Добавлен 29 ноя 2019
We created a network for every groundstaff or greenkeeper, whether you’re a casual, full time or volunteer. No matter which country you work in or type of sports turf you produce you are welcome. Our aim is to create an international hub for greenkeepers, promote our business and help share the art of greenkeeping with others.
Education is the goal, with our online educational videos, we will be able to help others around the world that don't have a strong education system for our industry, as well as help our own country, especially in regional areas where there is no option for education unless they travel or pay expensive fees.
This training is intended to be useful for all levels of greenkeepers and groundstaff in the industry, from apprentices and casual workers, to volunteers and part-timers, right up to individuals in the management tier.
We'd appreciate it if you could share and follow us,

Groundsmen are More Than Just “Weird” Grass Cutters
As a groundsman, we heard our fair share of jokes and banter about the profession. But the recent comments made on The Bench podcast by Jon Wilkin and Sam Tomkins overstep the line. What started as light-hearted humour about the care we put into our pitches progressed into a number of careless and disrespectful comments, diminishing the importance of what we do and who we are.
Wilkin’s remark that groundsmen are "weird" and "psychopathic" paints the picture that people working in our profession are inherently "uncool." It’s easy to laugh off the image of someone obsessing over a patch of grass, but the reality is that this image discourages people from considering groundskeeping as a serio...

wow so clueless about our industry. Probably have no idea about aeration, scarifying, fertilising etc. Think we just cut, usual story.
They want to play on a solid ground with the greenest of the greenest grass and with the perfect line marks. When it’s not perfect, all players, commentators and staff criticize the people behind the job. At the same time they don’t appreciate when the ground and lines is flawless, the job isn’t easy.. Put some respect on the guys behind instead of mocking them, jesus..
Anyway sky sports how's this going now the GMA have asked for an apology?...as a groundsman this is absolutely bang out of order, sitting there slagging all of us off, the pitch cost shit loads cos needs everything redoing and it's at a professional level..why don't these 3 do all the groundsman courses, learn to work all the machiney, and do our job for atleast 10 years...then they'll look back at this video and think.....if that wasn't us sitting there we'd calling them a bunch of..... ##it's.... Rant over......I'm fuming about this😡
What an absolute mug, keep up the superb work Greenkeepers and Groundsworkers
I bet you sqeeze your toothpaste tube in the middle..... Helpful video.
Clearly not a brain cell between them
Wow, I'm not a groundsman by any standard, but I love my lawns. This is shocking.
how often should you do it tho 🤔?
Give them a clear shot with no weeds and they will grow. It may take a while but once they start runners grow a foot a month. And for sure keep them watered
t27 for sthil
Where did you get the blade to buy?
From a dealer, however you can order them online using the part numbers from the manual
First view 😊
Glad I found this. I've owned mine since 2008 and never knew you had to add grease to it. I've used it here and there. Yesterday it ran rougher than usual. Luckily it wasn't damaged.
There was just something so relaxing in this video, idk what
For the middle I recommend getting a circle stencil and painting a full circle :)
The whole idea with this method is less of the plant has paint on it, meaning more photosynthesis and less worn out spot patches
The kine runs through it anyway would only take 2 strokes if a brush to fill the cone is a good trick I've marked hundreds of sports pitches and I appreciate the work here

What STIHL sellers fail to tell anyone quite often is that only the FS-94 and higher models have this grease point on them. (STIHL told me that themselves before anyone says otherwise!) 😠 If you own say an FS-40 or an FS-70 RC for example you will have to take the head off and yes, they still ought to be greased even though STIHL will tell you they are 'maintenance-free'. Useful video for people this, well done.
Nice demo but you don't tell how many times per work hours you have to check/supply grease. My experience is that it can consume grease by loosing it while hot and escaping through the bottom axel. If that is the case, the bottom bearing is not properly sealing. You'll find residu of grease below the cutter head when you disassamble the whole thing right up to where you can look at the bottom casing of the transmission. Some heads need grease every say 10 hours or so, others last a life time. Also depends on the type of cutting (wire/blade, weeds or branches) you're doing. Also Chinese-build heads often start to loose grease over the years, but original Stihls are much stronger and tighter.
Hi Ernie, thanks for the message - we recommend following the user manuals guidelines for each particular machine, as each will have diffrent service or greasing intervals.
@@internationalgreenkeepers Yep, I see your point of view, thing is ; I bought this ATH35z strimmer which is in fact a Honda GX35 engine with an extra back-mounted chassis, flex- and straight beam to a strimmerhead BUT they forgot to document this gearbox maintenance. So I'm trying to decide what to do myself about it by looking at others. Any suggestions? Any "average" intervals? I'm using a alu head with 2-wires. There's (not yet) escaping any grease from the bottom. If I start pushing in grease, say every 50h or so, I'm just gonna kill it because bearings also need space to get rid of their heat, as too much grease insulates them and causes overheating/weardown.
@Ernie-Tech Sure thing, Stihl recommend on newer machines to check weekly and replenish 'as required', that's open to interpretation. However they previously stated after 25 hours of use, but this can be difficult to track and users would overfill the grease leading to gear damage
@@internationalgreenkeepers Exactly what I'm trying to avoid! Thanks for confirming that. The other thing is also that none of those heads have any means of verfiying easily how much grease is in them, unless you pull out the bottom axel. The poor sight in the filler opening does say a thing about the amount of grease that is really in there. I get the idea, seen the vivid market of (oem- and origial) strimmerhead markets, this is all so badly done to stimulate an after sales market... 😞
@Ernie-Tech No problem, in all honesty the engines themselves give up before the gears in my experience, I've had one machines that's probably been greased twice in 10 years and probably has over 500 hours of use if not more. I usually say, if you remove the screw and see grease everything is okay, but there are lots of variables as you mention, attachment, temperature, usage length, etc
Any idea what that screw size is? I lost mine.
No but you can find the part and number here - www.gardenhirespares.co.uk/menu-parts-diagrams/stihl-parts-breakdowns/stihl-strimmer-brushcutter-parts-diagrams.html
Thanks for not yelling 👍👍
are teh blades a complete assembly? his so do you have the part number?
Yes - they are usually sold as a complete assembly, for part numbers I use this website - www.gardenhirespares.co.uk/menu-parts-diagrams/stihl-parts-breakdowns/stihl-hedegtrimmer-parts-diagrams.html Click though the area you need and it will show you the number
My stihl FS55 R does not have a bolt to remove, nothing.
Yes - these machines are sealed and don't require the same about of lubrication, you can however follow the manual recommendation. When changing the head or inspecting, add a small drop of grease into the gears.

Hey, someone had to make this video. Knowledge isn't automatic, you've got to learn everything. Just because we think we know it already does not mean someone else does too. Besides I've watched plenty of videos about things I already know how to do and still learned something new!
That's exactly why we make these videos, every day is a learning day!
Tip: Lubricate right after you finish using the trimmer, while the head is still warm. It's gonna make the lubricant less viscous, enhancing it's distribution.
That's an awesome tip!
Spin or relief?
Relief
Thank you sir🤙💪, i didnt knew the trimmer needed grease. I was wondering why it gets hot that easy...
you summed it perfectly for my exam tomorrow, thanks so much! I think you swapped the C3 and C4 in the diagram at the beginning but otherwise well done!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad this helped! Good luck with in exam
Gracias por tu video
It works??
Sure does!
@@internationalgreenkeeperscan you transport a piece of a long runner into bare dirt and does it take up and spread? Also does spreading some sand on a bare spot encourage runners to flow towards it?
@@ramirljif you live in Florida you can get at Augustine sod section for like $2 bucks each or you can try root these runners they work but if you have a bunch of bare spots it will take FOREVER and you have to make sure they don't dry up while they are growing
@@ramirljget a runner, soak it in water for a day or two, then it will grow some roots, after this plant the root loosely in the ground and water everday.
Wow I’m over 25 years on a Deere xt140 and never it should be greased. I’ve owned many stihls and none compare to this beast
Bloody beautiful mate
If you put too much grease in there... You'll damage it. The hedge-cutter attachment is more likely to be damaged by putting too much grease in.
This is correct
Is this applicable to all trimmers, even electric? I have a Ryobi electric?
What was that tube made out of and what rating did it have? Also how often should you do this?
🎉
nice video
Thanks!
One question, how does the melted butter fit in?
Hi mate, this has been really helpful saved me a fortune, My HL KM 145 is really tight to open and change the angles, I have greased it but no change, any ideas?? Thanks
Thanks Chris - Send us an email, we might be able to put you in contact with someone who knows more about them. bradley@internationalgreenkeepers.com
awsome bro
Thanks exactly the info needed.
Hello, where is available this item? Thanks your respond
BMSProducts.com
This is great
what happens if the threaded bit of the tube doesn't fit the thread on the gearbox is the a attachment to put on the tube
That would suggest it might be the wrong grease Kevin, are you using Stihl grease?
@@internationalgreenkeepers yes i'm using still grease but i have a grease nipple on my brushcutter i don't know what to use will i just get a grease gun and high t emperature grease
will it stop all the vibration if you haven't greased
No all, its still a combustion machine but this will limit and vibration of the cutting end of the machine cause by the gearbox
Is this required on ego batter powerload line trimmers too??
Cancha de fitbol
Yikes!
Love the Ventrac. Definitely the future.
