In this video, my buddy Jared with Jc Landscaping put our 2 mowers to the test. My Scag Vride 61 with a 38.5 efi kawi and his Wright 61 with a 37hp Vanguard.
Great video. Both machines look awesome. I don’t think you can go wrong with both. I like wright stander. But if i had to go with another machine it will be the scab
The idea behind the engine moving with the deck on the ZK is so that it keeps the drive belt for the deck aligned with the engine all of the time to optimize belt life. On a fixed engine design, the deck belt pulley height will be different in respect to the engine pulley….not on the same plane.
Great video, I also run Scags, VRide 1 FX801V and VRide 2 FT730V EFI 26 HP. Also love that Scag hat, any insight how I could land one of those? Thanks man
Cut quality is one of the most important things to consider but the most important is dealer support. Our Deere dealer is leagues better than any other dealer with support. If you ain’t cutting you ain’t making money!
When buying commercial mowers i always ignore the color and go with the best deal, saving thousands over the years. Very little difference between brands anymore
Well first if the grass is 6 inches high why would you cut it 2 to do the test 3 1/2 maybe it would’ve been good to was it scalping what is a very good comparison give ya that 👍
I have zero experience with John Deere. What RPM is the engine currently set to under load? It may need to be set to run at 3600rpm WOT to optimize power and cut quality? 🤔 Nice video, gents.
Very good video! You guys are very fair with the different brands.

Nothing runs like a Deere

John deere stander is a Wright painted green

Wouldn't trade my ZK for nothin. Would be interested to try a Z3X though...nice vid! 👍
The wrights are very impressive machines. Glad you like the video!
Oh Lort, just found your CZcams page. Good stuff

😬😬 thise engines were struggling. Should've raised the cut height.
Scag and Wright are one of my favorite brands but nothing is better than a Walker
Not to mention wheel holes at every turn. Butchers
