Do You Really NEED A REEL MOWER?? // Masport Rotarola Rear Roller Striping Lawn Mower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Although I absolutely love reel mowing for the cleanest cut and the best stripes, is there a rotary mower that comes close without the price tag and maintenance of reel mowing?
I purchased a Masport Rotarola Striping Lawn Mower and I think it's a great alternative to those who don't want the extra work of owning a reel mower but want to achieve a similar low cut look. I'll show you some of the features and the mower in action.

Is this available anywhere else? Looks like it’s out of stock here.
@@TraeLivingston-w7s we'll likely have it back in stock soon
Doesn't matter what I have, it hasn't rained in a month. I have the shortest well kept grass on earth.
*Edit:* hasn't stopped raining for 40 days and 40 nights. Grass came back and is fuller than ever
😔
same my grass is still short and has gone dormant already. Worst my grass has ever looked.
@Christopher C going outside at this point is dangerous, our air quality levels are worse than India this week because of the wildfires. Finally getting our first rain in over a month.
@@puvlea83 same here just got some rain today.
@@puvlea83 we must live pretty close lol
Proudly designed and engineered in New Zealand too. From a 🇳🇿 'er
I would love to see a quick video of the lawn at your old house and see how the new owners are doing with the lawn that you had created. I'm guessing that it doesn't look as good anymore.
Maybe do a "drive by" in the neighborhood.
I like it! This will be in my collection. Thanks Ryan. 🤙
The house, property and yard is looking amazing! Awesome job!
Found it......1/2" to 2 3/4"
Big RK, always doing big things
Love the gear RK!
Looking forward to learning
So sad seeing that crack in brand new concrete :(
You don't NEED a reel mower but damn if it isn't a huge upgrade especially if you mow low.
🤜🤛
Interesting concept! I thought about trying reel mowing, but the price for one is pretty expensive when looking at powered. I've got a zero-turn with a real nice roller on it that I use now for my acre, but wanted to experiment with a small section.
Very cool! Glad to see other companies starting to make mowers like this for the US market.
What other companies make similar mowers to this one? I am digging the way it stripes and would love to look at other brands as well!
too bad its $1600 with a Briggs...lol
I've had many Briggs for years with no issues
I never wore out a briggs engine. Always other problems when I replace mowers.
Definitely needs a blade stop
WHat is the Height of cut RANGE....Hi ti LO????
Is the drive roller split? Hard to turn? Do you think it would climb hills? Seems like a well-built machine.
It's a single roller that's not split but very easy to turn around. I think any of the mowers with rollers could struggle on hills with traction but not completely sure.
Absolutely love the look it gives and the alternative to a reel mower! I have a classic manual reel mower currently and have been looking into a powered reel mower but darn this might have got me! I would love to know other brands that have a similar mowers like this if anyone knows any!
What is that height of cut that you currently have and what would be the lowest
Masport; once was a fine New Zealand-owned brand...Now German AL-KO owned.
Does one need a reel mower? YES!! A push manual reel mover for a small lawn gives you a great looking lawn and, because you are expending energy pushing the mower you will star to look great! 😎
I see the advantage.
a reel mower does not have the suction, and by constantly rolling the grass flat, you need to monthly verticut (not scarify, but a gentle cut), to get the gras back growing up.
So this is maybe not the crisp cutting, but it sucks the gras up, before cutting, so how does it score in general compared to a reel mower?
We all know that you can't manage your grass with a reel mower alone, we always need to have some mower with suction and bagging from time to time
So maybe my wife likes this as a total package
Love my masport. Tried hayter, toro and a few other brands but this beats them all for collecting, striping and great cut.
Mate I'd put a cable tie on that handle so it keeps running 🇦🇺
You'd end up with some nice buzzed circles in the lawn wherever you stop :)
First Aussie 😁. Ryan , a great alternative mower . 🤠
Does Connor even have a awn anymore? Where is he?
Bought a reel mower about a month ago. I couldn’t stand it after the first mow. The second mow I liked it a bit more, but still think I hate it. Lol
The biggest issue is it misses so many spots and you have to go over it several times.
Here’s a tip if you do buy one; use some wd-40 on the blades.
And but the cordless version
Good morning , God Bless 🙌
It’s a pretty cool bridge between rotary and reel
With my gas mower, i hate mowing. With my $80 amazon reel mower, I mow everyday and love every second. I've got my St. Augustine trained down to 3/4in. It only took one summer. I look out now and I have a golf course as a lawn. No need to spend anymore than $80 and some elbow grease. I finally feel alive. Reel mowing literally saved my life.
The single rear roller is the Achilles heel of this mower. It should be a double.
Hi Ryan! I have a question. How can I help my lawn bounce back from high traffic? I have fairway crested wheatgrass, and sandy soil. I live on an acreage where I have limited options to get my subcompact tractor to the backyard. Sandy soil, a type of grass that can't tolerate a lot of traffic, and limited options for routes isn't an ideal situation. Typically when I do have to drive the tractor on the lawn it is back and forth a couple times. I try not to drive the exact same path, sometimes I have to. If you have any tips I would greatly appreciate it! Your new property is looking amazing. I especially love Kelsey's butler's pantry!
Holy cow. $1,750. That’s a shock but I’m just an amateur. I had a Snapper years ago that I loved, it was the toughest thing I ever bought in my life.
Does that masport mower stripe better than the Honda hdx
Wow! I stumbled upon this video titled "lawnmower" and I'm thrilled! As someone who has been searching high and low for a lawnmower that doesn't require perimeter wires, I am so grateful for this find. The Segway Navimow robotic lawnmower seems like the perfect solution. Its convenience and efficiency have won me over. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Any product suggestions for a striping kit on my JD X370 riding mower? I bought a JD striping kit but it's not really defined and rolled down.
Can you figure a way to add any more down force on the rollers? That would be about all you can do. Also if your grass is a couple different varieties of grass types or if it's not particularly thick it just won't stripe well.
@@jsee2385 I have some weights I can place on the back. I have typical northeast grass. Rye, fescue, Kentucky. Currently keeping it tall at 4in. Not sure what else I can do. It's not rollers but a brush type striping kit.
@besttech oh ok. Yeah I've seen the bristle type of strippers. I tried that with a thick piece of berber carpet mounted on my mower so it was perpendicular to the turff dragging hard against ground...and it did nothing basically. About all you can do, again just try to make it push down harder so it really drags over and pushes the blade down so it can reflect/ shadow better. Then the bristles will just break down faster. Rollers are the way

They sell stripping kit rollers for most brands, riding, zero-turn and walk-behind mowers.
The crack on that new slab is rough. I'd ask about warranty.
There's 2 kinds of concrete. Concrete that isn't cracked, and concrete that isn't cracked yet lol. But I agree for sure that soon
@@HOWIE396 ehh for a pretty much non load bearing slab that's bad. The fact that home owners like Ryan are convinced that's normal makes me sad. Try using rebar/mesh and fiber reinforced concrete. That crack is terrible and clearly not a minor temp crack.
Who said I thought it was normal and that I haven't already addressed it?
Did you leave it out in the rain? There is a clear liquid collecting at the base of the motor.
Washed it
@@ryanknorrlawncare Just wanted to bring it up in case of a gas leak. 👍
Can you do an update review on this mower?
They will never give a clean cut no matter how sharp the blades are.interesting concept but it’s kind of like the poor man’s sports car.
Looks pretty cool, but my front yard's hilly up-and-down. And I think honestly the lack of the blade stop clutch is a deal breaker for me.
Thumbs up video, though!
Wouldn’t just putting a piece of tape around that handle fix it? Prob don’t want to if anyone else ever uses your mower or kids are around
@Jared Baxter Good idea. Velcro tape would work. I've done that for my electric hedge trimmer! I'm still worried about the hills, though.
What is it with people and being lazy to pull a modern easy start mower? I just don't get the necessity...
You could get a Cali Trimmer for the price of that rotary!
And you'd have all the same reel mower issues I mentioned in the video.
🌱👍
Let it grow tall and thick!!! Then cut it back shorter and shorter😊
You could even vary your walking and literally step on every part of the lawn walk across it to get to a corner to weed wack or pull weeds rake up a pile of grass or just inspect your cut and how the lawn feels
Pretty cool mower. In Ohio here no rain for some time now hopefully to get some this evening. Everyone in the neighborhood has cut their lawns short to kill them . Ours is still green sitting at 5 inches tall. Last time I cut was over a week ago and didn’t even drop the deck on the zero turn to try to save it. So far it’s working hope for this rain. 🙏
I have an electric rotary mower and I home built a roller that is roughly 30lbs and I couldn't be happier.
Wow Ryan, the yard is coming in really nicely!! I've never seen this mower before, it looks like it does a really good job! I think I'll stick with my commercial Honda with a stripper and my California reel mower, I'm getting really good results with this two mowers!! Take care and don't work too hard out there on the Westberry Ranch!
Good morning everyone!🌱☕️🌱. Ryan, your front yard looks amazing 👍
I think a brush would be best brush out forward and cut when it springs back
Trying to justify a $1600 to my wife...
It's been a while since I've seen your videos...glad to see the new place...now you don't have to see everyone wondering who the crazy lawn guy is or what he is up to
Same it hasn't rained in southern Illinois in a month....finally getting some today!
It's a allusion 🤪
Hi Ryan, if possible can you show the density of your new rye, thanks
You should try their reel mowers and give us a review
Hell yes yard looks 10 times better with a reel mower
Your front lawn looks awesome thanks again brother
Can you mulch with this mower?
Damn, that grass looks really good.
Cobra do something similar in the UK
Hey Moe! It's a hybrid.
How low will it mow?
1/2"
Really helpful thanks
Around the 4-5 minute mark it looks like some kind of liquid has leaked under the engine onto the frame???
Water from washing the mower
You're getting another reel mower? I thought you already had the electric and gas ones. It better be a ride on mower.
Not a ride on
Do I see a Hudson Star in your near future?
Too much grass for that 🙂
Roller mower all the time. 👍
That’s on the wishlist now!
For the love of God, I am over gas powered lawn tools.
Also, it's the 21st century. Self leveling mower is not that difficult. Look at what the RC world has achieved.
Love your work Ryan! Awesome videos.
Cant get the code to work on the lawn stryper
I just went to double check and it should be working so try again and let me know if you see any issues. Thanks!

Yes.
I'd like to see you do a video on the gen 3 lawn stryper please!

What happened to the swordsman u forgot to mention how high maintenance swordsmans are
I've never done anything to mine except sharpen the blade. I still have them for different uses
@@ryanknorrlawncare 👍
Are there strippers for riding mowers?
Ok your website ?
I do not care for striping. I have a Toro 2007 Super Recycler is running and I do no maintenance on it .Toro's are INDESTRUCTIBLE!!
First!
First
First!😆
Four hundred dollar lawn mower with a thousand dollar roller 😬😬😬
Non paid endorsement, but that Greenorr product is ridiculously good.
Glad you're enjoying it
The distributor, Seago in north Carolina says its currently unavailable.
Not to my knowledge which we speak with them often
Please let them know then as their website shows not available.
For $1700 might as well buy a reel mower.
