I've used Great Danes and Wrights Stander and the truth is they are both awesome. They blow walkbehind's away. Yet still WB's everywhere and not many standers Why?

Small tight props.Mowingman said:I believe the main reason they will never be big sellers, is cost. Heck, you can buy a nice sit-down ZTR for the same price, or less, than a comparable stand-up machine. Why stand all day, when you can sit down.
Where is the market for these things? I just do not see it. Ok, they are supposed to handle hills better than a ZTR, but give me another reason for buying one. I really want to know the reason someone would buy a stand-up machine, because I sure can not figure it out.
The stand ons are 55 to 60" long. They do turn on a dime But i to like a good sulky and walk behind. Mid-mounts dont go under things ether, Walk behinds do.Mowingman said:John. There are unmerous small ZTr's that will do those kind of properties, and they are no more expensive than the stand-up machines. Stand-up machines leave a huge area to trim in 90 degree corners. A small front-deck machine will actually do a better job on tight areas with inside corners to trim out, than either a stander or a midmount ZTR.
You have not convinced me, give me another reason.
