rumors of possible standup or 'surfer' exmark mower
hmmm.. let's see. i heard a rumor that exmark sometime around the first of the year has a new stand-on or 'surfer' mower coming out called the advantage..
 how would that make sense??
toro owns 'em and has the grandstand..
any thoughts out there??

Isnt the Grandstand more expensive than a comparable ZTR? I heard this and couldnt understand why, but Exmark does charge near $9000. for a full size turf tracer? So maybe its true?

The Grandstand is about the same in cost as a hydro WB but no sulky is needed.
