Mower for buisness

[slammed]

I don't no maybe tricky isn't the right word, maybe just a PITA with all the shifting and braking you have to do and not being able to get into those tight spots, there just to time consuming and to much work involved in using a belt drive and the peerless drive on some models absolutely sucks.
If you're using the Hydro model that maybe alright but then the price goes up a lot and for the price they want for the Hydro model you can buy a stander or a ztr. Like I said I went that way and the thing was a PITA. But hey that's just me, if you like the things have at it, I'll stay with my GS.

The one I have works really well not time consuming and you can get it in to some real tight places.

Yes it can be annoying not being able to get into tight spots. For the most part I like mine but sometimes It would be easier with a different mower.

If you would get a "different mower", what do you think it would be??

Defianatly a zt stander. My brother has a couple 52 inch great dane standers and i like those a lot. Once you get used to it, its very easy to use and can save a lot of time. The mower I have now is not bad though. I can do lawns very quick and it everything works good. There are just some spots that i cant get into beacause its so long that i would have to go in forward then put it in reverse and back out. Also I use a sulky so to back up with that you usually have to put it up or it just turns so you cant back up. overall the mower I have now works out good and in any tight spots i just use a push mower.

Yeah, I would probably get a stander if I got another one (which I hope to). What I like about the Toro Grandstand (and probably all the other standers) is that you can stand on it OR put the thing up and use it as a walk-behind mower! :thumbsup:

Ya on the ones that my brother uses you cannot do that. It does seem like a good feature and i have heard good things about those mowers. Also a lot of companies around here are using Wright standers. I have never used one but i see them everywhere. They look like good mowers.

I see a lot of the Wright standers around here and they look good. I looked in a brochure I have and the Exmark Vantage (stander) also has the foldable stand-on platform. I looked at the Scag website at their V-Ride and it says the platform folds up for transport, so I am assuming it means you can use it was a walk-behind, just like the Toro and Exmark.

With the Scag V-Ride the operator rides on a coil spring suspension platform with 3.5 inch springs and I don't believe it can be used as a walk behind. The Toro and Exmark use a rubber suspension along with the rubber comfort pad on the platform itself for comfort. With the Wright the platform is more or less fixed for its operator, there's no movement available for your feet and from what I understand very little suspension in the platform and it also uses I believe duel controls where the others do not.
There are advantages and disadvantages to all the standers, it all comes down to what the operator likes or dislikes. As far as what mower is the best goes, I think a person should look at warranty when buying any mower and the Toro GS with a 5 year or 1200 hour warranty will be hard to beat.

Yeah, if I would get a stander (which I want to) I would get the Toro GS.
