wondering if this would be able to be attached to just the 'expandit extender (to save money and waste for buying an expandit attachment
I'm not sure, to be honest. Might be worth a look to see if the end of the extender has the capability to fit the correct collar?
Great review.
Thanks Legend 🤙
Wish Dewalt had rotary scissors attachment
I'd like to see more brands bring rotary scissors into their lines, for sure. It's such a great tool for edging.
Depends what Bunnings staff member you get. Some are great, some aren't so great.
True. Same can be said of most retailers though I suppose. The customer service at Bunnings when you're trying to find something is usually garbage, lol. When they're trapped behind the trade desk and can't run off, they've been pleasant and helpful enough 😄
Kid is super annoying tell him to go sit down somewhere
Thanks for the demo mate. Really helpful.
Thanks Legend, glad to be of some help! 🤙
Ryobi could tell why the reel model doesnt seem to be available on the northern hemisphere.☹️
They were only available for a short run here, too. Either they weren't a good seller, or there's something else in the works I suppose?
11:59 the site safety officer enjoying the shade had me 🤣
He's a good helper!
LinkTap support is amazing as well and they stand behind their product... I was >2 years and mine got corroded from water inside and they just sent me out a brand new one np.
Nice video 😊 I have some relatively tight areas to manoeuvre around in my garden and wonder how the Sterling is like on the turns. Allett mention an UltraGlide system. Did you find it turns much easier than the Liberty?
To be honest, they both felt pretty similar in that regard. I didn't notice one being particularly harder or easier to manoeuvre.
Thanks mate. Good info. Two questions please: Your method of dealing with the lawn leaves is clearly better than the vacuum, but do you see a use case for the vacuum dealing with tighter spaces? I have leaves falling on flower beds and low hedges etc. And you otherwise sold on 36v vs 18 for garden gear? I use Ryobi 18 for power tools but leaning towards 36 for garden. Maybe even 56 volt Ego since garden will be a different battery system anyway.
Hi mate, yep 100% can see the vac being useful for other conditions, like yours, and hard surfaces (narrow paths beside houses, decks, tennis courts etc). The vac worked as intended, it was just my specific application that didn't use it to it's potential. And yeah, I think the 18v stuff is drastically underpowered and underperforming for lawn care. The wood/metal/shop/home tools are all excellent uses for 18v. But I reckon (for what my opinion is worth) 36v or more is required for mowers, edgers, hedgers etc. I'm currently considering a swap to Greenworks or Ego for the 40v (36), and 60v(56) equipment.
my question is who can afford a 6grand mower in times like this
If you can believe it, the price has increased again. It's now closer to $8,000. They've surely priced themselves out of a heap of potential customers.
Great review.
Thanks Legend 🤙
For anyone wondering the price is now $7,173 and the 10 blade cartridge is over $1000. They're kind of stepping away from the homeowner market at that price.
Wow! The price just keeps increasing!! I wonder whether it's supply/demand, and they know they'll get away with it, but I absolutely agree, that's no longer in the realm of reasonable for most home users.
@@thelionlawn mate I want one and could probably afford it but I don't think I can justify it especially once you factor in $800 for a battery and charger. Hopefully the major tool brands start to develop and compete as you mentioned yourself.
The drive roller slipping on hills is that because of wet grass or does it slip on dry grass as well?
It still slips on dry grass. Not as severe, but it does still do it. I think it's a weight (or lack of) issue.
@@thelionlawn That makes sense, I think I saw a video where the guy put a large weight on the deck to make it heavier.
Can anyone compare this to rotary scissors from EGO? Are those from EGO as durable when edging and pulling them through dirt?
You don't need to add a filter after the linktap?
Long winded video. Could have done it in half the time.
Just bought one … I feel like the corded 2400w blower is more powerful than 36v blower and vac 😓
Yeah... She's not great. I replaced mine with the 36v Jet blower jobby, and I'm absolutely stoked with that one.
Hello from across the lake or pond,😂, east coast USA,, 🤧 politics aside, SMH, great video by the way,but I’ve had my G2-S system for 5-6 years, and it has helped me from so much frustration and the chore of having to make sure my lil garden gets what it needs w/o me having to do all the physical part, In the past I was to tired or just forgot to water my plants or garden, my dear wife has a white thumb, baby could kill a cactus,,stop laughing 😂 ,, but she is trying ,but doesn’t understand the signs of a good garden,, anyway I lov her,, bk to the point,, so my setup is worth gold it’s part of my sanity, I hate taking the time to grow from seed and it dies, I’m planning to get my parents house setup with it, if she wants it, ( it might be her therapy(respect) her way, plus she kind of hates technology sometimes, she doesn’t need scheduling she can just do what she wants when she sees what it needs, I rarely use scheduling also unless I’m out of town it would be useful, dang, I’m long winded, To everyone take care and respect , love an Peace to all, all Americans aren’t crazy it’s 11 of us left, 😤🤬😂
G'day legend! Glad to hear the system works well for you! The scheduling side of things can get a bit full on, so I only use it really during a renovation of when I've got a specific reason for being super strict on timing. Still a great system tho, and glad you're making the most of it!!
Good little pump, I use it to transfer water from jerrys into the van tank.
Oh perfect use for it!
Thanks for that. Good to see an honest review by an Aussie user. I use Ryobi One+ tools and I have no problems but it's good to see a review for stuff I don't have (and in this case, probably won't have). Cheers.
Thanks legend 🤙
Can’t believe the season is just about over. Good review.
Thanks mate 🤙. Yeah I feel like we've had yet another season that didn't really amount to much 😕. Hopefully the end of the year is better!
Good job mate, what do you think about the Ryobi machine for Buffalo grass?
Hi mate - a good friend of mine uses one on his buffalo lawn, with the tine attachment (a bit gentler than the standard attachment) and it works absolute wonders for him. Well worth the purchase, as it has improved the water and fert intake for him by getting out all of the build up. 🤙
I found your video very helpful. I am anxious to get mine system set up. I have one question - where did you get the water splitter you show on the video. I have never seen one like that and I want one.
G'day! Glad you found the video helpful! The water splitter is a Gardena brand that I bought from Bunnings. 🤙
damn oldtimeparts is now a shoe shop...
😂 They've had a name change since this video. Try Yardempire.com.au 🤙
mustve got a good offer from the shoe guys! i really want one of these, just hard to justify the almost $500 for it@@thelionlawn
How has the system performed roughly two years down the track?
Still works excellently. I had a problem with one having a fault due to water ingress to the internals, but after speaking with LinkTap they acknowledged a fault and had rectified the problem across their product line, and sent me a new one free of charge to replace. The scheduling and functionality of this system is excellent and still works perfectly for my needs. 🤙
Thanks for that. I've just spent more money on a self-propelled AEG lawnmower (same company that produces Ryobi) & I have (mostly) buffalo grass. I have to be careful as there are a couple of spots where a bit of rock protrudes (mower goes over it) & should dig it out (it may need a spud bar to remove though). I'm definitely going to look into this Ryobi unit though.
Awesome mate, glad to be of some help. How do you find the AEG mower?
I started out with a 36V Ryobi mower about 10 years ago & it was a little under powered when tackling some heavy buffalo growth & after getting the AEG 58V line trimmer 7 years ago I also bought their 18" 58V mower. It held two 58V batteries & was quite good but there was some room for improvement, which they did with later releases, but just recently I bought the 21" self propelled model & it auto switches between the two 58V batteries (8Ah or 4Ah) & is a good basic mower with efficient grass catching. It runs with a 1200 watt motor (same as before) compared to the top Ryobi 53cm (21") model using a 1000W motor, but it isn't fancy in features etc like that on the Ryobi such as top displays & alloy handle bar system etc, as it is sold as a commercial model. For my place it is overkill, but I got it at an extra good clearance price & with two 8Ah batteries. So far I am quite pleased with it. It uses a single bar blade & not this new 'Crosscut' blade system on the Ryobi (& other brands like Honda).
@@rossthefiddler5890 Awesome, thanks mate. That's a good insight. In my last video I was talking about potentially making a switch from Ryobi to something else. At the moment, Greenworks are in the hot seat as they seem to have some really good gear coming out, but I'll have a proper look at AEG now too and suss them out. I appreciate the info 🤙
@@thelionlawn Got to be careful not to have too many battery platforms as I now have Ryobi 36V & 18V plus AEG 58V & 18V. 😄
@@rossthefiddler5890 That's exactly my concern. Lol. I have Ryobi 18 and 36, and Greenworks 40v, so going to Greenworks 60v would be the logical step if I had to change up, but either way, I'm going to end up with more chargers and batteries than I can poke a stick at.
Thanks mate. I was planning to buy a leaf vacuum to get rid of gumtree leaves. I wasn't sure how leaf vacuum would perform. Your demonstration helped. Saved my money.
Glad to help mate! 🤙
I mow my Aunties home with her 36v Ryobi gears. Works well enough. I have Makita XGT 40v gear. 480mm lawn mower, power head with whipper snipper/polesaw, articulating hedge trimmer attachments and blower. I have cut nearly 2 foot tall Kikuyu without issue. The 480mm lawnmower with two 5 ah will set you back $1599 AUD.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at those models and add them to the shortlist! 🤙
Rate Milwaukee gear and Greenworks gear highly. Cant compare to Ryobi as I havent used their tools
Awesome, good to hear. I think Greenworks might be a front runner.
With a bit of TLC your lawn will come back. Got to be one of the toughest plants around.
Fingers crossed mate! 🤞
👍👍
Ozito stuff is pretty decent and batteries are dirt cheap and very easy to replace. Not as many really nice tools as Ryobi to choose from I.e there whipper snippers are garbage. The new mower they have now looks pretty decent also and well priced also. I guess it all comes down to how much money you have to spare, some of the brands are pretty expensive especially for batteries. Greenworks look like a good optionand has a line to suit anyone.
Yeah I'll have to say Greenworks are high on the list. I use their battery in my Allett Liberty, so getting more tools that fit that platform would be a good leg up. 🤙
Just moved over to a battery line trimmer and blower not a lawnmower. Went with Husqvarna has to be the best line trimmer I’ve used, using BLI200 batteries I get about 50 minutes runtime with the line trimmer and about half that with the blower . Hope this helps
Awesome, thanks for the info, I'll add them to my list to have a look at!
Don't see many people using the stihl or husqvarna battery stuff. Might be a good point of difference.
Definitely going to have a look at both of those! Cheers.
Hard to find an affordable cylinder mower, disappointing that the ryobi doesn’t go very low
many thanks NSW 2263 I am so lucky I saw this !
The cutting height of any lawn mower is determined by measuring height on a “hard” surface. On a lawn, the weight of the mower is the determining factor as to how high/low a mower will cut. The Ryobi cylinder is a very light lawn mower. Thus the grass holds the cylinder up.
Considering how expensive the Ryobi reel mower is (AUD$4000) I would expect more blades than 5 blades than manual push reel mower and the mower can only cut to 18mm?? My Victor Lazer push reel mower has 5 blades and cuts down to 100mm an cost just over AUD$100.
Great practical review , well done
Thanks legend 🤙
Love the look of this device ...the only thing I cannot find out is whether like the cheaper Holman units tap link needs to be winter protected for low temp freezing or frosts
G'day - there is a section on the LinkTap website that covers winterising the units. I don't get temps low enough to worry about it here, but it is a very simple process of just removing them and shaking the residual water from them before storing them for the cold weather. I'm not sure if the web link will work, but try here www.link-tap.com/#!/faq/en/how-to-winterize-LinkTap-water-timer
Pull the pin and get yourself the 750ml Acelepryn. At $0.68 per ml it is a lot more affordable than the $1.15 per ml BGS option you have gone with. Yates are making a killing.
Good tip. Worked alright in a pinch, but for future I think I'll do exactly that.
I bought it to vacuum leaves out of Mary River Pebble that’s been put on garden beds. Or leaves on compacted mulch. Try doing that with the mower.
Glad you found a good use for it! As I say in the video, it obviously has a place, but didn't work for what I needed 👍
MP rotators will be your friend. They even have some designed for narrow strips
Yeah, I looked at those a lot. I didn't want to trench down the middle of that section though. Found a solution though 👍
Just picked up a used one of those Ryobi Cylinder mowers for $30 off FB marketplace. Any tips on how I should prepare it to cut its best given it's used?
I didn't ever get around to back lapping this one, but it can be done. You have to remove the drive motor off the wheel (behind the cover) to let you spin the reel with a drill etc, and find a nice paste to use. If it isn't in dire need of a back lap, just clean the blades and bed knife, and adjust it so it cuts paper evenly and you should be good go go! 🤙
@@thelionlawn thanks mate! Will try all this. Do you feel putting a bag of sand on it while running it would help it cut lower?
@@scott-wright Yeah, I had a 10kg weight plate on mine to get it down low. But there are the two Allen Key adjusters right at the bottom, and if you put too much weight on it, they dig into the lawn as you go, so just be mindful of that. 👍
Hey mate does it get hot mine gets quit warm using a milwaukee
Do you mean the scissor? Or the battery/powerhead? The scissor part gets a little warm from friction, but I wouldn't say hot. And the powerhead doesn't get any warmer than it normally would running the whipper snipper or edger attachment.
I've got the link set up, works well. Unfortunately, it seems the states have a waaay larger selection of attachments. Not much of a selection at bunnings
Yeah, I've had another look at the kits in Bunnings and there's not as big a variety as I initially thought. Are you happy with yours?
@thelionlawn I'm happy with what I have but I'd love to have access to the whole range
I purchased this for our outdoor tiled areas. Didn't do anything. Took it to my daughters to use on her tiled deck. No improvement either. I took it inside to try on our shower floor that gets calcium build up. Didn't do anything either. Love Ryobi but not this one. Regretful purchase.
Yeah, I must admit, I've not used it for anything of any real significance since I did this review. It's just in the way in the shed. 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for reviewing how these work together. It’s the missing link for my lawn edges where the whipper snippet just doesn’t cut as well as the cylinder mower.
It 100% makes all the difference when you're cutting the rest of the lawn with a cylinder. Glad the video was of some help. 🤙
@@thelionlawn my mate in Victoria showed me his Stihl version, but since I’ve already started with Ryobi gear, I was searching for this option. Thanks again. Best Wishes for Christmas.
@@peterfra177 You too, legend 🤙
