Thank you! This is the best Catalyst (and Cobra Fortis) unboxing and assembly video on RUclips! California Trimmer should compensate you for this. Thank you also for recommending Triangle Reel Mowers because I am looking for a vendor. I will rewatch this several times because it is filled with so much good information. I also like the ceramic coating idea. I just had one of our cars detailed and coated and have all of the hybrid detailing spray to maintain the coating on the car so I can easily coat the mower when I get it. Thanks again and as a wise RUclipsr says - "Party On!"
Congratulations Dewayne on your new Catalyst. I was hoping to see you at RR's Turf Party on 9/15. I even wore the Cal Trimmer hat that I won just in your honor.
Great video, Dewayne. I love mine. It's a really good mower. I received my turf rake in the mail last week without any installation instructions, but there aren't too many parts. Hopefully, I can figure out the install. You may want to reduce the power and become accomstomed to feathering the drive clutch to prevent any jerkiness in your starts.
Sounds great. There are installation instruction for the turf rake and not sure why you didn’t receive it. If you would like to hold off on the install, you never know, Dwayne’s may have a video out shortly. 👍🏻
Can't wait until you dull it and give those 10 reels their first backlapping. I think it will be so easy on the cartridge system - at least I hope it will be. My McLane 25 is "feeling very dull" and I need to backlap it pronto. The biggest drawback to the Zorro Zoysia is the very high silica content of the grass blades that dull both my reel and rotary mowers quickly - especially when I give it a mini-scalp late in the summer to reset the height. Those tough grass blades also mean that the McLane floats more especially because I cut at 1+ inches.
That is definitely a huge advantage to the cartridge System. I also also debating on purchasing a 2nd reel. This was i can use one to scalp and have a fresh one there after. Also if i needed to have it grounded i wont have any downtime since ill have a second reel while its being serviced. Thanks for the comment and appreciate the support 👍🏻
Yes you can. There is a catch though. The rule is that a mower can be sold or ship to California in 2024 as long as the motors born on date is prior to 2024. Manufactures knew this which is why it was so difficult to get Honda and Briggs motors last year since manufactures wanted to stock up on these. Once these motors are gone that’s it. I would say that if you don’t buy a mower in the near future it will be almost impossible to purchase a new gas powered mower. My feeling is that it will be easier to purchase from A dealer outside of California and have it shipped vs purchasing from a dealer in California. I have heard from quite a few people say that there local dealer in California say that can’t order it. Hope this helps 👍🏻
I've been looking at this video more closely and I noticed that the front roller looks like it might be split just like the rear roller. Is it split and if so, do the two halves move independently?
So some states do not allow shipping of small gas engines to the state anymore, I hope you did not have to drive one state over to get it, nice looking mower and I hope you enjoy it, I was able to stock up my equipment prior to the deadline.
California is one of those states. For us here in California it’s based on the born on date of the engine. As long as it was manufacture before 2024 it’s good to go. This is one of the reasons why manufactures were buying up so many motors from Briggs and Honda so they can stockpile them to allow for sale into 2024. The day will come where they run out and only electric will be allowed to be sold. 👍🏻
@@dwaynesworldlawnI went to my local lawnmower shop in Southern California that is a cal trimmer dealer on Saturday to Put in an order and they told me I was the sixth person to want to order the catalyst but they can’t get them. So glad I found this video. I will be calling tomorrow morning

Thank you Mark for the very nice compliment!!! I’m glad you liked it and glad i can guide you to a great dealer in trianglereelmowers 👍🏻
Don’t forget the hour / RPM meter. I learned that from you. The 25” looks like a beast! Congrats Dwayne .
On order. lol. Just had to decide which one. 👍🏻
Thanks, been waiting for this video like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Can’t wait to see this beast hit the turf.
Thank you, believe it or not i still haven’t mow with it 😱. More videos to come 👍🏻
Congratulations Dewayne on your new Catalyst. I was hoping to see you at RR's Turf Party on 9/15. I even wore the Cal Trimmer hat that I won just in your honor.
It’s a little difficult based on the distance but would have loved to have been there. Lee and the guys are reel rollers are awesome people 👍🏻
I’m jealous too! I hope you enjoy your new Catalyst! I can’t wait to see how long it takes to switch out the cartridges.
They are heavy so we will see.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Dwayne, I could see the shine in your eyes with your mower. Congrats for your new acquisition!
Love it. Thank you Robert for the continued support!!! 👍🏻
I have the same mower with the verticutter and love it! Congratulations
Awesome!!! Stay tuned for more content

Great video. I'm deciding between this and the Rolox to purchase by the end of this year. Curious to hear what else you think.
Sounds great. Both good choices and hope i can provide some insight to help with your decision. 👍🏻
wohoo-thanks. epic ~ciao~
Thank you !!!
I’m in California as well. Can you get the Catalyst shipped to CA with the current restrictions on gas mowers? Thank you.

It is split. I will highlight this in my next video as i want to do a complete overview
@@dwaynesworldlawn Thanks - I can't wait for the review and the first mow or was it a verticut?
@@geomark8851 i have a couple of things planned. Stay tuned
