GIANT 144" Mower DOMINATES The Landscape! [**MUST SEE**]

- čas přidán 31. 08. 2023
- Today, I'm linking up with Joe South of PED to take a quick look at the new Exmark 144" Lazer Z lawn mower. This massive diesel-powered zero-turn can mow up to 11 acres per hour and has a small enough footprint to fit inside an enclosed trailer!
For some of you guys that have giant HOA properties, municipal parks and rec areas, this one is for you. The productivity of this machine has no comparison, even with the hefty price tag north of $80k!
Not sponsored, just Joe and I having fun at our 3.5-acre property and mowing some lawns on a weekday. I love it! Thanks for the demo, Joe, and thank you for watching y'all!

Thank you for the support! And as always, thank you for watching.
11 acers an hour that mower an't no joke
Sure beats a 60” 😂😂
@@BriansLawnMaintenance it sure does 😂
For $80k this thing should be coming with a climate controlled cab
$20k and we can get you setup! Jk lol
😂word
They are now available on 72 inch Ferris, John Deere and Kabota, gas and diesel lawnmowers and they’re planning on expanding the line to cover more extreme duty. Zero turns so there’s a good chance they’ll come out with one for ex Mark.
Yea your ignorant if you pay that much for a grass cutter, my house both my cars an seven acres of land didn’t cost that much, some people can’t see the forest cause the damn trees, that’s why this stuff keeps going up cause people like you pay it
Still a hard sale when the 72" is around 15k. Even with extra operating cost you are still coming out way ahead with 2x 72" based on a 2000 hr. analysis. Plus you have more manpower for other projects and aren't dead in the water is a mower goes down. I guess it would be more enticing if I had a contract to cut central park.
My duramax truck didn’t even cost 80k.
That thing is a beast. Couldn't imagine driving two and a half 60 inch mowers at once.
You’re not kidding!
I can see myself using it, I can also see my bank laughing at me. I'm getting a new 50in in the next few days.
Hey I know that guy lol. He showed up on the jobsite when I was having issues with my new eXmark. Fixed my problem and gave me some merch!
I will say, this is the first video I’ve seen where a beast is actually cutting grass. Does a great job from what I can see.
I run Exmark at work (72in) , there's a Toro set up like this and what I've noticed from this is yes the discharge seems better but the lines it leaves is just as godawful as the Toro. yes it saves time but if you are cutting for presentation I just couldn't see this as an option.
$83k did I hear that right? Three 60” mowers are about 1/2 that cost. Where is all the money?
The money is in the ceo's boat payment. Thats where it is.
What a beast of a machine!!😱👏🏾😀
We had something a bit like this at the Municipality I used to work for it was a 192'' Toro Groundsmaster, it has a 95HP turbocharged diesel engine, it was an absolute beast
Wow! 6 figures probably?
@@BriansLawnMaintenance Just about!
I used to love running the 96 at my old job doing athletic feilds and big schools and commercial properties
Wow.... I would love to try one of those out .
Gotta love Joe South!
Oh man now this would be ideal for your office area Brian
love the UP mention!
I'd love show up with that on my small yards just record the customer reaction.
The price tag just didn't make sense. 72" $20k, 144" $83k. I could see $40k but that's the 96". Love that you are impressed with discharge ability. How was cut quality compared to a 60" Lazer?
Great video
Thanks!
Where was this beast when I used to work for Maintenance Engineers mowing Castle AFB and the adjacent Air Museum and Park in California would've made quick work of the Parade Deck and along the flightline which is roughly 1730 acres and 3200 acres overall. The Parade Deck was a PITA it had to be perfect every time we cut it no clumps and with perfect striping. But $80k Yikes That is twice the cost of my home here in Texas !!!
where the fk did my life savings go sorry mum it went on the mower
$83k loool. Given a 1500€ JD is around €3k in France, WERE this available here that’s going well over €100k. Doesn’t Hustler have a 122”? I think they’re around €25K, could get 3 of them and have change left over.
$80,000 Get Real!! Lol Commercial mowers are becoming unreachable for many. Prices are out of control!
1 question 🤔 can you still use mower with 1 side up for smaller areas or only with all three down?
Has to be all three down.
We love our 144, in Derry NH
How many hours so far?! That’s awesome!
Around 50, awesome machine very smooth! We still use our Jacobson that mows 14ft a pass to keep the hours down on the 144.
thats a big mower sheesh
It’s wild how you have to keep an eye on your lanes when you have 5-6’ hanging off each side of you!
Man I would love to have a 72 inch EXmark zero turn
I would like to own one some day. You could make a lot of money with a machine that big.
I have a 72 “ laser Z. And I LOVE it! But the cut, at least on this video is not impressive. I prefer a seamless appearance. Is the cut even???
Basically it’s designed for large institutions ie college grounds and government institutions parks and recreation areas. The big question is the cost of a contractor to transport that size machine from job site to job site. You will have to limit the equipment you carry in order to fit the machine in your current trailer unless you decide to invest into a trailer to specifically carry the machine of that size. It all comes down to the numbers and do you have the work to keep the machine busy in order to receive your return on investment.
Yup, I used something like this when I worked for a local municipality, highly doubt many private landscaping companies will be using these all that much
@@Alex.AL_26 Exactly spot on! Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice machine but for contractors I don’t think it’s economically feasible, we ran Jacobson Mowers of that size which were nice machines when I was employed by Oakland County Government back in the 1980’s and those were in the $40 to $50 thousand dollar price range at that time and were front/side mounted mowers and completely incompatible to transport from job site to job site.
Hey Brian, Do you ever do anything with the Bad boy brand?
This thing is awesome, I just bought the exact opposite from weingartz, exmark 42 inch for my house 😂
No turbo crap... thanks. Like engines to actually last. Also turbos are not cheap.
It's a diesel. Why wouldn't it last?
Hey man is the new exmark a diesel or gas mower that is coming out next year
He's been sworn to secrecy. He mentioned that in a previous video.
Gas lol but how big, I cannot say!! 🤐
At 44 horsepower with a yammer diesel that should have an amazing amount of torque which is something he didn't talk about and I wish he did. Diesel and torque go together. Real nice mower.
Hey Brian I'm Brendon Exmark Lazer Z 144 each blade is 24" cause 24x6 is 144 20 degrees up and 15 degrees down 17 mph you're on to the next property or trailer 12' cut 43.5hp Yanmar diesel engine 48" center deck with two 48" wing decks and clean your screen so she can breathe
Obviously it's about putting down the acres but can you imagine if it actually striped too??
Man that would be wild. I always wondered why not just power 3 cutting decks with 3 engines. I’m sure some mad scientists have ran the numbers but 3 ultra cut decks would be wild!
My yard would take 5 min joe!
Wouldn’t even fit between most houses here lol. One pass across the fronts is all it would take.
Newer to exmarks. I got a 30 inch walk behind this year and couldn't be any unhappier w/ it. I've had to take it to the dealer multiple times having under 100 hours or less any they're even giving me trouble even though I bought the thing from them. Also it's very unfunctional w/ the height setting. I'm hesitant about them now idk
Sorry to hear that, that sounds strange and unusual. What engine do you have on it? I’d reach out to their customer service team and see what they can do for you. Sorry to hear that.
I wish we could’ve heard more of the machine less music. I don’t know it’s just an impressive machine. I like to hear it work
Hey Brain's lawn maintenance. Great video man keep up the good work. Can you make a video about how to market and advertising your landscaping lawn care business. Thanks Dude! I also like your videos and I am new to your channel. So welcome me in here please. Much appreciated.
Wow, that makes my 48 inch exmark look weak. I could do my yard in 10 minutes if that!
Looks sweet, but 80k 😮
I love these but it seems.
1. Zero turn seems redundant
2. Size of tires vs weight of machine?
3. Spending 80k on a sole mower vs. A used tractor and wide width mower & a nice snow blade cost the same.
I think the biggest benefit is storage/ability to float more of them. But you put 3 of these, you’d want to be cutting 1000 acres of grass in a week.
Hi Brian - come to my genre for a second. Simple word - Sony Zv-E1 and 10-20 lens. Use in Dynamic Stabilization and it will be your new daily driver mower, I mean vlogging setup lol. Just dropping an info bomb on you rather than doing a sales pitch :) If it's unwanted just ignore it, in fact I will delete this in a day :) Just saying something cause I care :)
We have an R6 and 15-35, I love it! What suggestions for switching or picking up the Sony? Always open to hearing your thoughts, thanks mate!
You are a really nice and cool guy. I have had the R6 here (16mm is one f my favorite lenses) so I am intimately familiar with the camera. I just did a video in the past month on my channel as to why it is still one of the better buys out there even with the Mark II being out there. Now that I know what you are shooting I recognize what I was seeing.
You video on this awesome mower was very intriguing and I got caught in my own trap when I normally reject the warbling that Canon introduces on the wider lenses. In the first few minutes when there was 2 talking heads in frame and you panned slightly the stabilizer in the camera did it's thing and it was distracting. Mine does the same thing lol.
So you DO have one of the best choices out there :) I have recommended that camera to to 3 carpet cleaners, one landscaper, and a bunch of people entering the content creator arena. It's just a very solid good camera. The question I get on my channel is not that eternal "what is the meaning of life" question, but the "what camera do I buy" question.
There is a new camera that has caught my eye and I will be bringing aboard and it is the one I rudely spewed out at you (I apologize for that, people mostly don't pay attention to what I tell them even though they want advice). The unique thing is you ARE one of the people I watch consistently just because you have a kind personality, you give attention to kids, and it's so opposite to what I do I just relax when watching.
So in a more adult approach, I'll point out that the specific camera I mentioned is just about the only "giant step forward" any camera company has done in a very long time. One of my online jokes is when I like a camera I will say something like "it's a great camera, the only thing wrong with it is it doesn't say "Canon" on it :) I'm a Canon fan boy lol.
The only camera out there (sorry to talk your ear off) that would actually make your final videos take a step up is this specific (not just any Sony camera, I don't even care for Sony all that much) one camera. If you want to have a conversation about it, I don't want to write a book. Email me at petergreggonline@aol.com
I can share about that camera, and if you don't know how to use the FV mode on the R6 - let's just say it's magical. It'll take your camera and your experience with that camera to whole new level of operation and I'll teach you how to use that :) Thanks for answering my comment, I figured it would just fly off into oblivion. I'm going "live" in an hour on my other channel so I have to go. Your channel is awesome, and the reason is you! Keep it rolling :) Later gator 🐊
That’s a hard sell for $80k. You could buy a tractor and 2 pto mowers for less. Or even 2 pull behind mowers for 10k. Can’t imagine the bill for maintenance either.
Yeah but you gotta run the math and think about fleet discount, you could get a Lazer Z E, it can almost pay for it there. Also, still need labor for a tractor and 2 mowers. Labor elimination is the real benefit here.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance I get it and I have ran the numbers. The same guy would still have to run that machine or be in the tractor. I just priced a 40HP tractor with a cab plus 2 pto mowers that would cover the same ground for 40k. Then you would have a tractor that could do a number of jobs, with ac. That’s half the cost man. Not trying to be difficult here just providing data.
@@jaimeg9058 You are 100% correct. No way to defend this Nonsense
@@T_81535 I’m interested in what you mean by “won’t touch” the 144. If you’re just cutting acres then quality isn’t as important as long as it gets maintained. It’s not like a house in town where a 10 x 10 area would make up a large portion of a residential lawn. For 40k, I’ll take a tractor that can do multiple jobs including mowing.
@@T_81535 I understand that, the question is if that is worth 83,000 to you.
9:05 The deck is not a step!!!
When I had my lawn service years ago I got tired of the blurr of mowing 8+ lawns a day so I transitioned to just bigger lawns 1/2 acres and bigger. I remember taking phone calls from people, asking how big the lawn was and after they answered with 5000 square feet I said I specialized in doing lawns 1/2 acres and larger. Some people replied with “you can’t do that” and I replied with oh yes I can, other businesses specialize some repair shops specialize in working on just foreign cars. Another caller accused me of discrimination and I said no I can do this and it’s not discrimination.
TY! Math is certainly not your strong point!
No way this mower is worth 83 grand. It probably only cost 7 grand or less to build it. Someone is trying to make a killer profit
18 passes on your property
$80000 😂😂😂
That is not 3 1/2 acres of what he just mowed lol
Actually we mowed all 3 that day, but only the front and back acre made it in this video. Didn’t want to get too close to the house and new construction areas. Thanks!
It’s a great idea, but for the average lawn crew, it wouldn’t be practical, and $80,000; I won’t be able to afford that until I am at least 21
Not aimed at the average lawn crew. This would be perfect for a city with a large Rec complex. This is purely for efficiency. You remove one or two people and you've paid for the mower.
I’d rather have a 70 hp cab tractor or skid steer than that thing.
@@T_81535 I’m a groundskeeper lol
@@T_81535 agreed. I’m saying if it were my money I’d spend the money that exmark costs on something more versatile or usable. You could buy 5 full commercial zero turns for the cost of that. I mow 50 acres a week. If I had the choice between air condition and out in the sun on a more expensive machine, I’d pick the cab. I’m definitely not saying they’re comparable on cut quality.
@@T_81535 yeah. Too expensive.
Such bs on these prices. The Toro is 90k. Stupid.
