Another annoying newbie?

[Dogrescuer]

Hello I enjoy lawncare I have 3+ acres to cut and I currently use a husqvarna 42in ride on ( can't go wider due to shed). My ? is what would be the benefits if any of a homeowner switching to a stand on, for example a 36in grandstand or something like it? I'm open to any opinions, thank you.

I cut 2 acres with a 52" stand on. Between sitting and standing it's not even a question for me as to which I prefer. I'll never sit again.


I don't know i'd go with a 36" though for cutting over 3 acres unless I didn't mind taking a few hours to do it. I like to be done 1.5 hours or less I love to cut grass, but I have limits LOL

Thanks but my shed won't allow but 42 max, what's the name of your stand on?

Is the shed area not just a small part of the 3+ acres? I’d cut that area with maybe a walk mower and get 60” for the rest

The benefits will be cutting at least 4 times as fast. If by rider you are not including a ztr. You can also get the stander front under things you can't with a rider or a ztr which also equates to a faster cut. So yeah, speed. Coming from someone that's used a rider (long time ago but did it for years), and currently runs both a ztr and stander. Largest prop we do is just under and acre of turf.

Why are standers better than riders?

More maneuverable, lighter, bumps absorbed by legs not back, if you have to get off, it’s just stepping off, can be used as a w/b too
