We have a toro 36 stand on, love it because it can also be used as a W/b
buddy of mine is still rocking a w/b w/ a sulky couldn’t tell you the size though

I have a JD 636m (36" standon) and a Ferris Comfort Control DD 48" walk behind. I much prefer the standon. But I have some properties with hills that require the walk behind. I'd look into a lightly used standon if you don't have hills.Anyone still use walk behind mowers or have you gone over to stand on mowers? I am looking to buy a Scag 36" SWZT but everyone tells me to get a stand on. Am I making the wrong move getting a walk behind? I will be using it mainly for backyards. I feel the price difference is not worth it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Biggest diff is backing up with a WB vs a stand on.Anyone still use walk behind mowers or have you gone over to stand on mowers?

How so? Does a stand on go forward to back up?Biggest diff is backing up with a WB vs a stand on.
Whoa Nellie...that's looking close to 18°...you sure you can do that?Knowing what I know now, I would have tried getting a stand on all those years ago when I bought my walk behind.
That said, I would have also gotten something bigger than a 36, but at the time, the 30 inch mowers didn't exist, and I needed to get through gates.
I do need to mow quite a few steep hills though, so I'm thinking a stand on would not be ideal - but I guess if that's the mower I had, I wouldn't be taking on lawns with steep hills.

Don't worry - He's got the right tool for the job. If it were a Stander or Rider - woooosh! - right down the hillside she'd go!Whoa Nellie...that's looking close to 18°...you sure you can do that?
Do you not use a sulky or pro-slide? If not, look into a pro-slide. Very versatile.Knowing what I know now, I would have tried getting a stand on all those years ago when I bought my walk behind.

Much easer to back up with a stand-on. Most WB have a sulky, pain to back up.How so? Does a stand on go forward to back up?![]()
