*sorry* about this situation. Based on your feedback and a few other guys in FL we are working to source a permanent solution for this. Till then the 14mm honda Drainzit hose on Amazon helps. We're arrangeing for something that will drain faster then the Drainzit.
No biggie, we are all good now.
Mr. Wright, I'm glad the CEO and designer of the machine is never satisfied with his work. You have really shown that you listen to the users and are active in their business. You are setting your company to become a dominant force in lawn care. My question is if you looking at electric options like mean green mowers?
I moved up to a 72” cut bout 5 yrs ago and there’s no going back for me! I Luv it!!
You should also factor in that you have slopes that you are climbing every pass, and obstacles such as trees, having to get off of the mower to pick up trash. I own the same mower, with a set of dual wheels due to steeper terrain where I maintain lawns, and rural areas. One subdivision that I mow has 19 lots and I knock it out in 45 minutes with the 72, use a 36” for the perimeters and smaller spaces. I agree with the oil changes, hard to get to. Also, somewhat difficult to clean underneath the deck…love the mower, nice video.
Very cool having Mr. Wright comment! I watched a video where he worked with Saving Green and am impressed. Also learned they make a lot of the parts for the John Deere standers. Wish we had a Wright dealer near North, MS.
I think hiring extra people is not a smart way of doing things. DO Not give up. What I do is I contract out the work to my buddy's lawn care service. I know he does a great job and he is still building his business. He loves the extra work and I love having a free insurance policy LOL. It also allows me to go on vacation with the family mid season.
We do the same, but with window cleaning! Works great
Appreciate this vid as I’m trying to get an understanding of about how much time I can save by mowing with a Wright or other commercial mower. Big help. I have just under 3 acres of grass on my farm so this was perfect. Currently taking about 2.5 hrs with my Deere X340 tractor which has a 54” deck.
falcondrvr200 my Deere 930M does my 3 acres in about an 1:15. I use the tweels, z glides and a 60" deck
little Finkle yeah sounds about right. Those Z930’s look bad ass
Having so much to do is a great problem to have! Wright is really stepping up their social media presence lately. Pretty interesting to see them utilizing this type forum to increase business. I'm totally on board with their tactic. Looking forward to seeing some Wright equipment at the GIE this year. Great video man. Why are people so nasty!?! They had to know someone was going to have to pick up that bottle at some point. Gross.
I can mow my 1.2 acre lawn in about 45 minutes with my John Deere QuikTrak 652R, which is very comparable to the Wright Stander X. I have a mildly sloped lot and multiple beds that I string trim the borders every other cut. The stander does fine. The most it ever slips on hilly areas is if the grass is wet.
a lot of variables in mowing.
The max you could do in a square lot with no stopping would be around
72(inch deck)X12.5(mph)X.8(80% efficiency) / 100 = 7.2 acres per hour.
you handled the piss bottle scenario quite well.
I dropped my sub contracted mowing this year. It was nerve racking to say the least but I'm pretty happy that I did it at this point. If someone else is getting a piece of the pie you are leaving money on the table BUT it can be a great schedule filler.
great video.
for things like the bottle full of pee... keep a little pack of sanitizing wipes on you. i keep a pack in a cargo pocket in case i'm out somewhere and my hands get grimy or i have to touch something that's questionable.
also, i like to wear a camelbak water bladder if i'm going to by outside for extended periods when it's hot. it's nice to have water ready to drink (up to 3 liters, depending on the size of the bladder) instead of having to stop and go back to the truck/house to get a drink. it helps just to stay hydrated to keep from burning up out in the hot-ass sun.
I got to drive one at the GIE this week. I loved it...you were missed at GIE. Talked to Kevin from Fall River and Daniel from Quebec.
I love those wright's so much...I can't wait to own one ...maybe one day I dream of having a Wright stander like a 52 or somewhere around there...yes a 61 would be bad ass or even the 72 like u have. And a stihl kambi system with red max blower or echo, trimmer and edger lol. So ya...probably will never happen but I watch yall and it makes me hungry to be there one day! Thanks for all u do!
Eww the bottle! sorry that happened! It sounds about right to me, our 3 acre property takes us about 2 1/2 hours but that's double mowing and trimming so I agree with your 2 1/2 - 3 acres average per hour.
I feel your pain with the big properties and the soda bottle that’s not soda! We mowed a few weigh scales from 2010-2015 that were 3 acres each, very well lit, very little trimming, lots of riding and mow whenever you’d like. It was fun just didn’t pay the greatest.
When I use to mow acreage with a 72 inch deck would average out to be 3 acres per hour. 20 to 24 acres per day (8 hours).
Quick request...... Can you expand on your office layout? Size, Desk, and general layout. I have a loft area in my shop similar to yours and I'm looking to build an office up there. My space is only about 6'x10' and I'm just looking for some other ideas. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your videos!
i just watched one of your videos from 2017 for the first time. Until I saw your work the ones that I consider LANDSCAPERS were Blades of Grass... The Happy Family( husband & wife) .... Leo.. and now U. U guys are true professionals. Not “ grasscutters” which is all I see in North Ga @40min north of Atlanta. Very well done! Btw the video in 2017 U guys did a one time cut.. bag and edge. beautiful work!.... take care.
Awesome Channel! Bro, please try to protect your skin from the sun better. Just looking out for your health down the road
Keep up the great work man. Keep doing what you do!!
Thanks man.
Got an idea that might work for that oil issue.
Have you tried a basin wrench? It's specifically designed for getting into tight spaces at sharp angles that you can't get to with normal tools. It might be a little easier to do what you need. No less challenging, but easier.
Or you can just install a hose. :-)
It's fixed now.
I hope you haven’t taken on more than you can handle!! Make sure you spend some quality time with your family Brian cause that is what we all work for.
That’s a good lookin shirt back there my man 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼 glad you got that hose situated. I cut a bigger drain hole in the 52 and use the hose on the 42. I will say the hose situation sucks. Even on the old gravelys I had too.
Just when ya think the ZK is the way to go, they do what can be a major deciding factor in MY purchase... Thought that ZK with the 72" is good for @ least 6.5 / hr., The changing of ENG oil difficulty, & kinda burned out on buying $5 per tube grease refills having 42 Zirk fittings & gettin that shit everywhere 😰
Great VLOG tho Sir!
Top Notch is missing send a search party!
Paul Harper I was thinking the same thing. Don't think Brian has ever went this long without making some sort of video.
3:11 daaaaamn, brother. that's when the gasoline handwash comes out. might even light em up afterward 😷😷🤢🤯
Haha
I just saw a picture from Top Notch ax throwing in Saint Louis!
Always enjoy your videos!
Mama never told me there would be days like piss. That's nasty just nasty.
I used to maintain a lot for a trucking company. As a former CDL Class A driver for 8 years, I know what those bottles contain. Hope you never run over a little plastic bag, it'll be even worse. Nasty truck drivers!!! Always keep in mind a LARGE debris cleaning charge when pricing. Learned that one the hard way even though I knew what to expect. Looks like you are living the dream. Here is mine, from 8:30am till 10:00am I mowed less than 10K sq feet. This, ua-cam.com/video/Z6szXyEVZ7s/v-deo.html , is the second property and the first was smaller. Two more each day of the week until Fridays four. Gonna be a long hard winter :( Thanks for sharing that awesome video. I'll use my former CB handle, HITMAN out.
Hey man, just buy you a electric oil pump and then add quarter inch copper tubing 12 inches in length to the suction side. Replace the copper tube in through the filler cap and give it couple of minutes and all the oil is out. You will never have to drain again. Just make sure on the discharge side your container doesn’t over fill LOL it happens. The eclectic oil pump on Amazon is 19.99 and copper tubing no more than IDK $20.00 and the pump hold up extremely well.
Sorry I think it’s 1/8 copper tubing it just needs to slide through the filler neck into the oil pan. Also be careful the tube can get suctioned to the bottom of the oil pan just pull it up a little.
lot of work of lawns in south dakota
You would find a Kubota diesil would work better for you, I did city mowing for ten years and when the bidding was done I lost the contract by $20 per year so don't count on it long term, also I think you are looking more stressed since you have taken it on , with respect
The Hustler Super 104 would do great on that...
You deserve more subscribers
You should try a vacuum pump for the oil changes,
it is two years later, you may not even own this mower today. I ask a personal question. you just came back from the wright family reunion- I assume this is wright mowers, yes? you make a video with scag apparel on?
on a completely different note. why worry about the drain plug? purchase a 6 quart oil vac canister to draw the oil out the dipstick tube. works on most small engines and no mess. as a side benefit you don't have to worry about tightening the drain plug or rounding it off. under $80 at harbor freight. lasts for years.
those maps dont take into account hills and make the acreage less usually
Be nice to get some sub work around here. Companies around Ga are way too stingy with the money. If they do give u something, it’s over an hour drive or it’s priced really low and they purposely give u the crap..!
Hi After watching your videos you have really inspired me to take my lawn care business more serious. I am 14 Im in my first season. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to get customers. Currently I only have about 4 loyal customers. Many people have contacted me and asked how much I charge per month. What I Currently Do is I charge per cut. Evrey Time we service their yard they will need to pay. Many people want service evrey week for a low price per month. For example 4 times a month for only $40. Thats a little bit of money and profit for me. The business is runed by me and my brother. We split the money in half for the total earnings made that day. Any tips and suggestions will help. Thank You!!!
We’re going to Colorado this weekend
Ballsy taken this city work, because you need to have the equipment as well. Not just the man power.. do you get inspected as well?
Missing your videos Brian, hoping all is well.
Nice video keep up the good work
Great vlog. Thanks for the info.
I'm sure you picked the music on purpose, lol. Right after your pee bottle scene, cue the music, "that's what you get for doing what ya do....." Hilarious!!! Awesome mower. I'm like all the other commenters, what a shame all the time wasted off and on the mower because of trash. Thanks for the videos.
do you have to slow down since blades are longer compared to 61?
That’s exactly how we took a overtightened lug off our truck... minus the impact 😂😂
Have to say those highway areas look like a real pain to mow, has the money been worth the extra work?
the pee thats called a sunshine bomb..trucker do that so they dont have to stop..
How do you mow these areas the state everywhere I've seen mows these it's their property how did you even come across getting the contract
We drive past there last Sunda
U should buy some trash pickers & cheap buckets boss, that way u don't have to keep getting off the mower....just pick up the trash with the picker then drop it in the bucket as u mow....
Would you install the oil hose on any of your Walker machines - or strictly for the Wright?
boy that wright is humming
Hey Brian what for oil do you use? Thank you good video as always
I average per mower running 1.5 to 2.5 acres per hour
We call those bottles where I work trucker bombs. Talk about ruining a day when you hit one.
Lmfao u got trucker bombed🤣
Cant u work it out on hour meter? eg 1 hour on machine equals 10km?
we use Kilometers in NZ not sure what you use? thats what i base it on
Hey bro can u make some more videos please
amen
Wow incredible....you gotta figure picking up trash u could minus maybe 5 to 10 minutes so with that said in less than an hour that mower went through almost 3 acres....wow
How many?
i dont think they put hoses on for their oil changes
I can’t believe you didn’t know how big the area was!! How in the heck are you bidding this stuff?
Frank Emerson at 10:50 he explains all of it and how it all works.....
I knew the entire area but not individual sections.
Love the video keep it up
How did you go by charging something like that
You need a grabber so you don't have to get off the mower so much. Great for picking up trash.
Good info
3 acres in our is impressive
People in Elmira NY mow their grass every 3 days. They believe if they wait 7 to 9 days between mowings their grass will be butt high. Your grass won't be butt high in 7 to 9 days that is total exaggeration sincerely Robert Gildea
What Walker dealer do you use? I live in central Kansas and i'm disappointed with my dealer. The Walker dealer here owns a mowing business, as do I. As you can imagine, there is a little conflict of interest.
I use Jims tire and auto and Maximum outdoor and Andover lawn Equipment.
Thank you, I will give them a call and order a new T23 for sure, and maybe a new B19. I'm also not opposed to buying used low hour equipment. I will let them know that you referred me. Maybe you'll get some new blades out of it. I really appreciate the info. Top Notch help right there!
So are you mowing roadsides for some kind of community service?
Haha, no I actually get paid to do it.
lot of work
Where are you ?
Where's the video?
What would you guys charge to cut that? 17 Acres and it takes you 6 hours?
Forget picking up garbage, just chop it up
My Dixie chopper classic 50inch 3 acres in 52 minutes..
Put up a video so we can see
How much do you charge per acre ?
It depends on how many acres. A half acre lawn would be about $40. I also cut a 20 acre property for a little over 500.
that seems a little low to me. I'd charge at least $50+ for a 20k+sqft gross lot.
What program is that you using
Google maps
Picking up all that trash starts to add up. 10secs per trash item. 6 items is a minute. How many pieces of trash are you picking up a day?
Well if no trashes would be 3 acres per hr maybe a bit more
Cheap picker ups helps and get an decent one for that nasty stuff
3 acres?
so really you mowed more acres becasue its on a slope and the map doesnt take into account that...its prob more
I'll take it. 😉
I would've guessed that lot was more like 8-10 acres! You lost alot of time picking up trash! That mower should mow 3 acres in 30 minutes max!
Keep some hand sanitizer in your truck
First good vid
Vannin Garden Services your in such a hurry to show how lame your life is, you made it sound like an insult.
👌
I was close haha
Aye
Brian, my guy I always wanted to ask u this......how the hell do u mow and weed eat without a mask, long sleeve shirt, long pants, & a fisherman's hat????....I would die out there with just shorts, short sleeve shirt, & a baseball cap 😂😂😂😂 nah but for real man u should cover up better bro....if not for protection from the grass and dirt, u gotta atleast do it for protection from the sun, it can give u cancer bossman.... Just tryna look out for ya my man....wear gloves too, protect yourself from the sun fully.
I need to do better for sure.
Well good luck with customer service from wright. From my experience they did not really care . I will not be buying from them ever again. One lie after another poor service if you even get any service from them !
It's weird seeing a white guy mowing grass. In California these tasks have been relegated to Mexicans. That bottle, you get what you give. lol
