Hi Greg, Love your channel! What kind of blade do you use on the ProStripe? Any link or item number so I can have a closer look? Kind regards, Fritjof from Sweden
@GregsMowing2 жыл бұрын
Hello Fritjof. Thanks for watching! I now use a blade from eBay. However stock seems to be short so keep an eye out every month. OREGON 22'' UNIVERSAL ONE FOR ALL HIGH LIFT LAWNMOWER BLADE 69-275-0. Hope that helps.

Hiya I've just purchased the same mower, can you remember where you brought the side skirts ( crash barriers) from, can't seem to find any online. Any information would be grand. Gardener in Leeds Ben.
@GregsMowing2 ай бұрын
Hi Ben. Local Hayter dealer. Ask for 56 rub strips. You will need to trim the tabs off closest to front wheels

Somehow I missed this video🙄I know what you mean about the difference using a mower with a plastic box, I'm using a certain brand of mower at the moment as a fill in and there is a massive difference.

What was the other adjustment "with the allen key" above the height adjustment. Pretty keen on getting a pro stripe.
@GregsMowing Жыл бұрын
Hi. If you undo the screw with Allen key you can rotate the large dial and slide the height of cut rack up and down for fine adjustment. Check out this video I did the with Dave The Lawn Guy - where we fit one of these to a 56 pro kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLKja5RyuJncgps.html

I’m just wondering, have you ever tried walker mowers? I know here in the US they are amazing machines. They sell them in the UK as well.
@GregsMowing4 жыл бұрын
Kohler Lawn & Landscape hi. No I haven’t. Seen them at saltex but no good to me. Not many solo gardeners with them here for a few reason. We mainly use vans so will need to fit in with everything else we carry. Side access. Most gardeners collect grass too. Also esp down south want the stripes that hayters give.

Good review greg. Does this bag better in the wet then the 56? And can you tell the weight difference? Cheers
@GregsMowing4 жыл бұрын
Carl hi Carl. Please check out my video on which too choose 👍🏻. You can tell the weight difference but prostripe is well balanced and very manoeuvrable 👍🏻👍🏻🔴
@carl80354 жыл бұрын
Just watched that video. My mind is made up. Now you have sold the 56, which is your back up mower? I will get the toro and keep the 56 as my back up, And sell the old 56 ( 2015 version ) which is terrible for wet grass.
@GregsMowing4 жыл бұрын
Carl good stuff! I have a few other mowers. Got an old side drive 56 if I needed a big mower. If not I’ll use a 4 wheeler or 48 pro 👍🏻😁

Gregs Mowing back up is always needed. Tempting to purchase now but with only 3 ish months in the grass season to go. Ill leave till spring. Keep up the good work
@GregsMowing4 жыл бұрын
Carl ok Carl. To be honest I make sure my dealer has spare parts. Just in case. Only thing I’ve needed is new chain and sprockets. Easy enough to fit myself. You just need a circlip tool. Or a dealer can do it. Doesn’t take long. Should be stronger chains on soon I hope so it might all be fine. Thanks for watching

Hi where can I buy one of these mowers ? I have phoned around various places Am I better with a swardman 2.1 ?
@GregsMowing3 жыл бұрын
Hi. Swardman? Best to ask Toro pro dealers. Or easiest way is to ask Hayter where you can get one from. Hope that helps.

Interesting to see the poor quality items on the new Toro compared to my 1991 Hayter harrier 48 which is still running like a clock and with no breakages.
@GregsMowing4 жыл бұрын
Interesting. The old 219’s were good but things like split rear roller and roller width weren’t great. I’ve used them before and to be honest I like their simplicity but you can’t make them now and not just because the engine situation. Apart from chain cover what do you think looks poor?
@theflyingstonemason68674 жыл бұрын
@@GregsMowing HI Greg. I'm referring to the Toros weak chain and cover along with the wheel brackets supports breaking. Something never seen in the older models.

Hi anti vegan. Cool name. I’m guessing that’s the old shape prostripe? Briggs engine. I don’t know what they cost new in Europe but in U.K. they were around 1100 and second hand ones vary from 300-600. Hope that helps.

Sort of is. Toro have owned Hayter since 2005 and this variant is aimed at sports clubs with the Kawasaki engine. Match cut technology and 3 speed gearbox, but obviously can be used by anyone
