Why I Switched to a Smooth Roller // Look at those Stripes!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Is there a reason to choose a grooved roller vs a smooth roller for your reel mower? I switched to a smooth roller to begin mowing some of my lawn renovation areas. The reason for this is that it is less aggressive on the somewhat soft soil that is there after leveling, and will help to continue to roll this soil with the machine over time. As with any roller...we still get to hear Connor say...Look at those STRIPES!!

First. This guy is dreamy
🙂
Good musician too
Would you look at those stripes!
You're supposed to slow down bro!
Did no one notice your comment is from like 16 hours before the video was posted.
I used one of these to cut a big ass section of grass used for lawn bowling..them old peeps loved it..smoooooth
lol, connor audio on stripes. lolol
Chris A hahahahah Iam still laughing Ryan u nailed it :D
For what it’s worth as if my option mattered to anyone.. I don’t think people watch your videos for humor that’s kinda Connors lane .. your editing skills are amazing! the way you put your videos together is by far the best in the community... your very humble and know your stuff ... your lawn is absolutely inspirational... in my opinion there are 4 kings in the RUclips lawn care community.... the cool season kings are you and Connor ... the warm season Kings are Lcn and Gci ... you have done something special in this community of lawn nerds and should be very proud! Keep it up bud I’m a sub for life! For what it’s worth my job affords me 12 to 18 hrs a day 5 to 6 days a week watching RUclips videos that’s a ballpark average of 250 to 300 GB of data a month yes gigabytes... so I hope with that said maybe this will mean something to you.. keep it up bud your awesome
Thanks for the kind words! That is a lot of video to watch!
Ya man it’s probably not healthy but I’m not staring at my screen I can multitask.... anyway thanks for all the quality videos your a rockstar
You make some great videos Ryan and the Connor soundbite is great.
Thanks!
Watching you cut your back yard with a manual reel mower reminds me of when I was a kid cutting our lawn with one of those back in the late 70s. I hated that thing.
Looks good bro - smooth cut all around. Glad you caught some of the crash on video too!
They really nailed that "giant HP DeskJet printer" look with that mower.
3k and you can have your own lol
Imagine how nice our counties would look if the government gave two hockey sticks about lawns like you do. I recently became a lawn addict myself though, Im making my own equipment to cut costs too. Now if it would just rain for a bit (NC). Thanks for the vid!!
Yup, manual reel in backyard. Go Wild....I'm going tonight to preseason opener. You come to town I can hook you up with tickets.
I'm only like 40 seconds in and that could honestly be a super bowl commercial for those mowers.
you keep me motivated to work on my yard. keep them coming.
Hey Ryan.........your lawn is looking Awesome! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Your lawn is very impressive and yet I am somewhat relieved that you also have some stress and brown patches...😉 keep them coming 🤙🏻
That was soooooooooooooooooooooo clever!!! Love the voice dub with Mr. Safety Sally.....a.k.a.... Lawn Rebel :) I'm going to use that voice dub as a ring tone on my cell phone!!! That is is just pure GENIUS! Loved seeing you all at the meet up. Please, lets do this again next year.........this is awesome! Need to get the other yahoos like Lawn Tools, John Ware and others and make it a group Weekend party. OooooH!!!!! Someone please tell CONNOR to not SNAP CHAT and drive.........especially on the Mountain Coaster at Snowbird......BOOOOM!!!!
Hi, I am Mohammed from the Middle East, I have a question, but excuse me my English is weak and my question is: When to use the regular mower and when to move to Smooth Roller.
Ryan great job. I really look forward to your videos...they are very interesting and such high quality!
Thanks!
Love the guy at the end .."Your suppose to slow down Dude!"
I believe he used the word...bro
hahaha!
Appreciate you growing the lettuce out for us hockey players.
Gotta get that salad going
That moment of panic on Connor’s face is priceless! Awesome video as always! Really digging the cinematic style.
I cannot watch it without eventual tears coming down my face from laughing
@@ryanknorrlawncare I was so happy when you played it again slowed down a bit. I may have publicly busted out laughing at work.
@@DaddingAllDay it is so so good. Priceless expression on his face
Lol...i love the Connor sound bites. That lawn is looking top notch!
Lawn looks awesome! Wish my bermuda lawn could look that nice.
It can my friend. It can. Imma bermuda guy myself. It's definitely a user friendly turf!
@@BudgetLawns nah. I've had my bermuda as nice as it could get at my old house. It looked awesome, but nothing like Ryan's lawn.
@@shmiggz if you say so. I just love bermuda, so maybe my bias makes me see it in a different light. Don't get my wrong, Ryan's lawn is beyond phenomenal. I just think an immaculate bermuda lawn looks better than most cool season turfs! Must be cause of my days spent on golf courses in the south. Bring back good memories.
It was great meeting you this weekend. Keep up the good work.
Nice to meet you as well!
If RUclips had an editing/cinematography category...you'd win every year brotha. Your craft is a gift!
I appreciate that!
I... am... looking... at... THAT!!! Nice!
Grass looking great! Conner sounding great! What a night. I need to sit down lol
Used my powered reel mower for 3 times and its sure more of workout than sitting on a ZTR.
Hockey hair!! Love it. That's what I called it when I had it back in the 90s playing in high school. Ha. You're killin' it with that lawn, man. Looks damn near MLB ready. Out-freakin- rageous.
:)
WOW -👌🏻 - very nice and healthy ! Looks like the super Duper Looper with a terrible breaking system @ the end😂. Going into the middle part of the 70s to the upper 80s with no rain -☀️got to keep things green over here in Quakertown PA. Thanks for sharing
Sorry my friend but I just don't understand the importance of stripes? Is it just for looks?
TheTacticalDefender 😀 It’s like painting with grass - lawn art 😀
Ryan, I must say, your Connor imitation is spot on 😂
The Connor voiceover is priceless!
Lawn is looking good! The fall should kick that into overdrive!
Smooth video Ryan! Look at those stripes! Groovy!
I bet you are the envy of your neighbor having MLB type grass. I have got to get me one of those mowers.
Nicely done sir...
Dirty Dangles Boys! Get that hockey mullet going!!
I used to push one of these my grandpa had, without the laser jet printer case on it.
No pushing here...self propelled :)
it truly does look awesome I wish 3 acres was as easy to do
Some really nice finishing on your lawns there, and I suppose you might have some jealousy issues from your neighbours now, I’d be really peeved in comparison. Keep up the great job and look forward to seeing some more of your videos....Phil
As always great video. Looking good. Can’t wait to show off my grass once it’s ready to make its debut
Simply the Stripe Master!!!
Very cool ya'll got together.
Nice video man.... really looks awesome.
Hey Ryan, have you thought about doing (or have you done already) an informational episode/segment about striping techniques? I.e. the directions and passes you take for different patterns? Watching double stripes being done prompted my question. Maybe it could be some good off-season content, but either way thanks for the channel!
I don't know if I have made one specific video about it but I'll see what I can do
Lawn is looking great!! Personally I will always be a tall mower but I appreciate the commitment it takes to mow low. One question, doesn’t rolling your lawn compact the soil? I thought that was a bad thing.
It's nothing extreme from the machine
Wish I could get those kind of stripes on my bermuda lawn!
BoostedFools I wish I could mow my Bermuda lawn lol. It’s too damn hot! I’ve just let it get long and dormant thru the tail end of summer.
90 here today as well... :(
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care come on now! That’s almost cold!
Haha. This is cracking me up. It finally dipped below 90 here in Arkansas just shortly before sunset. It's hot everywhere it seems like.
@@Thewaldo12345 I feel ya man. I'm ready for a freeze for the bermuda to go dormant for the season. It's football season in the south. That means lawn season has to wrap up!
Swardman needs to get a dealer in Canada
Looks fantastic, your neighbours must hate living next to you, putting their lawns to shame and being green with envy, wishing you did theirs for them🤣🤣🤣🤣
Turf is looking good!
That’s amazing. Ha! I knew Connor thought you had the better stripes. In your face Lawn Rebel.
Grass is on frigginon ☝️ my friend.
Question? When is the best time to spray weed and feed to your lawn? I need to kill crabgrass and etc....
That Connor guy. He is one funny dude.
Nice lawn Ryan!! Love the sound affects about the stripes. Lmao
Looks great Knorr! Here in North Georgia we’re battling dollar spot. It’s the worst I’ve seen it in all my 15 years here. And tell Ward he needs to stop being a lookie Lou 🙈. He’s gonna hurt himself.
If you had to choose between only 1 roller for MN lawn, would it be smooth or a grooved? Current mower has wheels in front. would like to transition to a roller but can probably only afford 1 at this time. Thanks for all you do and provide!!
You’ve got jokes buddy. Loads of em!!!
❤ UTAH and your videos! Can you tell me the brand of the white thatcher/mower please? I dont see it listed here.
Man I’d love to have a swardman! Those are nice
Connor ward stripes audio. Im dead. 😂
Let's be reel Ryan, you switched because you're an original bada$$!
Great video brother!!! Connors voice lol!!! Sweet lawn Ryan.
My neighbor wanted to start lawn care war... So I let him win 😆😂😁. I'm drinking a cold beer and watching this video.
Your lawn looks incredible, of course, but what I want to know - are there brakes on those mountain coasters? That meet up looked like a lot of fun. I’m contemplating flying from in San Francisco for next year’s meet up!
Yes there are brakes but you know who decided not to use them. :)
Lmfao, love the connor ward sound bite
Fantastic Job! looks great!
Hey what do you think about the longevity of the electric reel mower vs the gas powered one?, Im really interested in one!
The battery is supposed to last a very long time but I see no problem with the gas one either. It's quiet as well and sips gas because you don't need to run the rpm's very high
He mows, we drool. Great job, Ryan!
Looks awesome - great work 👏🏻
Man I can't get enough of that lawn. I live in envy. How do I get my hands on on a "I'd Rather be Mowing" . Ryan Knorr shirt?
I'll have that out soon so stay tuned
Can you turn that Connor audio clip into a ringtone?
I'm sure it could be done somehow
Loved the video. Wish I had that lawn
Can you throw a party already so people can enjoy some lawn games out there!
All that leveling work would be gone in a matter of minutes..haha
Great video! 👍
First comment without cheating, CONNOR!
Is there a guy in Texas with a lawn channel the northerners can visit during the summer? I mean REAL summer. Not “ah mate it got up to 92 today”.
92 for cool season grass might as well be 120...it hates it. Bermuda on the other hand would be loving every minute
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care I overseeded with rye last fall for the first time and it looked great all “winter” then it checked out once it got around 80.
Great video.
Where are your colorful flowers? The other guy roped us in with a sweet low mow video and then gave us a flower tour!
I have a few...haha
Did a pep talk at the meetup with JP get you recycling your clippings back into the lawn?
Nope...I have high phos so removing the clippings can help a touch with that. I just wanted to show the reel working on camera. :)
i've been trying to loosen my soil all summer.
First Aussie 😁It is looking good Ryan.😁👍👍
Very nice.
Hello Ryan. First of all, thanks for your videos. I have renovated my lawn with your help with turf type tall fescue. My lawn is very shady, but this late august and septemember have been the hottest in history for us with no rain. I watered a decent amount to compensate, which worked for awhile, but disease has started to happen in places. I have put down a treatment of fungicide and plan to do another. I am going to reseed the areas with some hydratain while reseeding my entire lawn in the next few days. I was wondering if I put starter fert down a month ago and an application of milorgonite down about a week ago, would it be wise to put down starter fert again with the new seed or not?
Thanks a lot for your videos and help. I'm starting to understand a lot more and can't wait to get mowing a great yard.
You should be ok with what you applied before and then maybe in a few weeks see if things are growing in nicely or if it needs a small shot of fertilizer again
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll keep watching and let you know! Gotta get my hands on one if the simple lawn solutions boxes you made too. Looks like a great package from people I can trust.@@ryanknorrlawncare

Soooooo great
Which is better…….smooth or grooved?
Trying jokes is better than not trying jokes
Lookin sweeet!
Pointing your stripes straight at the neighbours house . Talk about “In your face “
Seems like your using your drone a little more often lately. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mow with it in follow me mode. Have you ever tried to?
I have no tried that
Awesome 👏
great vid!
I wonder if the wrench is as expensive as the mower? Or some sacrifices were made?
Would love your opinion on the Scott's elite spreader. (Even a review video would be cool) I have the Scott's mini and it's a little short for me (I'm 6ft2in) and it feels flimsy when full. I'm thinking of upgrading next month when we move into our new home that sits in a half acre lot.
So far it's much more sturdy and feels good for my height...I like it overall!
Does using a reel mower with the roller help level out the lawn? Mine is a little too sloped to use the heavy roller like you do.
It can just a bit but it's nothing too drastic
Ryan, have you tried a Toro walk behind reel? If so, how did it compare with the Swardman? I’m curious to a head in comparison between a Swardman and a Greens Mower - just for people who are on the fence.
I have...The swardman drives a little more like a self propelled machine many are used to since you can slow down and speed up easily with the handle...the toro is more set it and go and speed is controlled by rpm. That's the machine difference in handling. Otherwise both cut great when reel is dialed in.
One other thing is that I just can't find many greens mowers in my area and if I do I need to also find someone to work on them which is not that easy either.
Hi, Ryan what a great mower and nice mowing on your lawn. Can I order one I live in California just wondering if there California carb compliant. California is very picky on small engines that come into the state. Thanks Chris.
Yes, the engines are Briggs which are compliant.
We all love Conner but I think a check up from the neck up may be in order after that rear ending display. Worried about that boy. :-/
Hey Ryan, have you installed the rear roller wiper?
