@@TJoePeter blindside is good and controls way more weeds. But it’s not labeled for Perennial Ryegrass 😩.

@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 yeah, seems like with anything battery powered, run time is always going to be an issue. Lots of companies (including Milwaukee) are coming up with faster charging solutions to help combat the issue. I find that having two (or even 3) sets of batteries with their supercharger helps. Batteries are insanely expensive though.

@@TheLawngineer. With regards to the batteries, is there a big difference between the 12.o high output and the 12.o Forge, other than price?

@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 I’m not sure yet, I haven’t really looked into it. It’s still a 18 volt pack and 12 ah. So I’d think the power and runtime would be exactly the same. But perhaps there are some other things built into the new battery that improves charging. Might just be marketing too. 🤷‍♂️

@TheLawngineer . For the price of the bigger output batteries, and the cost of the machine itself in the kit form, I could have purchased the Husqvarna 555RXT, which is what I really wanted! Live and learn I guess!!

@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 check out this video at the 29:00 mark. Does a good job explaining what’s different about the new battery: m.kzfaq.infoCqQe1spBl18?si=UH5P3N6MUcD6gbPa

@@MarkSmith-rc8bx its pretty forgiving. You should be OK. What’s your grass type?

@@TheLawngineer Wow. Thanks for the quick response... I am embarrassed to say, I don't know... My wife got it in her head that we needed to spend a bunch of money on our lawn so she had a landscaping co. sod our front yard... We are in Northern Va. right outside of Washington DC. if that helps at all... I'm now motivated to learn more about keeping it alive and looking great. I will continue to watch your videos...

@@MarkSmith-rc8bx cool, it’s most likely a fescue mix type of grass.

Thrives in moist soil

I have the ring doorbell too! It’s good. But had to buy into a subscription to get historical footage.

Yes, I have multiple ring cameras (5) with unlimited storage for $8.33 per month. HOW TO WITH DOC also posts videos about cameras which comes off weird since he was originally about lawn related content.

@@rachy1887 never used it. I’ll have to look into it.

What about the moss, kills that too?

Yeah, it’s tricky because there are so many different thread types and sizes. Nothing seems to follow a uniform standard.

​@@TheLawngineer yes exactly.

@@G_Grip for spot spraying, yes. We aren’t doing that. We are following the conversion program which has a variable rate based on grass type and involves multiple applications.

Those are hydrangeas. Two types… wee whites and and limelight.

I know they are!! I don’t know what I was looking at or if it was intended for another video.

Might be iron deficient. Have you tried applying iron to the lawn?

Good to know. Thanks for sharing! I think the next one comes out later this year.

Correct, this fall. I'm excited to try it. Fingers crossed, they have rectified the overheating issues

@@Control-Freak you can do it now

My lawn service is soon to be my former lawn service as they are more concerned about my clover than the ratty looking nutsedge. I actually put the clover down.

Nice! Keep that baby grass well irrigated during the summer heat. Hopefully you get enough shade to keep the afternoon sun off most of it to avoid burning things out.

Go for it!

@@_the_line_8898 I don’t think you can. I don’t even think they sell the powerhead by itself. At least it’s not listed on their website that way.

@@TheLawngineer That’s what l’m finding as well.

@@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY thanks for sharing! Regarding tools to review, I’ve met reps from companies at trade shows and made connections.

Without batteries, the Milwaukee powerhead and edger attachment is a tad heavier (0.16 lbs). But I believe the Ego batteries are a lot heavier than the Milwaukee batteries. I don’t think Milwaukee sells the Edger/powerhead as a kit. You’d have to buy something like the string trimmer or pole saw kit, and buy the edger attachment separately.

@@TheLawngineer Thanks, I wonder if Echo or Stihl would be better. I would like battery power and light.

I have the trim trimmer and edger , I can’t tell if I love or hate the string trimmer , it never feeds the line correctly but when it does it’s a beast power wise , the edger is a great attachment tho

Some diseases can spread from the lawn equipment. Good practice would be to keep the lawn equipment clean.

@@rubenmorales3917 I let it sit on the leaf blades for a day before watering. Foliar application.

​@TheLawngineer thank you!!!

@@kennycooperkc I have the rubber paddle from ECHO, but not the bed redefiner. Thought about it, you like it?

@@TheLawngineer absolutely, luckily I don’t have hard clay and I’m able to cut in new bed edges with it. Only minor downside is the edges aren’t very deep

@@TheLawngineer is there a golf ⛳️ course in your neighborhood like my neighborhood has a golf ⛳️ course and pickleball court

@@jeremynguyen2346 not too close to me but there are a few within 10 miles around us. I don’t play the game, but hit up Top Golf once in a while.

@@TheLawngineer what’s top golf ⛳️

Try late August / early September

@@TheLawngineer THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@@luxbeci2 I just follow the manufacturer instructions for my equipment. Manuals are calling for 50:1, so that’s what I’m using.

Not sure what you mean. This is 2-stroke oil for small gas engines.

@@W.Vanderbilt actually… they make the toro version and slap toro’s sticker on it.
