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.
That electric mower is perfect for the person who has a little yard. It cut nicely and you can be done in 10 mins or less. Plus you don't have to store gasoline and the expense for that. Nice video. Always a bright spot in our day when we see you on. Grass with comedy!
I think I'd be going for a battery mower before something with a lead! It would definitely get it done though! Thanks for watching mate ✌
That is true. Small lawn maybe perfect
That's actually the first time I've sen a Flymo in action. Thanks for the unique video Tim!
Unique is a way to describe it mate 🤣 These vids don't get a lot of views but they are fun to do!
@@timthelawnmowerman You were like a little kid in the candy store when you knocked on that mans door with the little excited and hopeful knee bends when you asked him. Too cute Tim. Loved the little fly mo- I didn't think it would do that well but very surprised. It would't be able to cut my lawn though, I'd be at it all day lol Hi Sean!!
I mean, it was like mowing with a vacuum. That cord 🤣 It worked. But why?? I will say the hover action was cool . Looking forward to the next one. ❤
Thanks Crystal! Why Indeed! 😂 Just a bit of fun, I like to try different things
Same Crystal.
Keep em coming timbo
Haha that’s kind of what I thought lol
@@benmcgowan2220 yea was kind of interesting to watch lol
That was fun to watch. Looked like yard vacuum. Liked the power station
It's definitely the best thing that has been sent to me!
You are the only one I have seen of all the gardeners that is smart enough to protect your lungs. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thanks Susanne!
I've had my Fly mow for 25 years, it's great. Mine has a grass box to collect the cuttings. Great stuff.
I haven't seen one with a catcher, sounds interesting!
It's incased inside the orange dome. Just lift the top and the basket is there and can come out to empty.
That does sound interesting - gotta make a vid on that Tim!
Flymo is the trademarked name and I bet you're from England. We call it a catcher.
It was like mowing with a cross between a vacuum and a power washer. 🤣 I was laughing so hard when you were swinging it back and forth! 😂 Very fun video Tim! Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the next video! 💙🍻🤙🏻💪🏻
Thanks Janice! I appreciate you checking it out!
Haha I thought it sounded like a vacuum
I have never seen a Flymo used B4 and it did a good job. Obviously suitable for tiny yards like townhouses. Love the charger! Great video as per usual! 🤗🇦🇺
Surprisingly good cut, good for small yard homeowners have a day love from TEXAS
Hey Tina! I would say it got it done but definitely wouldn't be my choice of ways to do it.
I started the same way brought back the same memories 🤦♂️👍👍
Bad memories! 😂
Dont worry Tim, Flymo in the UK are pretty well known and trusted for electric mowers. i feel the sense of stress, almost PTSD when mowing with electric mowers. as a kid i would mow the lawn/grass and it was hard work. Now as a "grown up" and a home owner, i choose petrol mowers as its so much easier than electric and, in my opinion, give a much better finish on the cut.
Can't argue with any of that! Thanks for watching!
That's interesting. In the US, at least where I am, it's almost the opposite. People go from gas to electric
You guys also trusted in Rovers, Jaguars and what not....
I use my Fly Mow regularly Tim, on my Dublin Lawn in Ireland 🇮🇪 and it is a Godsend, a light one, so I can manage the weight of it 😁👍 .
It, the Fly Mow, is so use to my garden lawn, and gives a great cut ....better than Folk might realize.
They are great for lawns that are regularly cut, as you mentioned in the video Tim.
I am so use to the cable by now, don't even notice it much as I cut the lawn...you get a routine with it also haha.
*Nice clean up Tim, knew it wld be with the Fly Mow 😁😁😁👍🌻
Take Care🌻
Glad it works for you Lyla 👌 I like to try all these things out from heavy to light duty
When I lived in England pre 1972 my father had a Flymo!!!!! He swore by it as he had a back injury which made using a push mower very uncomfortable for him.👍🏻
Sounds like a good reason to have one
You had me laughing out loud when you were swinging that mower back and forth! Thanks
🤣🤣🤣👍 mine never glided like that. It was boxy and so old the green paint was gray, but I used an electric mower too, as a kid. I do kinda miss it. Nice job.
This was a cool video... Never seen one of these gems. Always a fun learning experience with you & your Brothers with Blades... 👍🙏
Thanks for watching us have some stupid fun!
🤣🤣🤣I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣 when you did side to side that was the funniest thing I saw on this channel. 😅
Well, that certainly was interesting. Hey, it got the job done, that's all that's important. I'm in the states, and I have a very small grassy area behind my pool, but it's up 3 steps and I got tired of hiking the mower up the steps, so I bought a Black & Decker 3 in 1, which is a combo string trimmer, edger and lawn mower. You can get it in corded or cordless. I chose the battery op, and you can adjust the height and the string trimmer snaps into the base with a foot pedal, and gives a great cut, weighs nothing at all and I don't get a hernia dragging a lawn mower up 3 steps for a very small job.
It's handy, you cut the grass, snap out the trimmer, edge and trim, has an auto spool feeder also. There's something for everybody these days , and it works fine for my needs.
I remember as a kid seeing the old lady next door using a flymo.. this was in the eighties, I thought it was witchcraft 🧙🏻♀️😁
It's a hate crime 😂
dan0000023 you just made me have a good ole belly laugh! I loved your comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bought an old Flymo on FB buy & sell for $20! It had been his Grandmother's mower and amazingly it worked fine! Mowed my lower yard which i mow regularly and it worked brilliantly. Now this was more of a curiosity fun purchase since i run a lawn care business, but have to say it did a great job! Steve. Upper Cuts Lawn Care - Devonport Tasmania.
Twice in one night, Hey mate
@@timthelawnmowerman As the late Bert Newton once said "I Like The Boy" of course he nearly got a left hook from Ali in the process though! Lol
I have spent probably 500 hours using a 2 or 4 stroke hover mower over the last 25 years cutting grass at a friends large property. There are three areas where they excel above all other mowers; 1/ They are brilliant on steep slopes and around the sloping margins of golf bunkers and ponds. 2/ They are great on small irregular shaped pieces of grass where its tricky to mow in a straight line. This is because they cut sideways so well and because you can mow in an arc without moving your feet 3/ Around trees. Its around trees where they are underappreciated. The area I cut has about 120 small and medium closely spaced ornamental trees. I can stand in one position and cut all around a tree without moving my feet. I have timed it and I can cut around trees about 80% faster with a hover mower than a small cylinder or rotary which matters for me when I have so many to cut around.
Hi from Adirondack mtns of new York, USA where we're having our first little snow flurry of the season!
Thanks for joining the Premiere Gail!
@@timthelawnmowerman enjoyed it. Always good to learn about off grid products!
Oh my goodness... Flurries??? Stay safe... Hugs from Maine
Heard you might get some lake effect 🌨.
@@frothe42 fortunately it passed through. Not quite ready for a big snow yet!
And now something completely different. Hi Tim that was a cool video. I did not know that they made those mower any more quite interesting, And using that power station that’s even cool. I guess that type of lawnmower would be great for a small yard. I to have a battery operated weedeater and also a battery operated lawnmower and I really like them. I don’t have to worry about gasoline. Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it take care and stay safe.
Steve
Thanks Steve, I'm glad your gear is working well for you 👍
Wow really lol never seen a mower like that before it's like a vacuum 😍🥰🤩
Neat machine thank you for showing that to us. God bless. 😆
Interesting machine for sure!
That lawnmower reminds me of a vaccum cleaner, lol, even sounded like one. I agree that would be good for people who live in townhouses. Great video Tim.
Thanks for checking it out Vicky!
@@timthelawnmowerman Your welcome Tim, I enjoy all your videos you are very comical and between you and Sean I've learn alot about lawn care from yall. I hope you have a good rest of the week and a great weekend.
don't learn from me! That is a bad path 🤣
@@timthelawnmowerman I seriously doubt that, lol
I have used an electric mower and have even mowed over and ruined the extension cord - no shocks or anything = but this is the first time I have seen or even heard of a hover mower. Looked like you might have gotten over your trauma of having to use the electric mower when you were swinging it back and forth - looked kind of like fun!
Just me being an idiot! Thanks for watching!
That was sick. Tim setting the standard! This could be a good little setup to go camping and mowing your camping spot:)
Hahaha Would be good for you camping for sure mate 👍
Haha hey. Yea. That way you will always have the perfect spot lol
It must felt you were mowing with a vacuum cleaner! Lol
It sure did!
Electrolux make them (or did).
Your Killin me smalls!! That was great. Let's see that hover mower on foot tall grass.
I'd be keen to do it but with no discharge pirt it will just bog down I assume
Thank you for sharing
Sold these over forty years ago, two cycle. You could mow upside down and not damage the engine as it was two cycles. Wish they still sold here in the US.
Sounds cool!
@@timthelawnmowerman When you moved the flymo side to side that brought back memories!
The great part was demonstrating on an incline, one that could kill a four cycle mower.
I'm all for electric, and that battery pack is phenomenal!
Looks like battery power will take over the role of two strokes for sloped lawns.
Kudos to your lovely wife. She works, helps you and has a home and children to take care of. You work well together.
The electric glider did a surprising good job.🙂
It got it done is all I can say 🤣
Pleasantly surprised. Would definitely be ok for a small yard that’s maintained regularly
It would work but not for me personally. The cord would be too annoying
Beautiful!!! ❤️
Thanks for watching Bonnie, hope you are well
It sounded like a vacuum cleaner 🤣 😂 but it did the job.
Felt like one too!
I thought the cheap mower vid was cool. This is next level....Tims gettin all freaky on us....and I love it!!!!
Glad you appreciate the variety!
I think it cuts better when you were swinging side to side. I have a small yard but grass is thick and I don’t think this mower would do the job. But what do I know, I am a old lady 😂😂😂.
👏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌟😊
Omg, I used to use one of those mowers years ago. Brought back memories for me too. My stomach was churning just watching that extension cord! 🤣
😂😂😂😂
That bought back memories, I never thought to put the lead on my shoulder. Love the power charger as it has so many uses. I really enjoyed this video it was educational and blessed someone in need. I am off to work on our church garden that I renovated with natives earlier this year. Looking forward to seeing the mammoth job you have next time. 🌺
Thanks Sue! Good luck with the garden!
@@timthelawnmowerman Thanks Tim, I find gardening peaceful.
sounds like my vacuum cleaner!!!
It felt like vacuuming!
Actually, you don't know when you might need and electric and power combination, if other power doesn't exist. That mower sounds like a vacuum cleaner though....Had a good used, $10, electric mower once, tied a knot in the cord connection too. It did a good job on basic simple mowing. Between edging and mowing, this project did turn out decently. Excellent.
Just did it for a laugh and to show off the power station 🤭
Ha ha, to see you "hoover" that lawn made me think of Freddie Mercury in "I want to break free" 😜😁 Nice job, nice legs, but perhaps not as much make up as Freddie had😄
Hahahaha thanks Maria!
The dreaded Flymo! I had one for a very short period of time, darn thing gave me one hell of an electric shock and threw me across the garden. Never ever will I have one again.
Bloody gold mate! Love it
I have to admit it impressed me.
Never seen or heard of this type of MOWER, but I'm like you I'd be scarred...lol 🌴🍊🐊🌞👋
Thanks Sheryl!
Thank you for Sharing 🌴🍊🐊🌞👋
My victa did the exact same thing. It was even the left front wheel. wow.
I just welded it back on. Its from smacking the concrete lawn edge, wall, house etc. on an angle. Tack Welds just break. Flymo would be good for steep slopes and golf bunkers
Or a museum 😂
I really liked the video, a nice situation, the demonstration with a free lawn mowing !!! Very interesting the technology that day by day is becoming more practical for its use, also, in this case I was able to translate it so I understood everything you said perfectly, a big greeting !!!!!
My mum had a flymo ! Iam with you Tim, scared of zappy zap ⚡with the cord. That power station looks smick, great for camping will research it.
Thanks!
THANKS FOR THE RZ MASK PRIZE. I would have tried to strap the generator to the top of the mower to see it float, or dig a hole!
PG Tips Flymos are common in Uk 🇬🇧 my neighbours all have them there so light . They do the job !!! I have one with bag on u adjust the blade on side enjoyed vid did good job 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
Thanks Pauline!
Morning Tim, oh the memories. The last Flymo I had (90’s) I’d upgraded to one with a grass box on the back and wheels for stripes on the lawn😉. I lost count how many times I cut through the cable, luckily it was plugged in via a RCD. Have a great week Jax.
Mine was 1996! I remember it vividly! Thanks for watching
Flymo is big here in England. Personally I don’t like them for the same reason as you - hate the cables and lack of power, but great for tiny gardens and on slopes.
Fun video, and at the same time, weird!🇨🇦❤️
OMG with a Flymo 😂
That was so cool. ❤❤❤
Blimey that took me a back a few years that was my first lawnmower it was so easy and very light, did a good job as well. Nice job Tim ❤❤Wiltshire 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I like the flymo. My dad had one in the 80s, here in the U.S.
Tim, I like watching your videos very much. I don't like lawnmowers with cords. Thanks
Me either. Thanks for watching
You'll have to direct them to Sean to get that Victa fixed. It is a bit overkill for that front lawn though
No such thing as overkill 😂
That's the funniest mower I have ever seen!! I'm calling her Miss Ladybug. 😂
Looks fun as lol!
Pretty cool electric mower! Thanks Tim for another great video and have loved all your videos! Have a blessed day!
Thanks Dwayne! Appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
240 volt machinery has been around for a long time and not all of it was toy value only.
In an industrial setting I used big Stihl 240 volt chainsaws for many years and they were a beast.
No fuel to mess around with, they were quiet and went first time every time.
With around 3 to 4 hours solid cutting everyday they even lasted about 10 years.
The saw I used was comparable to Stihls original petrol powered Farm Bosses.
So it looked like u were using a vacuum to mow, great job either way!
That's amazing
Saw these for sale in the 70s always wanted one!!
It looked and sounded like a vacuum. So it was basically a Vacuum cleaner with a blade attached to the bottom. I was lucky that my dad didn't make me mow with a hazard (I.E. the power cord), I learned to weed eat on a Shindaiwa, and used a craftsman ride mower... love your videos by the way.
That hover mower is the weirdest thing I've ever seen for mowing a lawn. 🤣🤣
Crazy weird!
Great video, Tim and Nicole. Takes me back to when I had Flymo Hover mowers. Like you, nightmarish with trailing cables!!! Quality of cut would always depend on how good the turf is. This yard had so much weed and stone in it, obviously made it difficult. That said you managed to get as good a result as you could get. Well done and the guy was pleased with your work 😀👍 Looking forward to seeing you dealing with that overgrown property. Take care, both of you 🌟🌟🌟
Nicely done Tim, I have never seen a hover mower thanks for sharing. Stay blessed!!!
Thanks mate, I like to show the good/bad and weird things!
Love this "hover" I'd love this if I had a small yard but my yard is way big. By myself it takes around six hours to cut and trim...maybe two acres...My whole farm is six plus acres (6.33) but I'm lucky I have a local farmer who plants corn and then gives me a nice check for using my land. Hello Nicole !! Great Job As Always Tim!!!
Hello from Southeast Kansas.
Al blay sent me and I just subscribed.
Awesome! Thanks 👌
Hello from New York....
Hey Paul
That mower is CUTE! But I like my battery operated mower!
I'd take a battery mower over this for sure!
I never saw a lawn mowed like that!😂
Cool..lots of fun✌️🍷
Least you had a Flymo Tim I had to use scissors, my dad wouldn’t by a mower ! Yes he walked with a squeak but was the best dad ! Xx
You win Mandy! 🤣 Thanks for watching!
@@timthelawnmowerman my pleasure
i kiinda dont wanna mow my lawn now so these guys rock up
I have an electric mower, larger than that, with a catcher, hi from sunny Arizona
I'd like to see it!
The sad thing is I don't know how to put a picture on this video or a reply to your Question
That electric lawnmower cuts sweet love it
Hmmmmm I'm not so convinced Deyemon 😂 Thanks for checking it out though!
I'd use a shorter cord on a smaller yard, since it's easy to carry the charger with you. Don't have to fling the long cord around.
It's a little heavy for that Susie but I get what you mean
I have an electric mower its quite big the only problem is the cord you have to have one person to hold the cord while mowing .
Well done 👍
Thanks Laura!
We have had electric Flymo Hovermowers in the UK for decades and can get more powerful ones the more you spend
Well there you go! I didn't know that. Sounds like they are more popular over there. Thanks for watching!
Nice to know I wasn’t the only one scarred for life by a Flymo mower as a kid. We need to start a support group 😂😂😂
Definitely!
That was low key bizarre.
How on earth did he do that to the mower's front end?
Not sure mate but good timing for us!
@@timthelawnmowerman incredible timing and luck for him.
I am older and have severe arthritis. I mow with electrics all the time. The ignition alone makes it worth the extra expense, and I’ve never had problems with battery life or cut quality.
Good to here Murl!
Good stuff Timmy. 💪🏼
Please have ur Mrs. In more vids. She brings a lot of humor to ur channel. Your channel is great!
She enjoys coming out it just doesn't always work out time wise 👌
Flymo mowers are popular in the UK, but the company is actually Swedish. Karl Darlmann claimed to have invented it in 1964 after seeing a hovercraft. However, a UA-camr did a restoration on a genuine 1952 Toro hover mower so that kind of undermines the Swedes' claim.
That is cool
I've never seen one of these before. Interesting
Love It Your Great
Interesting.
Thanks for checking it out!
We had a gas fly mow. We used it for years.
The parks grass crew still use them for hills ect.
I live in the niagara region Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for checking it out Bonnie!
Being from the States, I have to say that was one of the strangest mowers I've ever seen. Almost like some sort of space alien type device hoovering the grass. Cool & extremely effective!
It gets the job done but I definitely wouldn't say extremely effectively 😀
@@timthelawnmowerman Well, at least on camera anyway, the lawn looked a lot better than when you got there.
Lol weird would be correct
Sounds like a house vacuum crazy
The sweeping action on the last bit of lawn was priceless. The homeowner would be better off with a little battery mower. I think Brad from copper creek lawn demoed one a while back.
Yep a battery mower here would work but I'd still be going a small petrol mower personally
