A lot of comments about how painful it seems to remove the cartridges. Yes, it did take time, but this was my first time doing it. Also, this machine wasn’t specifically designed to use other cartridges as it’s main feature. Also think about it, how often am I going to be changing cartridges? Once a month at the most? Anyway, the protea is far better for cutting at greens height and doesn’t float on top. The Swardman is great for cartridges though 👌🏽
I’m a groundskeeper at a country club in the summer when I’m home from college, it’s currently winter and it’s a drag. With you being in Australia where it’s summer, it’s almost like I can enjoy the treats of summer thru your videos and it’s awesome. Thanks for all the good stuff man
Taking time and Fiddling with the mower whilst taking bits off is all part of the enjoyment if you ask me and like you said it gets you out of the office! Win win
Also, go to your local bike shop and get some master-link pliers. Bike chains have the same link on them and the pliers makes it SUPER easy to get the link out and back in. Might just work for your chain...
After the brush, I’d give the lawn a light water to settle the soil back down. Also perfect strategy when mowing after a topdress - light water, then mow. No soil pickup, no blunt bottom blade or cylinder.

Does the yellow scalp go away over time if you cut at that same height, or do you need to cut lower than the height you want to live at so the leaf grows back up to where you want it?
I wouldn’t really call 48 minutes to change from mower to brush handy... seems like the swardman is much faster in that area. But what do I know, I use a Mclane 🤣
Can see the advantage of the Swardman now, seems much easier to switch cartridges. The Protea is probably a better mower overall, but the Swardman seems much more convenient.
hi mate, good vids. just wanted to ask you - they way you have used sand, does this not cause sand to get on your clothes/feet/shoes etc. if you are or the kids are playing/walking on the grass?
So what ya telling me is to hire a guy to mow the lawn. You lost me at undo the nut that connects to the bolt 😂😂 Keep up the top videos champ!! Lovin them!
Fair root around to swap out those attachments! It’s turned me off the Protea coz I’m a wimp 🤣 I’m sure it’ll get easier the more you do it. Certainly not as easy as the Swardman though. TifTuf is going to look amazing
Nah, I seriously love it man. That's why I've chose to do it. It's not for the sake of putting really, it's more for the fun of cutting. Sounds weird I know, but I love it.
Hi am on the Gold coast, my lawn is couch and i have heavy clay soil. Should i use 90-10 mix after core airation, compost or Just gypsum ? Thanks for the nice videos and tips.
Not quite as easy as the Swardman. Almost seems like if you could add weight to the Swardman it may be a better option. I don’t own one, but I wonder if there is a way to fill the rear roller with something to add weight?
Yeah nah, the engine wouldn’t be able to handle it if I added more weight. It already was bogging down a bit when I added those bricks. In all honesty, how often to you think I’d use the brush?
Look like "hard yakka" same as what i wear for work! Could be wrong tho. King gee make a similar pair there all roughly the same. www.totaltools.com.au/121206-hard-yakka-size-9-3056-wheat-lace-zip-safety-boots-y60200whe9?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8buioKLT5wIVyBwrCh3LHQMnEAQYBSABEgK6CvD_BwE
You could also use that attachment to brush your hair in the morning. Save hours. Hell, do the whole neighbourhood’s hair. Start a business. I just made you a millionaire. You’re welcome 😊
Surely a man of your wisdom needs to develop a mower far mor Efficient to exchange attachments ( and other atttachments like airrator etc )for the average Aussie who buys from Bunnings ....... contact swordsman to do a joint venture ...... thank me later
How do your neighbours react to you do they think your trying to show them up with your lawn or? Especially since it looks like they don’t care very much their lawns never look great compared to yours I’m supprised on the left of tour house you didn’t take over from their driveway to your land
#firstworldproblems hey? It’s honestly not that bad. Personally I enjoy the experience, but I know everyone wouldn’t like to spend that much time. It will get quicker the more I do it though. I was figuring things out during the timer

Hi lawn tip you’ve never made a video of a backyard clean
The transition at around 10 min was by far the best one I've seen
Morning coffee, lawn tips ,sunshine perfect start to the day👍🇦🇺👍
Funny because in America (Chicago) I think the same thing with my night cap. ☕🍺 cheers

The cartridge swap out with a Swardman looks far, far superior. What a massive pain in a neck with that new mower!
As a golfer I am so happy you are doing this!
Taking time and Fiddling with the mower whilst taking bits off is all part of the enjoyment if you ask me and like you said it gets you out of the office! Win win
I miss my old Bermuda. You can beat it to the ground and it will laugh and come back stronger.
It seems like a pain in the ass to use that brush attachment. Oh well, it might be quicker after a few times. The TifTuf is looking good.
Yeah I think it will get quicker. For me it’s not a worry because it’s nice to get outside instead of been in the office 😂
I love Australian houses, no messing around nice simple layout.
It's not like that everywhere, for example go on street view and look at the houses in Davoren Park, South Australia
Holy crap what a phaff around to get that brush in!
the half round moon thing is a woodruff key. And you should get some motorcycle chain lube for the chains, its sticky and will stay on longer.
I’d return the protea and keep the swardman better suited to you and your needs. How you going to edge the Bermuda when the swardmann gone?
nice video man! pumped to see the lawn!
Also, go to your local bike shop and get some master-link pliers. Bike chains have the same link on them and the pliers makes it SUPER easy to get the link out and back in. Might just work for your chain...

Matt's lawn starting to look good in the back ground 👍 whens time for a video?
I’ll have to do one soon. Couple of recent rain storms have really brightened it up!
So did the neighbors to the left see how awesome the lawn looks and said take over the entire patch including their section of the yard (with tiftuf)?
Just buy a 2nd mower just for the brush attachment lol
I legit have no interest in using this tool on my own lawn but its just for some reason satisfying seeing the whole restoration, good work brother
That looks like a major pain in the couch!!

Matts kikuyu is looking green AF!
It looks like you are just sweeping up all the top dressing you put down last week. Will it need another top dressing of sand next week.
Looking great!
Are you planning on doing a update on the kentucky blue lawn at your brothers place at any stage?
Does the yellow scalp go away over time if you cut at that same height, or do you need to cut lower than the height you want to live at so the leaf grows back up to where you want it?
I bet that's the first and last time you use that brush attachment bro! 48 minutes! Would take less than 5 minutes to just use a broom!
Haha I think next time I’ll be quicker 😂
I’ll be using the groomer in there for sure.
That looked like a lot of fun changing the roller. Wondering how many times you will do that 😳
I really like the videos and I can’t wait to see more I’m subbed
You should get yourself an Allett next.
Ben why don’t you maintain the small section that’s all overgrown to the left of your place?
I wouldn’t really call 48 minutes to change from mower to brush handy... seems like the swardman is much faster in that area. But what do I know, I use a Mclane 🤣

Need one or each, and a groomer ;)
Powerball ?? :)
Josh Baker yeah, especially for your average joe. Personally I’d go the Protea for what I’m using it for
hi mate, good vids. just wanted to ask you - they way you have used sand, does this not cause sand to get on your clothes/feet/shoes etc. if you are or the kids are playing/walking on the grass?
Looks like a big faff... the swardman was easier?
So what ya telling me is to hire a guy to mow the lawn. You lost me at undo the nut that connects to the bolt 😂😂
Keep up the top videos champ!! Lovin them!
Comparison between brushes including swap over times ??
Fair root around to swap out those attachments! It’s turned me off the Protea coz I’m a wimp 🤣 I’m sure it’ll get easier the more you do it. Certainly not as easy as the Swardman though. TifTuf is going to look amazing
Haha, it takes a bit. I was slow though because it was my first try. I could get it to 20mins now that I know all the ins and outs.
Do you have any products that will make my hair regenerate?
Sprinkle some chicken manure on there, heard it works wonders.
What size is the Protea?
For some one that has never used a reel mower or seen one in person (me). That looked like you were building a spaceship
What is your shoe brand?
Neighbour: “Is he seriously mowing his fucking lawn again!?”
I don’t know why I watch these
Ever thought that an artificial grass putting green might be a better idea? Keeping that TifTuf at 4-6mm will be a reel chore (pun).
Nah, I seriously love it man. That's why I've chose to do it. It's not for the sake of putting really, it's more for the fun of cutting. Sounds weird I know, but I love it.
Whats your thoughts on buying an old cylinder mower? I see someone has an old electric scott bonnar from the 50s on facebook.
What do you reckon you have spent on camera equipment and your lawn that you count have spent on your kids and wife? Asking for a friend.
Hi am on the Gold coast, my lawn is couch and i have heavy clay soil. Should i use 90-10 mix after core airation, compost or Just gypsum ?
Thanks for the nice videos and tips.
Gypsum only works on sodic soils.
How's your bros lawn??
converting the brush is well thought out😵🙊
First
Brett sucks
What kind of boots are you wearing? I like the zipper side for quick on and off
They are Hard Yakka boots
@@LawnTips might get a set they comfy?
Ben, How tight should the reel be on the bed knife please?
Tony Norman you should be able to get it so it cuts paper with basically no contact
Thanks Ben
Try reconnecting the chain on one of the sprockets rather than between, then the holes will line up.
Smart, I like it
@@LawnTips years working on dirt bikes...
Bit too much of a scalpy scalp hahahah, looking good bro.
Wow that's a tonne of work for just a brush. Maybe worth doing for a scarifier.
Not quite as easy as the Swardman. Almost seems like if you could add weight to the Swardman it may be a better option. I don’t own one, but I wonder if there is a way to fill the rear roller with something to add weight?
Yeah nah, the engine wouldn’t be able to handle it if I added more weight. It already was bogging down a bit when I added those bricks.
In all honesty, how often to you think I’d use the brush?
Little moon bit is called a "keyway"
trisminc keyway is what the slot is. Woodruff key is the moon bit.
its actually a woodruff key, and the slot is the keyway but yeah your right
Good to know the technical terms haha. As you can tell it’s not my forte
It’s pronounced techanogical thank you.
moon bit is a woodruff key just in case it eff's right off into a drain you know what to search for on the internet
An impact driver would get that reel off in no time ;)
As well as some master link pliers haha
Why is there still sand on the driveway?
There ain't, just stained, I need to wash it down
You know i cut my lawn when it is at my ankles, i cut until half way up my ankles. Lawn care cuts his lawn when its at the ants ankles
First Richard
The Swardman cartridge swap out is max 5mins....
Yo m8 when do we get more vids ... also hows your bros yard ....
Joseph Schaffer vid out in 15 mins 😉
Bro’s yard is unfortunately pretty bad because of the drought
4:27 There is about $50 worth of Noculate in catcher hahaha
First Aussie 🙃
48 minutes? Takes longer to swap out attachments than to cut entire yard. Seems like a royal pain.
Should have kept your Swardman that swap would have took you a few minutes.
To be honest I’d rather spend the time for the quality of this machine. As I’ve said, a more true cut and nice weight
The unseen tapes: cartridge switch! 😅😅
Surely protea could have just made a quick interchanging machine 🥵
It’s not that bad. I’ll get quicker haha. I was learning as I went along.
Definitely will get quicker but still, could have made it where it just comes apart from the inside without removing anything like the chains etc.
That attachment change is a pisser offer compared to the swardman.
What kinda boots are those??
Look like "hard yakka" same as what i wear for work! Could be wrong tho. King gee make a similar pair there all roughly the same. www.totaltools.com.au/121206-hard-yakka-size-9-3056-wheat-lace-zip-safety-boots-y60200whe9?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8buioKLT5wIVyBwrCh3LHQMnEAQYBSABEgK6CvD_BwE
Get a Allett. Takes 2 minutes to change the cartridges
Those mowers are a little light for my liking
Lawn Tips light? The weight?
Two hours to swap the brush in and out is way too long, and not worth the effort.
That change out looks painful Benno 😥
Way too much work. Makes me appreciate the swordsman
You could also use that attachment to brush your hair in the morning. Save hours. Hell, do the whole neighbourhood’s hair. Start a business. I just made you a millionaire. You’re welcome 😊
Is it sissy grass
First Texan
Connor Ward would take that long to change out the reel.

Grass is literally 5mm mate it does not need a cut
I'd have that thing in the trash if I had to fiddle that much

First and last henk
Notice me dad
Ok
To much dicking around to change that up . This mowers for the retired person who has time
Fist
What’s going on with your fist?
Lawn Tips hurting a little after watching you put that chain on. Just wanted to let you know 😉
Triangle REEL Mowers haha, I see what you did there
Fiddly diddly... Put that on a 👕
Smart man
i feel sorry for anyone that has this long to care about there lawn
Too much work.
Far too much effort
I enjoyed it 👌🏽
