Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
I really like it , workmanship is spot on . It is not cheap but will last with the amount of mowing you are doing. A Ferris is what I would consider especially a commercial model. Also depends on dealers , I have a great dealer only six miles away .MacLaren wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 2:55 pmWow.....thats what I'm talkin about!!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 11:35 amWright is known for stand up commercial mowers and branched out to zero turns .

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
I don’t cut grass for a living, I work in a large collision center. Probably 8 years ago I bought a 40” Toro belt drive walk behind, it really opened my eyes to what a commercial mower can do, this Wright Stander is on a whole nuther level! I completely understand why the landscapers spend the big money on these units…..pure efficiency, these are money makers!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 6:48 pmNice set up !

Is it overkill for my property, probably? I bought it strictly for trying to save my left knee from having replacement surgery….or at least that was the hard sell I gave my wife!

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
I totally understand , my wife gets nervous even when I go to get string for our Stihl weed eater ! She is a landscaper and her company does business with where we get equipment for yardwork so they know her and spoil her . Hope your knee is doing well .

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
Looking nice buddy ,Love to see it finished!
Still amazes me everytime i see pictures of you're backyard! Looking at the size of that crane i guess the part you are pouring alone is roughly the same size as my and at least half of the houses here in Belgiums there entire back yard. ( not counting my driveway )

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
Poured 14 yards this morning . Already have forms off and sprayed sealer . Hopefully they will do cuts and do a little back filling tomorrow . Fingers crossed , left Ferris in garage but Polaris is out . We have rain coming Thursday . I definitely need to mow . They saved some white rock off drive and took in back for another project . I will post pics when I start .
