  • @johnkorth4048
    @johnkorth4048 2 года назад

    The 2 granular fungicides mentioned are clearly not the same..They have 2 distinctly different modes of action. Azoxystrobin is more expensive then Propraconizol thats why the scotts costs more...Azoxy works much better in Brown patch. Propraconizol works better on Dollar spot. 2 of the most common lawn funguses..

    So just make a trailer hitch.. literally just a aluminum piece of strap or flat stock attached to the flap bar sticking out 3”-4” drill hole in end and that u can use a bungee cord S hook or I used a carabiner about 3” it locks the toro / lawn Stryper roller to your “hitch” / “Tab” so no jump offs has a bit of flex works great basically empty !! You will burn up your ego motor by lugging a full grass bag and a 20 something point grass roller. It’s grass it doesn’t need much weight the toro roller girth is plenty . The big league lawn one is hideous and very power thought out w how bulky everything is. The ego is a kids toy weight wise. We don’t need a super heavy freakishly huge mess hanging of the back of the toy mower ?? Do we ??

  • @justinyost3627
    @justinyost3627 2 года назад

    Seems to me the mower is great. But the blades are possibly junk. Maybe EGO will improve the blades after seeing reviews. Or possibly some one will make after market blades. But I'm guessing the light weight blades help contribute to EGOS long runtime....

    I did this as well. I find that the screws on mine are never tight enough--and you don't want to over-tighten--and so this will require some modification. This setup may work well with a flat lawn with plenty of room to maneuver, but I find that my arm gets pulled back with I have hills or make turns at the end of my passes. I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do, but it may be something inelegant like tying a wire clothes hanger around the u bar and the wheel axle. Also, I found the carabiner to be effective as well.

And, according to a few forums, they have no intention of introducing a striper kit for any of the current series. I think they're shooting themselves in the foot...

  • @stevemellinger3776
    @stevemellinger3776 3 года назад

    I had purchased a $300 gas mower, can't remember the brand but we'll known. Toro or craftsman I believe. Third year it would not start at the beginning of the season. I was super pissed. Had no idea about battery powered equipment. Did my homework and purchased an Ego push mower. It's a pleasure to go out and cut the grass now. Never felt that way about mowing with a gas mower, (No BS). Sometimes I have to stop and change batteries depending on length but cut quality is spot on. Mulching is good too. Blade sharpening is one or two times per season. So my take is completely opposite of yours. Done with gas and oil and belts and spark plugs.

      It does for me. There's no way you're going to get your screws tight enough without over-tightening. With any real use, the bar is going to pull back. I especially find this to be the case on hilly areas and u-turns at the end of passes.

    Just purchased the one with the toro engine. Got it home and did two passes to take a little bit off my lawn. Then did one pass on my neighbors over grown yard. Let me tell you I'm very impressed. No clumps no bogging down hell it even stripped good. We'll worth the money. Before I made the purchase I was going to get a used recycler but decided to treat myself to a new 2020 super. So far no regrets I'm tempted to cut my hole lawn tomorrow.

I am returning the mower for the same reasons. If you have a thick lawn, the lines are so horrendous. The mower doesn’t work for me here with Fescue, KBG mix. It can’t cut the previous track line.
