Happy mowing, man!

Happy mowing!

Thanks for that! I definitely had fun it with ... happy mowing

Good luck out there!

sounds like a great system!

MrBuzzialdrin 😂😂😂

You ain't kidding! I just got a free mower today (this very same greenworks oddly enough), it's 1am, I'm drinking a beer and planning my noon wake up and mow!

The blade usually doesn't need much sharpening ... I hope it works out for ya!

@@metaspencer Thank you. :)

Excellent! I think you’ll like the new approach

Good stuff and happy mowing!

Oh you betcha!

You're reminding me that ... it's mowing time again! I'll have to get out there :)

Excellent! He’s gonna be so happy!!

Happy mowing and thanks for checking it out!

Excellent! Happy mowing

$5 at an auction! Now that's one smokin' deal! Good to hear it's workin' for ya

Excellent! Happy mowing

Good to hear!!

Great advice! Yes!

Excellent... thanks!

Thanks for checking it out!

Great to hear! Good luck

Yeah, those batteries just don't last forever ... thanks for the comment!

Haha ... enjoy!

you bet!

The over-the-shoulder method! good stuff man

Oh yeah, you can do A LOT of quality mowing with this machine. Good luck!

Thanks! Good luck out there!

You can also attach an old rag or towel to the handle and spray that.

E-mower pilots! You're gonna love it ... not as noisy, no need for fuel, and does a great job

@@metaspencer All of those reasons are very attractive to me: I'm becoming more conscious of the pollutants I expose myself to as I get older. So to get away from gas exhaust is huge. I've always worn hearing protection while mowing, but I won't have to wear my heavy-duty ones with an E-Mower I'm sure. Last of all, my small yard has to look like carpet for me to be satisfied, and I'm sure one of these will do the trick. Cheers.

Happy mowing out there! Some see it as a chore ... but others of us really enjoy the process

I completely agree -- for many yards it's the ideal option

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for checking it out

Ya gotta have fun out there, as far as I'm concerned

happy mowing!

Great points. A small gauge cord is too commonly used. Fortunately code requires all outdoor outlets to have GFCI protection. Well said

Good luck with it!

Happy mowing!

I've heard they make. a good mower!

Big thanks!

happy mowing! the season is upon us

Lol

Oh that spray idea is a great one! Thanks for the tip! Gonna try it this weekend

Thanks for checking it out!

Great ideas -- that two blades idea is a great one. Thanks man

@@metaspencer one day I went to cut my grass I started cutting in the front of my property well I have rocks out there the size of 🎾 tennis balls but square . I had just started cutting knocked my blade off had to run to the hardware store. By the time the repair was done my window of opportunity had faded. The clouds that urged me to start cutting grass had long gone. And I got my fat ass overheated. So the lesson is cut the easy stuff first let you know there are no hazard. That way if you happen to break your blade you got the bulk of the work done. Other things I do are make sure that I have my beverage fixed before I start cutting I have a fan ready I cut grass with safety glasses, I use my Sony radio so I don't get bored old school they wear on top your head. I wear a sweatband I got a buttonhole on my shirt I took a face cloth and I can clean my glasses quick. I try to cut grass in the shade trees will shade a certain part of the property in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I always try to get the sun part when there's a cloud over head. I live in southern Louisiana you are soaking wet the moment you step out the door.

@@GEAUXFRUGAL You are a person with a plan! I've only traveled to LA once, but loved the beaches

+peteyguitarguy .... you betcha!

Oh that cord tossing can be annoying ... ya never know about those Amazon reviews!

Absolutely. Happy mowing

@@metaspencer thanks 😊

Absolutely! :)

Any time!

Especially kegs. Good luck out there!

happy mowing!

haha ... I knew it was out there somewhere :)

Wow, making friends with a mower! That's pretty cool. I've tried to mow my neighbor's lawn, but my cord won't reach ....

haha, cool. Batteries look like a good idea and I'd love to 'cut the cord' ,, but I am concerned about how long they last and they are expensive to replace, if available at all. That's what makes horse races!

Good to hear! Happy mowing

I agree: no batteries to replace and affordable, cleaner power

You'll get a good rhythm going!

Excellent

I've used the flip handle ones and they've worked fine -- makes turning obsolete. The corded mowers just keep on going as long as the ground isn't too rugged

It's a good workout! Just avoid the heat and you should be okay ... good luck out there!

Yup, you've got it.

It’s a mulcher... thanks for checking it out

Ya know, I really loved that GreenWorks mower -- and then I hit a large rock with it and bent the shaft. I tried and failed to repair it and have since switched to a cheaper model which is not nearly as solid. The Kobalt looks good, but I haven't tried it

@@metaspencer You can easily order the motor and even just graphite brushes to maintain it. I work with it professionally for customers for 5 years now! It can break some rocks into pieces and dust, cut partly through aluminum and steel pieces, but the blade deceleration in such case might be too abrupt on the side of the blade that bit too hard for the opposite side of the blade which still has too much speed and energy to stop that fast on it's own, so it's inertia and weight will generate the lateral force on the shaft while exiting from rotation. Before the shaft bends, on motor's shaft, there's a cylindrical sleeve spacer with a flat circular area interfacing with the fan and blade, positioned between the plastic fan and the motor itself, that might have bent a little if blade was pushed too energetically up or down by the collision and when overcoming it, and that spacer could be straightened by pulling out by hand and hammering over the flat top of vise jaw"s slot, or possibly some socket or can be reordered also. Most of the time, hard impacts will affect blade before affecting the spacer, or shaft, so often, solution is limited to checking blade ends while on the motor, and manually pull them out or push in till they both turn on the same plane when testing their tips while manually rotating, to a fix reference such as your finger tip. Spacer's flatness can be checked on a flat surface. Shaft straightness can be tested by powering motor for a short time without blade, fan and spacer, and eventually using a marker to leave a trace on shaft's surface indicating most eccentric side or looking for visual eccentricity at rotation. If shaft turns hardly manually, this means it is bent so much that the rotor rubs on the magnets of the stator, this can also be inspected visually, and in such case motor has to be replaced. Motor sits on a rubber gasket, this is part of the insulation of the mower since there's no ground connector, that gasket needs to be kept or reordered. Plastic washers at motor mounting screws are also part of that insulation and need to be kept. Make sure you take pictures and know what you're doing to keep the product same and safe as it was new. Model with plastic cover as shown on this video sucks air at front bottom of the plastic cover and will get grass clippings and leaf debris sucked in and surrounding the motor, should be cleaned from time to time to help best cooling of motor. Hope it helps new users too! Wired electric is great! Longevity is phenomenal! Healthy! Low cost! Great Model!

@@petarvujasinovic3988 Thanks for the detailed response. I see what you mean and maintaining the machine is definitely the way to go!

That's very common and the flap is there for safety. It helps keep you from getting cut and keeps things from flying out and hitting you. I'd leave it in place ... over time it will flap back-and-forth more easily

haha ... you noticed! :)

Happy mowing!

good luck out there!

Those were great! Had one in the 70s

@@metaspencer My 21 year-old Black & Decker with flip handle died last week. Had to buy a new electric without the flip. Used it once. I don't think I'll ever cut the lawn again. Maybe buy a goat.

@@oscarandgroucho We have sheep but no goats ... they do a great job!

@@oscarandgroucho😂

Most of us do mow when it's a little wet, but it's not ideal: build up on the mower has to be scraped away.

Safer that way 😀

yep, good point ... gotta keep it even

On a simple nail, protects the motor

+Holret ... that definitely helps. Also varying direction with each mow

Save those cords! and good luck out there

sounds like a good system! good luck with that garden this year

I've always thought the cord was better: no batteries to charge and wear down over time

+Tara Marie ... I think it would be cool, but I haven't tried it. Anything to deal with the cord!

IKR?! Looking for somebody who's tried it. No videos or anything on the subject. Those retractable cords are pretty pricey. l guess I could try one and if it sux, return it.

+Tara Marie ... I think it would only work if your pattern was just right. Can you give me a link to the one you're thinking of?

This is really the 1st one that came up that looked decent. Flexzilla ZillaReel 50 ft. Retractable Extension Cord Reel - E8140503 by Flexzilla Link: a.co/iJwLsHZ

I've got outlets around different sides of my house, so 50 foot should work. If the tension isn't super tight, it seems like it could work. Trying to gather info before I pay money. Also, returning stuff on Amazon isn't as easy as say, Home Depot or Lowe's is.

haha ... oh well

I prefer a cord just because the power is always there and I hate having to charge batteries. But with that said, the cord limits your range so most people go with batteries these days

:) glad someone caught that

Yep, that's the deal: batteries can be convenient but are just crazy expensive and don't last that long

It could be due to water, heat, or the grass being too long and overloading the motor

@@metaspencer how much time i can use it continues ?

@@rjinfo493 I haven't tried the Stihl mower

@@metaspencer ok

haha ... of course!

Mow in the middle of the night to stay cool! You've got this!

@Zach Sheffee I actual enjoy it far more than doing laundry. I am woman hear me roar or whatever. lol

This is the only case of death I’ve found from it: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1401435/Man-dies-while-mowing-the-lawn.html Outdoor outlets should be GFCI protected by code, so you’d probably just lose power and trip the circuit breaker

I cut a cord once. Nothing bad happened at all. Just poof, no power.

Danger Zone! hahaha ... absolutely

That's great to hear!

Yep, I've got a video about it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5aqiq1opprGfp8.html
