You asked about seed options. Have you considered Scott’s ProVista KBG? It is glyphosate tolerant so EASY EASY weed control. I personally don’t know anything about it but if didn’t live in the heat of Hell (San Antonio, TX) I would do this if I could maintain under an inch.
I just check it out it says it’s turf installation and apparently Scott’s kbg is all glyphosate tolerant😂 gonna have a hard time killing all this kbg in the fall 😂😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
To be honest bro, I don’t want to reel mow I like mowing with my ego equipment. This dog keeps using the bathroom on my lawn and it’s killing it. What products should I use? Your awesome and stay safe
Yeah I love my ego stuff too I mean I was using rotary for 2 seasons you know 😂 love me some ego! As for the dog urine you just gotta water the salt out and I heard humic acid helps with the nastiness of the urine and evens out the chemical balance give it a try! 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Brah love your videos and following foot steps with sun joe to cali trimmer. What edger do you recommend for someone with only one functional hand?
That is awesome! Thank for the support and man you gotta get the worx gt revolution super light weight and it will be accurate for you I've been using it for 3 seasons now! amzn.to/3aCG9Fp 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
nice video man! I bought a Timemaster 4 years ago and love it. I am doing a full KBG reno in my front yard this season and want to reel mow but they seem very expensive and a ton of machine maintenance. What do you think? I see the SunJoe is cheaper but some of these beast brands are in the thousands.
Sun joe is def a good starter reel mower! After training with the Sunjoe then getting a brand new Cali trimmer it felt amazing! That leveling up is the way to go… next for me will be toro greensmaster or John Deere level up from the Cali trimmer 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah damn now I’m thinking what to do. My backyard is still mowed high so I can’t sell the timemaster to grab that cali mower 🤣🤣
Put a front roller on the Fiskars and Sunjoe it makes a difference.
Yes that’s the next project for sure!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾😊
yessir he has front roller on sunjoe but front roller on fiskars makes huge difference because those tiny wheels suck
Check out the scot green aerater would make some good videos!
Lol don’t you think it would be bumpy and then give you an uneven cut? 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah sr you have a good point lol 😆
Awesome content dude! I'm on the same path, leveling up little by little. gas to Ego mower, manual reel mowers and electric reel mower (Allett). It's fun to learn lawn care :)
While you are cutting your grass short, do you set Ego's HOC at #1 with the striping kit? is ego easy to turn with it?
I have the same striping kit and I haven't used it on Ego et. I tested on an old manual reel mower and it barely made clear stripes at 1 1/5" HOC.
Nice I love it! It’s hard to turn the ego on level 1 with the striping kit that’s why I took it off it’s digging in the grass every turn… the checkmate is def meant to be at level 3 or level 4 for sure 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah Ok..! thank you 👍
Bruh… I’m up in BL and have some liquid fertilizer I’d like to give you, if your interested.. it’s the line up of the NEXT seed starter pack.. let me know bruh you can either swoop by or i can meet you somewhere closer to you.
Oh man that’s awesome thank you so much shoot me an email brotha I’d love to test it out for some content 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 yardbrah@gmail.com
I found a greensmaster in my area that’s my level up from my Mclane
Aye get it! I can’t wait for a greensmaster! 😩😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah your nailed it! If your thinking about reel mowing just do it!!
Great tips I really envy you I'd love to reel mow at least my front but too many chips stacked against me right now. Two young kids, I'm already in the doghouse w/ wife everytime I mow more than once a week, have primarily TTTF, and following a 100% natural program pesticide-free is most important to me I'm trying to master first which seems less possible if converted to low HOC KBG. Some day though..
Start a CZcams channel make $1000 a month and she’ll tell you to get out there twice a day 😂😂😂😂 yeah tttf is gonna need some higher reel mowing I know Cali trimmer has the high cut version 🤭😂😂😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah 😆😄😂 thanks your advice always on point!
@@HotLawnSummer Hey you start a youtube I'll be the first to subscribe my dude! 😊🤙🏾
What is the type of bagged sand you were adding in the beginning?
Quikrete mason sand 😊🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
ive got WEBB envyyyy
Webb!!! Such a fun mower!😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
How low does that sun Joe cut?
15mm .6 inches 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
YUP
Ah-yup! 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Hey Brah what got you into turf? Are you a golfer?
Pandemic and a lot of time on my hands got me back into lawncare 😂 yeah I used to golf heavy but my back won’t allow me to anymore 1 swing and my back is gone 😂😂😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Reel mowing looks amazing but man it’s not for the majority of people. You really need to have time cause you’re gonna be out there cutting grass every other day. And the spoon feeding. I spoon feed TTTF with KBg and it’s work. I have 3 kids, a wife, and a whole entire house to cater too. And then you have to make time for yourself to exercise. Being healthy is the most important thing one can do. Gotta take care of yourself to then be able to take care of anything else.
But I understand we all don’t have the same responsibilities or priorities. After all, this is a lawn care enthusiast channel lol. Just putting my opinion out there.
For sure 😂 reel mowing is very time consuming but it’s what I love at the moment very obsessed now 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have a Walmart lawnmower I am a noob Bro
😂😂😂 Walmart lawnmowers are lowkey 🔥you noob 😂😂😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah I trying to get a green lawn i need help from yard brah
Yo what do you call the shoes you were wearing at the end of the video
The checkered slip on vans? Or the gucci slides? 😊🤙🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah ok I was calling them saddles my son corrected me and called them slides I guess I'm not hip to the lingo
😂 on the island they are called rubba slippas 😂😂😂
how often do you cut with reel mow?
never mind. you said very day. thanks!!
It’s all good yeah almost everyday if I see the grass wants to grow I’ll let it chill for a day 😂😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah I respect that! I cut my lawn every 4 days, people already call me crazy but I really enjoy it. :)
And a 30$used reel mower
How is the reel mowing coming along my dude 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah I like it i level one side of my front yard to see how I like im do the other side this fall
