I have an Exmark 36" Metro belt drive walk behind with the 15 hp Kawasaki V twin engine. How do you think this mower would handle a stand up velkie or sit down sulkie (correct terminology?) ?. I weigh 190. I would appreciate your input.

Your Mower Should Have No Problems With Either Type Sulky.
Mine Handles A Jungle Wheels Sulky Fine With Less HP & More Weight.

My Lesco 36" 14hp Kaw belt drive had no problem pulling a guy thet weighed 320#
By the way he was also 6'9" tall and that's what he started the seasons out with, he went down to about 280# by September
Yours shouldn't even see a difference.

15 HP is plenty to pull you around. The only possible problem is stripping the teeth on the shaft driving the trans. Keep an eye on it for wear.

My 36 used to have a 12.5 Kaw and it pulled a Velke just fine.
