First Cut On The Renovated TifTuf Couch (Bermuda) // Protea Brush Cartridge

Today I give my TifTuf it's first cut after I gave it a heavy topdress with sand to make it level. I also try the protea brush cartridge and show you how long it takes to change the cartridges.

A lot of comments about how painful it seems to remove the cartridges. Yes, it did take time, but this was my first time doing it. Also, this machine wasn’t specifically designed to use other cartridges as it’s main feature. Also think about it, how often am I going to be changing cartridges? Once a month at the most? Anyway, the protea is far better for cutting at greens height and doesn’t float on top. The Swardman is great for cartridges though 👌🏽

The transition at around 10 min was by far the best one I've seen

I’m a groundskeeper at a country club in the summer when I’m home from college, it’s currently winter and it’s a drag. With you being in Australia where it’s summer, it’s almost like I can enjoy the treats of summer thru your videos and it’s awesome. Thanks for all the good stuff man

Taking time and Fiddling with the mower whilst taking bits off is all part of the enjoyment if you ask me and like you said it gets you out of the office! Win win

The cartridge swap out with a Swardman looks far, far superior. What a massive pain in a neck with that new mower!

As a golfer I am so happy you are doing this!

I miss my old Bermuda. You can beat it to the ground and it will laugh and come back stronger.

It seems like a pain in the ass to use that brush attachment. Oh well, it might be quicker after a few times. The TifTuf is looking good.

I love Australian houses, no messing around nice simple layout.

[Zomsky]

Holy crap what a phaff around to get that brush in!

the half round moon thing is a woodruff key. And you should get some motorcycle chain lube for the chains, its sticky and will stay on longer.

Also, go to your local bike shop and get some master-link pliers. Bike chains have the same link on them and the pliers makes it SUPER easy to get the link out and back in. Might just work for your chain...

I legit have no interest in using this tool on my own lawn but its just for some reason satisfying seeing the whole restoration, good work brother

After the brush, I’d give the lawn a light water to settle the soil back down. Also perfect strategy when mowing after a topdress - light water, then mow. No soil pickup, no blunt bottom blade or cylinder.

nice video man! pumped to see the lawn!

[calebevans]

Matt's lawn starting to look good in the back ground 👍 whens time for a video?

[jamiemittermuller]

I’d return the protea and keep the swardman better suited to you and your needs. How you going to edge the Bermuda when the swardmann gone?

So did the neighbors to the left see how awesome the lawn looks and said take over the entire patch including their section of the yard (with tiftuf)?
