- This video is me mowing in real time is not for short attention spans. I get requests to show some of these jobs in real time with real sound, so, here's one. I record everything in real time anyway and do the time-lapse in the editor. So something like this video is no problem. Let me know if you like this sort of thing.

I don't know why but hearing a mower running and smell the cut grass relaxes me. And I'm not even a golfer.
Me too, but I try to be a golfer...not always successful, but I do try.
I love the smell of just cut grass. Your so right, it is very calming.
Well another good vid to add into my "Lawn Care" playlist. I love the real time mowing vids like these... especially during the wintertime.
I like the way that when the growth is overwhelming the mower that you just take a "half of a bite" to reduce the load on the self-propelled mower. That is something that I taught a neighbor's "kid" when he was mowing about 8 or 10 inches of lawn.
.. The steady sound of the mower and the ability to watch the progress of mowing the overgrowth is what I enjoy as well as the quick mowing.
.. You and the others that post the mowing videos, give me a taste of the therapy that I discovered and enjoyed in mowing my lawn. When I got to the point that I couldn't walk behind a mower, I got a lawn tractor. Now, agent orange has taken away my ability to walk without help and I can't even use the lawn tractor. These videos are more than entertaining and instructive. They are therapeutic.
Thank You
Glad you liked it! Yea, you gotta take your time with it.
I am so jealous of you, I would love to be out there with you to tame that property, looks great, good job
Maybe, if Sears would have had videos like this, their mowers might have sold more. I have always liked & bought the Craftsman brand. I don’t remember ever seeing this model. The two of you are very impressive!
I had to order this mower from their website. I now have the Cub Cadet equivalent, which I also ordered off a website. I don't know why they never stock these in stores.
That craftsman is a beast, great video to show what it's made of thank you for sharing, stay safe out there bud
That was some kind of awesome machine. first time I see one that would cut things as big as it die. nice job. thanks for a very good video
That was Awesome Video Mike, to see the Whole thing in Real Time and be able to see the Craftsman working like a Champ was very Cool..... It Really mows good even when you put it into reverse it does a great job. I never really thought of these type of Mowers to be able to Bush hog but if it has the Power, which it Definitely has.... it would be able to do it and take on jobs like these. I Enjoyed That and it will be in my Favorites.... Thumbs Up !!!! :)
+Cool58F250 You know, I'm really surprised at how many people are watching this. I'm happy to post real time videos, but I assumed most of the world would get bored of such a thing. I'll have to look back in my source material to see what I still have. Thanks for the comment!
+Something 2LookAt You Bet.... Very Cool in Real Time.
Love the videos. I like them both but if I had to choose I'd pick the ones that are sped up. My favorite was posted quite some time ago that is 5x speed, overgrown and the backyard. It's relaxing to watch.
Oh yes, I remember that one. It's still very popular. Always on my top 10 analytics page.
At 19:26 was funny. Just hearing you saying oops kinda quiet just made me laugh a little
lol, me too.
Don't people in Jacksonville have lawnmowers? They did when I lived there 60 years ago. I wore out my first lawnmower, a Toro 5 hp reel type, mowing our St. Augustine blue. What a piece of crap. Wouldn't cut crap and weighed a ton and wet grass would eat it alive and you know how much it rains in Jacksonville.
... you did a real good job on this one, hard core weeds...
Thanks!
Hey good job I could not even afford one of those things looks like a great machine
Thanks! These mowers are tougher than a lot of people think. :)
That's an impressive mower, and the operator's doing a fine thorough job too. Very restful, watching someone else doing the work!
+jim jenks Thanks!
OMG, just got to the 17:00 point, yeah man! Use it like a beast!
Your videos are always fun because they show you mowing, or whatever. You also show some very difficult situations instead of the mundane "regular" jobs.(some of that would be ok too). I guess you didn't squeeze that Scag in there so the video wouldn't be too short.
lol, I couldn't get the Scag in there. But it certainly would have made a great video. I agree, I don't enjoy filming the regular height jobs as much.
looks like my backyard... goes from green to brown!
19:45 Mark. That was a big one! Lol
A trick to the craftsman discharge chutes is to cut them shorter.
Man I have a new respect for those 33's great video mike!
+whipping grass Yea, and this is at 9 years old! I'm actually gonna grab a 2nd one myself. They are great backyard mowers. I actually didn't realize it would mow stuff like this. Game on!
You need a sickle bar mower for that yard.
Good thing this job was purely grass
Hey if you wanted you could put an extension on that to bring it between that plate and the bar below it that way you can change into what you need just by reaching forward instead of having to bend down all the time to change it but its just a thought
dude who let that grow up like that and great vid
lol. It wasn't their fault. Things happen. It did get me a great video though so I'm happy.
Yes you’re real time mowing videos are preferable
New one coming today!
for jobs like this, do you add on charges to pay for blades, trimmer line, fuel, etc...?
Yea, that's why you charge a lot for these. It will cover the cost of anything that you break.
Wouldn't that job have been easier using a compact tractor and rotary mower on that thick brush and tall grass? And less torture on your Craftsman mower? Is a compact tractor a plan for the future?
+Andrew Brenneman Well, I'd love to have one. But the need would have to be there. And this small gate situation doesn't come up often enough.
what kind of blades do you have on the craftsman?
I have the regular mulching blades that came on it.
Something 2LookAt are there different blades you can put on there? I have the same mower, just cant find other blades
wish someone made something with an open blade for yards like that
Snapper did a long time ago
Really nice video man i enjoy your stuff. Id like to know how much u got paid for that job. If you could give me a shout back id appreciate it man keep up the good work snappers are good mowers and wheres your hat? Look foward to seeing new material.
I know it looks like a Snapper but that's actually a Craftsman. And actually I did this job for free for friends. And actually I'm wearing a hat. It's in a camouflage pattern. :)
Up the gas in a heavy cut it wont hurt it.
What happened to your belt cover?
I take them all off so that I can keep it clean under there.
doesnt seem the mower for tall weeds and thick undergrowth, i see you have to make several passes and the stalks are still there
lol, no it's not. But it got it done.
Aren't you nervous about ground nests of bees?
Yes, very nervous. I've run into them before. 10 stings in 1 second while running! Eh, if it happens it happens.
In your state, do you have Yellow jacket bees & Black hornets? Both are here in Oregon and are annoying with very voracious attitudes. I feel some enjoy stinging and causing pain.
Andrew Brenneman Yes, that's exactly what got me one time, yellow jackets. I couldn't believe how fast they attacked!
i've been stung on a few separate occasions by yellow jackets because their nests are in the ground.
19:21 - oops.
Now why didnt you pay 3 times as much and get JD.
If that doesn’t work there’s always Dynomite
Why don’t ppl mow where you live
My only question is, SHORT PANTS !!!! REALLY ! How the heck do you keep from tearing up your legs on the brush and bugs, not to mention the odd SNAKE !! 🐍
Oh, you get used to it.
When cutting brush there are three thing you always take with you - a chainsaw, a pruning saw and a pair of poppers. You use one of the three to cut trees and not your lawnmower. I am surprised that Craftsman walk behind lasted the whole day with the abuse you gave it.
That Craftsman 33 is tough! Still operating just fine. It is now 11 years old.
Why don’t you just throw a match on that
Do you ever get poison ivy working all these over grown jobs?
In the early days. But I've developed a resistance to poison ivy and poison oak.
Lucky you, I look at it and get it lol....
Mowing all that, while wearing shorts? My legs would be itching all day.
LOL, yep.
my apologies, I know you work your rear off in these videos , its obvious......however I must indicate to you ........a lawn mower is not the right machine for cutting down extreme weeds and growth such as what you had to go thru in this video.....there are heavier machines that can go thru this stuff like a knife goes thru butter.....It just seems like you were doing a Yomans job with quite simply the wrong machine..............
True. Didn't have the machine you mention and I did this job for free for friends. Certainly wasn't gonna go out and rent something.
Shows you only need a 3 thousand dollar mower not 4 to 20 thousand ha ha.
Actually, this one was only $1000. Great little mower.
