+David Birkett David, Glad you are following us and enjoy what we are doing. If you have any video ideas let us know. We do plan to produce a verity of videos throughout this Fall and Winter so stay in touch.

Wright Commercial Mowers - I demoed a hustler Stand on. Here are my thoughts of why I didn't buy it: 1. I don't like how the deck was the kill/safety switch; bouncing on a yard constantly made the machine kill on the up of a bounce and then start on the down. 2. sometimes we get stuck (say in the mud, next to a fence, etc), having the Killswitch on the deck means we can't get off to push and makes it heavier if you have a guy pulling. 3. I didn't feel safe, instantly. I wouldn't want to train a new guy on one, only a highly experienced guy. 4. I didn't like having to hang on. I would prefer a steering type more like the zero turns, or like the Hustler walk behind (like motorcycle handlebars). However, I'm sure this is a true design challenge. * My thought immediately was to have the Killswitch on the handlebars, again like the hustler walk behind. 5. Although the mower was shorter than the zero turns, it was actually bulkier on the trailer and I had to back it up to get it on the trailer. 6. It is so heavy we could not rely on this mower getting into some yards which requires us to jump a curb or sidewalk. When we have those types of yards the walk behind can get over them and they are light enough in the front we can lift the front end. I hope my 2 cents helps with a design. I truly would like to use a stand on as my back is getting worse and now needing injections. The sitting makes my back worse. Thanks for the videos. keep 'em coming!

I want the old days back when I could get off my mower and it kept running. I want the old days back when I was treated as an adult who had a clue rather than a brain dead idiot. Too many "safety" features these days. Heck, gas cans now have safety features! Rant over ... for now.

odeis5: Even if what you say is true can you not state it without the anger and silliness?

Talk about a bumpy ride! -Ed

Experimental Fun 😂😂😂

Wow, Blake, glad to hear! I wish you all the best. -Ed

You got it. It's the best way to get the job done. -Ed

Well that's not good! Where are you?

Yes, slopes near water should never be taken lightly!

Thanks for considering us. We appreciate it. -Ed

Glad to hear! -Ed

Did Wright pay you?

2 0 why would they? I’m a Scag V-Ride II owner.

True, it's the way to knock them out fast. -Ed

Because it's awesome!

now i just wanna see your excavator with hydraulic mower attachment doing an acre upload a vid for me :) hulkhuggett said it best so far safety switches and too many of them are a dangerous hazard to my saftey and the well being of my equipment ; also #SitDownsRule

Mark Frowning unfortunately my excavation company does not do mowing.I do see your point though, however I don't see the purpose of pointing this out. I did not say I was mowing. - In best regards,Eric

Makes more sense than me watching it. I work in an office in a city. My lawn is small enough that I cut it with hand shears.

Wright commercial, Please can you send me a 36 inch mower so i can start my part time lawn cutting business?

Ok, but golf courses are not as bumpy as the average lawn.

Paul Covill Standing for 8 hours isn't even that bad? And yes I work for a lawn care company. Mowing a cemetery for 12 hours.

Standing the entire day is the norm for most physical/labor jobs, so it makes sense as an employer to use! As you say, you're dead after 9 hours while I am able to do 12-16hours on my feet? 🤔 I'm an Ontario based company and we crank her all day

Um i do it as well and is very comfortable, ive done it on a zero turn as well and back hurts and ill fall asleep on it lol

Wright Commercial Mowers I work at a country club with two courses and I can tell you it’s every bit as bumpy as a small yard, if not more so. That’s a really bad argument. Also we use gravel maintenance paths to move around the course, if u were on a stander it’d fling you right off. Standing mowers are the absolute worst there’s no way to justify them

Thanks

That would be true, good point. -Ed

Thanks for watching!

True!

Brandon, We actually do quite well in the cemetery business--easy to navigate tight areas and good visibility on all sides, including the back. Since the engine floats with the deck--belts don't angle and pop off--most can be replaced in 5 min w/no tools. Like many mowers, the hydro belt is a little more involved. -Ed

I've mowed a lot... but I'm sure you have a few more hours under your belt than I do. -Ed

Here are the part numbers. Your Wright dealer parts department can get them. Part numbers for the Trash Collection Accessory: 95490014 - Stander X and large frame fixed deck Stander 95490015 - Stander I and small frame Stander 95490016 - Newest Velke (non-pistol grip) 95490017 - Newest ZK

Because it's low and to the sides it blows around the sides.

would you rather sit or stand on a surf board?

That's the most fun part lol.

600hrs is not unusual--especially if there is sand involved. I've heard of some folks who will take them out and rotate them 90deg to evenly wear them. When we made the Intensity we switched to the bearing setup which can last nearly forever if it's inspected and adjusted one a year. -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers Ok Thank you Ed

Ethan, That's why we do make Z's. In fact we paid the price of even updated to offering the GRAMMER seat on the MMZ which is one of the best seats out there. -Ed

Stop by any of our listed dealers.

Yup, sure am. I believe in it and sell it. -Ed

Sorry to hear of your bad dealer experience. If you would, go to our webpage and send us a message including who your dealer is. It hurts us, as well as all the other brands in the store, when the service is not good and timely. -Ed

I've reached out and I believe I spoke to someone on your team in customer. The support was great and my faith in the Wright brand have been restored. I've tried several brands so far and Wright is still one of my top experiences. I'll be trying a 36" stander next purchase to compare and against the Ferris SRS, fingers crossed..

if you ever have problems getting parts, go to a john deere dealer, their standers are made by the wright company i believe and they carry all the parts for them (but at JD prices tho...).

A-Veteran Lawn Care the only problem I have with my local wright dealer is they’re about an hour and fourth five minutes away. But they make up for being so far away by being extra friendly and super helpful. I’ve had them wait 45 minuets after closing to get me parts I needed. I don’t own one of these mowers (but I would if my paycheck would permit it) I have done some repairs on them. I love everything about these mowers except the earlier models that offered the intek Briggs. Wright quickly caught on that intek Briggs was a junky engine and dropped em. I think the only Briggs they offer now is the vanguard Briggs and it’s not even built by Briggs. I believe it’s built by Daihatsu. If I’m wrong someone can correct me but I believe I saw a Daihatsu label on the few I’ve worked on but can’t remember for sure.

DO BETTER AT SELLS PITCHING.!

Sure beats going while strapped to it...

That's why you have to be smarter than the manufacturer & disconnect the stupid safety switch

@@lesterhochstedler *OSHA wants to know your location*

Yes, you absolutely need to survey the site for any hazards. I'm thinking more of the amount of times you need to get on/off the mower when you need to unload a trailer or open a gate. You may even use the mower for transportation to the back of a property to move something in the way. -Ed

So you'll spend two or three minutes walking around an acre of a yard to check for stuff that shouldn't be there and if there is you'll walk the whole way to the end of the property to pick it up and move it and then walk back why not just get off your standon as you get close to it, sounds to me like you'll use less time with a stand-on than you do pre walking the property

Why?

Yes, sure do. -Ed

I have. The thing is rarely do you cut 6 hours nonstop and the movement is actually better for you. I've found sitting in a seat I feel like my organs are getting jostled without the muscle tone of standing and the ability to soften big bumps with your legs.

captainslogstarshipenterprise Damm dude you guys are lazy as hell dude ive been mowing lawns for over 35 years and trust me sitting on your ass all day on a zero turn rider distroys your bach you will gain wait like crazy and you become so lazy when you get off that zero turn ive seen all these retired landscapers that used riders all there lifes with messed up bach and can't even walk my pops is one of them.

We created the first concept machine. Great Dane started production before us based on the sketches in the patent application. -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers ok cool thanks for responding. I don't even know who great Dane is lol. First time I ever seen a stand on personally was from a grandstand. Just based on visuals as I've never operated a wright mower, your company would be the only company I'd ever consider other then Toro. I can tell by the quality of that deck that you have a sturdy mower, because I am rough on mine that's the most important thing for me

+outknumbered Awesome! I'm sure you are getting a lot done with it.

+Wright Commercial Mowers, My brother was a Major in the Marine Corps. He is a Major something for sure....but when he saw my Wright he said, "You know, I've never gotten anything done sitting on my ass."

+outknumbered That's a great way to put it!

36 " stand up efi with a mulching deck or at least a chute blocker , I asked scag fb page the same question ..got no answer

Mike, That would be a sweet combo. Chute blockers and mulch kits are usually offered as dealer installed options. EFI prices are coming down and probably will be low enough in the next couple years that they make more sense for smaller deck mowers. One thing about 32" and 36" mowers is they tend to be used more on smaller yards or as a trim mower and so don't accumulate as many hours as quickly, and so EFI takes longer to pay off compared to larger 72" and 61" mowers that use 1.5-2 gallons per hour in heavy use. Thanks, Ed

Good idea! There are some activities best done in a seat, like sitting in church. -Ed

ekujj13 LMFAO

Unfortunately I hear they are in a lawsuit with SCAG and have orders to cease-and-desist...bummer -Ed

Sorry, no. -Ed

Thanks for giving it a go. That's why we make riders too...

To each his own... :(

Wright Commercial Mowers just keeping it real and honest .

KCImages man up and stand home boy and stop crying about it shit i wish they had these mowers back in the days when we worked our asses off.

i call it a grab stick, & they definitely do work well for trash while using a rider, but for larger obstacles it's still easier to get on & off of a stander.

Nope. We love to stand. -Ed

And that's why nobody trusts commercials. If I mow acres & acres of lawn everyday, a stander isn't gonna work for me.

they compared two machines that they actually make. seems pretty unbiased. why would a company that also makes sit down ztr mowers do this unless its unbiased. and look at all the companys copying them.

cantbuyrespect I can tell you I wouldn't stand for massive properties on that thing

You don't know till you try. -Ed

Typically you're not standing for 10 hours you mow along you get off you put it on the trailer you get in the truck and Driver the next location and you do this several times for several accounts so you're not standing for 10 hours a day you have plenty of other times were sitting driving to the next location

We ask ourselves that sometimes...

Watch this!!? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLV6f9tlqduXpok.html

My drug of choice is coffee :)

There is a time and place for both machines , just saying. I would love to have a Lazer Z ! I like the Wright a lot too ! Man can't have to many toys , uh I mean tools ! 8 )

You can get an aftermarket grass catcher

Your lawns guys house is bigger than yours. :D

You're missing out on one Heck of a good time.

Good idea!

We do like to make money, but in the long term we know we have to provide value to be sustainable. We know most people will be safer and make more money on a Stander. -Ed

Yeah, a lot of folks don't understand until they try standing for a week or so. -Ed

To each his own! Next time you are in the market, demo one. -Ed

my brother bought a walker mower and i bought a wright stander 36in and i had my brother run my wright for a week and he loved it. he wanted to trade me mower. the wright stander is a great mower too of my friends bought wright mowers because they saw my wright.

Don't be telling guys that have problems with their feet! A stand up mower is useless for a person that can't stand very long as feet start to hurt then legs start to ache...........ya stand ups are great?????

More and more pros are standing!

OHHH so intimidating you told me to keep my mouth shut OHHH I'm so scared, come on man I put my opinion out here you can disagree with me in a better manner than that, when all I said is that our spines aren't meant for that, our knees aren't either that's why my friend had to get two operations on his knees, please look it up before you tell me to shut my mouth. Have a nice day

No thanks... -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers I bet a push mower is faster than any of your mowers

Hay man! Two back-to-back negative comments? Is this a biased comment? -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers No this is coming from someone who used almost every brand out there.

what ever trips your trigger. i can hardly walk after after ridding a zero turn for couple of hours a stander makes more sense to me

that's reality

Yup

Outdoors, They actually do quite well since the weight is low and near the center. We did get some bad rapp back in the day when we started because we had a 36" mower with real thin tires. Now all our 36" mowers have 8.5" wide rear tires!

Wright Commercial Mowers they still don't do well. There is a lawn care company near me that only uses them in dry grass and walkbehinds/ZTs in the wet grass.

It's actually something you experience when you first use them. After a few days your abs become toned and then no problem. -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers ive used it for 2 years

We got sit down mowers for you. -Ed

So do women when they pee

Sounds like you need a woman's air condition office desk job.

Them's fighting words--possibly the most debated (and marketed) topic in this industry. -Ed

You must also like making 25% more money at the end of the day too :)

Hi Kenny, are you talking about the Shortcut 1500? If I recall they came out in 1998-1999, which was a couple years after we had built our first stand on.

1. Don't know till you try. 2. Yeah, true, but check out some of our other videos. 3. Sometimes we wounder too :) there are lots of situations that need unique mowers and some folks really love riders. -Ed
