Why Im taking off all my Gator Blades of my lawn mowers

- Blades of Grass Lawn Care is done with Gator Blades on our lawn mowers for the season. We install gator blades in late fall to early spring to mulch the leaves of our lawn care business customers, but today I'm doing the switch to high lift lawn mower blades.

Very, VERY nice and neat workplace and trailer - the latter demonstrating beautifully the advantage of an enclosed trailer. 😎👍
The only thing I would strongly suggest, as they don't appear to have the protective plastic cover, is to either keep the filters in their boxes until needed or place them the other way up on a sheet of clean paper - like that there's the likelyhood of dust or dirt getting into the 'post' filter part and into the engine.
Great tip, thanks!
I really like your point of views .
Thank you!
I have a .75 acre yard. CRAFTSMAN T210, Kohler. I'm keeping my Gator blades.
👍
Love that mower lift/jack. Quick, one handed operation too.
Stores away nice. Look into one of them. 👍💯
I;ve been using them for years and still love them
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare where do I get one?
Wow. That music at the intro is pure quality in my truck with a subwoofer.
No shaking hands here, either!!! It’s just a goodbye wave, and “take care and see you next time.”
✊👍
Have a wonderful season,drinks lots of water and be safe out there I’m a landscaper too 😎
Thanks, you too!
Appreciate the vids Johnny! Great info. Question, if you love the self sharpening blades, why aren't you running them on all your mowers?
You have a nice fleet of mowers! Well maintained.
Do you run regular gasoline in your equipment? I only use ethanol free gasoline because I’ve read and heard it’s better for small engines.
This guy is legendary!!
😃Thanks
very neat and tidy
Thank you
Isn’t that putting too much trust in that lifting device? Weld comes loose and that mower comes crashing down on you…
Jack stands! Or some other backup safety device! Just a thought. Great vid. Nice shop.
Nice nice nice. Nice equipment nice presentation nice shop
You sir are a top notch operation
Thank you!
I’m glad I’m not afraid of germs.
Very refreshing to see your videos bro. New Garden channel here from Ireland.
😃👍
Great tip about the blades and mower Jack
Thank you
Great video, Johnny. Very informative 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the video's. Keep them coming. God bless and be safe
Hey, you ever tried using the wavy style mulching blades that come with the mulch kit ? I use them for side discharge and mulching with the baffles/ block off plate. I find they work good for us 🤷♂️
I use that style blades on my JD ZTrak. They work great with the 7iron deck. Love the cut they put down💪👍👊.
@@joshslawnlandscape9935 😎👊
Gators come off around mid march around here.
😀👍
Sorry for the beginners question. I just started a small lawn business and I'm using a 2013 Toro recycler 22 in, I live in Denver Colorado and I was wondering do you not recommend using a mulching blade all season? should I mulch at the beginning of the season and bag in the middle of the season and mulch at the end? The main reason I ask is because I want to make sure I'm doing the job right. Great videos btw, learning a lot.
Use high lift blades year round, they eliminate mulch with less clumping. Mulch year round.
Ok good job. Gator for leaves, lift for summer thanks !
That is a nice mower lift for the price thx for the info see u latet chatham county GA
Nice!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare will that lift work on other types of riding mowers
3:29 your welcome
Yeah... not sure?
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare
Oh so sorry, I always jump on videos and try to find out the exact time frame from when it actually starts.
I mean no disrespect.
@@hvrlem-4k639 Nah... none taken, just wanted to know what you were showing me, thanks for watching!
Should've said "Video starts at 3:29" lol
Dr. Rick Thanks for your motivational comment, you really know how to boost moral
I concur 100%, gator blades are good for leaves, high lifts for that clean cut!!
Yes they are!
Thanks for your videos that are very helpful
I use the front loader on my tractor to lift the front of my mowers up to change blades
Best move you can make! High lift are far better than the gator.
skip to 3 minutes in for substance
Congrats on 100k :)
Also, trying to decide of i like my Gators on my new 48 DX CHOPPER
Hey man, you've inspired me to start up a Lawn Care Company. Just wondering how you felt about using an electric corded mower compared to gas. I ask because I already have a corded mower and perhaps could spend the money on more beneficial things such as advertising. You're an inspiration, keep it up!
@@MajorImpact 🗣🗣
@@MajorImpact I was 15 lmao, chill buddy
Looking to stop bagging this year like others have , What are you thoughts on using the gator blades for my 22” self propel no bag no side discharge for regular lawn care ? .. thanks
Thanks for the video!
Appreciate the great video! Digging that chart on the wall, that for plant or weed identification? Mowers look clean & sharp 😂 !
Thanks you!
Does this mower hack work with most zero turn mowers or a particular brand?
Have we learned nothing from thousands of people having been killed by vehicles falling on them?! That jack is a handy tool, but it is irresponsible and unsafe to work under those mowers without securing them by other means, for instance a heavy-duty rope, chain or cable.
Did i spot a weed identification poster on your wall? If so where did you get it from, im in need of one like that.
I made it last winter
Jack. It’s a Jack Johny 👍😂😂😂
I just bought a husqvarna garden tractor and your video caught my eye. Do you have any recommendation on good blades for Kentucky bluegrass? Im not familiar with this type of grass. I have a 5 acre property havnt decided weither to bag or mulch but it grows pretty fast oh and I love your music. Excellent video and good info. I wish you much success 😀
I enjoy this channel
what size trailer you using, looking at getting a covered trailer just debating a 12 or 14 foot..
High Lifts all the way in season!
I mean the mower lift jack
The link to the mower lift jack is in the video description in my Amazon store
What type of blades you said you switch to. Good knowledge to no. Thanks 🙏
High lift blades
Ooh i came for the tea with that TITTLE! 😂 hey any tips on [another tip of many you have given me and i appriciate every single one] I have a gopher wrecking my lawn I don't know what to do.
Wow so blades matter depending on seasons🤔
Great 👍🏾 video as always
What impact driver do you use to remove the blades ?
A corded one will work.no more than 300 pounds of torque,
I buy super clean in Walmart one gallon
Nice!
You do realize sunlight is a natural sanitizer
Also above all where is your faith in the Lord God Almighty to keep you safe
What happened with the Toro 4000 Pro? How does that compare to the Exmark?
you need to knotch the pulling wheels on that mower
Love the intro
So how do you like that 48 radius? Seems like a good value.
Two years and no complaints
Does you Exmark Vantages cut in reverse? I’m not sure if it’s a safety on it that kills the blades while backing up.
Yes it does and it doesn't have a kill switch
Blades of Grass Lawn Care, LLC I might have to check mine. It seems to shut off when I’m backing up. I bought a used 2015 48”, $2300. It has 1200 hours but for the price I paid I could replace both hydros and engine for what I could buy one with 500 hours. This is my first one to own. Thanks for the reply. Hope your Easter was well!
How did you install the back up camera? Was there a RUclips video?
Didn't get to the blade part. Got tired of hearing about gas stations, parking, lifting equipment...
I have two sets of gator blades that came with my new mowers but have not used them, what is the advantage of gator blades?
They multch good,also good for leaves,side discharge,all around blades.
Is that a custom screen in your truck?
Is there a difference between doing a mulch kit or chute blocker?
Yes, A mulch kit works batter
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare what do you have on your radius? I have a 36" ferris.
You've probably figured this out by now, but didn't see an answer explaining why for others to see. A mulch kit makes a HUGE difference on certain mowers. It's much more than just plugging the chute. It adds baffles which helps circulate the clipping much better. With gator blades and a mulch kit in the fall, the leaves will literally just disappear.
What you think about the Makita XRU15PT1 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless String Trimmer?
Sorry for the long name 😆.
Haven't had the privelege of testing it out yet
Is there a reason you don't mulch year round?
Yes, the grass grow very fast in the heat and it clogs the mowers
What brand of high lift blades do you use?
i would like to see some oil changes on your machines .the push lawnmower , even the weedeaters if u have a 4 cycle.
DO 1 more video on how to weedeat around a fresh mulch bed so debris isnt flying in them . thank you
Great videos
Great suggestion!
I need that beat
Why do u prefer exmark than Ferris
I think it is the same as Ballard Inc sells
Like the info fam thnx question also new yo channel question can u tell me the name of that metel edger u use to me the metel blade give u a better edge so if u dont mind again what's the name of the one u use thnx and blessing
Saludos Reno nv Vicente lugo
Saludos!
He takes them off because he doesn’t run them in summer, only spring & fall.
how come you dont just leave the gator blades on through out your mow season , don't you want the clippings to be smaller when your mowing anyway ? just curious
What are your thoughts on gators for side discharge all year round?? Im thinking of completely eliminating bagging do to the high cost of disposal since 2018.
Do you switch clothes after changing the blades?
Greetings from germany 🇩🇪
Wet glass dulls the blades
Will it lift a Exmark 60"??
Yes
Are you still using the laser edge self sharpening mower blades. I was about to purchase them. When would you switch to them if so.
hmmm... I see that you didn't watch the whole video
Blades of Grass Lawn Care, LLC Guilty!
@@thomasfarrell2275 i use the lazer edge here in Texas. I got over 60 hours on set im running now
I know you use exmark mowers. What's your take on scag mowers? I know you will be honest with your answer.
Don't have an answer.
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare 😂 Honest answer
True that on the key pads! Just today I was pulling into the storage unit and a car whipped in front of me, the guy threw up on the floor and wiped his mouth, then touched the key pad. It was pretty gross...
I mulch all year.....
Good to know
I have 88 oak trees on 3 acres so I also mulch year round in Florida. Gator 5.
I always get nervous if I tightened the blades on enough. What kind of impact driver is that ?
They tighten as they spin regardless
I left this video right after u use hand sanitizer…
It looks like you are using a dewalt 20v impact. I was using the same impact but on my 61" zero turn blades kept falling off. I figured the dewalt didn't have enough torque. Have you had any issues like that?
Loctigjt
👍
Thanks!
Bro I alws watching ur videos I have one question ? I alws wanna to buy like ur edger where u brought from and how much price, if u mention I will be very greatful thanks
3:18

Okay
Blah, blah, blah.
