What is better???
Hello all I am new to the industry started this year and have done better than I expected looking to bridge over to full time in another year or so. My question is I have a 36" belt drive walk behind that is getting somewhat old/unreliable I am looking at purchasing another mower and using that as a back up. Should I buy a zero turn rider or stander??? I just want to know which would be more practical. I am up in the air on the decision seeing advantages to both. Wanted some advice from people that use or have used both. Brand wise i am gonna go with gravley, ferris, scag, or exmark. Thanks

For an all around mower, I would suggest a 52" Exmark Turf Tracer walk behind with a velke.

If those are the brands your going to go with, I'd go for a Ferris comfort control DD w/velke.

I say to go set up some demos on some standers and ztrs. IMO if your properties are like 1/2 acre or smaller go with a stander if they are bigger I'd go with a ztr.

Thanks I think the stander in my opinion from the yards I have and will get would work better. I live in Mississippi so no hills at all really, and if we have them they are ditches. just have read some bad things about them and wanted some feedback on them. Example scag v ride uses oil, things I wouldn't know from a demo. I'm not ditching my walk behind by any stretch of the imagination I love that machine for what I payed for it but to increase productivity with a faster more maneuverable mower would be excellent. Thanks for the response..

Scag using oil isn't the mower but the engine. I find it funny how others flame a brand of mower because of something else being wrong.
