Hope it works well for you. I am not the only one that thinks it looks a little well different. Dont think I will be giving up the vantage yet. I am a exmark guy but next time around I may look at wrights. Thanks for sharing.
It's does have a little more modern look. I like the look but I am more interested in how it performs. Too early for me to tell on that yet though I did enjoy the first ride
I think a 32” stander along with a good 21” self propelled like a Honda would be a great mower arsenal for a solo guy doing the smaller residential $30-40 lawns all day.both mowers would fit on a 5 X 8 trailer easily
$30-$40? Yes, per day. More like $8-$9 per lawn. Maybe for doing 15'x30' strips of yard in the cities. 5'x8' trailer? Ha! Both mowers would fit in your glove box! But yes, it sounds like a nice set up for a youngster just getting started.
We have rather small streets here in suburban Australia so even the 7x5 trailer that we use is pushing it. Most guys around here don't go bigger than 8x5 because it simply doesn't fit. We run with a 42" zturn in the back and a 21" Honda commercial in the front beam-mounted mower box. Works great for the majority of lawns around here.
I like that you actually cut off some grass I’ve seen other videos where they do demos and don’t even cut anything off looks like a really good mower exmark makes good equipment I’ve had a few I’m running scag now vrides,cheetah and turf tiger and will not buy another one the decks are so thin I’ve got two that I’ve already had to try and fix going back to something else!!!!
Any thoughts on this mower after a few years. Looking at used stand on mowers and have some different options available in my area. This one worth picking up at a descent price used?
Looks good just dont like that now has both of the safty handels on the oder ones they got really loose and slopy very fast I would still go with the Wright Zk stand on best stand on in the market. good video
always liked exmark products! im retired now and transitioning from a small garden home where my honda mower served me well. moving to gulf shores to a 3/4 acre lot with centepede turf and will be shopping for a beefy residential mower or entry level commercial. I dont think much of the offerings at the big box stores. Maybe a gravley z-turn. what are your thoughts? very few obsticles on my new property and flat terrain in ground irrigation.
I commented on another person videos but the muffler runs under the front cover and above the deck. If you ever need to adjust that belt or something you may burn yourself unless you wait awhile for it to cool down. Not smart to put it directly above the belt.
I just got the mower so no maintenance needed yet, but I imagine I will find things I like and don't like about the setup. That seems to be true with almost all mowers. I've got to spend a lot more time with it to form my overall opinion
Different strokes for different folks but I just don't get the "stander" thing. Why stand when you can sit and accomplish the same thing with a different style mower?
I like both but personally I like the stand on mowers and the walk behinds with a sulky a lot better than a zero turn mower. Mainly because a zero turn mower is horrible on hills. That is their main disadvantage they can take hills for shit without sliding down and spinning. Stand on mowers are better at it on hills but then again I have not seen a mower out perform a walk behind on hills. to me that is the best all around mower in my personal opinion. But it all depends on the type of yards you will be cutting. But that's just my opinion on it
@@nateburnett8425 Yeah I would guess all have a certain niche that makes them stand out from others. I guess I ask that question because when I see guys on standers they're cutting where I cut with my cheetah! Thanks for the reply Nate.
@@happilyretiredmark2964 sitting no matter how good the seat will take more impact on your spine. Truck drivers are have notoriously bad backs. When your standing all day, your whole body takes absorbs the impact and feel less fatigued after a long hot day. Standers are the future of mowing.
Depends on what your cutting. Biggest thing is stand on is nice compact for residential if you need to get on off fast and around objects. On big open field yea a sitting would be better but some places you mow so fast standing makes sense.
I live in boaz, what’s the price on one of these? I’ve got an 08 lazer z hp with 600 hrs, Kawasaki. I’m thinking about getting rid of it and getting a new lazer but I really like these.
Hey Jason, what would you recommend for someone who has around 50 customers most of which have 32 inch back gates? I'm looking for the best 32 inch commercial new or used etc? Something under $3000 preferably.
Xavier Sepeda depending on the size of the backyards once you get through the gate, getting a bobcat, scag or any one of those 32” commercial walk behinds is probably your best bet. You can definitely find them used for under 3k, they’re probably around 3.5-4k new anyway! My dad used a 32” bobcat for years and it was a tank.
I got to know the Exmark reps last year through my conference so they wanted to put me on the machine this year to try it out and give feedback and exposure
Lawn Care Life They don’t even sell them in my area. Special order. Have to purchase to even get on one. I just bought my second mower. Wish i could have got some time on one before I bought. Oh well. Can’t wait to hear you opinion after being on it for 8 or ten hours a day.
I'm an exmark guy and just happened to go by my local dealer today. They had one I think a 48" e series. This dealer lives and breaths exmark. Let's just say I won't be getting one after listening to him. It does seem a little much and not at all a simple design.
@@buffalostate1 Mainly the lack of serviceablity. I have a vantage and 2 zts. I noticed myself that h.o.c adjustment on the e series is done by changing the spacers on the castor's. pull pins take out spacers on all four castor's instead of pulling a single pin. This is on the e series. Most operators look for simplicity and this design seems to be going the other way. You need to see this up close to judge it.
@@theehgroup7006 I know that. Bit why go to an adjustment system that was used 30 years ago to save money? Exmark had a huge price jump this year from what I have seen. I will be looking at other brands. It's all about volume and cost effectiveness for the the little guy. They are catering more to fleet buyers not the guy who buys one or two units a year. I have an exmark fleet myself they are good mowers but I'm in it to make money. I actually went with another brand a month ago and I'm in the process of trading out of my remaining exmarks as well. Not to mention cross reference on parts is almost non existent in some cases forcing you to use oem parts that are triple the price you can pay for other brands
My dealer said he is still getting to know the machine, but he did point out some positive changes from the vantage including the motor not being mounted to the deck, duel gas tanks, and better performance on hills. I need to put some hours on it before I can give my feedback
Sorry but I can't imagine running this multiple hours a day. The way they have you positioned on the platform looks so uncomfortable. I don't want to be forced to lean forward. The mower probably leaves a great cut but IMO exmark missed the "mark" with this one.
@@lawncarelife I've got a 2018 gravely pro stance and the way the platform is designed is it lets you lean forward into the machine if desired but it does not "force" you to lean forward. I run mine 90% of the time standing straight up. When I demoed the staris at GIE I felt like the machine was forcing me to lean into it and left me with a really uncomfortable ride. That's just my experience.
Sharp man! Can’t wait to put one in the field.
The folks at Argo Power Equipment are the best!

that would be a good setup for small lawns. I would probably prefer a 48" with a 32" for the small properties

Awesome,you just helped me decide on 1,cant wait to get it now Thanks
Glad to help
Can’t wait to see the mower on a hill . My dealer just got them in 10,000 60in
Thanks for sharing! Definitely gonna be looking for more reviews down the road when you get more time on it.
I'm looking forward to getting more time on it

Thank you
Hello I'm wanting to start a lawn care service. It's cool that you are in Alabama I'm in Tuscaloosa. So I'm all ears on starting up
Gotta love that red paint! Looking forward to your thoughts on it this year.
I hope to keep you updated on the mower
Any thoughts on this mower after a few years.

Looks good just dont like that now has both of the safty handels on the oder ones they got really loose and slopy very fast I would still go with the Wright Zk stand on best stand on in the market. good video
Looks nice. Would love to see a nice thick lawn being cut with it.
What did it cost?
I am looking forward to warmer weather so the lawns can turn nice and thick again here in the South. This model is around $10,500
an arm and a leg

The controls need to be mounted a few inches back so, you don't have to lean forward all the time.
Great mower! How's it holding up nowadays?
So far so good
Looks kind of weird, are they still making the vantage or discontinued?
L👀X good Jason,practice makes Perfect 🤓I am sure your gonna like it👍

Good stuff
Why can't anyone offer a 32" with an easy handle-adjust deck?
Interesting...........
Does that have the Kohler or the Kawasaki on it.
Kawasaki
So did u buy it? Or just demo it?

Hey Jason I thought you only did weed control?
I do but I have 5 acres at my house. I have a good relationship with Exmark and they wanted me to put the mower to work
I like to sit.
This is my first Stander. I know many people are switching to stand on mowers. It will take me some time to form an opinion
They give you knee problems using fulltime beautiful mower though.
and the sit down gives you back problems. Its a trade off. I have broken both so im screwed lol
A stand on will never stick to a hill like a rider. They have been saying they do for years. They don’t.
And a rider will never stick to a hill like a walk-behind. Everything in engineering is a compromise, nothing can ever be perfect in all applications.
You're insane
