What is your opinion on zero-turn mowers, and when do you believe they are useful Comment from : Robert (Bob) Armstrong |
|
Hello I'm from Russia and they don't sell Masport here What is the mower model? Please answer what is most important for you when working with a mower? How often does it stall when working with tall grass? Does grass stick to the deck and side discharge so it needs to be turned off and cleaned frequently? How many hours do you need a tank? How does she deal with wet grass early in the morning? Is the grass sticking to the grass catcher outlet so that it is blocking it? Comment from : Уничтожу борщевик в Московской области |

I started with cheap tools, and they served me well enough to earn the money to buy better tools To date, the best tool I've purchased, is the Husqvarna 535LK Pro combi It is a fantastic machine, with the power to do almost everything! It is quite expensive though! Comment from : TGS Garden maintenance |

I have the Honda commercial mower that cost 1500ish upgraded from the hrx217 with nexite deck The commercial engine is better and more powerful but the weight of it is nuts compared to the nexite deck Blower I started with br 350 Stihl now I got the 800 c , brush cutter and trimmers I have the stihl 561 c-em (highly recommend this beast) the For little stuff I use a fs 94r The mower is a upgrade except the weight, blower is awesome and the 561 c em makes easy work of any length of grass and doesn’t matter how thick 1,600$ and it paid for itself many times over Comment from : Adrian Jackson |

Hi Tim! Just wondering if you had any mounting systems that you could use for a trimmer onto the cage of a trailer? I only have a small ish sedan and have really been getting into yard work lately and want to see if I can turn it into a business I have a mower and trimmer but would like to be able to get the trimmer to hang on the cage to save a little space in the car, cheers!

I Agree 100 Tim, However, personally, I avoid the batter gear (I may change my mind if I find a good Battery Pole Saw)brI started out with:br-A cheap 44cc 2-stroke brush cutter (New)br-A Stihl Backpack Blower (Second Hand)br-A DMC216S Self-propelled mower (Second Hand)brand Eventually got a Zero-Trun ride on with catcherbrI started part-time while working as an engineer and my one universal recommendation is;brGET Public Liability Cover Before Your First Mow It only take one accident Comment from : Gibblee Mowing |

Love your content! I've just bought a Stihl FS94 and I'm struggling to get a Speed Feed head to fit it the shops don't seem to have them and I'm getting a bit desperate! Got any advice on which models to get from Ebay/Amazon etc? Cheers :-) Comment from : Lotte Hougaard |

we are just about to add lawn mowing to our summer services, just bought a Mountfield SP53 Elite with the honda engine to get started Comment from : JP Heath |
|
Awesome video mate, I just sold my 2 stroke Victa line trimmer for a 4 stroke honda, just such a pain mixing oil What is the advantage of a 2 stroke? Do they have more toque to cut through the thicker stuff? brbrJust seems a bit backwards getting a 2 stroke when everything is 4 stroke or going full electric Comment from : plantranger1162 |

As a left below knee amputee I find self propelled mowers get away from me , so for my fledgling side hustle lawn operation I went for the Masport President 5000 and the Honda UMC435 Versa Tool powerhead, blower and trimmer attachments Comment from : Bruce Linton |

I'm not looking to start a business, I just ended up here whilst looking for something! I'm looking for a fairly top end battery mower I'm looking at the Masport 60V ST 19", it seems to be their most powerful model at 12kW What do you think? I see people saying Ego are good battery mowers, but I've never even heard of them before recently starting to look for a new mower lol, so I don't know From what I can tell 36V and under mowers are just too weak to be taken seriously Bunnings doesn't have many options over 50V, their top end one is an AEG 58V but it's $1400, too much for me to justify $900-$1000 tops Any suggestions would be great!

good advice! Comment from : TexTom1981 |

Hi Tim, just a quick question…what brand/type/size of line do you use for your trimmer? So many out there, it gets a bit confusing Thanks in advance 👍 Comment from : Pete H |
|
I’ve just started my own lawn mowing business, I was looking at the masport contractor how has it been ? I’ve been steered away from honda due to weak gear boxes Comment from : Wade |
|
If you could please @me when you answer this but I was just curious to know how many Milwaukee batteries you go threw and also what is the ah rating on the battery's (Amp Hours) thanks greatly appreciated 👍 Comment from : Zack Girouard |
|
What model backpack blower is it? Comment from : Bundy5 |
|
i also switched from the fs94r to the 525lst and what a difference in operation Less vibration, abit more power, better ergonomics (i had to run a darwins grip on 94r and the 525 has the added protection of the metal butt bumper and plastic heat sheild on top so you dont get burnt Comment from : Scott Galloway |
|
you can’t beat the 525LST Comment from : Big Bearded Bubba |
|
Why do you have way too many tools? Comment from : msb lawn mowing landscaping and gardening |
|
Tim you need to list both your channels in the channels tab and pin the links at the top of your comments and shorts, great work Comment from : Mae Mae |
|
Tim I do mowing for a living But still a beginnerbrI have both this mowers Sometimes it is much easier to grab the lighter mower especially in small spaces, even though it not self propelledbrSometimes I have to use the 19 inches but I miss tje self propelledbrSo I am thinking to add toy tools a 19 inches masport that is only 39 kilos and is self propelled It has a brigg and strat 4 stokes I hope I don't regret it Comment from : Saxophone and Clarient - Austral |

I've never used a petrol line trimmer before, I've only used my Ryobi 36v battery one - is the performance/power different super noticeable? Or is it more just the runtime that makes petrol models more appealing? Comment from : Aaron |
|
Although you covered the reason for petrol mowers over battery, I don't think you covered why petrol whipper snippers over battery (maybe I missed it) I've seen a number of lawn mowing videos with professionals using battery line trimmers, so if you could elaborate the reason for your preference for petrol, that would be appreciated, please Comment from : Name Withheld |
|
Thanks for a great informative video brI have a few questions:br1 You would need a trailer, any advice br2 How do you dispose of the grass clippings, do yo charge extra for taking away the grass? br3 How do you chare, per square metre? brHow do you market & advertise? brMany thanks Comment from : Mehmet Terzi |
|
Thanks Tim Very helpful Comment from : cposwn |
|
The most important thing I found when starting out is buy a mower that has good grass collection And buy everything from a local dealer that has a good reputation When you only have the one mower or trimmerto rely on it’s important to know if you have troubles you can get it fixed fast Comment from : Nathen Wayenberg |
|
I'm a career truck driver and can no longer do this as a job I'm 45yo and am looking to re-skill and start working for myself Do you think this would be a good place to do that and what do you think would be a far start up cost??brbrThankyou for any help Comment from : Noel Aird |
|
I’ve been running the husky 525lst for last 2 years and it’s a monster of a snipper with tonnes of power Comment from : Josh Chalker |
|
Can you do a battery set up you would go for Comment from : Chris Stone |
|
I look after 7 odd acres comercially my ride on is a toro hd 2000 with a 52" deck I made a concious choice 4yrs ago because of the "battery system" ( not a fan boy, practicality, good experiences and economics is key) I'm in, to go with the line trimmers as a move away from fuel depency where possible Chomped at the bit for the company to release their mower First impressions had me underwhelmed with the height of cut being disappointingly high in my domestic setting These machines arent going to replace your petrol mower anytime soon when you need that low/ dethatch mow Once I got it to my commercial premise howeveroh wow!!!!!!!!!! the work this thing has saved me in line trimming where the ride on can't reach has been immeasurable in time savings and a joy with its self drive ensuring I dont have to push it I have mowed 400 M2 easily on a single charge A criticism of the line trimmers is I go through line trimmer heads like there's no tomorrow At approx $3000 AUD a head it adds up but trying the GSA head replacement seemed to make no difference so it is what it is Again I'm not being a fan boy of one system or another but read between the lines and I'm confident the more discerning of you out there will guess where I'm at Thank you Tim for your channels Comment from : Joe Horvat |

Nice introduction to starting a lawn mowing business brbrOther areas you could expand upon at a later date, storage of equipment (eg Ute, trailer, truck, tool boxes, racks, ramps, fuel storage, securing equipment), rubbish removal (eg small or large garden bags, green bins, skips)brbrHow about a mini series’s showing other contractors set ups, what works for them and why brbrYou should try and get your hands on PELLENC battery tools, very high end contractor tools made in France Very pricey though Comment from : Mark Jones |
|
Investing in a multi tool of trimmers,edgers etc is I think a better way to go than a dedicated line trimmer Especially for a beginner as it will keep cost and space down as well as give options for more attachments going forward Comment from : The_Quiet_Place |
|
lawn mower Whipper snipper that Stihl and blower all you need:) Comment from : Noahgaming videos |
|
Man you’re making me miss my 525 🤣 in all seriousness couldn’t agree more Especially with the blowers I’m sick of the bg86 and rarely gets used now that I’ve got the br800 so a battery blower is just kore convenient Comment from : Oasis Lawns |
|
good solid advice Comment from : Greenies Mowing |
|
Fantastic approach to a start-up Tim I would personally insist no matter what to get a unit that is self propelled from the start Whether new or second hand, you can’t beat the convenience I’d suggest to do some research on what dealerships you have nearby and create a relationship with the closest as that will save time and effort in the long run on parts (I have husky gear which I can’t repair if anything goes wrong as there’s none near me so I opted with Honda and Stihl) Generally speaking my 1 advice to anyone starting up, get the best you can afford and upgrade as soon as you can Comment from : CRONUS |
|
I look after a large resort and we started to get a few battery items purely for the noise aspect and keeping guests happy In the experience we've had long term they just don't last like the commercial petrol stuff does Comment from : tales from the bottle |
|
Looking at starting a part time lawn mowing business, I notice some contractors use mulch mowers, what your thoughts on these? Comment from : keokeo Ihaia |
|
Very thorough, explanatory in "layman's " terms Thanks Comment from : imochiexe |
|
I maintain primary schools and I’ve gone completely battery for my business except the backpack blower and ride on It’s just so much quieter for the kids when working around the class rooms But the batteries are a killer 😂 but I’ll make that money back in savings on fuel over time I reckon Comment from : Jason Anderson |
|
Sounds very similar to me I got the Masport Pro power 21 SP instead of the contractor Using the Husky 525LST and a BG86 The new Ego blower is looking mighty tempting to swap to My only other tool I take out is a Stihl Kombi unit with a Ryobi edger fitted Comment from : Leon Faux |
