SCAG V Ride 2 36" & WRIGHT Stander I 36" ► Extreme Tests Mowing Overgrown Grass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Most of you guys have seen already the Ferris and Bobcat reviews, as well as a cool walk through of the Wright mowers in this video series Stan and I are doing. Today we are covering the Wright Intensity 36" mower and the SCAG V Ride 2 36" lawn mowers.
If you guys are just tuning in, Stanley Dirt Monkey and myself flew down to Baltimore area to hang with Ed Wright of Wright manufacturing to bring you an epic mower series comparing the pro's and con's of all the different stand on lawn mowers out today. Ed actually invested in buying them all for their company to learn from the competition, and help them create a better value and quality machine.
Most of you guys have to tackle properties with gated back yards and smaller areas to maneuver into, and that's where mowers like these really shine. Additionally, these are great starter mowers because you can always still do larger areas and yards, before you have the funds to invest in a second unit, which may be a 52" or 60" for your business.
Starting with a smaller mower like this may be a great option, as you can always go big later, but it's tough to start big and miss out on all those smaller yards when you're just getting started.
We didn't have access to the smaller Gravely or Exmark for this "class", but those brands also make great smaller back yard/gated mowers. There are a few new ones also coming to market this year, so hopefully we can get our hands on those and compare them in 2019.
What do you guys think about the Wright Stander Intensity, and the SCAG V Ride 2 36"? Do you guys currently run them? What other mowers are your guys' go to for gated back yards and tighter working spaces? Comment down below!

So what do you guys think about the compact mowers and the ability to expand your fleet as you go with larger deck sizes and units. I have to say, these 2 mowers were insanely beefy. Doubt you could go wrong with either one.
Great video Brian! SCAG advantage deck never clogs! And debris doesn’t get caught up in belts at all!
Hold on wait, that SCAG was a recoil start?!
I wish I would have got a 36 rather then my 30. Now that I have my 30 I went with a 48 for my main mower. Still wish I could have a 36 though
I have the cub 33 walk behind and I love them but I'd love a 36 stand on
I run a gravely 34 inch compact pro in new orleans and it does great for small gates and it fits nicely on a small trailer
Brain, I live in NE Florida and there is alot of slop ponds. I havent seen any videos of Which zero turn or Stand up works best for Slop on mowing ponds?? Please help. Thank you
Dealer isn't that important to me. I do all my own repairs because I can't have a mower sitting at a shop for weeks at a tine
Two weeks would be fast around here in Yulee fl. lol
Ed Wright, I need to get him down here for some fishing and beers - dude needs to relax. Ha!! 😂 Nice Toyota too.
Why does everyone seem to want to bush hog with finish mowers?
I like testing that pushes a machine to it's limit and beyond. And there are times when a overgrown cleanup comes along that's worth doing.
7700Purplexity heavy duty commercial mowers
Because customers will bitch if you leave their 2ft tall yard looking like it was bush hogged with half the grass uncut.
Because it gets views on youtube
prime example of whats wrong with the lawn care industry today...you go out and buy a 36" to fit in the gates for 6-7k$ and then have a 48 or 52" for your larger mows at 8-9k$ then the trailer 3K$ and you run around mowing 30$ lawns !! The lawn price per cut today is the same as it was 25 years ago but the prices of equipment is sky rocketing !!
I've talked about that before, I couldn't agree more. That's why I've dropped my gated lawns, I couldn't justify having a $1,500 Exmark Metro sit around 95% of the week on the trailer, rusting out. Every market is different, I get it but for me, I pruned those clients to keep my bigger units moving. But again, not everyone has wide open properties and subdivisions/acreage.
It gets worse. I lived in FL and paid my yard guy $50/month to cut edge and trim done weekly. And that was the standard rate. I always told him to charge more but he said he couldn't because he'd lose business.
@@royjones59344 I started my lawn biz in 1994 and at one time we had 105 lawns.. about 80% residential and we would always have a big turnover rate with customers leaving to save 5$ per week. Too bad the lawn care industry cannot rival others like HVAC where they have a great baseline $ labor rate
Kevin, here is some positive news, there are customers like myself who are not price sensitive and are more concerned about reliability and quality. The lawn care industry provides a great service and should be paid accordingly. After all you guys keep most people's largest asset looking good.
@@kevincloonan9787 I here you I al started In 95 and i have customers drop me for the other guy who just started up or some guys get 20 on one but the other 25 I live in Denver Colorado I got on new shovel customer 30she ask if could go down to 20 I told her no so guy charge mor then I do
Granted I think you'd be starting out with some $400 Honda mowers and working up to a 36" stand on, but otherwise it sounds right on! I would love to see the 36" stand on vs a sit down mower in the same price bracket to see how they compare
I have to say the scag was the winner. You were traveling faster with a little better cut from what I saw on vid. Nice.
100%
Who cares how high of grass it will cut? I don't think that's a good test.
These are extreme tests. It’s cool to see the machines limits. We’ve been doing regular mowing tests on my other video series.
The tall grass amplifies what is happening and makes it easier to differentiate between the two mowers.
Agreed. Let’s see some 5”-10” grass for weekly and bi weeklys. My $500 push mower with chute open will cut 6ft grass lmao
one thing yall left out about the vride 2 is that the recoil start is paired with a 15hp motor. the electric start is paired with the 19hp motor so the comparison is bit more leaning to wright. just thought id drop my .02
Agreed, but I can only review what I'm covering lol
Correct on this and it was also mentioned in the video as to why both options are offered, giving consumers two different price points.
Well....this is a Wright commercial
I’d rather buy the more expensive equipment. I just bought Vride 2 32in they now have key start and is awesome sure $8200. But worth it. I have an entire subdivision that has chain link fence so I have a 52 in for fronts and the little guy for the back and this was a life saver
That wright was throwing grass like a snow blower freaking awesome. Great videos buddy.
When it comes to cutting performance from what I saw there, you went over the grass three times and plenty of the taller grass stems never came down. My neighbor just bought a 6’ bush hog for his 4045 JD tractor. I was truly impressed at the near perfect cut. We have had a spell of rain here in Florida and its is growing fast. I mow 3 out of 5 acres. I have two 46” yard machines. JD and CC. They just do not hold up. Today, on the John Deere site, I noticed a happy guy mentioning his great impression with Bradley. They have a nice offering. Dealers are all two hours away. John Deere is usually 30 minutes with good inventory of parts. Thanks for your reviews! Am I expecting too much when it comes to really cutting long grass on the first pass?
Stan, if you call it a "Hoosqvarna mower" then wouldnt you would call it a hoostler mower?? But you said hustler correctly so Carry that U percounsiation over to Husqvarna lmao
I retired from lawn business about 4 years ago and kept my 61 cheetah for my acre plus yard and it is going almost 10 yrs as of Jan 2020. been using scag since 1998. love vids.
Umm you need to go same speed to make this shit valid can’t creep with the Wright and fly with the scag
I see the scag mower demoed had the lower horsepower engine ~15 HP versus the 19 HP with the electric start. The recommendation I got from the dealer was to go with the larger engine as while the smaller engine with the recoil starter is cheaper to purchase, you will be dissatisfied with the mower performance. A 25% reduction in power is a big deal. And as an older consumer with a wife who wants to use the mower to do the lawn and garden, a recoil starter on such a high machine for me would be a very stupid choice. She told me don’t be a stupid @$$@/// , you are buying a commercial grade machine, not a no name knockoff, an electric starter with adequate power is a baseline requirement, not a luxury.
What mower you buy??
I think they’re overpriced to be honest eight $9000 for a small motor and two Drive units
I have owned both scaggs PULL START 36 Wright 32 but my 36 won't go through most old home gates which are 34 so I must have hzvd a 30 inch I wish you guys would stop call them push mowers they are self propelled must of my customer hate the standard mowers for a standard lawn 15 min mow trim and blow and as for my 21 Honda 12 years still us going strong so before you guys bad mouth the small mowers try using them first I have been mow 25 years got big 3 trucks 3 crews now just me I feel better no more problems got small plain to stay there
Enjoyed the overview! We have a 36" Exmark stander. We got it to get back in those smaller properties.....This year we are trying to reduce our gated properties and convert them to larger acreages that won't require the smaller mower. Goals. Keep the coming Brian.....and send me a card for our Fridge of Fame!
very disappointed in the bias view i saw on Dirtmonkeys channel last night, not from you or him, but from Ed..You can clearly see that Ed nit picked the ferris much more than anything else, probably because he knows the Ferris is just as good as his machine, at a lower pricepoint, sometimes a MUCH lower price point, i found a Z2 52" with oil guard for $7200 OTD, also i feel like Wright seriously just gave up when it comes to the knee pad, i mean really, its the most uncomfortable one out there.
Hey that's good feedback. Ed's learning too, this is the type of feedback I'm sure hes looking for. Truthfully, they're both beasts. I wouldn't mind using either unit full time, that's a fact. Rock on
& just think.. as"bad" as wright fault s maybe (way less grease use ALONE for me is worth the knee pad dealeo some may site) & miles ahead of grandstand which youd think Toro would be best in class kinda like milwaukee electric vs Cobalt a wright to Toro 😑
ferris is cheaper because briggs owns ferris, the wright pad doesn't bother anyone i know or me, not once has it leaked either, and thats not what i hear from guys running scag or ferris
Ferris are great. But wright is the best. Once my gravelys start going my fleet will go to wright
Attila Von Stryker Which brand are you referring to?
Makes me want to ride a stand on again. I miss mowing grass.
You guys don't know what you're talking about. calling Bob cat light duty my 2005 bobcat 52" zero turn with a 19-hP Kawasaki has been going 17 years Mowing 65 lawns a week it sat out in the rain and snow first 5 years of its life. it's been hands down a bad ass mower we're not talking about mowing sh💩ty yards these are million dollar homes and it does a professional job you can't beat that I mean come on it's a 19 horsepower engine
Scag was slinging some grass too wow at the discharge
Funny the guy from wright comes to all these demos. But I have yet to see any of the guys buy his stuff. Brian uses e mark, Stan over at dirt monkey uses Toro and other brands.
Just wonder why even have these demos, if none of these guys who mow 20 yards a day feel confident in buying the equipment?
I bought my 36" Scag VRideII during the middle of the season last year. It has been a gamechanger for me. I bought it used with 1.8 hrs on it! It was the pull start, but it was such a deal I couldn't pass it up. You get used to it after a while. I have several small yards where it's all I use. But there's also 1 or 2 I have that have severe uneven terrain, and it's Bermuda. This narrower cut made the yard look so much better despite the fact i could first my larger Turf Tigers on it. It delivers a very good cut and doesn't clog. Absolutely love it! Also, the cc's are rated the same on the 15hp pull start and the 19hp electric start. The main difference between the 2 engines is the electric start obviously and the air filtration system. Aside from that, they're virtually identical
Sorry If I've commented multiple times the same thing, Comments would not show no matter what I did
We appreciate your business Darren!
Brian, What’s your choice for best 36” in 2022. Anything change
Perfect mowers for smaller yards for backyards, in & out quickly & definitely worth the money! Time is money so the more yards you can bang out the better! I'm a SCAG fan personally but I've heard good things from wright mowers. Awesome video like always Brain! 👍💯😎
Love the series, both machines are well built!!!
Wasn't that an old wright that broke into on you before you got the Vride ? T . hat's been a day or two .
WH yes it was a Wright! They have improved on it for sure!
My old scag 36” walk-behind leaves a beautiful cut and is easy to work on.
Look at the pull start as an indicator that something needs a fixin if it doesn’t start with one pull.
Every mower on here except Wright - chute down and mowing the tall grass as fast as the mower will go. Wright mower - chute up and going pretty slow. 🤣 We know it's a Wright commercial, but come on try to do a little better.
Lol
Ed Wright is the man! I will be purchasing a Wright really soon.
It’s tough to buy a 36” mower for practically the same price as a bigger mower. But you need what you need and it is what it is.
Five-O Lawn and Snow haha. Your name is pretty cool too! ❄️ ⛄️
Check out my channel if you’re interested in subscribing.
Yeah, that’s we use the Exmark 30” for small back yards with gates, we only have a couple yards that need it though, better to spend $1800 than $7000 when it only gets used a few times a week. Everything else can be done on our 52s, and 61s.
iDrive4fun93 that timemasters a piece of junk! A toro pushmower from home depot can out last it lol
German the Exmark 30 is a little nicer and tougher than the Toro Timemaster. Ours works great. We used to just buy a new Cub Cadet push mower every year. But we bought the Exmark, it’s been a great mower, far more useful especially around leaf season, and much faster.
Here we are in 2023 and that VRIDE 2 is $10,500 after taxes if it’s financed for 4 years. It’s $9,800 after tax out the door if you pay cash. Prices have gone up. Way up.
I will be adding the v ride 36 to my fleet. My scag 61inch cheetah, I can't complain I mean any type of grass or weed I touch down in it gives a good quality cut. So scag it is for me!
Please drop us a line if you have any questions we can help with on the 36". We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business!
Brian, did you go to school for business and marketing? You were onto something last year when you thought to do these videos and release them in the dead of winter when all us lawn guys are tired of hearing you youtubers talk in your recent videos and just want to see some action. Kudos
Wait, folks don't like hearing me talk to myself? This is news to me! The wife will appreciate your comment lol. Yes it was a little planned out. Series like these are actually a lot of thought and require some planning ahead. This was such an insane time of my season too. Tons of rain, 10 trips in 12 weeks during this period of summer/fall. It was insane. I'm still recuperating! Filming is one thing.. What very few people ever really understand or appreciate is EDITING. The first video in this series took me 10 hours. This one took 4 hours. It's just crazy. Winter just lucked out, thankfully more time to edit now than trying to pump this out in the fall lol. Thanks for watching! ps, no formal schooling.
Brian's Lawn Maintenance I appreciate the response. Idk how you do it between working and YouTubing. Gotta be like having 2 jobs.
Scag makes a electric start also. The pull start is a 16 horse and the electric start is 22 hp on the 36 so those were not really 2 comparable machines.
Makes sense
Brian's Lawn Maintenance both are nice machines though. I think Scag, Wright,and exmark are the best. So it’s all about the dealership like you guys said.
I love my 36" sacg vride bought in 2017 before the vride 2 came out, but i use my 21" honda hrr mower for tighter yards or mulching
2000hrs my old 96 toro tbar had over 20,000 hrs when i pulled the motor over a bad pump.
I feel 36 in mowers just cut better. I think my 36 prostance cuts better than my 48 prostance and my gravely 460
My tiny Honda lawn mower can do that
Brian we just want to see how it works day to day for you. These extreme tests are stupid. How many times do you cut a yard this over grown? Maybe once a year if I'm feeling generous and then you just weed eat it cause you have no idea what's under there
I’d love to do a regular test. But we have 4” of snow on the ground. Hence why I’ve been chipping through regular demos during the summer. Have you not seen those videos yet?
@@BriansLawnMaintenance I've seen most of them and I find those videos a lot more helpful. But would like to see the 36 inch cut quality cause I'm an exmark guy like you. Lucky you got snow got a half inch so far this month in eastern Washington we are normally buried right now
Man I wish I took some video this past year, I cut down some SERIOUS stuff with my V-Ride 2
Hooskavarna ?
5:48 lol dude I’ve pull started a Scag 48” walk behind and NAILED my elbow on the wall and was pretty much useless for weed eating the property 😂
Scag made a 32 in and it’s amazing for my Propertries that have a huge backyards! 36 sometimes is a little too big and the 32 is just right! The shoot flap is a little annoying but nothing else I can complain about.
I had to customize a chair on my v Ride because my knees were killing me after one season as soon as I put the chair on the mower within one week my knees were feeling great again. I just didn't feel like spending another seven Grand on a sit-down mower so I have welder friend customize a badass seat right on the standing platform.
A chair 🤔
I was not aware that a 36" gate opening was actually 34". At 36 1/2" deck width, they still wouldn't be of use in that aspect. Still a nice compact size for maneuvering though.
I have a gravely 34z commercial for those gates. It’s a great machine. Exmark makes one too
I would like to see a wright 36 inch stander B
All our workers would really slow down at the end of a hot day using push mowers like timeMasters. They also get feet issues walking all day long. We switched to this exact mower. Stander intensity and we doubled our productivity. I also run it with a ramp rack for small properties. The workers don’t get worn out or twisted ankles. Well worth the money
That’s the comment I’m looking for, I’m using a timemaster 30” push mower and in the summer heat in Houston I’m about ready to call it quits by noon and I’m only 4 lawns in lol
I literally just started and I would love to have a stand on 😔it would be great to have one
No hill test
Why didn’t he bring the Scag V-Ride II with the Electric Start FX Kawasaki, because he thought the Wright was a better mower but it’s not!!!
News flash I liked the SCAG just as much as the Wright 😂🙈
Jimmy Grasse , I was thinking the same. I own a 36 Vride with the FX600v . Wright has one with a pull start too. Need to compare Apple to Apples I love my Scag but if the Wright dealer was closer I'd probably be using one of those. I don't think there is that much difference between any of the commercial mowers. One difference I like about my Scag is the motor is NOT mounted to the mower deck . I don't have to lift that motor up and down everytime I set the deck.
People pulling the trigger and debating on the size of their first mower to purchase, you have to think about what type of customers do you want to target or what type of yards the majority of your targeted area have for you to make a good fit to that market. Me, I am a solo, side business, so I can pick & choose my clients a little bit more. That is why I went with a 50" for my first yard, if they don't have a big enough gate, so sorry, as I move on to customers that do. If you are going on in fulltime, then like Stan said, you may want to start with a 36" to gain all the potential customers and then bump up to a bigger unit on your next additional mower purchase. This way you aren't turning away too many customers. Your bigger mowers are going to handle a yard quicker thus making you more $s per hour in general (the 48"-52" range will be more profitable than a 36"), if you can establish enough clientele of this sort on your start-up year?---I hope this added some prospective for someone getting ready to pull the trigger.***Other add-ons that are worth the purchase to get or plan to get on that first mower: 1) bagging system for those Fall leaf cleanups 2) chute-blocker for those thinner strips of property between the neighbors yard and your client's flowerbed along side their house/garage 3)headlights for the Fall season when it starts getting dark early 4) PTO assist for your bagger tube to avoid the tube getting clogged. You may not be able to get all of these add-ons right away, but if you purchase a mower that has these options available, you can get these items over time as the money rolls in.
I'm thinking for next year getting the scag 36 upright..
Tall grass like that is what bushhogs are for
Or Dixie Choppers
Nice video and cool comparison! One thing that I would say that I didn't like was the fact that the Scags pullstart was looked at as a negative... Why didn't you all have a electric start V-RIDE for this comparison? 🤔🕵🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ 🤣😂😁😉
I know right lol. Biased. If there was a Scag Rep there they would have brought the 36" 19 horse electric start. This is biased. If worked with Wright 36s and the scag vride 2 36. And the scag is a better machine.
It's not available for this mower. It's available on the bigger units of course.
I lv my 36” Wright beast 😎🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ed loves his company.
Love the Wright line of machines
I am fortunate to run the stander I 36 for my company I work for and I like using it more than the stander x 52! More responsive and they seem to have more power to size ratio...
Scag cut better by far
Great stuff... Ed is the man!
I am looking at the 36 or even the 42 intensity. Wight mowers are expensive but they are the best. Quality is worth alot and they will make you money. Will you be reviewing the 42 I?
Just the 36” sorry, that’s all we had that day.
When I landscaped, we used Wright Standers. We had 2 60" for high weed mowing, a few 54" that were our main mowers on the trucks, then I eventually got a 36" since I had a lot of gated back lawns. The thing was solid, mowed well, was a little faster then the 54" due to being lighter so it almost made up for the size difference. The only place I really feel it lacked was holding a hill. It would lose traction way easier then the larger decked heavier standers.
We are in louisville and the most popular is the exmark 30. Looks like a push mower but very versatile self propelled mulching machine with bagging or full discharge option. On the heavier side the 32 inch metro exmark has been our go to. The 36 inch will not fit in all gates the 32 will so the decision was simple. The accounts are not popular for this need in terms of residential, however commercial islands and the smaller spots needed on your bigger grounds (if that makes sence).
The mower on the scag was smaller and mowing better lol.. if they were both the 19hp scag would of made the Wright look really bad
Scag makes an electric start. Lol. Seriously
Not on this 36". It's pull start.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance my scag was a pull start I got a great deal on it but it does come with a starter at least in Colorado
Iv had the same 36 wright since 2014 it’s still my most dependable machine,iv owned scag and all the little things break good mower but wright just seem to stay together better
Used the Wright stander for 9 yrs, and 1700 hours. Best stander, period.
My personal experience, I think the wright handles the best as far as stand on mowers go and are built very strong, however I have to choose the scag v ride 2 over the wrights any day. From where I am in the northeast, we cut thick wet grass a lot and I found with the wrights my deck would require a lot of scraping and grass would be clumped up badly after a single cut in morning dew. Also, I noticed that it would drop little clumps of grass all over the lawn when it was wet and I’d have to double or triple cut always. When I got the v ride and v ride 2s, I have had no issues cutting in any wet grass, and although all mowers will leave grass piles of grass in wet thick conditions, the scag did a much better job with dispersing the clippings evenly so if you did need to double cut, it wouldn’t be a problem because there were no clumps of wet grass. This is just my opinion through my experience, I think wright may be the better overall mower, but the decks on wrights are by far the weak point when comparing them to others like the velocity plus etc.
The old school decks were better to avoid this then the aero cores I think thats what my wrights are some clumping but not to bad
I had a john D mower that lasted 15 years full power and how? religious oil changes and religious fluid changes plain and simple.
I have a 36 Scag coming it will cut my time in half now I use a 30 toro great mower but time is money.
I've got a 1999 grasshopper, not one problem with it, I can promise not a one of those would make it through what a grasshopper would, no comparison at that price point buy a grasshopper, hands down
550% off topic but anyone know if Ed is single...? Cause woof...
the walk behinds mower we use spring and fall cleanups are pull start. you got to always make sure you park them in trailer the correct way, so you can start them again lol
Lol I see that now
If you want a small stander the one you want is a 34 because it will fit through the 36 in gate opening.
Cub Cadet Pro X636 love it my inventory favorite I would add a photo for some reason. I can’t attach one.
Brian, it's always a pleasure and always fun to watch your videos and stans videos! 👍always looking forward to my notifications thanks to you guys.
I have a 2012 scag vride pull start and the maintenance is less and cheaper. No battery, and starter to replace every so many hours.
We have a lot of 32" and 34" gates where we cut and the Wright 32" stander is a beast.
I'm just starting out right now and I have better quality trimmers/blowers than my actual mower (my mower is a $3,000 hustler raptor which is more of a homeowner type deal, looking to upgrade soon though.) But with all of these pieces of equipment there's the fact that no matter what happens, one day you're gonna turn that key or pull that cord and the dam thing is not going to start. It's up to you when that day is going to be, and part of that is on what brand you buy (some are just better than others end of story) but I'd argue that most of that falls on YOU, how well you take care of your equipment. Most people don't realize that to keep a piece of equipment running correctly costs extra man hours (even simply blowing the grass out of the deck and sprockets can double the life of your mower deck) and not to mention money. To run a commercial mower for one season is going to cost around $500 minimum (I'm shooting fairly low tbh) on parts you need to be replacing every year or every few weeks in some cases (air filter, fuel filter, blades etc.) and that doesn't include fuel or the finance cost. Tl;Dr: you can buy a $40,000 lawn mower but it'll be junk in less than 2 or 3 years if you don't take care of it.
Great points
I agree with Brian and DM that these size mowers are excellent to start out with, but newbies also need to understand that they have a bigger learning curve to these smaller mowers in regards to 2 very important things; 1:The safety aspect that they are not nearly as stable as a wider mower and; 2: They weigh almost just as much as their larger counterparts, and with smaller tires, they get hung up easier.
Thats why i brought the toro 40inch for the wider tires same wait
Good insight. Im here because im starting off and what you mentioned was something learned from your experience now passed down. Thx
down here in aus in my neck of the woods 36 inch wont fit through a standard gate, 34 inch barely scrapes through just, and unfortunately most brands dont make small zeros or standers to suit , i think toro have a 32 zero and gravley with a 34inch .
i know wright mowers are breaking into our market but really need to see 32 inch stander with an adjustable hight deck not fixed as our lawns/ the ground varies and most of my yards the height hast to be re adjusted mulitiple times on a lawn to keep it looking even .
good vid though guys. and lol i run 2 hrx mowers 21 inchers all i can say there tax right offs replace every year deductions deductions.
DAN THE FAMILY LAWN MOWING MAN a few companies make 28 inch ones
Great video! Interesting to hear more about the 36" units. Makes me wish for the warmth again haha
awesome video bro!!!
Sounded like Wright was recommended🤷♂️
I have a 36 Wright I nvr will get rid of it I’ve had it for 6 years helped start my business
I did exactly what Stan said start small and grow bigger accounts with bigger mowers
Very smart!
Brian's Lawn Maintenance thanks bro
First gen vride wasn't pull start. Weird setup for a commercial mower but that's just my opinion
I don’t know what the hype is for a stander. I’ve tried them and every single time I smash the family jewels. No thank you. I’ll keep my mid mounts.
36" isn't too bad at all. It can still cut a 1/4 - 1/2 acre residential property very fast. Plus it can fit in most of those tight spaces. Im going with a 36" stander vs. A bigger size deck. For me it is a toss up beyween wright and the gravely pro stance. I like the scag brand though. Ive worked on and assembled them plenty.
Let me know what one you decide
I've looked at both as well I think the wright is a lot shorter in length and that does help in tight areas
@@stevebyrnes1613 i went with the gravely. 🙂
Edit: also got a 52" exmark stander for the bigger commercial properties my wife and i maintain.
What do you think about both
@@stevebyrnes1613 i like the exmark and gravely best. I've used wright in the past. They make a good machine but it is just my preferance. The exmark and gravelys are easier to work on and there are more dealers in my area for those than the wrights. So parts are easier to get as well as service.
@@saltylandscaper7193 thank you
I have 36 v ride 2. It’s a money maker
Which model are you running the 15 or 19hp? We appreciate your business.
Wish yall would've reviewed the gravely pro stance 36" so we can see the big 3 fight off.
Yeah me too, we just didn’t have one there that was all
Gravely is trash
@@budgreen7894 1 opinion out of multiple thousands mean nothing. You probably own a cub cadet lawn tractor with a shitty Briggs engine. So glad we have people like you to give others a heck of a laugh LOL.
Just don’t take on accounts with gates. There’s plenty of yards without gates. Taking up space on the trailer with a mower your only going to use on a couple of yards isn’t worth it.
Wright standard intensity 36 is the best mower I have ever owned. Wright makes the best mowers period. End of story
This video shows up now that I bought a 36 vride 😂
Got tired of push mowing yards and stuff being overgrown and it taking forever. Just eliminated A headache.
Is your 36 pull start or did they finally convert over to electric start?
@@SeboltLawnLandscape it’s electric start
@@seabass22 nice… I’ve just started researching them and trying to decide on a 36. When I saw that scag was a pull start I was like HECK NO 😂 can’t imagine trying to pull start in my enclosed trailer on a daily basis.
@@SeboltLawnLandscape This video is the only place I have seen a pull start. I guess it saves some money and no worry about a battery. I love mine. Should have got one years ago.
It also eats through everything. It was surprising some of the stuff it has chewed through.
@@seabass22 yea I had never seen it before either. I really appreciate the feedback I am probably going to pick one up at the end of this month. I’ve been putting it off for awhile but there are just too many yards I’m passing up because of the gate figment issue. The mower definitely seems like a beast!
32 mowers get you in back
gates but they do rut , A 36
Will get in most gates with 0
Ruts!
Santa promised me a 36" Kubota stand on for Christmas. Elves are painting it as we speak! Can't wait
jay left That new Kubota stand on is a Bobcat Quick Kat painted orange. That’s it.
How you feel about the Bradley lawn mower
Never ran one sorry.
Awww stop ur belly ACE n boyyys My grand dad used a sling blade to cut feilds...,
Going to buy the scag 36” next week. Anyone know is it good on hills. And can it cut a acre under a hour?
