I had suspected you were using an electric mower instead of a gas mower when it started to get bogged down in the thicker grass. I had the exact same problem when I was using an electric mower, but when I switched to a gas mower I no longer had any problems mowing my lawn. I understand why there is a movement for people to switch from gas lawn equipment to electric, but as of yet electric lawn equipment simply can't compete with gas motors. Maybe someday that will change, but until then I'm sticking with the equipment that can actually get the job done and give me a clean, sharp cut for my lawn.
Watching Ryan struggle - being the master that he is - makes me feel so much better about my struggles. I'm sorry Ryan but I am enjoying your pain for the time being.
I cut my lawn almost scalp yesterday 2x then dethatched blew all the grass into piles and cut once more to get any residual up. Looking forward to your next steps.
I've watcehd quite a few videos of yours, but not all of them. I'm not sure if you've gone over your video setup, but I just want to say you're doing a killer job with the video quality. That includes the audio. A great example is t the 13 min mark. The wind is clearly blowing, but I can hear you incredibly clear. It's the small details that stand out to me. well done and keep it up!
Idea for next video showing the test plots. Take a still picture with drone and label the grass types on the image then edit it into the video, might be best way to visually see the differences. Would like to see closeups as well.
Super excited to start on mine. Just noticed this channel and have watched several videos. Really enjoy this channel, but now I wish I had killed off my lawn starting a few weeks back. Thanks for all the "teaching."
When I’m using my TM to lower my TTTF’s HOC, I’ll cut the yard with side discharge first and then do another pass with bagger. Stinks to have to do two passes, but it is what it is.
Ryan, best video displaying regular lawn cut down concerns for a dethatch removal. I use dethatch to mean debris removal as well --either way, get the Yuk out of the lawn for Autumn growth season.
I might be wrong. But it seems that bag of your Toro mower is very dirty with dried grass juice in combination with dust. What i do is always wash it after any moving. There is direct correlation of air moving out through walls of bag and filling of bag with grass. If air is not able to go through walls it goes back to mower and blocks grass to move into bag.
Ryan, I have TTTF and I feel like mine is so thick I think I need to power rake this year, I honey feel like my thatch layer is nearly like burlap. It’s ridiyhow thick it’s gotten and I aerate every season. I feel like the mow it down low and power rake it is the answer this year
I planted your tall fescue last year at 10lbs/1k using a germination blanket and I also have some areas that are so thick the blades can’t get any air or light causing some melting out. Overall I’m very happy with it but I plan to seed at 9lbs/1k on my back yard renovation this fall.
Sounds like the TTTF i have in my backyard. I have to cut it multiple times. I just cut a bocce ball court into my backyard, went 3.5 inches to 1. Took about 6 passes, discharge, mulch, bag, hand rake. I had to do it all multiple times. 500sq filled 3 lawn bags with clippings. I do have an older mower, but its a freshly sharpened gator g5 blade.
In my experience, when the mower Isn't bagging the clippings, the grass is too tall. I've found what also helps, is to clean out the underside of the mower deck as it gets clogged up and doesn't move the grass properly into the bag. But, mowing in increments and when the grass isn't wet, is key to preventing the mower from spitting out the clippings
Ryan, I've had the exact same issue with my Ego Select Cut mower where it bogs down pretty quickly when trying to scalp my grass, probably because the grass is too thick. It's not just a Milwaukee battery mower thing.
The same thing happens to me when I dethatch my tall fescue. I’ve found that 2.5 inches is the proper height of cut to prevent this, although that goes against the community standard of 3+ inches.
I’ve been wondering if the 3-4.5” HOC thing works better with high suction commercial mowers and 2.5-3 is better when using electric mowers like Milwaukee or my Ego.
Hi Ryan just a suggestion. I have a AgriFab lawn sweeper that works great for picking up lawn leaves and thatch. It would work great for picking up most of the heavy lawn thatch.
@ryanknorrwancare I live near Toronto Canada and have an awesome lawn thanks to your tips. I am trying something new this fall with seeding. I just lowered my mow yesterday from 3.5 inch to 1.75 and it was quite the task. I dethatched, added some topsoil and overseed with PRG only. (My lawn currently has a mix of PRG, KBG and Fescue.) Once the temps start to dip here by mid September, I plan to overseed again with KGB. It is a slower growing grass so I am trying to time it with the weather so there is no need to mow frequently which will allow the seed to root and establish nicely. Just wanted to know your thoughts on that.
My fescue is 4in long and I was thinking about getting a electric detacher but now I realize it's not going to work lawn, I'll just rake it out like I've been doing.
Unpaid, unrequested plug here. After doing your zone-determination homework, anyone remotely on the fence about getting Ryan's elite perennial rye grass, take note: just do it. I can only speak from my experience, and to that I offer this: that stuff is amazeballs. It geminates in about a week, is hand-reel mow-able after 2 to 2-1/2 weeks, and will grow f'ing *anywhere* . I did a late renovation last fall (had to wait for the temperatures to get down low enough) and I can honestly say I have the best looking lawn in my neighborhood of 180 homes. I wanted to do a spring over-seed, but the weather flipped too fast and I was too busy, and it *still* looks amazing. People ask me how I did it, and I sum it up by telling them, "Watch this guys videos, get his seed and products, follow his maintenance and feeding plans, and yours can look as good as mine, if not better." Don't kid yourself; its not something to take lightly; it will be work, but if you put work into it and load the dice in your favor by using quality products you WILL reap rewards. So, just do it.
This video could have been 30 minutes long and would have kept my attention. I love these "dethatching" videos! Also, between this, the summer updates video, and some of my experiences, it's definitely proving that a tall height of cut is not needed on modern tall fescue. I'm gonna keep mine between 2.5 and 3 next summer.
Don't give up on the TTTF RK, looks like it was just lacking a lot of grooming, maybe you can reel mow it a month from now. Great podcast btw with RD the other day.
Ryan, hoping to scalp my thin lawn (neglected by previous owner) before a heavy KBG overseed this fall. I mow at 3 inches and my yard is mostly KBG. What is the best strategy to prep for the scalp with the primary focus on the success of my new KBG cultivars? Stress the existing by withholding water for the next few weeks? Let is grow even longer beforehand so it's a more dramatic cut during the scalp? Appreciate your insight!
@ryanknorrlawncare I wondered that as well. When I watch it I can't help but think it's just dethatching the thatch over and over just kicking it down the lane. Definitely needed it done!! I'm planning to do mine this weekend if the weather cooperates.
Greetings from Canada Ryan, Fantastic videos. I was wondering what the purpose is for dethatching, how often should it be done and should we reseed after ? Thanks for the input.
Yesterday I scalped and detached before this video came out… Starting to think like Ryan Knorr ❤️ Even though the days are still hot here (90-100), the nights are getting longer and 8 AM and 8 PM or so much cooler already. Can see the grass starting to rejuvenate just slightly so I went ahead with height reset and scalp.
Is it OK to dethatch in the summer in 6b right now? I'm noticing my front PRG starting to get thatch and although it's not suppose to even reach the 90s in the next 10 days, I'm a little nervous to dethatch. Thanks for the updates!
Great video Ryan. I aerate and overseed every year but, it’s time I need to thin it out. Can I use a dethatcher and overseed and skip the aerating? Or will by best results is to do all 3. I’m excited for the sale as I’m looking to get the elite tall fescue. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Ryan!
it acts like its full, because its a bit wett (sticky) and you mow full wide of your mower. its hard to transport and maybe stuck before the catcher and fall down. i guess...
Hey Ryan. I’m on Long Island. I have turf type tall fescue. It’s really thick also. I keep my mower at 3 and cut every 3-4 days max. It’s looking great. I’m just curious about taking the height shorter. I’m afraid that if I go shorter that the lawn will stress and look worse. Is it best to keep it where it is based on the type? Or can you get turf type talk fescue really short and still have it look good? Thanks
Oh boy, I guess this means it’s not too early to start renovations. I’ve been debating. 😊. That fescue looks like a nightmare to deal with. Ryegrass all day long!
@@ryanknorrlawncare awesome! Im thinking about incorporating it into my lawn especially with how dry its been in my area in Iowa just to keep it greener!
Ryan, I'm in Sacramento CA. I'd like to order the TTTF for completely renovating my 2600 sq ft lawn. Will it work in my zone? We have hot summers. I used Fescue/bluegrass mix in the past and don't like it. I want straight Fescue. What do you recommend? I'll get your guide also.
Ryan, my TTTF looks like that in areas and I thought it was bermuda or something like that with how 'leggy' it is. You're saying is actually is TTTF but it's overcrowded and not growing straight up? That would be great news for me but I'm skeptical
I feel like my cold season lawn is not thick. I water as we are permitted enough for 2 inch of water and regular feed with fertilizer. Would it be that I accidentally spread shade seed whereas it mostly sees sun? Thanks
I think you're thinking of the verticutter but usually that's not needed on bunching type grasses. I might take it through here though since it's so thick
@@ryanknorrlawncare Ofcourse, the verticutter 😊. Yeah i know it isnt your preffered method but seeing how thick that is, i thought that a "haarder" method may help you getting through 🤣. Thank you for the reply and your always great and inspiring videos.
Y didn’t you just use the zero turn and side discharge then pickup the clippings with the toro. Zero turn has a lot more power to get through tall stuff
@@ryanknorrlawncare idk how u deal with that mulch should have just put black mat. The birds and squirrels drive me insane flicking the mulch out of my beds into the grass. But in my beds the mulch has purpose
could the grass be so thick that there isn't enough circulation coming up beneath the deck to rear discharge correctly? I could see the heavier clippings just falling out. Maybe that'd be a perfect situation for mulching?
Grass being that thick, probably can't get correct air flow for mower to work correctly. Can't get enough air under the deck and makes some incorrect vacuum there? Just wondering
And the sad part is it is preached to overseed tttf every year. No wonder people are always fighting disease. Creating their own problems. I have been mowing mine around 3” all year and it seems much happier than at 3.5” or above. And looks much better as well
I think high lift blades with side discharge is the best way to get low quick. Clippings that have been side discharged are easier to bag. That was difficult to watch.
Yeah one of the reasons I'm refusing to go electric except for the blower I use for the garage. Have a strong feeling everyone pushing electric are shills. Lol

I've got fescue, thanks for letting me know what I'm going to be up against.

Sometimes the growth in spring makes it tough to keep it low but I'm not going down this road again 🤣
ever consider making a test plot for a putting green?
would be nice to see from scratch
my yard more so resembles the wood chip walk ways than the "disastrous" test plots. Being 3 years deep into summer droughts has been tough on my lawn.
It can be tough with dry weather.
Ryan when are you going to make a video about the new etime master electric?
I have too many mowers as is haha
Time for some implements that fit the ventrac!
Hey Ryan! What kind of headphones are those you are wearing in the video? Do you like them?
Blue grass, all the way. What is that white machine? Is it gas or electric?
Don't give up on the TTTF RK, looks like it was just lacking a lot of grooming, maybe you can reel mow it a month from now. Great podcast btw with RD the other day.
I definitely won't give up on it. There's just room for improvement :)
Cutting to much off and it's getting stuck in the shoot b4 entering the bag. Happens when grass is a little damp too
Always so amazed

Wait until you have to scalp fully matured bermuda grass in the spring lol
What are your thoughts on pre-germinating seed before throwing it down? Just saw a video on this today and have never heard of it until now.
So, do you ignore the 1/3 rule when it is renovation time? Just found turftalk this summer. Started from the beginning, almost caught up.
I found I was better to grow fescue at about 3.5 inches. My issue was it lopped over and caused disease issues and such.
That happens to me when it’s thick grass that has a slight dampness. Not wet but, almost. If that makes sense.
Is it OK to dethatch in the summer in 6b right now? I'm noticing my front PRG starting to get thatch and although it's not suppose to even reach the 90s in the next 10 days, I'm a little nervous to dethatch. Thanks for the updates!

Shade seed grows in full sun too so not likely.
this electric one may be underpowered. Mine is by Greenworks, and it has a boost most that kicks one when there is increased resistance
It has the boost mode. I was running it on that mode

Which cartridge did you use on the Swardman for this project?
Y didn’t you just use the zero turn and side discharge then pickup the clippings with the toro. Zero turn has a lot more power to get through tall stuff
It's hard to use the zero turn in that plot area because of the mulch right next to the plots
@@ryanknorrlawncare idk how u deal with that mulch should have just put black mat. The birds and squirrels drive me insane flicking the mulch out of my beds into the grass. But in my beds the mulch has purpose

Get a Honda HRH 536
The best mower.
Period.
If you were to bag every time you mowed could you avoid this process?
No. I bag a lot as is
Might need a verticutter attachment.
oh you poor thing, your grass is too thick. I really feel for ya!! :-) !!!
That is a ton of thatch
Is there chewing fescue in the middle plot?
No just tttf
Grass being that thick, probably can't get correct air flow for mower to work correctly.
Can't get enough air under the deck and makes some incorrect vacuum there? Just wondering
Yeah it's not getting a lot of air flow when it's trying to cut a shag carpet :)
Exactly why I don't use my timemaster anymore. My super recyclers does such better job mulching and bagging. My opinion
Get a ego push mower. It will blow through long thick grass and not stop.
My two bits, the grass has too much moisture, not wet but moisture combined with density of grass.
I feel like a verticutter might have been a better option for this
The one I have has a lot of space in between the "blades" so it's not very aggressive
Time for a ventrac
I thought you just moved in? Did you say you waited 3 years to reno?
We started working on the property well before we moved
You need a little Donny brush
Can’t believe it’s been THREE FALLS!!!
Time flies!
Wait a minute, you've had these plots for three years? 7:14
Yes this is the 3rd fall season. I planted them in Sept 2021
great boyfriend t-shirt
First Aussie 😁.
And the sad part is it is preached to overseed tttf every year. No wonder people are always fighting disease. Creating their own problems. I have been mowing mine around 3” all year and it seems much happier than at 3.5” or above. And looks much better as well
Very true. It's pretty incredible how these tiller and I found out the hard way 😄
I have 10% bluegrass in mine and it is slowly getting thicker on the KBG side.
How thick would you like your grass? Yes.
Just go down one notch at a time.
I think high lift blades with side discharge is the best way to get low quick. Clippings that have been side discharged are easier to bag. That was difficult to watch.
👍🏼
Wet grass. Time master hates it
