5 Ways To Get the Most Out Of Your Trimmer Line

Posted by Master Mechanic in News, Maintenance on Jul 13, 2015 .

 

Time is money, and when commercial landscapers find themselves spending more and more time adjusting, replacing or repairing trimmer line and heads, it starts to cost money! One of the easiest ways to keep a string trimmer performing starts with the trimmer line itself. 

 

Storage. Keep the line cool and out of the sun. A spool of line stored in direct sun runs the risk of UV rays breaking down the line, making it brittle. Commercial-grade line will stand up to rocks, weeds and other obstacles, but trimmer line baking in the sun will require more time and attention. The trimmer and especially the trimmer head suffer...

Ethanol Continues to Cause Costly Repairs in Outdoor Power Equipment

Posted by Master Mechanic in News, Maintenance on Jul 07, 2015 .

 

Today's equipment is far more complex and precise to meet environmental and noise regulations. 

When they are functioning as designed, they are extremely productive and efficient.

 

All lawnmowers and chainsaws. They all use gasoline for fuel, and this brings up ethanol, that additive that can be good and bad.

 

Ethanol is promoted as a means to make oil supplies go further. 

 

Ethanol is made from vegetation, and corn is a primary source. Growing corn for making ethanol has been a boost to agricultural interests. 

 

Ethanol works well in vehicles and usually in big outboards of late...

Consumer Reports Praise Toro's New Steerable Zero Turns

Posted by Master Mechanic in Product Reviews, News on May 13, 2015 .

Consumer Reports has been singing the praises of  Toro's SW and SWX steering wheels on zero-turn-radius riding mowers. 

If you really, really want a zero-turn but someone who mows the lawn can’t get the hang of lap-bars then a steering wheel zero-turn is for you.  The Toro’s steering wheel and steerable front wheels—rather than levers and casters—allow more intuitive control, especially on slopes, and automatically slow down on sharp turns. In addition to requiring fewer passes around a tree or other obstruction, the speed reduction also results in fewer patches of grass that are essentially scraped...

Landscaping Saves Money and Quickly Boosts Your Home's Value

Posted by Master Mechanic in News, Home Improvement on Apr 09, 2015 .

 

I admit it. It turns out that one of the best home-remodeling projects in terms of return on investment is landscaping.

 

Landscaping projects can have a recovery value of 100-200 percent if done well. The same story reported recovery values of 75-125 percent for a kitchen remodel, 80-120 percent for a bathroom and 20-50 percent for a swimming pool. Simply put, landscaping can significantly affect property values. When done right, it can add significant value to a home. When landscaping is done poorly, or is neglected, it can take away value.

 

But wait! I'm not intending to sell my house any time soon. I...

Start Turning Your Gardens with the Right Tools

Posted by Master Mechanic in News, Home Improvement on Apr 09, 2015 .

 

Proper tools can churn up soil in a short amount of time to make landscaping projects that much easier.

 

The right tools for the job can be the difference between an interminable landscaping project and one that goes smoothly and efficiently. Aspiring landscapers probably have a few shovels and rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for basic landscaping work. But while such tools are effective for certain projects, when it comes to churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy. It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center to purchase or rent one of...
