An equipment show NOT MEANT for the public.

This show has new Mowers, gear and equipment but its only for cities & municipalities. The public is not Invited. I go in to see the new equipment. BUT Some I am NOT allowed to film...

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

The yellow/red is: Vredo compact seeder. The blue thing is: The IMANTS® ShockWave is a linear decompactor, designed to revitalise heavy wear areas by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration and removing surface water. Used on fine turf like golf courses.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the info!

[@Raul28153]

I was thinking Dethatcher

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

@@Dirtmonkey when i see you going thru this event and talking with people it seems like they weren't too keen on you being there. I think that contractors like you and others should be catered to because sooner or later the cities are going to be in a money crunch and won't be able to have all the nice toys. It individuals that make stuff happen. And I also wondered why it seemed like they always send out company reps to an expo that never want to talk with the public. Lack of training.

[@CrusaderSports250]

@@Jimmy_in_Mexicoalso remember when the toys get older and sold on that's when the smaller operator gets to play, and spares sales, whether to new or second hand purchasers are still sales.

[@williambrooymans]

that vredo seeder is a reseeder. it cuts a small v groove which enables a gap where the seeds fall in. it cat seed in thick grass with a row distance of 1 inch!! the vredo and imants are both made in the Netherlands.

[@mcapps1]

$25,000 for a battery powered zero turn mower??? Yeah no thank you I don't smoke crack.

[@charlessmith5274]

Yeah, municipalities are the only ones that can afford that, guess all that stimulus money has to go somewhere…

[@andrewb2111]

@@charlessmith5274 I'm already picturing the guy sitting on it collecting $50/Hr of taxpayer money when the battery goes dead.

[@ttgk8506]

I could buy 2 gas mowers and have some left over

[@csmlawnandlandscape7619]

The Gravely EV is $25,000...for one mower!!!!!! Ummm yeah, I'll stick with gas power for my mowers.

[@dangerousliberty]

You would only have to charge 10 times as much for a yard. I'm sure there will be many government institutions that shell out for one or two without blinking an eye.

[@thehunt4truth570]

A-frickin-men!! I can't agree more, yet nevertheless our political parasites are determined to end gas powered EVERYTHING, and FORCE us into a life of battery powered everything, and dirty electrickery for everything else! Free energy be damned because there ain't no damn room for greed in it since there's no way for the rat bastard corporation to make endless profits from such a thing!

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Always cool when you find a show Or an auction unexpectedly and actually have the time to stop and enjoy👍

Like a kid running into a candy shop 😛

[@scsc9311]

Most of those guys there seemed to be on vacation. Even a little annoyed that Stan was asking questions. smh

[@ITubeTooInc]

@@scsc9311 They were probably just annoyed that he jumped in and interrupted most of them mid-conversation with someone else.

[@charliejohnson6416]

The red/yellow thing is a motorized hot dog stand, and the blue thing is a water wheel so you can paddle through deep water obviously

[@tundralife5570]

I KNEW IT!!!! 👍🏻

That was my second guess!

Don’t think I would buy that mower that’s battery operated for commercial use it only a 4 1/2 hour run time

Stan's crop dusting involves 🌽 and 🌾 My crop dusting involves 💨 💩 🤮

[@Dirtmonkey]

LOL ok maybe mine involve a bit of both too

[@lesransom2964]

The first cub cadet seems to be their answer to a Ventrac. Oh wait ! I saw a Ventrac in the background when you were talking about the Kubota UTV. The drone is pretty cool. I like that remote ballpark line doodad. Oh ! Oh ! VENTRAC !!! I needed that lol The ABI machine was real nice with all those attachments. Thanks Stan for sneaking us in

[@Dirtmonkey]

glad you enjoyed the show!

[@jesseandaya7788]

That blue attachment is a slicer that help loosen up the ground and allow for aeration and help areas with standing water to drain.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for that🙏

[@hydmonger2816]

Stanley : "I wonder how much a drone like that could go for..." Me: Hehehe I know how much a disgruntled crop duster could take that down for 😜

[@montneymon-ta-knee6810]

John deere brought out lesco years ago. I didnt know lesco was still in business

[@lindencamelback2305]

I believe John Deere sold LESCO about 8 years ago or at least entered into a joint ownership.

[@Mbolich52]

I wonder if that Cub Cadet seat would fit on a Ventrac?

[@clay500]

Hey Stan, did that Gravely rep say the $25K battery mower runs for only 4.5 hours?

[@tylermallory2504]

And that's probably only on perfectly flat ground, throw some hills in the mix and it probably drops to 3 hours or less

[@flooredford9350]

i mowed a damp, knee high 5 acre pasture for 4 hours last sunday with my old jd 657a, didnt miss a beat and used 5 gallons of fuel. batteries suck in any form of ride-on equipment.

[@GenghisKhan311]

I didnt realize lesco was still making equipment

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Now if someone put a GPS and Auto-Steer on a mower like tractors and combines have on them

[@kalle8836]

I think the blue thing is a, ground airer… it’s puts cuts in the ground that lets air go to the root of the grass and it grows better

[@Dirtmonkey]

I think you are right!

[@anthonymakley1530]

Thank you for another great video god bless have a good weekend. Thank you again 👍

6:15 The drone will be interesting, because in the future you'll be using an AI version that knows where your fields are and which parts need greater coverage. There'll be none of that guy standing there with a remote control

Thats probably coming very soon

Great video, Stan! I'm a gearhead when it comes to lawncare equipment. This was pretty neat to see some other equipment used for other specialties. Can't wait for GIE! Hope to catch you there at some point.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Love it. That’d be awesome 👊

[@GenghisKhan311]

The prices are insane people need to stop paying ridiculous prices for everything.

[@Harloha]

It's not like it only cost them a hundred bucks to make, and then they're selling them for 30 grand. So technically, it cost a ridiculous amount to make this equipment.

[@backseatdriver9576]

This was one of my favorite videos you've ever done. I wish they had this stuff open to the public and I wish you could have shown us ALL of it. Very cool stuff.

[@tonka5]

Battery powered riding mower. Runs 4-1/2 hrs. That’s a short work day! $25 grand. Runs 1/2 a day only. Charge overnight with clean coal electricity or clean nuclear energy. No sarcasm intended.

Subaru hasn't made small power equipment engines for several years now. Maybe Kubota bought their old equipment/tooling to make the engines? Kubota certainly didn't buy the company...

[@stephenbartram7377]

They can keep that overpriced battery gravely! Only reason why everyone is pushing battery driven is because the batteries are made in chyna

[@mikemcgown6362]

That was an interesting product show. I don't know what most of it was or the uses for the equipment, but for somebody like you that does that kind of work, that would be a blast! Good manufacturers develop new equipment to make jobs more efficient and productive. Glad to see they still stepping up with the pandemic still happening. Life does go on! Thanks for sharing the experience and information with us! God bless you!

[@rickvance1863]

What a joke. Lawn mower can work four hours and eight hours to charge for $30k, and a lawn sprayer that only fly's for 10 minutes for $35k. It's only tax payer's money and city union jobs.

[@bynu2]

We run a couple ventrac with rough mowers or aerators in the summer otherwise we use 20 some ventrac 4500s in the winter

[@joewearsadroolbib7347]

I use the XLG 467 with the 72" deck, rototiller attachment and hydro seeder for overgrown asphalt parking lots. It's amazing for short work snow removal as well. Best of all, it's priced under $18,000 with the attachments.

[@tylermallory2504]

Only problem with the drones for crop dusting is the lack of payload, they can't carry very much chemical...

[@jeffdavis146]

Golf course toys,... I used a Heckendorn, it was an accident on 3 wheels. You mowed a slope by standing on the deck and leaning/steering into it.

Glad I’m not the only one stoked hehe 😁👍

[@Titan.Fox56]

I just got to admit I enjoy watching and going to these types of things myself, just the way they improve their equipment or bring out newer stuff that can make doing the job just a little bit easier and less stressful blows my mind. Pretty cool can't wait to see what they are gonna unveil.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Couldn’t agree more. So stoked 😁

[@dave_n8pu]

Being a old retired guy, the thing that impressed me the most was the swivel seat on that lawn mower. To bad that doesn't come standard on your Big Box home improvement store lawn mowing machines. You mentioned about butt pucker because of some of the angles, I have just the average house with a couple of small slops that I hang onto the machine until I get back on level ground.

[@Dirtmonkey]

That seat is simple- but very nice!

[@WorleyLawnServices]

Loved the video and can’t wait for gie I’ll be there and hope to maybe run into you there and meet you in person I’m a huge fan.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Sounds like a plan 😁👊

[@uncle-beej4385]

Having to use a battery operated power wheelchair on a daily basis due to a injury, which is meant for off-roading and heavy use.. which has 2 big batteries and 4 motors one for each tire, the drain on the batteries to do anything extra is a total drag on the whole system, the amount of use l get from it and probably from the mower showing on here as well doesn't merit the price.. 4 hours isn't that long and depending on the use over flat ground or on hills will factor into that time frame, especially cutting on hills will cut down the length of time, and with more use the longer the charge needed, till you got no choice but to replace the batteries which are not cheap, also it doesn't matter the placement and use... the electric motors will get very hot as there is no cooling from them. great idea but in reality not very practical over years of use

[@mdpowerwashingllc5207]

I love how everybody panics when the camera is on them they act like they were secretly making shine LOL

[@Dirtmonkey]

I know- they get all weird out of nowhere.

I hope ed Wright comes out with a new mower at the gie

[@aw02pye]

Imants shockwave is a aerator that slits lines into the ground causing the earth to move and open up. The thing beside it was a Vredo disc seeder, simple disc overseeder. I work with a 3m shockwave and a 2.8m vredo. Good bits of kit.

[@aw02pye]

Also the Trimax pegasus s4 is possibly the best roller mower on the market.

[@shoominati23]

Damn I wish I had that remote control linemarker rig for when I used to linemark 17 pitches around 3 suburbs for a local soccer club!
