Testing Toro's Revolution mower in a 6 foot tall WET swamp

What happens here

During continuous mowing, the mower encounters and cuts through a fence wire. The presenter immediately stops the mower to assess the damage. He notes that the mower cut the wire "straight through." He inspects the blades, which appear undamaged, highlighting the durability and the effectiveness of the individual motor design in preventing catastrophic failure. He briefly jokes about a grasshopper found during the inspection. The mowing continues along the edge of a pond, showcasing the mower's ability to handle uneven and potentially wet terrain. The presenter encounters a piece of driftwood, demonstrating the mower's ability to bounce over it without issues, again highlighting its robust design. He also encounters a large bullfrog, which is accidentally run over (and thrown off-camera).

Goal: Demonstrate mower durability, safety, and maneuverability in varied environments.

[Applause] [Music] something I want to show you guys and that's the load. Hopefully we can see this. Let's let's pop you guys on the dash here for a minute. We'll take a look at the load on blades as we're cutting. That's some big stuff right there. Look at those blades. The center blade is taking the most right now. That's the heaviest load. Actually see it in the dash there. I don't know if you guys can see that. I hope you can. And as we come out, no load. Pull back in. See what the load is like. My daughter knew I was mowing a mulling plant over. have my head on a platter. Zero clue. Like this is called a mullen plant. Oops. Looks like I trimmed it up a little bit too much. You know what I used to use them for? She says they're medicinal. I used them to wipe my butt when we were out in the woods cuz they're really soft. But now you got this stuff over here. And this is stinging nettle. And that crap will make you itch soon as you touch it. So don't touch it. But that's super medicinal. Don't ask me how, when, where, or why, cuz I'm not her. But anyway, you guys are like, I don't really care about that. I want to know about the lawn mower. All right. Well, let's keep mowing stuff with the lawn mower. [Music] That is not good. Don't tell Don't tell my uncle. You guys, the rest of that wire's got to be in here somewhere. I don't feel like mowing through wire anymore. I don't know if you guys heard it or not. Let's see. Hear me? Good. [Applause] Looks good. See how these blades are doing so far. Oh, they're looking nice. Crispy. Fing. Still looking crispy. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I found the rest of the wire we cut through. Yep. She went straight through her. [Music] All right, let's grab a snack here real quick and move on to the next phase. Looks like lunch is on mother nature today. Careful when you pick raspberries. You don't pick and eat them too fast. Sometimes you eat a bug. All right, let's try to cut our way down to the water. See how that does. Christ up. Okay, last thing I want to do is bury a $30,000 grandstand in a swamp, but I have been caught up. I found a a ridge here. We're just going to try to drive it out. Okay. Well, I don't think we're going to be going that way any further. As soon as I let go of the handlebars, the e bra sets on and I don't there's no manual brake that I have to worry about. But let's talk about the price of this mower and a couple of the things that uh that would maybe make you pause for hesitation. The price…
