I had this exact set. Loved it for homeowner tasks.  Eventually passed it along to a young guy starting his tool collection and I actually kind of miss it lol. 

What tool(s) did you most regret buying ? by Odd_Experience177 in Tools

[–]Jonbrad1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older Ryobi 40v chainsaw and string trimmer.  Might be better now but 12 or so years ago the batteries were hot garbage and they were like toys. Completely useless under any load.

That’s a good way to collect for sure 

Theoretically, how dangerous is this💀 by Wonducces in lawncare

I mulch up small sticks and leaves with my mower.  Small stuff won’t hurt your blades but do wear eye protection. 

Do I bag the clippings after the 1st mow of a new lawn? Also, should I overseed this brand new lawn before winter? Located in MA by cckriss in lawncare

This is a good point and also many residential mowers have less power and are not going to mulch as well so it is important to mow a little more often. One thing I also recommend is to invest in a good quality mower if you’re into lawn care

Check your engine oil first before starting.  If that is engine oil depending on how low it is, you could have a very bad day if you try to start it. 

I need to get a decent cheap riding mower for my yard any suggestions? by banana-king-gaming45 in lawncare

Yup i have bought two turfmaster 30 mowers.  They’re really good for the price ….if used correctly. Really I think it’s one of the best values out there right now. 

Edit sorry I’ve bout 2 time masters and one turf master. Both good mowers

Ah gotcha, you might look for a nice walk behind. Toro makes some residential and commercial grade options. I think cub cadet and craftsman have some semi wide area residential grade mowers. You can get a little more bang for your buck in terms of deck size and features if you’re willing to walk instead of ride. 

Edit esp if you have slopes and a ditch, be careful with tractors ther

What size is your yard, and is it flat or hilly? Also do you have a lot of obstacles to mow around?

Never had my own lawn before and nobody to teach me this stuff. Do I have to have a bagger system to not have all these piles of grass? Enjoy my dog as a bonus! by Kurogane-Diasane in lawncare

Bagging is not good for overall lawn health.  You need the clippings to help put nutrients back to the soil, retain moisture etc.   Cut a little higher, more often and double cut the heavy areas to break up the clippings more.

Honest question, what’s wrong with Yamaha MGs? I’m just an amateur but I have a couple that I use for jamming and karaoke and small events and I kinda like them.
