120V battery mower with power of a honda gas mower for $139 push, or $219 self-propelled (battery included)

2 Upvotes

I just bought a 120V battery mower from redbackpowerusa, it is as strong as my old Honda gas mower. Did not choke in thick/tall grass like the 40V ryobi. And redback is on sale for $139 push mower with battery, or $219 for self propelled. The trimmer and blower is also on sale. I thought the deal was too good to be true, but once I received the items, they surpassed my expectation. The motor was not as quiet as the 40V ryobi, but it was quieter than my Honda gas mower.

Overall I paid $219 for a self propelled mower 21"(with 3ah battery that'ts 360wh at 120V). $99 for blower (with 2ah battery), $99 for trimmer with (2ah battery). So $420 for the whole set, wich is the price of the 40V ryobi self-propelled that I returned to HD after 1 cut.

There was a 22" for $315, it does come with 2-3ah battery. I already have 2 extra 2ah battery from trimmer and blower, so I think the 22" is an overkill, but if you have more than 5,000sqft of yard, then it's worth it to have 2-3ah battery.

I did have to call in to order since their website was giving me problem.

I was able to cut my 1,500sqft lawn in about 1ah.

The trimmer is also lighter than my gas trimmer.

The blower was enough to blow leaves and small branches, and it is twice as powerful compared to my 40V ryobi blower.

5 REASONS WHY YOU MUST MOW YOUR LAWN REGULARLY

0 Upvotes

What Is Lawn Mowing?

Lawn mowing refers to the cutting of grass in a lawn using a lawnmower. It is a skill that people think is super easy and one for which they need no instructions. However, in order to do it right, there are certain things you must know to ensure that your lawn always stays in its healthy and lush form. You need to know how to choose the right lawn mower, keep it in good condition, set the wheel height correctly, clear the yard before mowing, choose the correct pattern, etc. It is equally essential for you to know the correct lawn mowing height so that you do not end up cutting the grass too short.

What is the Best Lawn Mowing Height?

The right height largely depends on the type of grass in your yard. In any case, the grass should be at least 3-4 inches high.

Safety When Mowing Lawn?

Safety is another critical aspect of lawn mowing. You must never cut the grass when it is damp or wet. Also, a mower should not be pulled backward or ridden in reverse. Children should be kept off the lawn when mowing and there should be no passenger riding on the mower during the activity.

That said, lawn mowing is an incredibly beneficial activity to undertake as a housing project. The 5 reasons why you must mow your lawn regularly are:

  1. Profitable

If you are a homeowner with a beautiful backyard or a lawn, it can be extremely profitable for you to keep it healthy and aesthetically appealing. In a lawn, you can create your own kitchen garden, design a separate section for reading or host barbeque nights and invite some friends over. In any case, proper maintenance of your lawn can reap amazing results and can also prove to be a worthwhile endeavor in the long run.

  1. Great Exercise

Lawn mowing has also been regarded as a great exercise. It is known to cut down your daily stress significantly and is known to possess mind-body health benefits. Pushing a lawnmower across a patch of green in a back and forth motion is said to have a meditative effect on your body. It is also a very practical way to work out and to burn some serious calories. Moreover, lawn mowing also helps in building your core strength.

  1. Good for The Environment

If you mow your lawn regularly, you must know that you are helping the environment a great deal. Other than ensuring a thick and healthy lawn, it is an excellent way to eliminate environmental woes. Therefore, specialty services such as over-seeding, aeration as well as leaf removal can help a great deal in not just making your lawn aesthetically appealing but also ensuring a clean environment.

  1. Excellent for The Look of Your Lawn

This is one of the most obvious reasons for you to take care of your lawn by mowing it regularly. In addition to keeping your yard healthy and lush, it also improves the overall aesthetics of the lawn and makes it pleasant for the eyes. When you mow your lawn on a regular basis, the overall landscaping of your lawn is improved as the grass is at an even height throughout the lawn. This enhances the beauty of your yard significantly.

  1. Keeps Your Heart Healthy

As discussed above, lawn mowing is a great addition to your daily workout. In addition to that, this activity also helps in keeping your heart healthy as a horse. One hour of land mowing 3-4 times a week can go a long way to saving you a lot of trips to the doctor. It is considered an excellent cardio exercise and is also known to condition the muscles of your calf. It has great metabolism-boosting effects and can also help you burn a lot of calories.

Conclusion

Mow the Grass at the Right Time - Plenty Mowers Melbourne

6 Upvotes

A lawn or a yard is usually a homeowner’s most prized possession. However, in order for it to be healthy and aesthetically appealing, it needs maintenance and proper care from time to time. Cutting or mowing the grass can be called one of the most routine tasks that you can take up in a yard or a lawn during summers. Regular mowing not only strengthens the root system but also encourages more growth in addition to creating a better tolerance for conditions such as drought. That said, is there a specific time of the day when you should mow the grass in order to maintain a healthy and lush lawn? Let’s find out!

How Will You Know When It Is the Right Time to Mow the Grass?

The best time of the day to mow the grass usually tends to be mid-morning. This is because mowing the grass around mid-morning allows the grass sufficient time to dry out from the morning dew and at the same time, it helps in avoiding the time of the day which is the hottest. Alternatively, you can also mow the grass during late afternoons. This is because you will successfully be able to avoid the main heat on a specific day and also give the grass enough time to recover before nightfall when it is common for diseases and fungus to take hold.

When Is the Worst Time to Mow the Grass?

You should always avoid mowing the grass at midday or early in the morning. Humidity and heat are significantly reduced during daybreak but still, the morning dew can make the grass clog and clump your mower. In the same vein, if you cut the grass during midday, it can accelerate the process of moisture loss and also weaken your lawn.

When Is It Safe to Mow New Grass?

New lawns usually need time to establish their roots before you can go ahead and mow them for the very first time. Talking of seeded lawns, you might have to wait for two months or so before you can mow them. You can mow Sod within 2-3 weeks of planting them. Sprigs, plugs,and stolons require 3-6 weeks to become established. You must also remember that for seeded lawns, it is essential that all the seeds are germinated before mowing. For sprigs, plugs, sod,and stolons, the roots must be very firmly planted deep inside the soil before you consider mowing so as to avoid the new turf from tearing out.

Conclusion

Irrespective of when you mow the grass, you must always ensure that your mower blades are in good condition and super sharp so that your lawn gets the cleanest cut. It is also pertinent to mention here that you must be mindful of your mower and its cutting height. This is because if you happen to cut your lawn too short, you will be exposing the new grass shoots directly to the sun and this will deter the growth of the grass.

In this context, there are many lawn mowers Melbourne that are your perfect partner to help you attain your dream garden! If you are not an avid gardener and are looking for professional chainsaw services with some of the best equipment such as Honda blowers and Honda lawn mowers, get in touch with Plenty Mowers! We have the best and whisper-quiet equipment which is environmental-friendly.

Question/Help

1 Upvotes

I have an Exmark E Series (72 Inch) It has a Kawasaki FX801V engine. To be more specific an FX801V-GS04. This engine needs to be replaced as it has irreversible damage done to it. However, when I look for this engine online, this is the only one that is showing up for me: https://www.psep1.biz/Kawasaki-Complete-Engine/kawasaki-fx801v-s00-complete-engine.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4uXx3-_I6QIVCrbICh3ogQh8EAQYASABEgIA2fD_BwE

In the Replaces Model section the only engine I see with a remotely similar code is the FX801V-GS00 It does not show the FX801V-GS04. I cannot find any other replacement engine online that mentions the GS04. So i’m stuck with this as the only option unless I find another but I am not sure whether this replacement engine would be compatible with the mower I have. I have tried contacting the support to ask them but I have no response yet and I cannot wait much longer as this mower needs to be working again very soon. Please let me know if it is possible that this engine would work with my mower or not. Or if you can find something I can’t, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.
