Facebook has been my go to! Several mowers, trimmers and back pack.
Always like these videos Bill gives me something to think about and shoot for. Especially when you keep it simple for guys like me✔🤣
Where is the hour meter on the timemaster?
Thanks for commenting! Timemaster don’t come with a hour meter. You have to buy separately and install it yourself.
Great video Sir....your maintenance program is superb. Subscribed. She will notice the 100lb difference in weight with the Scag, heck the Turfmaster is 40 lbs heavier. I've spoken with several crews actually on the streets about the Scag 30 (castor). They all say the same thing, "Its a fantastic mower!!! but heavy as hell"
Thanks for subscribing! My wife Michele will most likely stick with the Timemaster. We just sold our Ferris FW15 because she was drained physically mowing all day long, even with a hydro transmission. You’re probably right, she won’t like the extra weight using the Turfmaster or Scag 30 either.
@@BillyGoatLawnService I got ya! Looks like your running about 8% on R&M( repair & maintenance) That works al day longn with 5% as a target!
Worst fuel cap B&S engineers ever designed! Jack’s Small Engine is now part of Northern Tool.
Thanks for commenting! I plan to do a video on the gas cap in the near future.
Your the man !
Thanks!
I cut grass in the afternoon here in Woodbridge VA and is a great mower for me, I would like to install the electric cute blocker like the one you have, great videos all the time
Wow! Woodbridge… I remember the days of traveling 95 on the weekends to Lake Anna. I really appreciate the comment and supporting our channel.
When your starter rope became hard to pull it was probably ready for a valve adjustment and some brand engines need adjustment more than others.
I thought the same, I did reset the valves before hand but it was getting worse to the point the motor would seize up.
Awesome video. My 36 is actually hard to pull the start rope. I gotta figure out exactly what’s going on. Only 1st start of the day. It’s good after that.
Thanks for commenting! My initial thought is your valves need adjustment on your 36. Here is a link if you want to attempt the repair. czcams.com/video/VKQE5r1JOfk/video.html
@@BillyGoatLawnService thank you. Yea I’m almost 100% sure it is. And yes I’m going to attempt it
That's A Good Mower
Wow that's a detailed working hours. I don't feel so bad about buy 7 o them. Lol.
Some may say I go overboard, I guess I’m brain washed after being a maintenance mechanic for 25 years.
Just let you know Briggs and Stratton engine are junk
Thanks for commenting! I would have to agree, I would prefer a Honda engine for residential. Of course, commercial would be either Kawasaki or Kohler.
Interesting breakdown of costs(mower, fuel, oil, replacement parts, etc.)! Is 500 hours considered a lot of time for this particular push mower? I'm just curious, if there's an average hours(run time).🤔
Tell you the truth, I’m not really sure. As these engines age, I can get an idea of how long they will last.
I consider 500 hrs on a residential non commercial mower a lot. Many professionals utilize this mower commercially. That speaks to its capabilities. Figure a homeowner mows 1 time weekly for 32-40 weeks a year. Say the yard is big do it takes 45-60 minutes. That's 26-40 hrs a year. So thats 10-15 yrs of non commercial use. Chances are engine replacement wont be necessary with this type of utilization and proper maintenance. I have a 2018 Timemaster with the B&S 223cc that I use in a semi-pro application( my side business is lawn care) I run AMSOIL Small engine 10w-30 and non ethanol fuel bought at the pump(Bucee's gas stations) . I find this mower to be excellent that doesn't mean it does not have draw backs. It does. Its my primary push mower for my commercial properties but the majority of those properties are cut with a zero turn. At my home I run a Honda HRX217 21" which is a small property. If I had only one push mower it would be the Timemaster hands down.
@@gls3894 I appreciate the comment. Looks like you take care of your mowers as well. Keeping up with the maintenance really makes all the difference if you want to get the most out of your equipment. Like you mentioned, a typical homeowner should get at least 10 years plus of use if they take care of it. I’m extremely happy to reach 2 years of use before buying another residential mower.
@@gls3894 I only the hrx217. I have 6 of them the last 5-6 years. Two I bought brand new and 4 was used. Unfortunately, my help broke one of the new ones with only 20 hours of use and a used like new. I cut twice a week and about 500-600 hours a year. The early models of the timemaster I was not impressed but seems alot of the issues have been fixed. Now I am trying to figure out if i should go for the timemaster or the turfmaster and if not the scag. I am kinda leaning to the timemaster since basically I can get almost two timemaster for the price of either the turf or scag.
Jeez that’s a clean mower. Do you have issues with grass clogging up under the belt cover? I took mine off the Turfmaster.
I feel like our mowers run better when they are clean. I know that’s not true. Lol… Yep! Grass clippings build up fast under the belt cover.
