Stand-On vs. Sit On Zero Turn Mowers

[@bushwhackerslawncarepryoro6526]

I like them both, and both have their purposes. We have one stander and three regular JD zero turns.

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes they sure do. What all mowers do you have?

[@JustNik-Q]

What about for steep back hills? Stand up or sit?

[@rosesmith6208]

we have a 52 inche deck stand on, I like my mower, just got it this summer, I have 3 acres with slight hills, one hill I have to do backing up becasue it is safer. I wanted it to strengthen my legs out.

[@WesternEquipment]

Awesome! Sounds like the way to go.

[@gfmikols]

Very straight forward and helpful. Thanks

[@mowingman816]

I love them stand ons especially john deere they are very comfortable standing on them the wright stand ons though not so much they are very stiff! Hope to get me a stand on someday I really like the 48 inch 648 r and m good video as always! 👍👍

[@WesternEquipment]

I am a fan as well. If I did commercial mowing, I would definitely have one or two.

[@JoshAllen17Goated]

The john deere stand on mowers are made by Wright Stander

[@rawsonreich]

I like both of them a stand on mower is good for something that a sit on mower can’t do

[@WesternEquipment]

This is very true. Both are great options.

[@bottmar1]

Haven't wanted a stand on even after mowing for 64 years. Can have a square pail with branch trimmer and hand extension tool for picking up trash in that pail, easily accessible while sitting.

Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@shedder1104]

Great videos!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

The stand up mower would be nice to have to go with my z930m but ill have to go with a different brand than a john deere since they are about $10000 dollars. Where a hustler is about half the price

[@jordanbutler8828]

It looks as tho the stand on fits tightly on a trailer front to back. The front wheels on one would go around the rear wheels of another on a trailer or in a shed allowing more efficient space.

[@msclecarcrzy]

Question for Brent, why don't they use the stamped deck on the stand on? Why a fabricated deck?

[@TotallyNotillegal]

Fabricated decks are stronger. Usually thicker metal and just in general more sturdy. Thats why commericla mowers have fabricated decks

[@WesternEquipment]

In the case of the John Deere stand on mowers, they went with a fabricated deck to be able to make the deck as narrow as possible to create a smaller footprint and to make it more maneuverable.

[@msclecarcrzy]

@@TotallyNotillegal Well their commercial mowers are 7 iron and stamped.

[@Johnsonfan169]

What is the smallest deck size for a stand on?

[@workingcountry1776]

32-36 brand depending

[@randyibarra9825]

Cost and maintenance

[@troysundeen4592]

which one would be better on a steep ditch incline?

[@WesternEquipment]

They will both perform relatively the same, I think this is more of an operator comfort preference more than anything.

[@jfroh6855]

Hands down stander is better side hilling. I run both and the standers sidehill much better. I think it has to do with length of wheelbase (shorter=better) and ability to lean and counterbalance.

[@bottmar1]

What's the yellow vest for in the still shot? Some out of control car driver sliding through the lawn going to regain control by seeing the safety vest?

[@workingcountry1776]

For small yards can't beat a hydro walk behind. Less trimming than stander or ztr. Stand on are nice on commercial sites with curb islands. A bad boy or Ferris ZTR will have suspension and suspension seat and are top pics for anything bigger than a postage stamp lawn

[@WesternEquipment]

Stand-ons commercial walk behinds are pretty uncommon in our are so thanks for the feedback.

[@Yogiraj1969]

Nothing about hills??? 🤷

[@workingcountry1776]

Hydro walk behind for hills. I can mow anything I can walk on with my 20year old hydro 48 inch Ferris walk behind. ZTR for flat and standers can apparently take a grade but center of gravity is much higher than my walk behind
