Lol I just put this same fertilizer down on Tuesday with a Scott’s spreader. I found that setting at 4 1/2 to work perfectly on my yard! Look at Chris’s yard I’ve got a similar problem with hills! I do believe I‘ll be making an investment in a better spreader before the summer application!!!
The new ferts are set. The Spray Buddy is done, just awaiting the patent. And the 2021 guides are out. Now that you've seen what it takes to find the spreader settings... your new mission, should you choose to accept it: Build a spreader. If you build it, we will buy it. Have a great day and good luck with Jaxx' surgery!!!
Man Pete it is ALOT work fertilizing 1.5 acres with a push spreader.....so know your videos motivate us all.....to get it done!!!! Man....and big tire is a Heaven sent!!! Thanks!!! I love my Spreader and I don't let nothing get close to it and my battery sprayer!!! 😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Pete, I like the fact that you mention other youtube stars like Allyn Hane (Lawn Care Nut) on your channel. Both of you have great content. Allyn's synopsis of the Echo spreader was a mixed bag. As he said, there's no perfect spreader. He also used a luggage scale and a bucket to weigh the products to put in the spreader. Your method of eyeballing it work just fine as well. We're all eager to see how the new fert performs in place of the Carbon X products.
Great video guys! My yard is almost one acre and I need to purchase a new spreader. Debating on that same Echo RB60 for around $100 or the Lesco 50lb for around $300 I believe. Cant beat the $100 price on the Echo! I used a small hand held spreader all last summer 😆
Great training video. I got a good belly laugh when you said,”get a sun drop.” I have a shipmate from the Coast Guard that would sail with 6 cases of sun drop. He said it was his escape through a soda. Thank for the help and smiles.
Chris if you read the comments the yard is looking great. I think it must be time to make the yard pop even more with a good cleaning of the sidewalk and driveway.
Was thinking the same thing myself! Last summer was our first and only summer in the house and we didnt quite get to that! I will have it looking right soon enough!
Yeah down here in Florida we don't have them Hills to contend with once I've gotten the amount per square foot I start out low and I just keep walking Till It's Gone keeping track of how many passes and then tried to do the math take that trigger how to be a good thing to do a video for your new stump grinder for the ventrac👍👍
Hey Pete -- I was really encouraged when you said you'd work on figuring out some spreader settings for us! I know it must be a ton of work. I have the Scott's Edge Guard and actually don't have anything bad to say about it, lol!
So far so good here. I would buy it again considering both the price point and its features. Are there better spreaders out there?... Sure! But I dont wanna pay $500 to get one! Lol
I’m feeling kind of dumb right now (that’s not out of the ordinary). I put out a 22-0-4 weed and feed on January 4th. I have since read that the weed control doesn’t activate until above 55 degrees. Would the weed and feed have “washed out” since then, 8 weeks ago? I want to jump on the weeds here in central NC as we are about to hit a few consecutive warm days, but I am nervous about putting out more fert and weed control.
Just getting ready to throw mine out as well. Very helpful video. Look for some upcoming updates on my Instagram. Just did application of Prodiamine on the front today.
What region are you in? Isn't it early for pre-emergent in February? It's now beginning March for me, can I see now and pre-emergent in May or wait to seed again in the fall when I aerate? Thank you
Central NC. I would say yes, I was a bit early with the pre-emergent but I would rather be early than late and I have to plan my apps well around rain since I am not irrigated. 😎 soil temps did hit 55 degrees before I sprayed it down but then we had another cold snap. Next time ill wait till we have a few consistent days of 50 degree soil temps before pulling the trigger. The best time to seed is the fall.
My across the street neighbor so kindly didnt use a edge guard and threw his winterizer all in the road..i took notice couple days later on a evening walk..the wind came and blew it all on my edges🤔🤔😂😂
@@chrislong7083 we’re still melting a little snow here in NY... so I’m just plotting my attack! Got my GCI sticker on mine from the seed I got last year.
@@chrislong7083 funny story. I’ve been considering a mini fridge for a while for my garage, and out of nowhere last year my wife goes “how would you feel about a beer fridge in the garage?” (which is detached and full of woodworking tools). She was thinking to have extra room when we entertain, I like having cold soda and water out there after yard work! And so,we extra beer lol. I got it off a graduating college kid for like 25 bucks! I feel like there’s irony there.
Ha ha. Bro I don’t do airplanes. Lol. That would be a little re than down the street. But if I ever get up that way I’ll be sure to check you out friend
@@GCITurf My wife and I just traveled to GA in our van with 3 babies under 3. You definitely have to see WI in the fall!! Road trip 2021!! God bless you and your fam, hopefully Jaxx has a good visit in Philly!! 🙏🏻
I really enjoy your videos. Please, keep them coming. Note: Saying "You know what I mean?" indicates the hearer may not have the intelligence to understand what you are saying. Rather say, "Am I making myself clear?" so the question of intelligence is place on the speaker rather than the hearer. -Take it or leave it. There's no charge.
I wish spreader settings were universal. There's no reason to make every spreader different. There's also no reason for a company not to put common settings on their bags.
I like Chris. He's just like us ordinary guys. With the exception he has Pete come to his house for one on one help.
I like what he's done since the 1st time you showed this!

He's done a great job this year! Come a long way for sure!
I just bought this speader at mowers direct ( best price ) and now I have a setting to try, we will see! Thanks guys

Best video yet! Awesome job Pete and Chris. We really appreciate you Pete!
Such a inspiration Pete !! That's one heck of a yard , I'm sweating lol Great job guys . Sending prayers for Jaxx and your family 🙏!!
Good job boys....Best of luck to your boy Jack, Pete.

I use a Lesco for my home and some customers' lawns. It's an awesome spreader, you wouldn't regret buying it if you can afford it for just your home.
Great training video. I got a good belly laugh when you said,”get a sun drop.” I have a shipmate from the Coast Guard that would sail with 6 cases of sun drop. He said it was his escape through a soda. Thank for the help and smiles.
Man what a transformation at Chris's place. Looks really good. 👍🏻
Chris if you read the comments the yard is looking great. I think it must be time to make the yard pop even more with a good cleaning of the sidewalk and driveway.
I agree, looking a little rough.
Was thinking the same thing myself! Last summer was our first and only summer in the house and we didnt quite get to that! I will have it looking right soon enough!
I promise it shows up worse on Petes camera lol

Amen to that brother lol 👊 that's exactly the reason I went ahead and got this one,that and I'm also a huge fan of ECHO equipment in general 😏👍
What spreader setting are you using with the Protene Fertilizer?
Great video as always. Praying for Jaxx and you guys.
This is great video series! Feel free to come do another in indiana Pete
Great vid Pete!

Great video! I know it wasn’t a speeder review but it kinda was and I enjoyed it.
A fine mid tier spreader for what it costs! Gets the job done much easier than scotts!
I took a good guess at my setting with the Scott’s spreader and hit the nail on the head.
Scott's Elite 3 1/2 worked for me (80 SGN)
Just getting ready to throw mine out as well. Very helpful video. Look for some upcoming updates on my Instagram. Just did application of Prodiamine on the front today.
Great video! I have a slide type open it in my pull behind spreader, might have to get a new one.
Great video, for best results use scale and a 5 gallon pale to pour in fertilizer .
I grab my fishing scale out of the boat and do the same haha
Nothing like a little Spring cardio :)
We’ll get it right! Both me and the yard! 😂
That is a huge property!!
I love that shirt Pete!!!
Hey Pete, I have a case of Sundrop in glass bottles waiting for you. I can see road trip I might need a little help as well all flat!!!
I hit a hole in my yard last year with one of those small tire spreaders. I went down straight over the spreader. Thank goodness no one saw it!
Hope it was just milo!!!
What fertilizer is he putting down this time a year since pre emergent is down?
What region are you in? Isn't it early for pre-emergent in February?
It's now beginning March for me, can I see now and pre-emergent in May or wait to seed again in the fall when I aerate?

Is that a decent spreader?
I have that spreader too. Miles above the Scott’s. Especially the mini. Night and day. And I don’t even have hills. Get some stickers on that bad boy!
Needs a Protene sticker for sure! Yards greening up strong!💪🏼

I can still run circles around you though! And I wont have to take Advil the next day either. 😂😂😂
First Aussie 😁. Looks like you were itching to get into it Pete 😎👍👍
how much did this cost to feed the grass with this spread app?
3 bags of the Protene at $70 a bag if you factor in shipping. So $210. However, I am close enough to pick up for around $45 a bag so that helps!
@@chrislong7083 210 roughly per feeding and how many times will you fertilize your grass for the year?
@@chevyvega6622 four times per Pete’s cool season guide.
I kinda want Pete to come heckle me while I work in my yard.
Dang, that’s a monster yard. I think i would buy a pull spray tank for that sucker.
