TURF TRACER TAKEOVER! (My Favorite Walk Behind Mower)

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

This mower is such a fun setup, I almost shed a tear when I think about my old Viking walk behind.. #goodtimes #2007

[@ThatTexan2002]

What is the deffrence between a Stand on and Walk Behind?

[@KeepItMowed]

How tall are you? You seemed very comfortable on that set up.

[@Tobynsocks]

I always loved the turf tracer. Used to them way back in 2005 to 2010 or so and they were quality cutting machines with minimal maintenance issues

[@Trentcallender113]

Love the old intro back!!! So much better!!!

[@andrewgonzalez1530]

Lovvvvvvve the old intro. Yes!!!

[@fredcurrier5912]

REALLY old school. I thought that you meant the sponsor tiles (or whatever they are) with the sound effect when each came up.

[@DayJawn]

Just started my company this year and I know for sure you have helped me beyond anyone else. Thank you for making these videos

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That’s awesome brother, glad to hear the content is helping!

[@grgygantz6760]

Great video. I was in the green industry from 2001 till 2019. In sunny hot Florida . Had both hips replaced and now ready to get back in.

The best intro on KZbin is back! I've been lacking on the videos but it is good to see the intro again.

TT = straight up nostalgia. Loves my TT when I started cutting years ago. Still nothing like mowing on a sulky. Miss it 😢

Been running a Hydro Turf Tracer for over 20 years now, best cutting unit ever, you sure do leave lots of weed eating to do with that thing

Without doubt Exmark makes the best walk behind mower on the market. I prefer the wright 2 wheel velke over the one you had on this mower.

Hey Brian, love the videos. Was wondering if you could give a shout out to my son Jacob Allard sometime. He’s 10 years old, loves your videos and mowing lawns, and he’s been working so hard this summer mowing yards. I told him someday when he’s older he can use our turf tracer. Take care, keep up the good work, we love your content.

[@speedcuttersoutdoormainten6697]

Cant operate without walk behinds, nothing better on those steeper hills and around ponds. Cut quality is solid too! Turf tracer is the best!

Looks just like my turf tracer 48 inch 17 hp kawasaki I also got the older version metro hp belt drive with 15hp kawasaki, I love them both absolute work horses, never had any issues with them 👍

[@Tobynsocks]

Man seeing that Turf tracer brings back alot of memories from 10-15 years ago period must be nice though as I watch all you guys on KZbin and none of you half the bag much grass. In my area everyone bags everything and man can it stink in the heat

[@shogunMR]

The Turf Tracer is great so is its older brother the Xmark Metro that I have. Awesome vid bro 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@kylescottjohnston]

Love the metro. Only a few spots where a floating deck would be great

[@travisgrant1559]

Here in the suburbs of Atlanta (Gwinnett) you see 48 inch turf tracers everywhere. Besides that it’s super diverse. I just got a 48 inch proline and it’s perfect for the yards I have (only have to push mow 3 small backyards) but it all just depends on your client base here

That sulky is a game changer! I have an old turf tracer with the pistol grips and a single wheel sulky but your sulky might even put my staris to shame!!!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That’s an old school unit for sure, I love it!

[@KymTube]

I’m seriously thinking of the 60 inch purchase

[@rafaguti4335]

I’ve always liked this mower, the company I used to work for would only run these types of mowers and big companies in general would run these down here in ATX

[@TheLawnFellas]

That intro 🔥 I thought I was gonna get a shoutout for that intro recommendation 😂😂😂 Just having some fun!! I just got a turf tracer 48 it’s a 2004 model awesome mower for sure. Still learning with it so I only cut my back yard for now.

[@anthonyholmes9510]

I have the 52 onw and I love it

[@chrisrieger9201]

The doing have real good cut quality, however if you have to change the deck height multiple times through the day, wear a back brace!!!!

[@Dale.Nienow]

Great video Brian, we haven’t mowed this week at all! We’ve gotten 8 inches of rain in 4 days starting Sunday though today so we will start mowing next week again!

In the suburbs of Orlando most companies use stand on’s below 40 inches and a cut price of below $30.

[@F150Carlos]

I dont really see people in Orlando use stand on's mainly 60 + in zero turns and 36 to 48 in walk behinds

[@mattsharkey311]

At least in my area most companies use stand on for the breeze and you almost never see walk behind

[@zangzang1268]

Is the front end light? CG over rear wheels? Or are you leaning down on controls getting used to it? Front wheels are hopping quite a bit in video. Aft CG placement and a stand behind might be great on slopes. Do tell.

[@WhiteNotTheShade]

Do you guys move the trampoline? At most all of my jobs we will cut all around where it is then move it so we can keep our lines nice and straight.

Right on!

[@jamess9208]

Hey Brian congrats on the little one. What is the name of the rubber chute deflector you use

[@michaeltobin905]

Love the videos!!! How do you determine the grass height through the fall when getting ready for winter. I mow at 3-4 inches in summer, do you step down slowly as the weather changes or just cut a lower height to get ready for the colder weather??? Also when you building your house???? Cant wait to see that!! Be safe out there!

[@anthonywhite7720]

What attachment is that on the turf tracer

[@janhermanek2159]

The guy on the rideon step is really light weight. But for a heavier guy I can imagine the wheels digging in a lot. The same goes if the grass is wet.

[@Farmd427]

Break down cut quality and speed between the zero turn and walk behind. I can see the walk behind might save some trim work under some low hanging branches but overall it seems that the Lazer Z would be worth the extra money on speed/performance alone. I’ve used 42” to 60” mowers, and the 60” is my favorite for fewer passes to mow. The 42” is better for saving trim time, but my time is saved by the 60” cut in my opinion. You have advice on the situation?

[@jimbrodeur8711]

I own a 52 Turf Tracer and 60 Lazer. Both X-series EFI. Hands down the zero turn is far faster and cuts better than the walk behind. BUT and it's a big BUT, the walk will mow things the zero can't. I live in NH and it's very hilly. The Turf Tracer destroys the sit down on hills and tight areas. Also much less turf damage when using the walk behind. If you mow big flat open areas and just want to knock out the yards, nothing beats a sit down zero turn.

[@Farmd427]

[@Alex.AL_26]

In the past few weeks I have noticed the digital fuel gauge on my lazer z was being very inaccurate at times for example if I just filled up it would show completely empty and other times when I was under a half tank it would show full. Just wondering if you have ever experienced this issue and if you have any idea what might cause this.

[@Tobynsocks]

Plus those Kohler engines are far superior to anything I've seen in 15 to 20 years of working in the industry. Granted the more companies seem to have been upset with the lack of issues that the Kohler engines have so they tried to change them and have caused many issues with the newest of the mowers from the Dealer's I've spoken with recently

[@derrickhenry8620]

I found one of these in the 36” with Kawasaki. For 3800 with 15 hours. Would this be a better investment than one of the 3k dollar zero turns. Like a husqvarna or cub cadet

[@meegstomtom]

I'd love to try a turf tracer. But as a solo guy I'm not sure it would pay to have one along side my xmark radius.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I’d say the productivity spectrum would be walk behind, stander, zero turn, so I think in your case you’re headed in the right direction.

[@jacksonalonzo4903]

I prefer the hustler trimstar

[@christophermills8006]

what would you all consider the best zero turn for un-even or hilly yards??

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Any of them with wide tires and a 60” deck, that’s it, they’re all very similar these days.

[@christophermills8006]

@@BriansLawnMaintenance I ask because I own an exmark 60” deck but the frame is a fixed solid frame and I have a lot of wheel spin out even on the slightest of grades on corners. It’s almost impossible to keep a wheel moving if it’s not in contact with the ground. I think my problem may lie in the “series” of my machine, as it isn’t a lazer z

[@mikedeiana1504]

Are use the original Valky one wheel for years. You need to be very careful for backing up. I see by your video two wheel. Valky is the way to go.

[@TonzX22]

When it's time to replace the Z probably next year at the rate you're going do you think maybe the Toro 6000 series with it's turbo force deck would be in the running as a potential replacement?

Hey I noticed when you were on the Walk Behind that you weren’t doing a K turn...I’ve never used a walk behind just a lazer z and Staris so just wondering why the difference there? Thanks!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

It’s a little more difficult with a walk behind and a velke, but you can still do one. The issue with that sulky is when you back up, it digs backwards into the turf I’ve noticed.

[@jasonsmiley5514]

Lol hope you don’t have many to cut at that speed lol

[@dustin5007]

I just don't understand the need for a walk behind bigger than 36 inches. Stand up zero turns are better all the way around. Smaller foot print on the trailer. Similar in price. Faster. More comfortable. There isn't any reason to get a walk behind any more
