This is one of the best videos I've seen on reel mowing because it peels back the curtain and shows just how involved things can be. Good for you my friend, transparency always wins.

Thanks so much Allyn. It was a fun piece of content to create. Like anything, the deeper you get into reel mowing, the more that nerd hat starts to go on. All in the name of getting that tight cut. 😎

Thanks Ron. Since I been learning about reelmowers. Nobody never showed how it really worked. Setting the height. AWESOME 👌..

The gauge is not cheap,,,but absolutely worth every penny.

I totally agree Frankie. It’s not took you up very often but when you it reminds you why you spent the money.

Thanks Lawnengineer. Using multiple cameras made editing it a lot easier/faster. Fun project. Thanks for watching.

Very professional Ron! Good job! Hey I noticed you got a one of those fancy potato jet tripods! I just picked up a carbon fiber manfrotto tripod myself:) Game changer. I never knew having a nice tripod would make such a HUGE difference in the filming process! Now I’m a believer that a good tripod is one of the most important pieces of film gear, never going back to those amazon ones!

Thanks George! Yessir. I absolutely love the flow tech. After my camera almost fell over 3 times making the shrub-cutting video, I said enough. It makes getting shots sooo much easier. The legs are great but once you couple with an aktiv8 head, it’s magic. Seconds to level the camera without messing up the shot. Cameras will come and go, but can’t beat a good tripod. 🤓

Ron you gotta get the magnetic accugage! That looks painful trying to hold it and adjust at the same time! Great video man

@RonHenry 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Jeff. If I had to do it all over again I would go for a magnetic unit. I guess the one upside to showing the process with this one is people that don’t have a magnetic accu-gage can see how it’s done. 😎

I too have issues getting each side of the GM1000 to match exactly. I've considered getting a second AccuGage...one for each side. Rich people problems.

Hahahha. That *would* be more efficient LG. I'm Would speed things up considerably. 😎 Granted we'd look like crazy people but the reel mower likely accomplished that already.

@RussC123 Ай бұрын

Super helpful! - Any reason you folded the test paper in half? Always seen most folks do it unfolded.. - How much should the reel be contacting the bedknife? I.e how do you know if it’s too much contact?

This may come across as moronic but I do not understand how to read the guage. How do you know when you are at say 5/8"?

How to adjust height of cut John Deere 2653b ?

@RonHenry 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Gordo. I've not adjusted the height of cut of a John Deere to be able to tell you. It should be similar to the Greensmaster. Sorry I'm not more help on this one.

@ringsidejudge4302 2 жыл бұрын

Would it be possible to cut grass at two inches with this mower . Great channel .

@RonHenry 2 жыл бұрын

With the TruCut mower, yes. Not with the Greensmaster. The max height of cut for the mower in this video is 1.25". Appreciate you watching.

Do you use the same principle on a toro greensmaster flex floating head mower,do you have your gauge from back roller to front roller or from front roller to back of your cutting head?

@RonHenry 2 жыл бұрын

Back of cutting head to front roller Michael.

Great Video Ron! I’ve been following you since I was gifted a True Cut and over seeded with Arden 15. Hope to add a Toro this year! Which out of the 2 reel mower would you say is the easiest to adjust for height of cut?

@RonHenry 3 жыл бұрын

Heya Hercules. The TruCut is much easier and faster to change the height of cut with but it's really comparing apples and oranges. The Toro is designed for the height of cut to be locked in so that there's little to no deviation between mowing sessions. You won't be unhappy with either mower. The TruCut is an amazing machine too. Both do a great job on turf when setup properly.

@herculesyoung3819 3 жыл бұрын

Ron Henry yeah I was getting ready to ask that , if it was comparing Apples to oranges? Thanks

Yeah Hercules. They’re very different animals. Both great though.

Ron, 2 question. Do you like the Full Gage-Guard on the Accu-GAGE, and would you have preferred the magnetic hands free option? I just received my new JD 220 ECUT and need a gauge. Thanks for the videos and carrying PGR in your store

@RonHenry 2 жыл бұрын

I've never used the magnetic version to be able to comment. I can see how it would be better though. Would make for handsfree adjustment.
