"Then after gaining enough exp, I decided that it worked out to be faster mowing the lawn twice."
He was seen going over the grass after using a switch on the side of the mower to raise it.
Then he quickly went over the grass to reduce some of the length, before using a switch on the side of the mower to lower it back down to the desired trim.
He added: "Once on a high setting and then again on the desired setting. It's a bonus if you line trim the edges in between since it is easier to see and you can catch it on the second run-through."
TikTok users were left amazed by the clip as many people didn't realise they could adjust the trim on their lawnmowers. One user said: "Oh, you're a genius I would have never figured that out."
Another person chimed in: "Nah, just lift the front of the mower when it's about to shut off," while a third remarked: "Wait..... mowers can be adjusted? ".
