Rebuttal: -A sit down mower gives the legs a break since you are walking with a trimmer and blower quite a bit. -A sit down mower allows you to feather the deck a lot easier when going over bumps and such so you don’t scalp -A sit down mower can handle hills far better -A sit down mower actually tears up the turf LESS when doing maneuvers because the engine weight is over the wheels. On a stander the drive wheels don’t have much weight over them so they spin out far easier and tear up the grass. -although it’s less convenient on a sit-down, you can still blow down pavement from the mower. Either use a handheld blower with one hand, or use a backpack. You wear but let it rest on top of the seat. I’ve used both and kind of hate the standers. However I don’t begrudge people their opinions and glad you’re liking them!

I use a gravely 44” zero turn rider, I can’t “stand” the stand-on mowers but to each their own. Thanks for sharing this, great info

I got a stand on because I messed my back up and its been a life saver. Its so much more comfortable to mow with.

It won’t go the places my walk behind will….

I use a ferris z2 stander daily and I 100% agree with every point you made

Correct on everything. Still I only use sit down bc when you get older it’s absolutely easier to sit than to stand all day long.

New subscriber. I subscribed for the stripes. Lol Started watching your other videos and as a “lawn dude” myself there are something’s I totally disagree with you on but this one, I can’t argue with. Standers all day everyday.

Spartan offers an add on feature, for one of their stand on models, that attaches a seat for long mowing needs.

I used a stander for a couple days when one of our sit down machines was down and the dealer loaned us a stander for the time being. I really liked having the elevated view of the deck, and it was definitely fun and different to use. Both have their pros and cons, but I’d still prefer a sit down for the most part. But I’d love to have a stand on for those properties that are too big for a walk behind, but too small for a big commercial rider.

I totally Agree- Stand On mower is the way to go for all the reasons you mentioned and then some ..!! But like the guy said below .. to each their own .. he prefers sit down .. and who am I to tell anyone what’s better for them,, but I’m certainly in agreement that for me Stand On is by far the way to go ..!! Any amount of time on a Stand-On and I believe most would agree again for all the reasons you mentioned..!! Again my opinion- they’re so much more fun too drive .. every time I get on the thing it’s a blast .. Exmark Vantage 52” mulching mower and JD 652R MOD .. 2 great Stand-On Mowers ..!! Great video .. thanks ..!! 💥

I use to cut commercially with a sit down. Hearing you on this comparison I have to agree. Just wish I I thought about it then.

Love the content. Watching from Albuquerque New Mexico

My lawn is on the fringe of being too large for me to mow without a break, it’s roughly 1/3 of an acre Ranch/Rambler style city lot built in the 1950s and I can hit it with my walk behind Toro in about an hour and a half, 2 hours if I take a brief rest before hitting the backyard. (Backyard is Buffalo, front is Bermuda, so I never do both on the same day unless my schedule rotation overlaps) I’m confident that a standing mower would make that like an hour shorter, but at my age (29) I tend to enjoy the work/energy it takes to do that every few days during warm season. It might be a different story in a decade or two though, so I’m just enjoying it while I can.

I have a Wright Stander B 52'' and a Exmark Lazer Z 60'' (sitter). Overall, like my stander. The footprint of it is way smaller, nimble and light. Standing takes way less of a beating on your back.(unless your running a Ferris sitter with 300 lbs of coil over shocks) Sitters have some big plusses including deck feathering, able to hug hills and overall more stable maneuverability. Getting at your hydros, fluids and maintenance items are generally much easier on standers which holds a lot of value to me. They both have different/unique applications. End of the day, run what makes you happiest!

I use a wright 60” stander love it I like all 3 styles they all have their own place but i still prefer a stand on I agree with everything you said in the video.

Good stuff, you are right!

I'm a bit "older", and I prefer a rider. With a suspension seat. That seat is a game changer. I admit that the stand ons would be better when you have to get off and on a bunch, but for me, riding wins.

You couldn’t of said it better. Our lawn part of our business is small (2 days a week) any who last yr. Converted to only sit down. Huge mistake for my personally. Easy on, easy off, is completely underrated.

I love stand on mowers I've gone on some steep hills side ways with them and u can dip down low n get under some trees that branches hang as low as the mower controls worked for 4 company's now n told last 3 get stand on mowers they hug hills

Facts i had a Wright Stander and it was the 1st of its kind and it was a great lawnmower

I hate telling ppl I have one leg and I cut grass for extra money so I really do need the zero turn I see the stand on mowers a lot but I really can’t use that kind

I love stand on mowers they are so much more better than a sit down we run scag vrides so that’s my preference of stand ons

Can you send the link to your striping kit. Your yards always look so good!

I have both stand on and sit on john deere mowers. I prefer the sit on with suspension seat. I don't care nothing about riding a stand on all day it wears my legs out for some reason plus their hot on your legs. They do come in handy when it comes to blowing off.

All valid points, even why you might want a sit down. I'd summarize it this way: if your body can handle a stander, then it is the better platform.

Where do I get those glasses

I’ve got a 54” Raptor SD sit-on-my-ass mower because it takes me a long time to mow 5 acres…plus I’m old. 👍🏼

The only point I agree will is using it to blow off when you’re done, zero turn is much better

Stand on hands down the best option for great look and safety

Why did you choose Hustler stand ons? Im looking at purchasing a stand on. JD, Wright or Hustler. 36-48" Any feedback on why you like the Hustler would be great. Thanks

All you can do with your feet on a stand mower is stand with them. While sitting on my Dixon one foot can raise the deck for obsticals and my other foot can raise the chute because I made a mechanism to do so. There is a longer list of good things about sitters than standers.

Line of sight is critical when mowing grass,for me anyway.At 5’6” ,I need all the height I can get.

Im 55 and feel stand on is the only way to go. I mow 1 to 6 acre properties with no issues.

Working on a stand on is a nightmare. Everything is so tight to work on.

You're going to need the sit-down mower after years of your knees and spine shock absorbing

Is there a bag catcher for a stand on mower? I’m interested in getting one but I’d like to be able to bag the clippings, west Texas is horrible on stickers and don’t want to spread more goat head around or other seeds that isn’t grass.

These mowers are the heaviest mowers made and will leave ruts or tire marks in any soft or sandy soil which is what Florida yards are made with. I would not let a yard service use this type of mower in any yards here for that reason.

You can also pop some sweet wheelies going up inclined driveways haha

I want to get a Deere QuikTrak Pro 52 stand on with rear discharge. Also what are your sunglasses, those are sweet, could you provide me with some info?? Thank you

What’s the width of those? Be curious to see if it would fit through my back gate

awesome video

If still prefer a sit down mower any day than a grandstand or push/walkbehind mower

I'm going on 62 in two months to the day and I'm pretty sure I'll go for a stand on.

For a sitdown mower. The most comfort comes on a ferris. The suspension is amazing. Nothing else in its class. Full suspension. Not just a floating seat.

What kind of grass is that do you know? Is that what makes it stripe so good?

What kind of glasses are those

What the best way to acquire a stand on mower if just starting out

Works for young people. Old folks, or with bad joints not so much.

I don't have to get off my Dixon to pick up trash. That is what a cheap folding hand extension tool is for. I can have a square pail between my legs and a branch trimmer with too, all easily accessible. If you sit, there are fewer branches to duck for and trim. I have 74 years on my feet. A little plantar fasciitis goes a long way towards wanting a suspension seat and not stand some more. I dont stand on my golf carts, cars, motorcycles, nor do I stand watching t.v. or car races or movies or auctions. There are a few good reasons for standing but not enough of them.

Ill never own a stand because of my back problems. Its much more comfortable for me to sit down, plus i stand up 10 hours a day at work. Last thing i wanna do is stand up and cut grass for another hour after i get off. You made very valid points to owning a stand on though. We're all here to mow, so keep on mowin'

I much prefer stand on’s. It’s MUCH easier to focus. And it’s MUCH easier to control and it’s important if you are on a mower that propels itself, that you have something that is easy to control so that way you don’t tear someone’s lawn up.

Are Stan’s ons okay for hilly areas?

In my opinion. Stand on’s hurt because I’m 6’6. It feels like I’m working out my abs. Like I’m doing crunches using my lags to balance instead of my whole pelvis

Well to each his own right.

no collection system?

My toro time master walk behind will look just the same and I’ll be in better health walking .

What mower is that you use for the stripes and does it have a stripping kit on it

100% these mowers are professional, the kind you use to mow baseball fields. I wish I had one, shoot it’d make mowing a regulars yard an absolute breeze. I bet I could cut the overall time down by a lot too because of how they maneuver

Stand on’s are only good for smaller and tighter areas. Idk why people would want to stand up on a mower when they have to mow a 5 acre field. And second when you live in the south you get more rainfall which causes grass to grow faster and thicker stand on mowers do not have a lot of horsepower. Them hustlers will go fast in a parking lot but once you start cutting it bogs down. You literally have to raise the deck all the way up to keep it from bogging down. Just my opinion.

Totally agree

Wirght Stander for the win!

I don’t have 5 mowers so the length doesn’t matter, get a 72” deck and hills don’t matter because you can’t tip anyway, I don’t get off to pick up trash I mulch it up, don’t leave junk in your yard if you don’t want a mess lol, learn to turn and won’t tear up turf 😂

The toro my ride system has entered the chat😂

Can you run tweels on the 52 Super S?

That's all I got stand on mowers they just better than a seat down mowers for many many reasons..

Standing desk vs sitting desk

I'm not sure there is less weight on back tires...

You look like the evil sheriff from O Brother Where Art Thou

Why would i mow standing up when i sit down . .

How do you like the surfer pro

Yeah, man whatever floats your boat.

100% accurate

makes sense.

Lol, you won't feel this way when your in your 50s. I'm not standing up to mow anything! That's funny

Sit down is 1000 percent better if u catch holds 5 times the amount

Stand on,sit down, push mower,self propelled,they all suck.I hate cutting grass.

Dude how tall are you? Lol.

Stand on destroys your knees and ride ons destroy your back. Simple as that. Pick your poison.

No thanks

What a bunch of weak points dude

Cost 2-3X more too!😂

If you are older 40 years+ get a zero turn!😊 You getting up their in age!😊
