Why we switched from Exmark to John Deere

[@thomassojka2704]

Perfect example of a dealer thinking outside the box to win customers. That Deere dealer could sell equipment at cost, and still make money because they've got the lock on your parts business. Great video.

[@ethanthelandscaper8919]

We got sold our last walk behind a couple of years ago and have not looked back. To us the stand on zero turn units have so much more productivity. Much more intuitive design and move alot quicker, which all adds up to more grass cut in a day.

[@stevevetter8045]

That’s awesome with the Consignment Parts

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

_Could you do a video mowing with both of them please?_

[@insertnamehere313]

Exmark and I will never switch until a PROVEN mower with a better cut and durability comes along and it needs time to prove it so Exmark is my choice.

[@leadnsteel1428]

Sorry but never liked exmark. There was a video of someone who bought a brand new Exmark stand on Areator and it broke on him right on the first lawn. Old Exmarks yes new ones hell no. I would rather have a Toro

[@greenhillscustomlawncarell1139]

I’ve always had exmark too but there are better mowers out there. I baby my machines as far as fluids and maintenance and my staris and lazer z were both on warranty work within the first 16 months. I’m looking into other brands. Just can’t make my mind up.

[@user-jy8dn8td6g]

​@@leadnsteel1428 toro bought exmark

[@FrostyTheSnowman12321]

I used to be an ExMark Fan Boy. . . But the Scag VRide-II tops 🔝 EVERYTHING when it comes to CUT QUALITY! Which is always my #1 Priority! The Quality of Cut!

[@FrostyTheSnowman12321]

ExMark is Outdated. Check the New Scags! BEST CUT QUALITY OUT THERE! About to Switch to GREEN 🟩 though because ORANGE 🍊 is just UGLY! 🤢🤮

[@harryerhart5978]

I did the same thing in 2014 l love JD and you will too I've yet to see a mower cut St Augustine grass better and mulch grass better l have a 960m 920m and a 636m we buy new mowers every 2 years good luck with your new mowers 👍👍

[@matt02468]

you can flip the starter on the exmark. I did it on mine so you pull from the back right, so no matter how you put it in a trailer as long as it is deck first you can pull start it and get it out. this is not a downside, it takes 2 minutes with a wrench.

[@FrostyTheSnowman12321]

Oh you still pull starting!? You can have that! We’re in 2024 now! Everything Electric!

[@Dr777cl]

Love This Video. Thanks

[@spin0491]

Exmark is leader in commercial mowers for a reason if you feel like that Deere has same cut quality go for it....... personally nothing cuts better than an exmark other than that Dag on velocity deck from scag........ put Deere next to exmark stripping is much better as well

[@harryerhart5978]

We go with service first no good service here for any brand we don't strip because Florida grass doesn't so we go with exmark or John Deere both are about a hour away both cut good but Deere had a big advantage of price and finance 😇

[@FrostyTheSnowman12321]

And what experience are you speaking from!? Opinion!? I’ve literally had Toro, ExMark, John Deere, Scag, Great Dane, Etc. etc. Etx. And SCAG (altho I 🤢 hate Orange) it has HANDS DOWN the best cut! And it’s not even close! Scag V-Ride II to be even more specific. I’ve had Ride Ons, Walk Behinds, Push Mowers, Zero Turn / Sit Down, Etc. And NOTHING beats the Scag! My biggest thing is that UGLY orange color! But if you can get past that then it’s definitely the better / the best cut out there! -From Hands On Experience not FanBoying. . . I used to be a ExMark Fan Boy. They’re Ehhh OverRated Now-Days. . . There’s better machines to be had at the same price, or lower.

[@spin0491]

I have them all in my fleet you mentioned except Great Dane as well as I own a wright….. it wasn’t clear which mower do you like best?

[@ryansellscars9773]

I am looking for a commercial grade walk behind, nothing larger than a 36 or smaller than a 30, of my personal yard. How is the Deere when going over the crest of a hill and is scalping an issue? I mow tall (4" or higher) but the space between the front and rear wheels concerns me in regards to scalping. The crest is a fairly gentle roll and the hill isn't steep, but I like a perfectly manicured yard.

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

If scalping is a concern with hills, I would always pick the smallest mower possible.

[@logansimpson305]

Great video I love my John Deere mowers I run John Deere and scag

[@medusa210562]

Can anyone please tell me if the cub cadet hydro 336 walk behind is a good machine?

[@ringokidd387]

Is it an MTD or is it really John Deere?

[@tel111827]

Not positive but im pretty sure the JD is actually a Wright “velke”

[@cntrigrl]

I think it’s more like J.U.N.K.

[@kennymartin379]

I got a new john deer 42 inch zero turn i love it

[@cantstopwalkingbutlovemowing]

Question have any of your guys ever mowed at top speed .i have have that john deer w36r. And she is a beast I don't have the balls to run at full speed let alone the room to do it .I was just wondering lol 😆

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

Ha ha. No we don't. I think our guys would be in a full sprint with it to keep up. I would hate to see the damage they would cause going that fast.

[@cantstopwalkingbutlovemowing]

I was wondering because at lower speeds she has gotten away from me. Lol 😆 and my son even ran into my bush 🤣 but I freaking love that mower .the manly base gets in my voice every time I start her up lol 😆 😂 😅 🤣

[@Bob.sackamano]

The pull cord can be turned to the other direction. Its real easy.

[@firstname6208]

hell of a program from JD. personal parts is a deal maker for sure.

[@Sargeantyardpros]

Im looking at this same decision. What do you say no after a year??? Would you still do the switch, or stay with eXmark?

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

We are still happy with them and a big part of that comes from the service that they offer in this area. All of the different brand mowers will have issues of some type, so it's the service that I focus on.

[@dennied7826]

​​@@CenturyOutdoorServices Your reply is the ultimate truth, I see loads of whizbang toys on the internet, but unless you see it being used in your area, and unless there's service support for it..

[@wpowerwagon]

Sharping the blade is one thing and don't forget to balance the blade, it will prolong the life of the hubs

[@user-jy8dn8td6g]

Just run it. Cost of a hub vs few sets of blades from sharping and grinding to get it balanced and time to do that.

[@adrianrog]

How are you still liking those John Deere mowers after 3 years?

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

Our guys are still enjoying them and they are easy to work on.

[@MJF40]

👍🇺🇸

[@Rammer_Jammer]

Nothing runs like a deere

[@arngreencare8955]

Yeah, I seen one run right out in front of a car once...

[@scottsmith7337]

Nothing runs away with your money like a Deere

[@rontopping2048]

Walk behinds went out in early 2000. Stand on mowers are close to same money and more productive

[@chuckschob107]

I still like walk behinds on hills better

[@scottsmith7337]

Not if you have 30 degree hills like I have , there is no ZTR or stander which can cut my hills without sliding but my exmark can no problem

[@mikeadler434]

👍👍

[@Jjason601]

I’m fixing make switch also

[@300ignacio]

sale it to me I want the exmark if you don't have use for it ,I need one

[@davidfuerst793]

My exmark walk behind is an electric start!

[@everlastingvideos4970]

I love the service plan from John Deere a rip off and now that the plants on strike I can't even get my new 652r I bought 2 weeks ago and they say I want have it till next summer Scag is the best cut bit then again it's all a mess these days I have 3 w48r a 915 and 3 well 2 930m's and one r series but my favorite walk behind is the Hustler trim star personally

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

It is hard right now to get any new equipment. Toro/Exmark are very behind as well.

[@everlastingvideos4970]

@@CenturyOutdoorServices yes as well as everyone it's crazy and the cost is even crazier I hope you are enjoying your green machines I certainly. Am

[@scottsmith7337]

Scag has the worst customer service from the factory to the dealer’s, they’re total A holes

[@bigjohn8549]

John deer parts will always be 50% more

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

They do cost us a little bit more, but we are not having to pay someone the time to go pickup parts or waiting to have them shipped. Either way there is a cost associated with getting them.

[@harryerhart5978]

Lots of people talk about quality of cut like exmark scag Ferris and others but nobody ever comes out for a demo to show me a better cut talk is cheap no mower cuts St Augustine better than JD 960m prove me wrong 😁😁😁

[@WILDWOODislandder]

That's exactly why not to buy a John Deere they're trying to pull a apple we're only they can work on the machines it's a big problem with Farmers that can't get access to diagnostic software end end up shipping huge farm equipment 80 plus miles spending thousands of dollars just to ship it when it's a simple problem but they can't do anything because they don't have access to the software it's stuff like that why not to buy a John Deere it's like saying to somebody you own it but we're the only ones allowed to work on it and we're the only place where you can get parts for it it's a s*** thing to do

[@rontopping2048]

Exmark and Toro has best cut quality

[@wpowerwagon]

Engine engine not a motor, engine uses a fuel and a motor is electrical

[@ryansellscars9773]

All engines are motors, but not all motors are engines.

[@Jjason601]

I’m not happy with those loud transmission

[@deerepower337]

There is only one mower and that’s a John Deere

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

I really wish that was true. I do love their history. It really comes down to the service and where I live Deere takes care of us really well.

[@jeffreykamke]

Hydro walk behind? Dude a stander will smash whatever productivity you think you're getting from 20 year old technology!

[@CenturyOutdoorServices]

Due to the severity of the slopes of our typical properties, stand on mowers are more of a problem for us and I wish that was not the case.
