This is the big reveal. I know I tease you guys for a while about what mower I was going to get, and this little baby has been on my radar for a long time. Take a look at the link below if you’d like to find out more about them. You need to plan on spending some money if you were going to go this route, but I guarantee you won’t find anything that will roll smoother or cut cleaner than the Hudson Star.
I will likely get into the story of the company later on, because it’s definitely worth sharing about. Here’s the thing, this machine is light, easy to handle, stripes the grass, cuts perfectly clean, and requires almost no Maintenance. This particular unit is there a PGA model, it cuts down to 3/32 of an inch and will have the ball rolling so fast at that level.
The other equipment that I have in this video or the R and R level lawn rake, the R and R hole cutter, as well as some flags and cups from their website. Take a look below if you were unfamiliar with them, I do not receive any commissions or referrals from any company listed in this video.
If you have been looking for a high-end, absolutely stellar reel mower that is light and easy to use, this could be the one for you. Just plan on getting your checkbook out because they are not cheap. You have to remember that for most reel mowers, the money isn’t in the engine, it’s in everything else.
Also in this video is some greens maintenance, top dressing, leveling with sand and levellawn rake, and just general info about the new putting surface.

I know a guy with that mower 😉. You’ll love it, I know I love mine
I gave my Fiskars away. Would you suggest this one for Centipede? Probably a good bit heavier than the Fiskars.
BRO ! I also have this SAME reel mower ! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ! I got mine for 100.00 bucks unopened at a estate sale by Martha’s Vineyard in California 👍🏻😀 when I first seen it within all the other stuff at the estate sale it was in its original box and the dude controlling who is buying what told me it was never opened because the owner broke his legs training his horse to do jumps over hurtles or something like that… so that means no walking so he just had a professional business come do his landscaping for him for 6 months he was planning on making a small putting green buy his pool ..lucky dude 😎 anyway the coordinator told me it was some manual mower that nobody wanted and of course my head exploded inside ! Because these things cost up to four or $5000 new and here I was about to own one for 100 you could imagine my shit eating grin that day all the way home ! I might’ve cried a little lol 😆 but yeah man I would never give mine up for any other electric gas or any other reel mower out there! There’s just nothing that compares to the feeling of surgeon like precision in the grips of your hands you can actually feel how insanely sharp the blades are when you’re cutting the grass I love pushing this mower along on a bright Saturday morning with a the nice cup of coffee and my favorite baseball game playing on the good old a.m. radio I literally am in heaven in that moment ! I’m so glad I found your channel ! #ENJOY The mow my friend ! 🇺🇸🤙🏻
Do the rollers help prevent scalping based on what you’ve experience owning this mower?
How much
how length of blade does your mower have
No mention of the price anywhere? What's this thing hit for?
Why can't I find a price in this?
Wonder how it would handle about a 15 20° slope, going up of course. The price is little steep you think these things will last awhile??
You set your vid to monetize trying to get rich & sh_t brah
Had to dislike video too many f_cking ads a_shole!
jesus christ! how much is it? I can't find the price of this thing
I went on their site and they will not even tell you how much they cost, you have to email them. PASS
I bought a used push reel mower, I have the style when you quit pushing the blade still turns, I remember those back in the 60's when I had to use one, I prefer that type versus the type you buy now, the blade stops when you stop.
I got super excited when I saw this as a dad with 3 kids and a mortgage. I thought yes this is it! No motor has to mean affordable! WRONG! I mean geez what are the blades made out of carbon Japanese katana steel!? $2100! I just don't get why reel mowers are so expensive. There has to be a company that can produce a 5 to $700 reel mower for the average homeowner. Even a McLane with what 200$ briggs and straton engine is $1200. I think it would sell out. I'd be happy with cheap replaceable reels. Just give me something I can cut homemade green low. Anyways had to vent! Love your channel BTW 👍
Where did you get the parts to raise it to 1 1/2 inches?
That is awesome man I love that mower and the yard looks great!!!
That was a awesome mower, wonders if they export to Sweden 🤔
That's a cool mower and as "green" as it gets. I'm so tired of breathing exhaust fumes when I mow the lawn. Great choice! Had to laugh at myself. I've been slightly concerned about the effect of walking all over and mowing twice my reseeding with kbg. Now I see I was clearly concerned about nothing. You're always redefining the "rules" in my mind, lol.
I want a Hudson, that thing has it all.
Does the fertilizing program for the green differ from the Seeding and Overseeding pack? Does it require more N than a standard lawn program ?
Nice mower!!!
True statement when John says I feel like I’m chasing around the JD when using 😆. At the slowest pace and it’s still a beast to handle.
That’s an awesome looking mower. Well designed.
Hiya John…that mower!!…OMG..and when you popped that hole in there…cmon man!…that why you Lawncology 👑..and I 🦀 grass cooker..I warmin up the putter brother☮️👍😎🏌🏻☕️
I love that mower! I want one!
Nice looking mower !
“Chasing the mower.” I couldn’t have said it any better. My wife makes fun of me when I use my GM1000 bc it walks me. This looks like an enjoyable mow.
Can you even mention the ballpark of the mower? $500, $2000?
Great work my friend 💪🏽
Looking good but what’s the best sand to use to level the lawn?
This is what i need but there is no Dealer in Europe 🥲
Green is coming along really nicely! This reel is the real reel mower! Reelly cool machine!
Very cool👍
Lookin good man!!
O man that’s gonna be badass! Sweet mower as well
Looks beautiful John! Keep it up!
Amazed at the roots for 3-1/2 weeks post germination. I thought the push broom might up root
the young plants, but apparently not. Looks like a well designed low maintenance mower too.
Nice choice John. Keep it simple.
Tight mower dude 👍
Super nice mower, I looked at one but had some 'sticker shock' as well. I saw a post on TLF where someone got one from FB Marketplace, almost brand new, for only $275. Lucky AF! If I could find one that cheap I would definitely go for it. I'm currently using the Fiskars reel with the front/rear roller conversion that Striperman pioneered. I'm diggin' it, but I'm sure you'll love the star even more.
Bought my first reel mower yesterday off facebook market place. A used earthwise 5 reel. I thought/think that thing was awesome. Guess there’s a smidge more room to improve lol
JP can plant a seed on a rock and those roots will grow right through it…
Where can I purchase one because I was thinking about buying a Mclane Reel Mower but if this cuts like the Mclane I rather save money and purchase this.
Cool looking mower.
Too bad they don't appear to be interested in selling to the DIY community.
Be careful where you whip it out.
So much lawn nerd goodness! Keep up the great work!
Looks awesome!! Any chance you might be naming your putting green?
That mower is awesome!!!
Nothing wrong with a manual reel mower coming from the" King of Manual Reel mowers" 🙂 Looking good
Please tell me that thing is under $500
