Got the Bradley stander mower.

Why I got the Bradley:
A) Zero turn, cut down my mowing time.
B) With my jacked-up and uneven yard, this back of mine is getting wrecked, bouncing on the tractor for 3 hours while mowing.
C) It's so much fun!

Man that mulch plate is awesome! So easy on and off! Looks to be a great buy bud! Glad it came sooner than you thought!

[@pondacres]

Hey dude, I am thinking to eventually build a chute blocker like you did for your BX, but only with a detent so that it would either stay all the way closed, up and sticking out like a normal deflector, or flipped over all the way up and not blocking the chute at all. Oh yeh man, pleasant surprise it came earlier, they were saying spring...I was like damn, making a dude wait! So much fun and real back saver for me, mine was taking a pounding bouncing around on the tractor. My yard is crazy!

I would like to see how it does on hills. As you might know I do a lot of hill with my 52. Thinking about get another big mower when I have to put my 52 in the shop, but not sure I want another 52. Great video, upload more please

[@pondacres]

Does great on hills, dude! That's my property, some of it 15+ degree slope and then uneven ground around the pond, Brad did great with all that. I also purposely took it way back in the wetland to see how it does back there, couldn't get it stuck where my craftsman gt with a locking differential sometimes does. So that's nice! King, I see you mow some bigger lots, if I was you and looking at another Bradley, that's be the 61". On their Craiglist ads, they got it at $6k, same price as their 52" on there.

[@twinbrookacres]

Looks like it does a fantastic job, and it looks to be well made. Thanks for sharing. - Rick

[@pondacres]

It's built like tank, Rick. The thing is a beast.

[@MrRerod]

Cant believe their 61" is only 6k now

[@pondacres]

That's a steal, I'd jump on that now if I was looking for a wider feller than my 48".

[@alanruechel2240]

I've noticed Bradley has raised the prices considerably on all of their mowers

[@pondacres]

Hi Alan, yeh I'm sure pricing crept up lately with the supply chain woes and all that. Check out SLE Equipment, that's where I ordered mine from, it was an awesome deal at the time.

[@soulja617]

Bradley still has the best price in the industry when it comes to entry level commercial equipment !

[@rosesmith6208]

absolutly we had to cut ours out too, I tried (having never used a stand on or the controls before) and my hubbydid too to drive it off but he ended up getting the saw and cutting it out, the instructions yes are not clear at all, very incomplete on alot of it like how to adjust the levers so they are not so darn sensitive to the slightest move or mistake depending on you think about it. I am getting used to the controls, but my legs have to get used to standing and shift weight to stay upright and to do the hills we have (they are not that steep) we have the 52 inche but we got it for our use, not commerical or anything. I wanted soemthing I could get on and off easily to move things out of the way or to see things better which is a bonus. I am still getting used to the height of the deck to see how the yard looks, I am still unsure of myself when backing up in tight spaces tho but will work on it, it is a nice mower so far.

[@pondacres]

Hi Rose, same with us, we got it just for our own property. Yeh it maybe takes a little time on it to get the hang of the controls, body position and all that, but you'll get there....and then you'll wonder why you spent all that previous time on a sit-down mower. ;)

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

It looks like it has a really good cut. That is fast! lol Have a good one P.A! See ya!

[@pondacres]

Hey buddy, how are ya! It's fast yeh, faster than me...still getting used to it.

[@Walshslandscaping]

[@pondacres]

Bradley Mowers!!!

[@pondacres]

Yup!

[@moneyjunkiemitch9018]

How that Vanguard working out?

[@pondacres]

Hi, other than a crankcase breather issue from the factory they had to fix for me, it's been solid.

[@agirlandhercows501]

nice mower

[@pondacres]

Hey there cowgirl! Thanks, the mower is good when it works lol. Explanation vid in the works.

[@thenate243]

What is the part number of that chute plate blocker?

[@pondacres]

It's the blocker plate and gator blades. For the 48" stander, it's p/n 601-243.

[@CuttaSquad]

🔥🔥🔥

[@clobbyhops]

Is this a made in China product?

[@pondacres]

You know what, I never really got a concrete answer on that. I read somewheres that they mfg parts in China, but assemble here in their Bradley, IL plant. I've also heard they're partially assembled oversees and get the final assembly here. Personally, I don't hate on China, I shop at Harbor Freight after all.

[@clobbyhops]

@@pondacres I like Harbor Freight too 🤗👌

[@pondacres]

@@clobbyhops I recently learned it's assembled here, foreign and domestic parts.

[@edge-men8985]

Stander or walk-behind mowers, Edge-men converts the mower to a multitasking machine in seconds! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJashH6parF7r80 (In the video Bradley attached with Edgemen)

[@pondacres]

Ok cool, it's an interesting attachment you got there. Not for me though, I got tractor with a backhoe and a rake tooth bar for the loader, would just use that.
