any issues using this after summer fertilizer etc put down ?

As you found out, 10 and 20 minutes per zone is a waste of water. Not even getting the dirt wet. Most need 40 min per zone. Garden hose watering will take even longer. Why, there is less pressure and volume doing this compared to an irrigation system where the water comes next to most peoples meters.

At 5:43 in the video, you can see how LOW your rotors are. Whomever installed those 4 inch rotors with your grass type should be "edumacated".

Your system needs attention. First you need 6 inch popup rotors. Cool season grass is cut taller than southern lawns. Your heads are not above the grass leaves. You are getting a poor spray pattern from the tall grass. Also never run a rotor wide open meaning not diffused down. The more you diffuse the more you get what Rain Bird calls rain curtain action or more even watering from rotor to apogee of water stream. I think from the video you have some diffusion or it's from the wind. Yes diffusion lowers max water throw slash range.

Its war😂😂😂

Someone needs to make a set of lawn mower blades like this to fit lawn mowers and tractors a cut blade of grass grows more healthy then a blade that wipes around to cut the grass more like a reel mower cuts. You know when i was a kid back in the 60s we used something like sheep shears to trim the edges down on our knees. Thats why weed Wackers took over. A weed wacker back then was a metal blade on a pole you wiped back and forth. Ive got both tools but at age 64 im not about to get on my hands and knees or sling a pole back and forth.

I like that tool, and i have the quick lock system edger, string trimmer and chain saw. They also made a broom and a few other things. One thing this tool needs is a hight adjustment and wheel for edging. You should edge with the edger once or twice a year and use the clippers to cut that way you have a gap between the pavement and lawn that way you do not damage the blades. Plus the gap looks nice

So you spread out the compost first then add seed? Should I use a roller to push seed down a little?

$500 CND OMG, no thanks, I'll stick with my string trimmer.

Nice video, Brandon!

Let's go Brandon

This is an excellent video. When I have talked to beginners I always start with mowing practices then weeding. You can fertilize all you want, but if you are scalping your lawn once a week vs taking a little off the top twice a week, the grass is never going to look its best.

New M18 owner here. Rural property . . . very rough and weedy. Hilly also. Replaces a gas manual push mower, 21 years old, purchase price $400CDN in 2003. Gas mower still worked fine but my knees no longer appreciated pushing it up the hills. All that said. I am perfectly happy with the performance of this mower but under no illusions about the cost/benefit ratio of a battery powered device where replacement batteries cost, here in Atlantic Canada $675 after taxes! Preposterous really. I think I need my head examined! And those batteries are ALREADY obsoleted by the new, even more costly "FORGE" batteries from Milwaukee. So, this mower is absolutely not to be recommended to the budget conscious! But, I'd likely do it over again.

Nice job Brandon on this video. Your TTTF is looking great. I am an old guy and have been doing this for a long time. By no means an expert but learned a lot over the years . For the first time homeowner or someone looking to take care of their lawn for the first time they should follow this channel and series of videos. Well explained and demonstrated. The basics are what all we really need to do. I have been down the rabbit hole of equipment and products since watching RUclips and now I am just going back to the basics to save money and the results have been great. Keep up the great work.

Back to the basics. No need to make it complicated. 👍🏻

400 dollars is insane for a product so late to the game. The Idech power rotary scissors are $160 all day everyday on eBay with adapters for every trimmer that doesn’t have a head based motor. I bought a refurbished Husqvarna 128 and some rotary scissors for a total of less than 280 dollars complete out the door. AND you can grease them. To say you don’t have to grease rotary scissors is a lie. That Milwaukee runs on hopes and dreams 😂

Nice Video. Could you please let me know what size of quick connect you use? I will replace the gun with a pressure washer gun M22. I am starting weed control and just bought the unit. Thanks

Thank you.

What was your chemical mixture? It helps to know that if you're gonna tell people how to spray like a pro

I could never get one, my wife likes to sneak the weed whacker, I'd come home to her trying to cut trees with it. Secondly I'd never buy anything battery powered

There's no safety piece that prevents you from getting too close to a pole or a tree and seeing you trim that around the sidewalk I can't walk that straight and quite frankly I don't think it's safe to use except for maybe cutting some heavier grass but trying to edge with it no way thanks

$400?! The Milwaukee hedge trimmer is literally half that and it’s an entire tool not just a stick with a blade on the end. Holy crap I’m half ready to abandon Milwaukee that is so outrageous.

Cut your grass, water, apply product and water again

Sorry man but this demonstration really does no justice when you're grass is full & already green. J/S coming from a Floridan. Thanks for the video however. 👍💚

Does the invatech leak? I’ve used two stihls and both of those leaked

Kawasaki had this many years ago and even made it for redmax

leaks around the top too much.

Thank You for a nice brief...talking about all the considerations. I will try it on my lawn.

Haven't quite pulled the trigger on a quik-lok yet but am leaning heavily that way. But the cost of these rotaries will likely keep me string trimming for the foreseeable future. And edging with it seems murderous on the blades!

Its not something we wanna do but we gotta do it you feel me

The gas tomahawk obviously has the correct amount of power and is blowing the pesticide under the leaves (where mosquitoes stay the most). The battery barely made a leaf move… I would def not recommend a battery mister. Especially for large properties of an acre or more

Milwaukee is getting way too expensive for their tools. This blocks a lot of customers from wanting to buy into their battery platform

I thought perrenial ryegrass doesn’t spread like KBg? It’s a bunch type grass

I have the 3 tine landsey and took out the middle tine. Even with 2 tines like yours my sandy soil is so compacted I cant even get it down 1/8th inch even with my 200lbs frame. I'm thinking my last option here is to drill my areas that is giving me a headache lol

Piss off. U Biden voter

How many gallons of water for 3000 sq ft yard?

10 minutes a day isn’t enough

It’s helped me a lot over the past few years. I loved it.

Ego is the best. So many videos have proved this. Milwaukee is right behind it

Wow what great Attachment! I love your Lawn mower those cut so much better !

Great video....question: I'm considering buying Greenway Biotech Ammonium Sulfate 21-0-0 Fertilizer Contains 21% Water Soluble Nitrogen & 24% Sulfur. It's a granular. Would you say that this is a good source of ammonium sulfate? Thanks in advance....

Shame the volume is so bad.

Redmax had this 20 years ago Good for all kinds of things

Thanks. 🙏🏽

I’d rather hear the mower than that stupid music!!!

Damn this thing got a bigger motor than both my motorcycles.

I’m a commercial applicator , I have the same one , works awesome , much better than the big pest rigs , bigger is not always better

Very nice video. Good points for your climate. However, your headline says, “Mow like a Pro.” In my experience, that’s generally not good advice. While there are some good “Professionals” (i.e., those you pay to do it for you), many, if not most, are focused mainly on going through motions to get the job done fast and get out as quickly as possible. (To them it’s only about making as much money as quickly as possible, not about caring for your lawn.) Most of them tear over your modest yard with a huge industrial, sit-on or stand-on beast of a mower in the same direction (the easiest) each time. The mower is often set to cut too short, and leaves tire ruts and sometimes even skid marks. Then, using a string trimmer, they do a quick, pitiful hack-job of trimming where they rip the grass on an angle down to the dirt along your house and other objects, and perform so-called edging where they continue to hold their string trimmer horizontally (either because they’re too lazy or just don’t know better), and do the same angled scalping of the grass in strips alongside the pavement or bed. (It’s as though they’re not there to take care of your lawn, they’re there to kill it.) If you care about how your lawn looks, mow, trim, and edge it yourself using the good advice of this video as long as you can. When you no longer can do it yourself and need to hire a “Professional” service to do it, good luck.

Can't see spending 400$ on attachment, i mean weed trimmer are usually about the same price, and think about how much they want for the power head whether it is gas or electric.

Proof is that you didn't water 50% less as advertised. So proved it doesn't save money or work.
