Thanks!

Get a Bradley bro... just got mine and omg dude I’ve ran Ferris exmarks writes scags all of them.... Bradley is the best and abt 5k cheaper

My man, did you remove all your mulch kits? I saw you using them in some videos but lately i see discharge only. Just curious!

Thank you

Wow, that's interesting! No back pain ever?

No

Congratulations!

YELLOW JACKET LANDSCAPING, LLC. Great mower you picked up, IMO it’s the best stand on out

I wish I have it.. my job to mow would take less than an hour. Tired of getting up from mower often to pick sticks or other stuff.

There's a small learning curve but they're great.

@@LawnCareRookie 👍 just bought 2, now I just have to get 2 of those beast echo blowers that you convinced me to buy, but that’s going to be in October 2021. Can’t wait to mow again. Best Wishes for next season to the LCR Crew!!!

I've had the same issue with my Grandstand, but usually I'm riding on it.

Thanks for the sub! Good tip.

LoL

Check with your local dealer

I was wondering if they worked better than zero turns, my zero turn tears up the grass alot especially if the ground is wet at all. I live in the north and it sucks when it creates a bald spot, cause then you have to seed it and try to get the grass to grow back . Not a big fan of them because of this issue....

@@handytbutler7380 I am not a fan of the big commercial zero turns. Too heavy. I use a 60" Hustler FasTrac to avoid so much lawn damage.

I have an answer, but you decided not to mow anymore ( I understand your health being concerned)

Ferris suspension system is lovely tbh.

I don't bag. But Toro just came out with a powered bagging system that I would get if I started bagging. I had a for my walk behind when I first started and it filled up way too quickly.

That's been my concern about them. Seems even with the extensions available, the capacity of them no way justifies the cost because I'd be forever dumping them. Thanks for your input.

Never had that problem. This brand has the exhaust off to the side if you notice in the beginning of the video. The engine is turned sideways.

This video was an Olympus E-M5II camera. Thanks!

As you said

100% 👌 I will be making a video about this!

Yes. You can put a bag on the side that's made for your mower of some have a powered bagging system, like the Toro Grandstand.

That's a good point! Following... I'm 6' and feel a little hunched over. I can't imagine 6'7"...

@@LawnCareRookie yeah it literally a pain being tall.... lol

There are no homeowner stand on mowers specifically. But Wright mowers came out with an entry level commercial stand on mower called Stander B.

They were all different sizes, small and medium.

It really depends on how productive you can be and the size of the lawns. Plus marketing...😁

I reached 25 clients my first year with no marketing. I just handed out cards and started word of mouth. The beginning of year 2 I dropped down to 20, Now I have already tripled my client list. Still no marketing, and I had to hire on help for all of the mulch jobs, new seeding, and day to day work.

I'm at 30 yards my first year all in the same neighborhood, I cut once a week 10 yards a day $30 each Sat, Sunday, Monday

kray brother what size/type of equipments are you working with, and what’s the average size of the properties??. THANK YOU!!

@@14ODane I'm running a wright stander 36, shindaiwa weed trimmers and stick edger and blower, the properties are roughly 3/4 acre, small front yards nice size back yards it takes me 45min a house cut ,trim ,edge and blow, I live in a big sub division roughly bout 100 houses

Toro makes a great 36 stand on. And Wright recently came out with the stander B to fit the beginner's budget. 👍

You'll probably be surprised how much better your back will feel, legs too for that matter.

@@2014cwajts71 I believe it! Gonna grab a pair of Bradley Mowers. Brand new for 4400-4600 with 3 yrs warranty, can't beat it. Looked at all the big name units used with atleast 500hrs or more for that price or more!

I mow heavy acreage with a Grandstand. As fast as a sit down, actually faster because i dont have to change machines for a few sketchy areas.

Michael Amurgis interesting! How is the fatigue on ur legs?

totally fine. I use the stand on mowers not the stand in there is a slight difference. The stand in mowers, imo, transfer a tiny bit more energy from the jounce of the mower to your body. Some people have 'iron asses" though and can sit all day. My spine and hips thank me for standing. I sit all weekend, riding my motocycle lol

are you in hilly terrain?

Michael Amurgis yeah i have some properties with extreme slopes, the zero turn cant be used even

Equipment dealers. You can go on Toro's website

That's interesting. Why would a walk behind with a Velke be more productive than a stand on mower? I went from a walk behind with Velke to a stand on because it was more productive... I'm looking for an additional mower so I'm very interested to know. Weight??

We should collab on some...💥

Neither. Rough terrain is rough no matter what. You either absorb it in your knees standing or your back sitting. They do make some extremely shock absorbing stand on platforms and seats for an added expense.

@@LawnCareRookie thats what i needed to know, thx

I don't bag but I would charge more. However longer it takes you. And where are you dumping clippings? Time is money!

I DO charge for bagging. While I don't actually have a single $35 dollar yard, I'd probably add at the very least $5 bucks for bagging. How long's it take you to mow a $35 dollar yard?

scott tyger , it takes me about 35 minutes with my commercial 30” push mower. What size are you yards ? What is your lowest and highest price yard ?

scott tyger , I like the smaller yards especially since I’m PT I mow after I get home at 3pm I’m hoping to get a 36 or 48” walk behind mower which one in your opinion would fit out business?

The smallest yard I have is a city lawn, takes about 30 minutes, pays $40 cash. My biggest lawn is a funeral home and it's grounds, and just mowing 4 times a month pays $1240.00, and every other month I have a field that accompanies that property that pays $340 to brush hog it with a small Massey and a 5 ft. mower, which I get a kid to do for me for $8 an hour and takes 7 or 8 hours. MOST of my lawns pay between $60 and $90 and take an hour, to an hour and a half. To answer your NEXT question, I'm going to agree with you on the smaller lawns. If you can get 30 minute lawns for $30 or $40 dollars, and they're in town where you can nail down 3 or 4 of them in close proximity to each other. I personally service a very rural area of western Pennsylvania, and aside from a small college town, most of my lawns are scattered throughout the region. Still, I make what I refer to as loops, getting 3 or 4 lawns a day in a 20 mile loop, the next day a different loop with another 3 or 4 lawns, then a 3rd and a 4th loop, and so on. For this area, the hills and slopes and uneven terrain of western PA, a stander is perfect, and the size of my lawns makes the 52" a perfectly sized version. I personally would probably advise AGAINST a stander if you're doing half hour yards with a 30" commercial push mower in town based solely on an ACCESS standpoint! Can you get a stander IN to your lawns, including the back yards? And then, what's the reason you WANT a stander? My own reasoning is traction, stability on slopes and it's cut down DRASTICALLY on trimming because I can SEE to maneuver it closer to things I used to have to weed-eat. And it makes awesome stripes. Why are YOU considering it?

They have a powered side bagger system yes. Checkout my video about it.

There are many good brands like Toro that offer them. You have a lot of questions to answer for yourself first... What size deck do you need? What brands are available in your area? And do you want new or used? If you want a brand new 52" deck stand on mower... $3,500 will not be enough for any brand.

Yea I'm not looking to go that large on the deck, maybe 48 at most. I'd still like to be able to get through fences. How do feel about gravely standers?

@@JoeGilbert78 They are quality machines!

I have almost 1,000 hours and only changed a deck belt. Yes, walk behinds have less maintenance and cheaper parts... But they also are not as productive. Only in certain situations. It's all in how well you use and take care of your equipment and dealer support.

That's how I felt about sit down units... It's just a learning curve and what you're use to.

6 ft Valid point. Some brands stand between the wheels instead of over, which makes your lower.

That's a good point

Every inch matters when you're trying to fit the most in your trailer, lol 👍

@@LawnCareRookie not on 6.5 x 16 tandem 😆 room to spare

For sure

Thanks for watching

Its fine. Anybody can manage it if they even remotely have a clue what they are doing in the lawn care business

Yup, that's where they got the idea 👍

Every machine has it's purpose for sure. Don't agree with the poor man thing though... They sure aren't cheap! 🤣 And I sure do make a lot of money on them! 🤑 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching

What's the worst mower?? Toro? Stand on mower?

Lol, I see what you did there...

What is?

@LawnCareRookie standing up. Just don't get it. Makes no sense. Just my opinion. You like it. Your business Goodluck.
