Still using the push mower my grandfather bought in 1934 my father used it for 50 years, and now I use it still cutting the same lawns it has cut for 84 years it is a Qualcast Panther fully adjustable ball races with steel roller and grassbox.
I learn to mow with a mower like that when I was 6 years old . I wanted to go swimming, it cost a quarter. My dad told me to get a job, so I took the lawn mower and mow the neighbor's yard for a quarter. Best lesson I ever had. When I was 18, I had two cars, a truck, a motorcycle, and a bass boat and proud to say my parents never gave me anything, but they never stopped me from having what I could pay for. I earned it and it started with a mower like that in the late 50s.
As I look back at it now, I mowed a section about 12 by 12, the front yard. Come to think of it, I didn't even know they had a backyard.
When I was a kid we had a huge yard and one push mower. My dad and I used to take turns pushing that nightmare of a mower. It was an all day event. Eventually my dad broke down and bought a reel mower with a gas engine on it. What a luxury. Fast forward 60 years and now I'm hot rodding around on an even bigger property on my Husqvarna Zero turn while drinking beer. Times have changed.
An ice cold can of milk (Beer) and a ZTR. Doesn't get any better. I love mowing my yard.
Basically, if you have a large lawn, get a gas. If you have a medium or small lawn and view cutting the grass as a chore, get a gas. If you have a medium or small lawn and enjoy maintaining your lawn, get a reel mower. A reel mower forces you to pay a lot more attention to your lawn as you need to remove sticks, debris, weeds, so you will end up with a much healthier lawn, but you will spend more time in the process.
My kids talked me into buying these for them... promising to use it as a fitness activity... they were excited for a day or two, now they hang unused in the garage... I LOVE that they are making this improved design! The other rotary designs like those built by Scotts simply can't mow tall grass, you have to really keep up with it, this design handles taller grass.. bonus!
I have a reel mower just like this... I improved it by hooking up a 4 HP gas engine to it... now, it works phenomenal!
I liked that the kids were eager to mow because of all the ease, motivation, and fun it looked. Kudos!
“Look at the lawn, it’s terrible!”
Good ole Canadian wholesome honesty.
Vlad The Inhaler hi
Rotary blade mowers were once touted as the cleanest cut mower the choice of golf courses. I once had a self propelled gas engine rotary mower. Today's mower tears the end of the grass blade turning it brown unless you sharpen the mower blade often.
We need permaculture areas everywhere so insect life can return and flourish in our cities. This obsession with lawns is madness. Fair play for using an ecological push mower though. It's healthy and environmental.
i like the reel mower, on very well maintained lawns which are very flat they do a very good job. But on very bumpy thick grass the wheels can jam up fast as you push. But i still like them and it is fun
That's how we did it all the time in the 50s I remember. This mower seems to work good.
One of these and hand clippers for trim work.
I have one of these and it has exactly one buttpower. It has its merits, such as cutting already-short grass with little noise. Gets most of the grass cut in one pass. Long weeds will not be cut. Pick up every little twig first because this mower will stop dead in its tracks. The blades never contact metal, only grass, so they don't get dull. This is good for kids to use because it's safe, teaches them how to work, and is non threatening, and exercise.
Best thing ever, great work-out and your lawn looks great afterwards.
I have one as well and have been using it for the last 4 seasons to cut about 1/3 of an acre. It's really good on flat/even ground, but a pain if the ground is uneven with little dips. It cuts grass and broad leafs very well, but won't cut anything even slightly woody or tall, like grass seed stalks. It's also not good in high grass as you could see in the video, it grinds to a quick halt if you have it's cut height set too low. That requires you to make multiple passes, reducing the height with each pass if you like to keep your grass short or cutting more then once per week during peak growing season.
Given it's limitations I still give it a 8/10 as it has been well used and continues to cut just as well as it did the first day I got it. My only complaint is that the height adjustment knob kept coming off of mine even after using a strap wrench to tighten it and one of the pins for the handle popped out and was lost within my first month of ownership.
Works great! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.
I like it. My great grandmother had one. It cut so pretty.
Completely unfair test. It's not designed to cut grass that long- no cylinder mower is. They are used for maintaining a good finish on well maintained short lawns.
I got one of these fiskars ones this year. As far as reel mowers are considered, it cuts tall grass better than any other reel mower does. I've got an old one from the 1940's, and it's tough to use, no matter what.
I've noticed that i tend to keep better care of my lawn with the fiskars than I did with gas because it's so easy to push, and i just do sections as needed until I'm tired, without screwing with the mower. About 6,000 square feet of lawn.
That's the nicest reel mower I've ever seen.
"neighbors say we are crazy"
I noticed that many (especially older) people say that push mowers are nonsense and it can't work, but I think they are crazy, not you, they just want to make noise and show that they have nice mower. Those classic grass cutters are stupid, it needs 2 kW motor to cut something, it's heavy and it's more like smashing grass than cutting. Ofcourse this push mower is not good for everything, but when you have some not that tall grass, you can use it without some stupid noise, cables or benzin, it's actually ingenious. You can buy these with electric motor, the point is that this design is more effective and it's even more silent than classic cutters.
This is how commercials should be. Straight forward
I have one of them and it works very good, my neighbor made fan of me but he is the one with oily stinky and noisy machine. I have a big backyard. Good exercise as well I take a nice shower after that.
Considering it does not use any energy source (save for us pushing) these work quite well I find. As per the lawn, well, most people put waaaaay too much effort and money to make them look "perfect". The local populace of rabbit does well enough for my lawn.

มิสนี แซ่บเวอร์คะ
memories of mowing Dad's Estate - it was 2.6 acres!! I had a variety of mowers - all 27 of them, and most were Reel, some petrol, but mostly Push. I preferred the Push ones, especially my late 40s Webb mower, which was almost too heavy to lift. Amazingly I was taunted about the Reel ones, but whatever grass was too much for the Rell mower, would also choke Dad's 16 HP tractor mower. Mowing was my exercise!!! To mow the entire block estate Manually, took more than 3 days, but ever drop of sweat.
I love how you called them "Buttercups" That's so awesome. They're called Dandelions here in the US. :)
Good work buddy! Do not pay attention to lazy parent who prefer the kids playing on the console or doing facebook the all day. This is a good example how our kids cooperate at home from early years!
Look at the little rascals! This is free advertisement
I have been watching youtube videos of Fiskars reel mowers and other ones, then I decided to buy Fiskars reel mower today. I finished the setup, and can't wait to try it out tomorrow. I see your name is in Japanese :) I'm japanese living in Canada. Thought I'd drop a comment ;)
cut well except for those tall weeds it rolled right over at the beginning but that is typical with any cylinder style reel mowers. so quiet and light is what I like about it and no gas or fumes.
There is a function on the top of the Fiskars Reel mower to blow the grass out the back or blow it out the front.
If you cut tall grass, have it blow out the back so you dont RECUT the same grass over and over and you will have a better experience.
thanks for the upload, i always wondered how well these things worked
I used to work at a golf course mowing. I pulled a 5-reel Jacobsen gang (12'-13' wide) for the rough and we had another guy come back over the rough with a rotary mower to knock down the tails and tall areas.
My yard is just over an acre so using a 20" reel mower would take forever and a day. A residential multi-reel gang wouldn't work either because I have 5 maple trees and two pine trees in my yard. Reel mowers don't like small sticks or pine cones.
Looks really good and inventive👋. Actually reminds me of a snow blower. My gazoline cutter stopped recently so I bought the Gardena 400 looking forward to testing it🤗
How's it working 9 years later?
it is 12 years now, can we have the same kid mowing again now?
I got this mower,too. But I think it suits tall lawn only. hard to push for shot lawn.
Good in the beginning, a year later the lawn get sponge.
If you go over the tall weeds few times, they will go down as well. You will need to maintenance the height of the lawn.
I use a grass whip to knock down the tall stuff before I mow. It helps a lot.

@@Shindinru I use a machete or a kitchen knife.
Kids: " Wow, this VR game looks so real" 😂
The plantain weeds (the ones you ran over and only took out the seed heads at about 30 seconds in) have seeds that you can use to make metamucil like gel.... metamucil uses a close relative of this plant.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Definitely getting this one . If your son's can push it so can I. 💌
How much...
Loved the kids so excited about it
I put 7 of these type of mowers all tied together, and pull it behind my farmall cub, i mow much more and much faster than before and save thousands a year in gas
What a great loan mower. I bought one too
You could mow your lawn any time of day without disturbing the neighbors.
Bas ok za klince pogotovo nemogu si nista napravit a ispusu visak energije i naprave nesto korisno.
Thanks Dad !
best review on Fiskar's Push Mower....others just talk and talk.....
There should be mutant ninja turtles somewhere nearby, the crackling of the geiger counter hints at this. =)
Unfortunately Bahia grass seed stalks pop up over 8" tall in a 24 hour period. There's no maintaining the height of those. I would love to use this mower but it just won't work for my lawn. My neighbor mowed my grass Sunday morning and by Monday afternoon there were stalks up everywhere.
I just got recommended a 9 year old video about a push lawn mower
Wow, who would have thought
This is called being tight!
How exactly? That fiskars model is $200 he could have easily bought a gas powered mower for that price. Some people dont mind working a little harder for the same outcome. Once he gets that lawn a little lower you won't be able to tell the difference what kind of mower was used. I have 16" Scott's reel mower and I'd bet I have the nicest lawn in my neighborhood.
Good exercise too
Grate video guys
Is that Washington state
Yes nice toy for the kids. when they loose their fingers it will stop them biting their nails
Because other mowers don’t have blades...🙄
Back in the day....my dad never allowed us to play in the yard when he was mowing. I see people with no common sense allowing the kids to play with tools and power equipment. I have a neighbor who mows over any hazard with an open power mower chute, which sends shrapnel flying. He never picks up debris. I go inside. He's always waiting too long between each mowing before attacking his wet 8" tall dog patch he calls a lawn. The turf looks terrible. Dull blade.
I love these tiyps
What is a loan mower? Is it something the bank uses to reduce loans given out?
I been mowing with a gas mower since I was 7 I'm 12 know and still have it works great
Sponsored by the new green deal! Soon to be an electric limited edition with hyper loop power, spins the blades at 10,000 rpm...not for use with croc shoes!
That was awesome. I'm going to get that lawn mower. It's a traditional and good for the environment
i usally spray my baldes with Wd 40 to make it even easier to push
Great test, if it can cut that yard it can cut any yard (and mine looks very similar) :)
you don't need a lawn mower with that yard, you need a tiller, and new sod. Then, a reel type mower will work as it's designed.
สนใจน่าจะมีภาาษาไทยด้วย จะได้รู้ราสั่งชื้อที่ไหน
these things actually work surprisingly well however it doesn't seem to do a good job on crab grass or weeds. also if anything is over the height of the guard in front it wont cut it it will just push it down
OMG I love your channel mate.
Does the lawn mower have radiation? Geiger counter keeps going off
How much
We support bees by having butter cups, dandelions, clovers :) !
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 wow what a fucking hippie
These mowers are nice but they’re open so they’re very dangerous catcher make sure you’re younger kids are inside catch you almost had a problem with one kid trying to mow over another if that other kid it Lost her balance she could’ve fallen into that blades I repeat they are good mowers though just dangerous you must use caution
The bigger problem is parents who are overly cautious and prevent their kids from developing by avoiding all things that could hurt them. Humans beings are inherently anti-fragile meaning they can only grow to their full strength and potential when under a healthy amount of challenge and stress. Just like the trees will never grow big and strong without the wind and varying temperatures. A cannabis plant grows bigger buds when you snap the stems and let them heal. Today we have parents growing their kids up to be adult pu$&is. No free range childhood or unsupervised okay anymore and we wonder why the go off to college and demand safe spaces when confronted with opinions and ideas they don't like.
I have this mower and the blades are not very sharp and probably wouldn't hurt anyone unless you purposefully tried. The part where the blade grinds against the metal is underneath and hard to make contact with. This wouldn't hurt anyone unless you stuck your hand in there and then had someone push it hard
hey, get all the kids to play around the moving blades...yaaaay! so much fun!
bignoobs yeah, I bet your kids sit inside on the Xbox or iPad. Meanwhile, these kids are learning to take pride in something, they are learning about work, they will learn about time scheduling and time management - when they have to mow and allowing time to mow., They will learn about tooling and maintenance, they will learn to save pocket money, they will learn about spending money, they will learn about pride when they look back at what they completed. They are outdoors, exercising and contributing to the family, and if they hurt themselves they will learn about workplace health and safety.....
Now quick. Your child’s iPad is going flat, put it back on charge before he has an ADD mental flip and throws it at mum or sets himself.
I love the caption... no gas no cords... really who woulda thunk it.
secret is not to let the grass grow too tall,
I can say in the mowing season I see no one using these things Push mower = Luddite
Does it have stainless steel blades or is it going to rust to shit after a few uses?

Hi, Brian!
I am Seiji.
It is tried to discover your You Tube and it is enjoyed.
It seems that children are growing vigorously.
Before having seen for a long time, did your forehead become large fairly?
Seiji-san, Hope you are doing well! Brian has no hair now, completely bald!
We would need a relay team for my yard
it doesn't seem to cut very good though.
Eco friendly lawn mower but big gas guzzling truck in driveway.

I've always wanted to try those
Reel mowers are a little like having two girlfriends. At first it's a bit exciting but then it just becomes a big chore.
It's really easy to sharpen them. slap some polishing compound on the blades and spin them for a bit, or push it up and down the road a little bit. Do that once or twice a year and you are good.
The Fiskars one is the easiest one to push. The blades are geared to leave a slight diagonal cut mark in the lawn, which is what makes them easier to push. If you get a good rhythm going, you can make a cool pattern on your lawn. The Scott's ones are the best version of the old style, but different blade speed.
The old ones from the 1940's are sped-up 5-6 times as fast, which is what made them so hard to use.
I've been looking for this for years. Can you give me less variety. One of a kind. I'd like a lot of help with this. Give it to me. Thank you.
Thats just an oldschool mower we had one oldschool model like this when i was a kid
Yes but the price point of this mower is just ridiculous; just like a good gasoline mower. Must be magic steel.
Dogs could do it it's that easy?
if i'm ever feeling Amish i'll try
هل هى موجوده بمصر وإذا كانت موجوده في أي مكان
i started to get upset when they didn't tell the kids to get the hell out of the way
yeah kids should never learn to do anything. That way they will be kept safe, till their an adult. And still don’t know how to do anything.

Do you want an eco friendly edger or trimmer too? Good luck
Ryobi makes fantastic edgers and trimmers, not that hard to find.
