I wonder why we don’t apply an extra blade under the lawn mower so it can cut better?
@oasisdaniel This can actually be worse for your ears because in order to hear your music you have to turn the volume up much louder then you normally would. Its best, as suggested by others, to ware ear muffs over top to help cancel the sound of machines out.
@ZefreyLove excatly how i do it
@oasisdaniel i like to listen to music too but put a pair of ear mufs over top of them.
Question: when mowing my grass, will my iPod serve as “earplugs?” Or, will it be much safer to just go with a couple of actual earplugs? Just curious. Thanks!
@hotstuff7655 it really makes no difference. personal preference. if they way you do it is efficient and looks good then by all means dont change
Good tip. The was I was doing it was cut, trim, edge, blow.
@gstonegraphix Heh. Where i live, all the landscapers are illegals.
Nothin against mexicans. Their food kicks ass.
Thank you very much for viewing my art.
@mmmmmarcus – I don’t know what that guy was talking about! I am American and my helpers are American.I guess he has something against Mexicans though.Nice drawings on your page!
@AeroJimE27 Same! Only until a few weeks ago i was working on a mower to sell it and a chunk of metal flew out of the cylander into my eye. its hurt like freking hell!
@gstonegraphix Mexicans?
Try using scissors to edge a lawn. It looks WAY better than using an electric edger. It leaves a cleaner cut, and wont scalp the grass, which results in brown dead margins.
@gstonegraphix because commercial warranties don’t reflect how long a machine will last. when i bought my strimmer in ’88 the warranty was only something like 6 months or 1 year commerical, still runs fine and dandy. All Shindaiwa’s even today are like that.
@thealed29 Then how come as of January 2010 they have a 2 year commercial warranty? You must have added a extra zero on the end of you number!
@gstonegraphix oh right Shindaiwa machines are lame? even though they’ll last over 20 years commercially? right…
I’m sorry but I don’t agree with all your video, you can use a weed eater to edge if you know what you’re doing , and I’d prefer to mow first, edge and weedeat next, and then blow it off .
@gstonegraphix I don’t see what that has to do with anything, some people are more personalized, than industrialized, and that has nothing to do with Logos , are equipment,
It’s how you use it, an your knowledge of it , some people don’t like a bunch of Mexicans and people in their yard , eating their lunch under their shade tree.
This guy’s a joke-nobody that is BIG TIME uses that lame ass equipment he’s using or a truck with door magnets.We have fully decaled trailers and 3/4 or 1 ton trucks with graphics and logged thousands of hours mowing.I got guys trimming /edging,mowing at the same time then blow!Wireless credit card at the door to get paid.
@AeroJimE27 how???
you look like rainman mowing with those big ass ear muffs on!!
you are the nigga boss
F5 to skip advertisements …
Excellent video. I prefer to edge after mowing and right before blowing because you get a sharper edge. If you edge first, then you trample over the edge with the mower and “de-sharpen” it – lol.
Also, I aways cut in both directions every time (i.e. cut the lawn twice) because it gives a better finished appearance.
this dude is stupid it doesnt matter if u mow the same way every time grass grows torwards the sun idiot
@comment clown height is the distance from the ground that the mower blade is set at
