Love the added safety tips and smoother flowing video with the re-upload. I wanted to say thank you for replying to my question on the previous video about the quality of the machine. Seriously considering this machine and I feel fortunate to have someone like yourself provide such high quality videos going into the nitty gritty details.
That is such a nice comment, thank you very much I appreciate that. I always try to listen to my viewers since you guys know as much or MORE than I do. My job is to try to put it together to make it interesting to watch. Thanks again
Wish my budget could justify one of these... just bought a practically brand new 20” McLane reel mower. For now it’ll have to do the job. Just eager to begin the reel mowing experience..
Good for you! If you are going to have staycations, who wouldn’t spend the money on items to make your “getaway” look as beautiful as possible (jealous of your oasis) 👍🏼
Today I agree, Swardman is no longer the company they were when I made this, CEO/founder is long gone. Allett is the way to go now, they have dealers across the US
@@SilverCymbal Yes the Allett is a great machine, Not many people have heard of it. I think you have covered it in a video once. A Great British machine. we don't have to water the lawn as much over here, the rain does it all for you, Haha
Hi there thank you, so my Swardman story has ended for now. I have moved onto my Allett reel mowing system and love it so far. The Swardman is a nice machine but the company has some challenges, they didn't establish local dealers and the founder and CEO was fired, according to his own account last year. If you have one and love it, then enjoy it but if I was buying a new one I would buy the English made Allett. There company has been around for 50 years and their machines are much less expensive and I like the build quality better.
They are actually both very nice machines and I like them both. I was SURE the gas would have more power but they really are both the same power. The battery is nice for no noise but if you are worried about getting enough horsepower with the battery don't be. Watch for a new video too soon showing it doing some more jobs.
I was very skeptical this would work and was very impressed. Usually mu kids stomp all over the cores until it looks like pancakes all mashed into my lawn
@Duke Of Prunes I'm with you. Doing that at home is not really needed so don't feel bad, You dont' have 1000s of feet walking on the same 100 sqft each day. Some golf course stuff is good but a lot of i is due to the traffic they have.
$2577+ $329 for the Scarifier attachment + $439 for another blade. I'll pass. I can buy 5 Honda HRX217VLA 21" Walk Behind Lawn Mowers w/ Electric Start for that money. Folks, it's either just grass or an obsession.
I thought the same but I have now had this engine on a few machines and its much better than I had expected. Also check out their battery unit too for something very different and quite cool!
I have a cheap Walmart bought lawnmower with a b&s engine and have had it 13 years with little maintenance. Think it's got one oil change. Runs good. 3 squirts and one pull.
Nice machine. But all the complicated maintenance and adjustments? This isn’t a helicopter folks is a lawn mower.. I’ll stick to my Honda rotary mower. Probably better suited for Texas lawns anyway.
Don't group me as a product reviewer with lawn channels peddling their own products promising super results. This is why I have stayed with products that I use and work and resisted creating my own. When all your channel does it lawn care you have to milk your audience, I don't.
☘ *My apologies on the re-upload from yesterday the first video had some technical difficulties* ☘
Silver Cymbal, yes. This is a much better version! Thanks for looking out for your viewers! 😉

Excellent video. I’m purchasing today. Already decided on it but your review is very in-depth. Thank you
Hope you enjoy it!

Geting into reel mowing can be a ot of fun and nice experience compared to other machines. Glad you took the plunge!

I've heard some people use a rotary mower with an old blade set close to the ground to get the cores. Late fall through early spring I'm sure.
Not for me, I tried that once and pretty much scalped the whole lawn. Maybe it works in some situations but I wouldn't recommend it.
@@SilverCymbal I was afraid of that.

Gosh what a night mare, the Allett Kensington is so easy to use,
Today I agree, Swardman is no longer the company they were when I made this, CEO/founder is long gone. Allett is the way to go now, they have dealers across the US

Top 👏👏👏 congrats 👍
Thank you very nuch
Love all your videos... especially the Swarman one's. Will you be getting the new 2.1? Would love to see you review it!

@@SilverCymbal I almost ordered Swardman's reel mower but now I do not know if it would be proper decision. Maybe I will get ALLETT KENSINGTON 20 B.
@@oqlar If I was buying one right now, I would get an Allett.
Looking to get a used one. Anything I should look for?
What is the highest setting for this mower? Can I cut San Augustine grass with this mower, I usually mow tall.
You can cut at just over 2" which is very nice for flexibility
How would you compare the gas vs the electra, and which you chose?
They are actually both very nice machines and I like them both. I was SURE the gas would have more power but they really are both the same power. The battery is nice for no noise but if you are worried about getting enough horsepower with the battery don't be. Watch for a new video too soon showing it doing some more jobs.
I would love to have their electric version. $3000 for a 3200 sq ft lawn is hard to justify to the Minister of Financial Affairs )aka SWMBO_!!
YEAH...PRETTY STEEP...YOU CAN GET A RIDE ON....I DO LIKE IT THOUGH
It's hard to justify no matter how large
Great way to get rid of those cores. Leaving them never works, and raking is a pain.
I was very skeptical this would work and was very impressed. Usually mu kids stomp all over the cores until it looks like pancakes all mashed into my lawn
And lots of nutrients in those cores. Great way to keep them in the lawn!

@@usahome Great point!
What was wrong with the last video? I thought it was very well done 😏
I really appreciate that I added a little more safety info that should have been included.

That's true and Hondas are great. But it's not the same. The Honda doesn't cut low very well and it doesn't do anything except mow.
For what these mowers cost, I would only purchase one if it had a Honda motor. B&S motors are just not reliable in the long term.
I thought the same but I have now had this engine on a few machines and its much better than I had expected. Also check out their battery unit too for something very different and quite cool!

Looks like a great mower but I think it is a bit over priced IMHO.
This is still an expensive mower but a lot less than the Swardman ruclips.net/video/1Gzttrn9P0c/видео.html
Glorified junk all these RUclips lawn channels are just out of control with consumerism!!
