I'm considering a stand-on mower but am 6'6". Has anybody that is tall experienced any physical or operating problems with these machines.

I demoed one for a day--why don't you see if you can do that. By the end of the day you should be able to tell if its for you. I am 6'3" and didn't have a height problem....but being new to it found myself tensing up which wound up hurting. Once you get used to it I'm sure it would come natural.

I've stood on a surfer now that you mention it.
It didnt seem to be an awkward fit at all.
I'm not sure about the long term though.
My dealers pro day is March 20. They're reported to have booked both the surfer and the stander.

I might go just to check these two out.
or
Imight have to avoid the multiple temptations.
I can't afford to walk out of there with a gas can!

You are probably going to end up bending
over which will make a day long.

HAHA, I am only 5ft7. Sounds like you guys must get killed by going under trees and such with branches sticking out.

Duck!!!!!!!!! LOL No seriously i cant imagine it being a problem other than being cautious and watching where your going. Im not super tall but im 6' and i have used one once and just had to watch around the ornamentals so i didnt closeline myself.
