Curious to know how easy (or not) it is to set the reel to bed knife so that it cuts paper? Is the process straight forward (ie can be done in a few minutes or less) or does it require a lot of work to dial it in?
Guy I didn’t see the option on the website to add the HOC to the mower. Is that going to be an option? That seems like an important option especially if targeted toward new reel mower users
X17 comes standard with grass catcher, HOC gauge, Honda/briggs engine and for 2025 will come standard with the grooved roller. X is definitely an upgrade from the S, but the S is a great option for people who just want the basics!
Yeah helps save on shipping and base cost. To be honest, I don’t use a catcher most of the time. Really only scalping or if I have to cut a ton off and don’t want a mess
Great video TJ! This mower is just what everyone’s been looking for!
Price is wild for a powered reel mower. Awesome to be able to help grow the reel mowing community to a larger audience
I ordered one and I think I'll add a black clutch cover. Great mower to partner with my R26
I saw your pics on the product page for Rolux. Congrats!
very similar to a Scott Bonnar what we had in Australia
and it's no coincidence. The original design took the best of Scott Bonnar and, we think, improved on it. I have an SB and I love it.
I hear your comment about 6 blade for zoysia above 1 inch… what do you think about empire zoysia under an inch? 6 or 9 blade?
Never thought I'll see a South African mover in the US
Proudly SA
Wouldn’t the price of be the same after adding all the things like a catcher and hoc?
Yes. If you want all of that, you want to look into the x series. This provides an option to get into it for less and work your way up

Adjusting the height is a simple, single turn knob. Setting the reel to bedknife takes a maximum of 5 minutes.

@@RMJAMR Pretty sure it should be. I'm a lawnmower mechanic so I'll have to ask the clever tech people to look into it.

come on honey,, it's only $1000
X17 vs s17?

Ok so how was the cut we mean the reel mower not the video 😂
Keep you coming back for more 😉 cut is exactly what you’d expect! Posting some shorts soon
FYI - your link doesn’t work
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@TheLawnDadin for one, thanks!
So no grass catcher? Guess that’s how they lower the price
It is one of the ways.

why is your lawn so green and your neighbor's lawn brown 😂
Haha. Theirs is dormant. I overseeded with rye to keep it green for content throughout the winter
