Turf tracer vs Vride

[MTenterprises]

Which handles ALL terrain conditions best? Somebody who runs both, does the turf tracer scalp less Bc of the anti scalp rollers ?

By All terrains I mean uneven ground, dams, other steep hills and ditches. Speed isn't a factor.

Well you are talking about a Walk Behind vs. a Stand On machine. Big difference.
Are you sure you don't mean the Pro-V vs. the Turf Tracer?

In comparison of the 2 machines both 52"
TT Pros-great on hills, easy to handle, doesn't scalp, great on bermuda
TT Con-slower than Vride, leaves clumps in wet conditions, cost $9k

Vride Pros- extremely fast, velocity deck, spring ride platform
Vride Con- scalps, not that great on hills, sucks up a lot of gas, oh yeah it SCALPS!


I know that speed isn't a factor now but it will be one day. Are you looking at adding a machine or replacing a machine?

Replacing the vride with turf tracer....possibly. I mow a lot of Bermuda, but as you know in the south, we mow a lot of tall, wet, crap grass sometimes.

What about keeping both machines? I have my Vride, 52" TT, and 36" TT they each have their strong points.

I may do that, but the 52 tt is $8100 , so I figured I could get 6 k for the vride and put that down on the tt. I will have to sleep on it.

How about keeping the vride and adding a used tt?
