Who Are You?
I’m a part time mower guy from Sydney, Australia and I enjoy making videos of yard transformations.
Why do you do...?
I haven’t been doing this forever and I don’t profess to know everything.
Happy to hear alternate methods and efficient ways of doing things.
If I had someone coming to my place to mow I would pick up the kids toys and get them and anything else in the yard out of his way. Cannot believe how a customer expects to get a free removalist as well as a mower man
Not that he expects to have a "free remover" this customer abuses the gardener's goodwill.
Here in the USA, your lawn service just cancels on you for that unless you are willing to pay extra for that. Homeowners with pets, kids, and people that hoard pay a lot extra.
YES I TOTALLY AGREE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INCONSIDERATE DUMBARSES .
Meanwhile I just pick up a few things because it;
a) takes 5 minutes,
b) I'm charging for my time and
c) I'm not a sook, I'm a grown man and a professional.
The way I see it Tim, it's up to the person who is holding the trimmer all day as to what make and model of trimmer (s)he uses, I'm 6'3" ,265+ lbs so what may be good for a small person may not be good for me, but to each his or her own.
You did a great job of knocking down the high grass and hopefully the home owner will be able to keep it decent now, sometimes it takes a professional to get the place under control, and you are a professional
Yes,
Please. I would love to see all the new lawn equipment.
You know Tim, people aren't thoughtful to their yard's. Some can't do anything that's when you excuse them and the other's need to be educated. You're a good soul doing the tough jobs effortlessly.
I can remember when the 'Weedeater' electric trimmer came on the market back in the 1970's. It was so popular, just about everyone went out and got one - at least in the U.S.A. For it's time, it was a game changer in lawn care.
Really nice. Looked neat and clean. No junk in the grass
Mowing the back like you're on speed was hysterical. I agree with you about the trimmers, if it feels good in your hands for weight and length that's what really matters. Great job tidying up for the homeowner, yard looks ready for a party 😀😀
貳零嘴臉
Really enjoy your videos. It would be interesting to see different lawn equipment.
Tim you did a great job on making that yard look so much better.
Thanks for the mower man fix 😀
Fences everywhere do Australian’s not like their neighbors.Good job Tim🤗
Super small blocks in most modern estates, so people guard their privacy.
PG Tips Grass looked awfully thick done a great job as always . Lovely edging job till next time . 👏👏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love to see a closer look at lawn equipment Tim. Maybe even a raffle for a Darwin’s Grip if you can find one!
Very hard to get at the moment!
Hello everyone tim good vidéo
Good job on that crazy tall, thick, lush grass.
Enjoyed the video Tim, always great to see you do your magic on a lawn, the lawn looks so much better, stay safe and have a great week.
Great to to see you Tim been missing your uploads . Thanks..
Thanks mate✌️
Morning Tim, what a great difference again. The grass looks quite healthy even after the cutting. The house seems to be so nice, but not appreciated. People refer to picking up the toys and removing garden furniture, they can't even cut the grass, let alone putting away a hose after watering, I wonder what was watered. But it is all looking so nice and tidy, I hope they will realise that they are blessed to have a lovely home. I don't particularly care for the dark bricks, I would paint them if possible. Nice work Tim, hope you are satisfied. Go well kind regards.
I am retired and live in an apartment so totally impartial as far as the machinery goes. I just enjoy the process and the differences in the before and afters.
Thanks so much!
Watching your comparison between the Stihl and the Honda I certainly looked like the Honda was cutting quite a bit more easier. I can understand the weight and balance. Beilliant job and like the comparison part of the video. 🤗🇦🇺
Such lush, green grass. We could do with some of that here in Perth.
Another great job. Stay Safe 🙏👍
👍🏻 job Tim. Really tough 😓 grass. 😊 🌞
Great job
Perhaps I am just a neatness freak, but it's not rocket science to remove stuff in the grass if you know there is someone coming to cut the grass for you. And does anyone believe that it is possible to get a nice, thick and lush lawn from Kikuyu grass? I had it in my old house and no matter what I did with it, it was rubbish. The Sir Walter I have now in my new house is awesome in comparison.
People who let their property get in this state simply don't care about anyone else. I literally have to first walk the yard checking for equipment destroying metal/timber/concrete left laying in the growth.
why not try a shindaiwa whipper snipper
I use my UMK425 with the quality harness included. Changes the balance once again, also dont feel any of the weight, as the harness carries most of it.
Also adjusting the handle up or down the shaft could change the balance also.
Great as always!! Thanks for all the info!
Proof!!!!!!!!!! there is a Milwaukee m18x2 mower in the country! I just caught a glimpse.............sigh won't be able to buy one for 2 yrs, but at least I saw one
Fabulous work, Tim. Just catching up on favourite posts. Not been well with MS problems. A pity that debris, toys, etc weren’t moved to make your life easier but what you achieved was still outstanding. I’m sure the client appreciated the outcome. All the very best to you and Nicole. Catching up gradually and see you on your next presentation 🌟🌟🌟
Good Job Looks Nice!!!
Nice job Timothy! Long grass doesn't stand a chance against you. Hope you and Nicole are well. Cheers!
Thanks mate! Hope you are well too ✌️
Good video, just keep doing what your doing and carry on,👍👍👍😎😎😎
Excellent job as always Tim lovely work 😀
I like that you compared the trimmers. Good insight and a fair, IMO, comparison. Yes, in end it's up to the user. Enjoy your channel very much! Howdy from the Heart of Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
You did a real nice job there. Thanks. You had a hard yard to do. Well done.
I am with u on that
That was some thick grass! It came out looking very nice!
Nice vid man, 100% want to see some more awesome content from the Jims Trade Day, looks cool as.
Another great video. I like the use of a remote microphone. It makes the audio so much better.
Glad you noticed! I like it much better too. Gives constant audio level as I’m not moving away from the mic
@@timthelawnmowerman And my weird hearing appreciates it! Otherwise, I spend most of the time watching trying to control the balance.
Lovely update .
Thanks for all the information, I enjoy watching you. Verla here❤
Very informative Tim, it was interesting to see the different trimmers in use. That grass was crazy thick and long good you didn't have to take it to the tip. Rain event is putting it mildly, 13 dead in Q.LD 9 dead in N.S.W. Love the rotary scissor and they dont need string.I watched this video twice, stay safe and well. Hi from Queensland 🐨
Thanks Sue! Stay safe
@@timthelawnmowerman Hi and dry for us, thanks
Hi Mate well done have a day love from TEXAS
Perfect are always...
Q capricho parabéns om trabalho
"Don't just see someone using a bit of equipment and go hey that looks good" literally why I picked a mower and snipper 😂😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Bendiciones hijo, no dejo de admirar su lindo oficio 💖
Great job Tim well done mate 👍🇬🇧
Thanks!
Hi Tim
I'm running a FS94 and a Honda also. Like the quietness of the Honda but the 94 wins hands down for me. It's light and just seems so easy to use.
Keep up the great videos, like your work!
Don’t care about comparing trimmers, but I’ll watch anyway🤷🏻♀️. You always have good content. Relaxing, even if you have to pick up a degraded plastic hose.😧
Fantastic job👍
A Darwin grip might make a difference in the balance/weight distribution especially over a long day. Personal preference due to height, weight, type and length of grass, trimming or edging, length of day, etc.
No le hablen a la cámara, ya que por lo general, nosotros los abuelitos, que nos encantan uds, los vemos por salud, sin sonido☺️😘👍
wow nice job greeting one profession
This is awesome
Great job Tim👍👍👍👍👍
U all ways do a good job
How do know what to charge each job?
Very nice work.
Awesome work as always 😁
I been using the Honda for 6 or 7 years and I like it a lot.
Enjoyed your video from MISSISSIPPI in the USA!
Thanks so much!
I have the Stihl Kombi and it is crazy what that unit can do.
I think it should be extra cost for picking up trash toys and tree limbs.good job .stay safe.
you can hear the honda bog down if you listen closely but it did a great job. Both are solid machines.
Хорошая работа!
Hey there!!!!
You should be drying that good grass out to make hay!
Could make a sweet little load of bales out of that lot and sell them to a shepherd somewhere nearby!!!

Hello my friend how you doing today
I have used a Shindaiwa 2 stroke pro for 20 years, it’s been a great machine, took off the spark arrester, plenty of power, reliability is excellent.
Been stalking your yt and TikTok to see if you uploaded any more content from Jim’s. Would love to see more of that if possible. Great idea comparing the stihl and Honda.
Will do soon mate. ✌️
@@timthelawnmowerman legend
You forgot to put In the best clip from the Jim’s trade day 😅
Hi I have a still 94RC trimmer
Use EPI para vc se proteger como:Óculos, protetor de ouvido, luvas, calça, camisa comprida e protetor solar!Vejo que a maioria de vcs que trabalham neste ramo não usam!
I went and bought me a battery operated Worx. Not sure which one but I have a small yard and it works great for me. It does do good on the bigger stuff but I don’t have that as I take care of my yard weekly. Can’t remember what our other trimmer is, we bought it at Sears. But I can’t ever get it started and it’s way heavy for me. Another larger trimmer that’s battery operated I use at work is crap. The line sticks and you have to take it apart to fix it. Can’t remember the brand. So whatever feels right and works correctly for the person is what I say. No matter the brand. Great job as always Tim. Suggestion? Could you move the camera more often. It would be appreciated.
good job Tim gotta say the scissor trimmer looked painful 😁
That’s not what it’s designed for but I like to try things
I love the videos❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
Subscribed! Al Bladez sent me!
I hope you are checking for ticks
grouse work Tim mate that,s a good set if trimmers you showed us and for me something nice and light and yep i,m tall a nice Stihl trimmer will do and straight shaft i can use and in general bent shaft i do use occasionally mainly in a small yard is all and i have also used a Honda 4 stroke and wearing a Harness to take the weight of the motor and all off your arms often helps with some people unless they are as strong as Hercules though lol hehe!
Wow good job sobat 👍🏻
you should try the redmax bcz260ts its about as light as the stihl but more torque
Love your videos but I need new ones like this one.
As much as I love the lawnvideos, it is fun with some other content related too. And I keep pushing for a setup video, of the truck and such :-) Just found your instagrams, they are very nice little bits.
Thanks mate ✌️
They should have cement walk way around the house.
Hi Tim, heard about your channel from Al Bladez! Just subscribed 🙂
Mira Tim si vez este comentario por favor traduce ya k somos muchos países de español k te vemos para apoyarte con likes en verdad me gusta el trabajo de AL BLADEZ es muy minucioso para trabajar y ordena los árboles arregla las ramas deja muy hermoso los jardines
Hey Tim really enjoyed the two weed eaters not sure who is the winner but I guess that’s up to the individual. I had a two stroke weedeater but with a curve head and I was definitely having engine problems because I’ve never use the weedeater much but I did not like the curve head I felt like I had not much control. So I got rid of that and got a battery powered straight shaft and really love it. To give you some idea the backyard of the Family home you did is bigger than my front yard so the battery operated weedeater works good for me. Not sure if you’ve ever
Operated a curve shaft weed eater but like I said it’s uncomfortable for me. Thanks for sharing the video and take care
Thanks Steve!
You think with a such new looking house they would have some sort of hose real thingy installed for the hose. Does one charge extra for having to do a yard clean up before mowing?
Are those rotary scissors worth getting? I’d like to be able to use them for walking and edging but do they hold up ?
I use the Honda 35cc weedeater at work. It handles the long grass without bogging, but being tall and with the machine weighing more than the 25cc it can get very fatiguing. Tossing up between the Honda 25cc or the Stihl FS94 for my own personal use. Just not sure, I can't decide
What did you end up with? I have the same dilemma!
@@deanos1993 honda 25cc umk425 is ideal for commercial and personal use , plenty of power and reliable
@@bigchief2331 Thanks I ended up buying one a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with it
Nice brickwork on that house even though grey bricks so not attractive. Need that here in US. Just looking at a bricked street in the Netherlands. Beautiful. Just don't have that kind of talent here in US
Hi Tim,just wondering with guard off,how do you keep the cord the same length? I mean with guard it gets cut of automatically.
Thanks.
Al Bladez suggested your channel.
Beautiful job,very neat looking!!!! By the way Tim, here’s a crazy question, do you have chiggers over ther?, we sure do here in Texas. Their awful at times and I’m allergic to them. Takes a couple of weeks for me to heal. Again excellent job….
I have been miss
Oops hit wrong key. Been missing your videos I figured you were busy or getting lot of rain Welcome back
You mentioned a couple times thinking the Stihl was preferred cause of its feel being related to your height.
Personally I don’t think it is. They’ve just got a better feel in my opinion.
I use an fs94 as well, and I’m 190cm tall (6ft3in) and I have the same opinion that it just sits right and is balanced well.
And I find it makes all the difference when doing edges with the flipped vertical cut.
The slightly longer shaft of the Honda felt “off” to me as well.
Nathan I am the same height as you and wish my Honda was 4” longer, how do you manage with the shorter shaft machine? I’m bent over the whole time with the Honda.
@@STB-1 well there ya go, who knows? Must have something to do with our stance or something. Guess everyone’s different
IMO, Stihl makes better balanced trimmers. At over 6 feet tall, they all kill me though
Are you using both a blade and string trimmer head ? I cn see using the blade for the majority of the grass . And then on the oustside where you will be hitting walls or fences , etc To use the string to not damage them or dull the blade hitting the fence or wall .
When you were at the show did they have a push whipper snipper like a push edger
how are you finding the cost of fuel with your mowing jobs
It’s more expensive but I don’t use a large amount of fuel.
