Maybe I'm missing something, but I've never understood why someone would buy 1 of these stand-on mowers. I've never tried 1 though

Yeah why not Sit...dont understand either

Supposedly stand on mowers are safer on hillsides. They are easier to get on and off. They are smaller and more maneuverable. Standing is supposed to be healthier for you and your back too.

dontcha know sitting is the new smoking.

you can get more on a trailer because they are a couple feet shorter.

if you have a pro crew they should have their hustle on , on and off to clear down spouts and things

mount the string trimmer on the mower hop off trim area , hop back on and go one less guy on the crew

tighter turning

they are not designed for the home owner mower , but production lawn service work

Yes, they are priced outside of my pay scale. I would love to have one.

My son uses one a lot and says they are way better than riders and you don't really get tired like you think you would. He loves it.

They have their place especially in the commercial landscaping world. Better in tight places and around shrubs, trees, etc. They hug hills and inclines better than the big zero turns will. Having used both they are a good piece of equipment and it don’t wear you out. Beats pushing a mower.

what Kieth said, way easier on hills, like all pieces of equipment they have their place and many landscapers prefer them

Nice reviews, but I will stick to a rider.

everybody has their own preference. sit down zero turns can be pretty rough riding which can put a lot of strain on your back.they are nice for big wide open areas. the standers platform is springy so you kinda float the bumps. the standers are better for residential yards. very maneuverable, easier for operator to see obstacles cause your standing. easier to get on and off of to open gates, pick up debris, etc. and they can fit in tighter places. also faster which time=money. I run a John Deere 648R stander and also have a 36" walk behind JD for getting through gates. I got a full time job but a guy can make some pretty good money mowing grass on the side. I would suggest going to several dealers and trying them all out, they always have demo units. Also watch for people trying to sell them on face space or craigslist. Both the mowers im running now I bought of CL. The 648R had 29 hours on it and I saved about $2500+tax and the walk behind was brand new never cut a blade of grass but was a couple years old and I got it for about half price. Just look around any town and seems like everybody and their brother is hauling mowers, I think some guys like the idea of it and buy brand new mowers then decide that its not for them, that's where ya can get a deal sometimes!

I know one thing about them. You don't want to hit a water shutoff standpipe.
Eating lunch one day at Burger King watching a guy whipping around mowing like crazy. He hit that thing and man he was up on top of it right now. Hands at his side holding on. His feet and legs not straight out behind him but it was close. I dang near had french fries spewed all over the place from busting out laughing.
Told the wife about it that night and she said that was terrible. I said nooo, "THAT" was funny.

Good friend of mine is a GM of a good sized lawn care company, they sold all their zero turns and went to stand ups, handle the terrain much better

Standers weigh less and are much easier on your body than a sit on. I have a Toro Grandstand 52".
