GETTING THE WORK DONE BEFORE GIE (Backup Mower Brought In!)

Rob and I are out crushing it today on a Sunday, trying to get all of our work done before GIE+EXPO 2021! We are tackling most of our commercial lawns today and then trying to bring up some of our Tuesday residential route to Monday.
The interesting thing about our Monday route is the fact that we need 2 mowers to get things done as fast as possible. I reached out to my friend Brett and was able to borrow his SCAG V Ride 2 for the day. This brings back memories from my demo 4 years ago!
Are you guys ready for GIE+EXPO this week?! I cannot wait to see so many of you down in Louisville KY!

Z3X!!! FTW!!!

I have the same engine. Great discharge.

[@andrewharris3621]

Now that's a mower.

[@horninght]

V-Ride 2 to the rescue!! 👍 I love my 61. ❤ Almont 1000 hrs in 3 seasons..

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I gotta say, the V Ride was a fun mower to use, brought back memories!

[@treyvonlanwservice6860]

Okay bro 👍

[@mowingtrimmingedging214]

😎

[@seansullivan5245]

Even in this video you can see how well the V-Ride II cuts and clean on 1st pass with leaves and grass compared to ExMark. Switched from ExMark to Scag over 15 year's ago and haven't looked back. I run all V-Ride now and cut in Pa where the grass is thick and heavy and the Scag is a time saver and more of my fellow lawn care buddies have also dropped ExMark and switched to Scag.. Just can't top that Velocity plus deck in the morning wet. Thanks for the video

[@jamesalbinger5409]

Congratulations to you and the family!! Be proud of what you’ve accomplished. Your an inspiration to not only me but many others in the industry. This was my first full year out on my own and I’ve learned a great deal from watching your videos and can’t thank you enough for putting in the time and the effort to make them and give back to the industry. I catch you out mowing in the Wixom area but have not been able to stop to say thank you personally. So until then I thank you sir.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Thank you buddy!

[@javonslawncarellc.1182]

I got a tiger cat 2 with the 29 efi best mower ever

[@mytime8243]

I picked up my 61 inch vride 2 about 2 months ago. Things a beast. I got it with the 38.5 hp kawasaki fx1000. Was torn between that and the 61 inch z3x but the scag was the first to come available

[@justinrisinger7506]

Hard to beat that Velocity deck. Not much you can criticize about a V-Ride II. The new 37 HP is amazing.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Agreed 💪

[@chevymudding01]

Scag awesome

[@jronmanlawn]

last year they added the 37 vanguard on the 52 in vride II.

[@bencarr1047]

I bought my vride 2 with the 37hp and it is an absolute beast of a mower it will cut anything I love it and stripes are incredible

[@robertocamacho2751]

Keep pushing forward guys because nothing comes out from the skies

[@tommyatherton1793]

I run a vride 2. I love it!

[@ryanhare3652]

I just put money down on a scag vride 36 inch. Can't wait to use it and their factories are near me to

[@jakemarek5925]

Awesome man can't wait to see the build! Best of luck!!!

[@byronn.2885]

Cold weather is upon us. 32 degrees this morning in northern Michigan. Had to delay my start more than an hour to let the frost burn off.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Yeah we’re starting at 9 lately now!

[@vader2390]

What happened to the dewalt

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

The demo ended we sent it back

[@f7m001]

Scag ftw!!

[@whatisthis9495]

The vride got the best cut. Brian, prove me wrong. Scag got the best deck. I run grasshopper. I've mowed exmark, hustler, big dog, john deere (got a 36 stander), and Wright. Scag by far throws clippings the most gracefully I've ever seen.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

In dry grass Exmark is the best imo. In wet grass SCAG and then Exmark is #2!

[@conorsmith5471]

I put a 40 gallon transfer tank in my trailer and put some old 3/4 plywood around for a little extra protection. We fill up once a week and have one 5 gallon mix can and a 2.5 gallon can of shame for anyone who dies on a lawn. I run 52’s vride2 and tiger cat 2 with bagger and plenty of room. I wish the 37 was available when I got mine, i have the 25 kohler efi on both machines. Running a vride 2 with mulching blades and advanced chute blocker. Had hurricane mulch kit but it was holding me back on some of my larger properties. If you have a bunch of small ones that dont have excessive growth, hurricane mulch kit is ok but the chute blocker makes that machine very versatile for me.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I dig it

[@conorsmith5471]

@@BriansLawnMaintenance That is one gorgeous piece of land you have Brian.

[@jls7006]

You do great work!!!

[@paropes1]

Just picked up my vride 52 and it has the 37 Vanguard. It’s a monster!!

[@wesley9437]

I am interested in the same deck size, but the 26 HP Kawasaki. Do you think that it would be underpowered?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That’s legit!

[@paropes1]

IMO, yes. But also depends on the type of grass you will be mowing. The 37 as of yet hasn’t shown any hesitation.

[@conorsmith5471]

I have a 25hp efi and I wish the 37 was available and I will be going to that when its time to upgrade that machine, it could use the power in thick turf or tall grass in the rapid growing part of the season

[@Andrew_Garcia1]

Scag to save the day!

[@williambermel4264]

What is a small stand on mower that is very affordable that you recommend?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hard to really recommend any as they’re all $7k-$10k now days!

[@DanOneDr]

Heard "wright" aint bad. Brian have you seen "Walker mower" Snow attachments!

[@jacobschillig7290]

Check out a wright stander B

[@jronmanlawn]

have you ever tried the Scag hurricane mulch kit or another brands equivalent?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I have not!

[@TheMoparGarage]

I love my Vride’s so much. Switched from Exmark for this season. SCAG for life now!

[@danzuber2701]

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Hey thanks Ethan!

[@scotbrown7305]

Awesome job. V Ride looks like a great mower. Glad you are getting started on your house soon. You are work hard and deserve something for it. Keep up the great job.

[@Charlie-fc1mh]

I know how much you love exmarks. But if you put the ultra cut side by side with the velocity deck on normal grass, can you tell a difference between the two as far as the cut quality? I'm waiting until the first of the year to buy mine. I thought I had my mind made up for the tiger cat. But now I'm thinking about the lazer s or a 4000 series toro

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

They’re honestly neck and neck

[@justinrisinger7506]

If you are in the North and are consistently cutting thick, green, and damp grass, I’d give the Scag a long look because of the grass dispersal.

[@dustin5007]

Grass is slowing down? Not in Indiana. It feels like spring in October down here.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

It’s barely slowing down, after mowing today I almost retract my statement lol

[@treypawley7827]

Are you ever going to get any John Deere mowers on your channel?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

They never reach out, it would be nice if they did ha

[@treypawley7827]

[@glendajune9140]

Y’all did a great job on your property Brian. I just love those lines& the grass is so thick ,& green. Those 2 factors make for a beautiful cut. Have a great week fellas, stay safe.💯❤️👍🏾💜🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

We have the Vride2 with the 37hp briggs efi. It does have a little more vibration than normal, but it's not bad.

[@BettaLandscaping]

Thank you Mr. Brian God bless have a good day !! Hope that mower gets fixed

[@OrangeSpeedTV]

Hey I got a question maybe you can help with. First year here in MA doing lawn maintenance and trying to decide when my cutoff should be for mowing? Like at what point do I say ok that’s enough, and wait for all the leaves to drop and start cleanups. Seems like it would be pretty simple answer, but I’m struggling on what to do. The grass is still growing but has slowed down quite a bit.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

We go through Halloween, but this year could be an extra week or two with how warm and rainy it’s been!

[@GWH1981]

You guys are looking sharp in the new hoodies man! Where did you guys pick those up again? Gunna have to get the boys and me a few!

[@williammoore5452]

Keep rolling on

[@MyF-qx1tp]

I had the Toro 4000 pro with the kawasaki 25.5hp( wish I had the 31 though) traded in for the 2021 Scag vride 2 52 with the vanguard 37hp with the twin bagging system. No bogging at all great cut, with the belt driven twin bagging system the discharge opening is reduced big time though, puts down great stripes and disperses grass clippings even with bagging and deck baffle off

[@jronmanlawn]

interesting. Can you take off the blower to get the larger deck opening?

[@MyF-qx1tp]

@@jronmanlawn yes there is a mount and belt you can take off, blower can come off but for the vride2 there are two bolt on deck baffles that comes off for factory large discharge opening
