I like most Ballard stuff but that magnetic light is a great idea but it sucks. Not bright at all. Was terrible. I wish it was brighter cause it was a great idea.
I have the same mower I have 500 hrs about to change the hydro oil my local scag dealer said it takes 5 qts….you put 2qts in and I said to them 2qts and they laughed at me and made me buy 5qts wtf
I have the same lawn mower only two years old. Tried turning her over and she won't start now. New battery. New spark plugs new filters oil change new gas. She tries to turn over but just won't. Any ideas???
3 possible problems. 1 selenoid went bad located on the starter. Check. 2 safety switch for blades is bad. Yellow one on top. 3 the park safety switch went bad.
At the 5-minute mark he has both knobs in his hands with the plate that he just took off and when his hands return back to the mower both knobs are gone so he set The knobs down by the plate. I also noticed the chocolate lab that was wandering around carrying a chew toy in his mouth I wonder if the chocolate lab carried one of the knobs off when you guys were changing the oil. 😂
I was mowing and HOA property and I looked down and my mower stops moving and my blade stop spinning both of my belts fell off at the exact same time it was so annoying I just ended up having to replace both of them and that fixed it but make sure that you check your belts.
Blake when he went to take off the cushion there was only 1 on the cushion....left side.... when he took off that cover, at the bottom, there was 2 on the cover. Know Idea why I remember things like that...look at the 4 minute 34 second timeline (I did rewind to find the time). Perhaps it is in the cup holder under the 3 golf balls.
Hey B&B I’m a mower based out of lees summit, I mow in surrounding cities. I see you’re based out of Kansas City I was wondering if you ever had any clients maybe in greenwood , lees summit that are too far for you that you might not care to give away to someone like me trying to get more customers as my school year ends?
Great!!! First video in UA-cam how to change the hydro oil. Thanks for sharing Blake. Is the hydro filter oil the same as the engine filter oil? Can you use the same oil for the engine and for the hydros?
@@bblawncarekc it's got 2 filters and 2 bleeder valve bolts that you have to loosen. Gotta jack it up and remove the wheels to get access to the valve bolts.The filters have protective covers that you have to unbolt and remove. Some people get fed up and just change the filters and top off the resivours 🤷♂️
Hey Blake! I was wondering, I noticed you have a bagger bracket on the V2. Are you able to put a chute blocker on that mower with that bracket on there. I want to get some kind of chute blocker but not sure if I can with that bracket on mine.
No need for purging the system?

I’ve been changing the engine oil on my Vride every 50-60 hours max. For the hydro oil, I’ve gone a few years and over 500 hours.
Got to love maintenance day!
My dad and I have to do that next week
Good luck!
Blake, thanks for stressing ongoing maintenance. So important.
Very important!

The fuel pump went bad
My mowers are my employees. I am obligated to take care of them!
Absolutely!
Awesome. Now I can do it
Might as well swap that pto switch also!!
Have had good luck with the newer switches!
Ever experience the hoses going to the wheel motors rubbing the tires? Just blew a hose tonight because of it.
Blake can you please make a video on how to replace the hydraulic belt?
According to the manual fill 2 1/2 from the neck of the hydraulic oil tank

Yup, Chase called me a couple days later and said he found it in the yard! Lol
at 5:42 till 5:45 of the video it actually looks like the dog spits out 1 of the knobs....Just like a true Lab!
Yes!!! That is funny to watch
Did you use conventional or synthetic?
Changing both my V-Ride II next week..
Doing engine oil change on a rainy day today here in Pa.
I was mowing and HOA property and I looked down and my mower stops moving and my blade stop spinning both of my belts fell off at the exact same time it was so annoying I just ended up having to replace both of them and that fixed it but make sure that you check your belts.
That fluid doesn’t look to hot aren’t you supposed to change them sooner?
Yes lol 200 is the break in and every 500 after. Book says 100 on oil but really should be every 50. These guys scare me.
AMSOIL 😎🙋♂️
Was this your first hydro oil and filter change for this mower?
Yes
Good to see you again Blake great video
Thanks Buddy!
Great video
Thanks!

My John Deere Quiktrack uses the same oil for the engine and hydros
We use 10w40 for engine
@@jayjack2768 how do you like the John Deere stand on mowers?
@@grant8846 I love mine! This is my first stand on and first brand so I can't give a honest review or comparison to anything else
Wow! That's way easier than my Z2 Ferris 😀
Dang, what’s different?

I have the accelerator bagger bracket on my vride (same one as in this video) and I use a grass flap chute blocker and it works perfectly together.
@@Epicgarbagecollector Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
I will be able too. I am installing the advanced chute on this mower and using it with the grass gobbler!
@@bblawncarekc Thanks!!
This worst is when you forget to put the new filter on and when you start it the oil just spits out the side.
This is easy mine is nothing like this
Simply the best!!
Scag man
Yes sir!
