Yes, but will try cutting less leaving the grass blades longer. so the vacuumed shorter pieces may adhere less.

When I use our Honda gas mower to mow the lawn (dry), grass does not sick to the periphery of the inside of the mower. But when using our Ego electric mower, the grass does adhere. This causes clumps of grass to fall on the lawn. I've cleaned the inside and made sure it was dry, but the...

Oh my! I mowed the lawn and a golden brown powder coated the inside of the grass collecting bag, so there must be a big time fungal infection in the lawn. I've never experienced this in my >40 years of caring for a lawn. Is this due to the sod grower? Bad luck? Something we did in caring...

Thank you. YES... areas are dry. Have called the sod and irrigation installer. Using 15 ft. adjustable Toro nozzles with center screw NOT moved. 1. should I first try turning the center screw clockwise until the spray is altered? 2. will RainBird nozzles fit the 4" Toros? 3. is there a...

Thanks, Doc. However the saying of "common things happen commonly" might apply here. A moisture meter shows each of these rusty grass areas to be dry to very low, and the ground is difficult to pierce with a sharp object, consistent with the area being super-dry. I don't like the Toro 4"...

The sod company has poor customer service, but unlike the prior sod company, this sod has no Poa annua.

Our old bluegrass lawn was >20 years old and we never had the problem described below. A few months ago 80/20 Blue/Rye sod was installed. Watering 20 minutes 3x/week starting at 5AM. Mowing to 1.5 inches. In the past two weeks, areas of "rust" has appeared on some blades, but not in all...

A few months sod was installed. More and more I note that 10-20% of the blades grow faster and are turned differently. Is this the 20% rye blades in this sod said to be 80/20 blue/rye?

Irrespective of any internal damage, it runs/sounds fine so far. If anything more than a key is needed, I'd give it away. I'm not mechanically-skilled.

I called Honda tech support twice, and both agents were puzzled over this "key". They had two part numbers: 94901-16150 90751-ZG#-000 There was no long bar key. Seems I need to call a repair place.

WOW! Nice pix! It's a long groove just like the big pix (lower). I didn't see a small slot depicted in the top diagram. So how does it go if there is the lower config?

But sgkent posted. "The key flat side usually goes into the crankshaft.". Which is correct?

I am visually impaired and not mechanically inclined.

Is there a diagram of how this key fits in?

So it is not to prevent slipping, but to stop over-tightening?

Why is the mower working well without this key?

Thank you. The mower works fine despite not installing this toenail clipping (key).

They deny any problem.

New blue-rye sod was installed yesterday, OMG-- it has many clumps as in the photo. Anyone know what it is? Blades go in all directions. Will it overtake the lawn?

Somehow, this species got into the new fresh Rye-Blue sod This pretensis has a tubular stem, then has horizontal blades arising from the stem. It looks like Poe Annua or Annual Bluegrass. Here are pictures of the end of the fresh sod roll, a specimen pulled from the sod, and a view from the...

Fresh Bluegrass-Rye 50:50 for installation today. Here are a few pictures. The grass looks unusual. What do you think? Is this young blue-rye?

Final determination =. Annual Bluegrass growing in bluegrass- rye sod.

Our new lawn has to be removed and replaced because of many growths of Annual Bluegrass. Can/Should a pre-emergent be applied to the new replacement sod to stop improper growths our contamination? If the pre-emergent is safe and effective, which one to use?

Which way does this key face? Is the rounded part in the shaft or in the blade assembly? (Looks like a toenail clipping!) https://www.motoculture-distri-piece.fr/Files/131432/Img/24/a75018b-zoo.jpg

A Professor of Agriculture/Grasses/Weeds said the new sod must be removed immediately and new sod laid. I will not need to pay anything. He also said RoundUp not needed since spores have not yet formed, Wonder how the sod company will make certain this will not happen again. Off topic...

Oooops! Wrong thread. This was a meant for. engine repair. The KEY is a small piece of metal which fits in slots (shaft and blade holder)

Yes, RoundUp®. How does the KEY installed??? Does the curved part go in the shaft or into the collar?

Soil test normal / good. Are these specimens normal grass?

Eight weeks ago new rye-blue grass was professionally installed. The workers followed all the directions re: soil amendments, rototill, leveling, etc. It looked fine until after mowing >6 weeks after install. The sod was authentic and came directly and freshly from a well-known sod grower...

There's a groove on the shaft and on the blade assembly. Looks like it needs a key. Anyone have a link to it? Is there also a spring needed?

Thank you. What you stated is slightly above my pay grade. I read somewhere that Honda purposefully makes the bolt the weakest part to prevent any other damage. I have spare blades. Yes, this HRR2167VKA has upper and lower blades which is barely seen in the picture. This seems to be the...

Hello. The blades hit a solid brick and the central bolt broke releasing the two blades. Very scary. See picture. I cannot find where to purchase a new bolt (? and washer) to reattach these two blades. Yes, the remains of the bolt will first need extraction. When I search websites for the...

A neighbor gave me a new bottle of Barricade and it is alleged to be a pre-emergent stopping weeds for a year. Anyone here have experience with it?

What are your favorite pre-emergents?

Which "stuff" ?

Rivets, what does "we end" mean? Thank you. This website features Strike-3 for sale, and also has a weed guide: https://www.pedchem.com/products/wf-strike-three-herbicide-weed-killer?variant=1268601636 BUT there is no listing for nimblewill so it seems Strike-3 will not control Nimble.

Thank you, Gym. Yes, for six years I've applied Tenacity 3x/growing season. But the last two seasons even double strength applications made no difference, even though there was mild blanching of the entire grass. So I gave me this year not knowing of anything except Tenacity. It is hoped...

I don't understand your first sentence. The lawn is flat, yes. There are at least four different grasses and three different weeds. Nimblewill is now dormant. Strong roots from a nearby hedge are invading 20% the lawn. Soil is hard/compressed in areas. About 20% of the lawn is not even in...

Unfortunately two reps (Scott's) said they do not deal or know about marker dyes.

Our 25+ year old lawn needs replacing. The grass company said to mow it, fertilize it, and when the weeds and grass are 1" tall, spray it with RoundUp super concentrate mix, using 2.5 oz/gallon/300 sq. ft. Three to seven days later, shave off the grass and then do the usual things to place...

Were you aware of this? The dye supposedly decreases the potency of the glyphosate. Scott's recommends 2.6 oz. RU concentrate per gallon of water since they classify Nimblewill as a difficult weed to kill;.

Half inch? One inch? Two inches?

Have any of you placed raccoon wire on top of your new sod? Was it effective and without adverse effects?

Where may I find a video and/or text on the best methods of removing old lawn, preparing the remaining ground, and installing sod?

Really? Didn't know that. So which chemical do you recommend to perform this task of effective destruction and immediate new sod replacement?

It doesn't sound as effective as " glyphosate". Disregarding my suggestion, which chemical(s) would you use to kill the lawn and weeds and yet allow immediate replacement of the elderly lawn with fresh sod?

Thank you. I missed that part. This chemical sounds ideal for this purpose.. Labels are difficult to read 1. So for 1,500 sq. ft. of lawn with weeds, how much of this concentrate is needed.? 2. Is it okay to add surfactant and blue marker dye just like the additives to Tenacity?

"Not approved for use in California" ??? What a headache to read! Do you agree that this chemical will destroy old grass and weeds and allow placing new sod after soil rototilling and additions? Is it safe to use to the drip line of a fruit tree?

Our 20+ year old lawn needs to be replaced. The proposed landscaper/gardener suggested that we mow the lawn to an inch length, and spray with "Ortho GroundClear Weed and Grass Killer" which has 40% Ammonium Nonanoate and no RoundUp. The label doesn't indicate that one can lay down sod right...
