Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky. It's raining. I'm here with Larry DelSanti, and we just had a Guinness World Records with the Relco
engine. Yeah, man. That Relco engine had some kick to it, man. It's 999cc, 41 horsepower. It was throwing the grass like 10 feet out of it. It was amazing.
Yeah, so that was quite the experience watching Haley mow this football field and break that record.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, she did it fast. I mean, I think it was like 14 minutes and 51 seconds. It was crazy. She was flying up and down the field. I think how many passes was it? It was like probably 32, 33. I wasn't counting, but it was amazing. It's like a very clean cut for how high that grass was.
Yeah,
grass was
looking at like six inches, Kentucky bluegrass. It's raining now. It was raining this morning. Thankfully, we got
it in. That was a blessing that it didn't rain on us. Yeah, it was close. I mean, they're planning on changing the event to tomorrow, which wasn't going to work out a lot of times for everybody. Right, right.
How did Haley Ryman set the Guinness World Record on the football field?
So I
flew in, and there was dark storm clouds, and I was like, oh, no. And somehow it stayed nice. Chris Kaiser was here, the president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute. Eric Fontaine was here, the president of RELCO. Donald Trump was here, the president of the United States. He
didn't show up today. This place was bumping. Yeah, there was a lot of people that showed up for it. Going back to the field, like mowers don't really cut well in wet conditions. And this field was definitely wet today. And RELCO did want to have like natural conditions, like real life conditions. And they definitely had it today on this field. Yeah. So tell us back in New Jersey, what's your business? What do you guys specialize in? So we specialize in like lawn maintenance, pavers, retaining walls, stuff like that. You know, Tom's River area, Tom's River, New Jersey. Been in business since like 1997. Started off just cutting lawns and now moved into more pavers, retaining walls. And how did you get teamed up with Michael Garvey?
So a good friend of ours, my kid's godfather, his name's Jim Cleveland, he had him as a basketball student in school, and he teamed us up together to start Coastal Fertilization. Yeah.
Yeah. So you do fertilizer. We control in addition to mowing grass, in addition to stone patio pavers. Yes. And then now we have a
robotic mower company. Yeah. Now you're a dealer for Crest Commercial. Yeah. How's that been going? Going great. I mean, you know, we didn't want to kick it off too fast. A lot of learning it, like a lot of learning the robotic mowers and stuff. But it looks like it's going to be really successful. It's going to be really successful. Yeah, that's really exciting. That's where the whole industry is going to start going into the battery-operated handheld tools and all that stuff, I feel like. Yeah. Well, we're here
in Louisville,
Kentucky. How many years have you been coming here for Equip? I think this is going to be my eighth or ninth year coming for Equip. Wow. Every year, it just gets better, man. It's just amazing. They do an amazing job with the event. I can't wait to come back this October. And this year you guys are doing like a podcasting house? Yeah, we're doing a, we have a thing called Pod House.
