How many hours do you have on one?

I've talked to the guy in Bradley IL. I'm interested in getting a hydro walk behind, they're like $3500 for the 36" which is what i'm looking at.

They save on things like deck and frame steel, it's all designed here in the US but they are shipped from China. Hydro's are your standar hydrogear and there's a couple engine options, all are good.

I love seeing companies making these things for a reasonable price. Wright, JD, Scag, Toro, they all charge an absurd amount for their walk behinds or ride ons.

 

i know, 7000+ for there 36"-40" stander's

 

I just bought a 48" Bradley stand on. From what I can see it looks really well built. At the moment I'm having starting problems with it. Bradley is being very supportive to me. It's at a local Briggs and Statton dealer right now. I'll post about the outcome.
For the money it's a great bargain. From the reviews and several YouTube videos I've seen, it cuts well and leaves nice stripes!!!!

 

brand's like radley,spartan, and bobcat have a little more price sensebility

 

bradly sorry

 

yeah, just give the stander some time, once you get a good 25 or so hour's on it, you will start to see it's true colores

 

Hopefully after 25 hours I will have made a lot of my $$$ back

 

at least we can all agree on there customer service

 

UNBEATABLE

 

for future knowledge, lawnpro@home, you can just edit your post rather than make 5 posts in a row that are 1 sentence, lol.

 

lol your right thank's
also, i can almost garantee you gettin lot's of $$$

 

I have the Bradley 36" Hydro Walk Behind. All in all, a good value for the money. It has its short comings. To me, that mostly seems to be the cut quality. I may be too picky, but I have just come to terms with the fact I will have to double cut everything to get it close to perfect. My basis for comparison is the JD 7 Iron deck and the SFS and Turbo Force decks on Toro Prolines. I thought those mowers cut significantly better. I also will probably never buy another fixed deck mower if I can afford to avoid it. My Bradley has been reliable for 2 seasons now though. Probably have about a couple hundred hours on it with just oil changes. I have had to replace a spacer, which I dropped and it rolled down a storm drain, and I have added the mulch blades and plate. My experience with their customer service has been excellent so far. My mower is a beast with the 23hp engine. I have cut grass over 3 feet tall with it and it barely even bogged down. It also stripes okay on one pass and well after a second pass. It has been perfect for fitting into all my clients gates. Has been a good mower overall to get me to the next one, which will be a stander with a wider cut and faster forward speed. I am hoping the cut on the next machine will be much improved and I will look at Bradley for sure again for that, since the standers have floating decks with what looks like a better design underneath. I will also keep my 36" Bradley for small gates and eventually as a backup to a 36" stander. Excellent mower for someone getting started.
