Best & Worst lawn Mower of the Year- Husqvarna, Toro Grandstand or Wright stander z

this is going to be the ultimate mower battle or I have a wonderful electronic invention I want you to see [Music] you get into that neutral position and flings the whole unit stops you definitely playing [Music] I don't have the largest hands I'll be honest but this is really far away I think it's uncomfortable so is there anything you actually like about this more right oh it's like some companies don't want me testing out their tools in equipment I can't figure out why we have room for improvement on on this thing yes sir it does a good job of flattening the grass right if I wanted to run over it I could bring my four-wheeler out here and do just about as good of a job and have a little bit more fun sure then I could hey guys so today didn't turn out the way I expected it would I went to Detroit and I hooked up with my buddy Brian from Brian's Lawton maintenance and this guy does an amazing job of doing reviews on equipment his attention to detail is like psychic I mean I don't really know what that means but what I'm trying to say is he does a really good job and so today you're gonna get his feedback and what he really thinks this Husqvarna lawn mower and then I give it a test run and then I let Elliot give it a test run and we all kind of start to come to the same conclusion that until they improve this design maybe you should just test it out before you buy it oh hey one last thing guys before we get too far into this video I want to make sure that you guys understand that I think this is literally the prototype of the lawn mower I think it may be first gen at best so if you guys are looking at buying one of these there's a very good chance that they've modified the design and made the improvements that we're pointing out in this video if they have it well I got nothing to say if they haven't all right guys I'm here with my buddy Brian and we're looking at the Husqvarna tell me what exactly what we're looking at this is host governor's brand-new lawn mower we got the v55 for in fact they just dropped it off about a week and a half ago so we've been demoing it we got about twelve hours on it so far under our belt this is Husqvarna introduction to the stand on game so so far we've been able to use it for the last week or two like I said and quite honestly I did some things I like about it definitely some things that don't like about it I'm sure we'll get into it here on this video it's a sweet mower honestly straight up it's been fun to use the last couple days and some things I like some things I don't okay well tell me tell me about it I want to know everything about now you first off yeah let's clarify something Ellie look over here real quick this is the type of stuff you're going with it right right okay we got Kentucky bluegrass there's a couple inches what Brian doesn't know is I'm gonna do something you typically wouldn't do with it before we get into what I plan on doing with this I actually want to know your experience using it in a professional environment just mow and day-to-day taking it out on commercial site sure and I'm sorry guys it's super windy out I mean it's hopefully you guys can hear us okay we don't have Mike soul level ears right right right so um I am not too familiar with stand on units most you guys know I'm an expert guy I use lasers II sit down lawn mowers but we've been demoing a lot of stand on units on my channel lately Eddie's old school old school brothers you know but the stand ons are awesome I'm in the market for one in the next 12 months so I've been having a lot of companies demo them to me so I can see what I'm gonna pull the trigger out here probably this fall or next spring so this is the second more that I've used so far as a demo this one's from husqvarna this is a 21st 25 horsepower engine 54 inch - cutting deck I think 10 or 12 CC pumps on the floor ESCO safety specs I got if somebody blast me for my safety those the wall these are I don't know who are these these are the wall so I got I got cheeto crumbs all over maybe wow oh my god did we just become best friends whoa scag Husqvarna we got the rest coming down so if people want to watch on our Channel that's what do you get coming down next on tour Oh once inside the grandstand we've got the ferris is coming down we've guns uh what just everybody I'm trying to think everybody else out my head but all we want to you know show off what they got okay standards are really popular a lot of you guys are tearing them up so they're great units what do you like about this one okay stand on units totally different than sit down right I like the visibility I'm gonna shoot you like just shoot it straight really quick I like being able to see in front of where I'm at when you're sitting down I can't see what's going on in front of my deck right the second thing is that I like being able to get on and off the mower really easily I picked up more trash in the last two weeks and I did probably 2017 because we do that debate you know to me like am I gonna go pick up that newspaper honestly no we're not so we're gonna run over it's about a gradable right just kidding a lot of my customers we pick up all the trash um there's certain things that like certain things that don't like with this unit was that funny I tell you man I pick up trash you guys know that debate man we think you get the little grabber claw and your rider but I'm just so I using it so the program stems come with a garbage bag for a little bit option is over $1 yeah there's an app Toro so everything you get anything you want you wanna pay for I like some things in this unit some things I definitely don't like I feel like this one specifically has one too many levers over here right so you got your break right here right so when I'm in a panic if I'm going over a Boulevard right I'm I don't want to sculpt a lawn I have no idea super quick which one to grab there's too much going on this right here is your deck release that sounds cool looks cool but to sleep that is completely unnecessary in my opinion I'm gonna slam it but I got to bring it back up I'd rather just be one button on top point number 2 this lever is about 8 inches too tall it needs to be down here if I'm going under a tree I'm gonna snag a branch we're gonna jackknife you know how it goes not safe play number three in this brake lever the safety for the wheels needs to be on the other side there's no reason I want to get confused with 2 or 3 levers to choose from they should not be on this side I want the brake lever on this side so it's completely isolated completely separate right I like how picky is no I did we use this stuff all day if you want to show another point here you got the throttle on top when I have my safety because this has a platform right we don't have this safety in the platform if the safety on top now I'm gonna slam this in a second because I don't like this at all but another issue is that when I have this on which we need to make them more work I have to move my arm over here to move the throttle up and down I'm not going to do this this is completely backwards it's not intuitive if I don't have trouble with it as a veteran I know new people are and that's a big safety issue so no boy I know on that as well we're gonna talk about the cut quality of this machine in just a few moments but before we do that I actually want to demonstrate exactly what he's talking about with this safety lever and the automatic shutoff it's not intuitive it's kind of wonky and I'll tell you straight up after using it it really makes you appreciate any other lawn mower that doesn't have it okay I'm not a fan of that right there I'm not a fan of that at all I mean I think that that's that is kind of wonky I mean without even saying anything you were watching and you were saying oh you'd have to cut this like three four times to hopefully get it smoothly we went over it twice it didn't really get much better no but also what I'm not a fan of is the release on the handgrip yeah I saw you take your hand off the whole mortgage guy yeah they kill and imagine turning so when you're turning you got some G's pulling you you get into that neutral position and it flings the whole unit stops you definitely fling so Elliott wanted to run the Machine but being the safety chief I am I make them put on so his ear protection let's see how that goes [Music] another thing I don't like the safety in the handle I'm going three four or five miles an hour I bring it back to that neutral position yeah that's an easy opportunity for me to get Jaclyn up off the low more gap I'd rather not have the ability to flip up the platform and to walk in to have the safety in the platform and to get rid of this potential safety benefit but really it's a hindrance if you think about it in my menu so make success here [Music] you know one thing to point out I've noticed that not a lot of companies reach out to me to do reviews on their products unless they are 100% confident in the products that they want me to review for them anything that seems to be marginal or even slightly room for improvement they go to somebody else and when they think they picked Brian I think they picked the wrong guy Brian is a straight shooter and if you guys haven't checked out his channel make sure you go over there because he's going to be reviewing all of these different stand-down riding lawn mowers and helping you guys decide which one is best for you so go over to Brian's Channel and check him out [Music] [Music] these are probably the best review of this that I've heard yet well Dana I love how you were straight to the point yeah not cut not holding anything back not saying saying anything yeah no thank you for that somebody some other stuff that it sounds good a paper like we're ninja when you're an engineer right like you always talk about this it sounds good on paper when you put it in the real world it's completely backwards you know guys like me we're not thinking three levers if I'm gonna sculpt a lawn on a Boulevard I want to pull one handle real quick I got a millisecond and I don't want to get mixed up right right if you want to look inside here this got a lot of people talking inside here it makes sense but unfortunately it's a little too tight first off the battery is completely backwards and I want to jump this I cannot get jumper cables in there it's impossible like you have to like almost come from the side we're looking at that it's really really tough to do another thing looking at the dipstick if you guys look at it if I bring it all the way up it's almost inaccessible so I have to almost bend it flex it where am i sneaking this out from I get compact [Music] kinda came to the conclusion that I don't think all engineers that build equipment actually run the equipment especially on this lawn more so you let me know what you guys think [Applause] [Music] [Music] it makes sense to have the weight distribution back here for safety right more stability on Hills right but what I've noticed personally is that if I can't get access to something and it's not easy to do ie maintenance what are we gonna do we're gonna forego make nora and that the and the problem is is yep and that's what that's saying a lot it's the owner operator saying I'm not gonna probably be doing the maintenance when you put this in the hands of the crew member that don't have to pay the bills yep exactly sounds good on paper if you want to see here's the oil filter down here not necessarily something this later it's bad but when you drain it here's the avada the drain plug where am I going with this I have to filter all the way down through the put the bottom and that's just again there's too much going on in there it's okay it's not bad why couldn't they have just spun it around to the front I don't see why they couldn't have the dipstick right here Kelly we grabbed this camera I mean is there any reason why they couldn't have the fill tube right here so you can just boom it's automatic that's like you almost your eye is drawn to it right so that you've got to take care of it I mean I like to pick the peak but the air filter is right here but again how is the access on this air filter it's tight I'd like the weigh-in more as an engineer but I'm I'm gonna okay so that's not that's not bad I mean you can get at that okay right I don't know but this long of it some of the stuff just seems a little tucked away in their most mowers it's reversed if you guys are interested in lawn mowers I want you to go follow his channel because he's the one that's gonna be going through all of these different mowers head-to-head and comparing them to me and giving all laying out all the data yeah and you're the only one that I know of doing this well I'll tell you straight up I appreciate the shout out because here's the deal I'm gonna be dropping six to nine grand of my own money here by fall so I'm just like you guys out there like I'd love to say that all of us fancy youtubers get paid a lot and you know we're getting all this stuff sent to us but the reality is I put my own money in the game so if I'm dropping my own cash that's why all the demos when I did the test for the right more I had that for the entire season and I'll tell you straight up I learned more on a month two three and four than I ever knew on week two three or four [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] we have not ever this year been able to get a molar through that that thing didn't even bond it didn't even bog down I know on a person took me that long so that I so that when I did that review I could actually go this is what I know right right after a couple of oil changes and getting your feet wet different seasons and breaking stuff absolutely I went in and I even said hey I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna beat the crap out of us more and and Edie writes to say I said yep well I would love me to test off the right how did you light the right it was pretty cool more that was a good mole that's you i've ever had in comments they say they're suing mower why can I add one thing really quick yeah so check this out world's gonna be greatly ambassadors coming up into this summer so who's gonna give us a unit to demo for a long term so we're gonna have the gravely unit on there as well and we're gonna run that probably bout 100 hours this summer so that's another one where thanks a good one to take exactly I can weigh in on that pro stance because we're gonna have it for the next you know six to nine months whatever it is going through the rest of the sea-mist season if that makes sense a guy's so better weaker I always say 100 plus ones a week but it's about 175 lawns well most people see through the camera is about 1% so when I get mowers and units like this or any other tool I will definitely find the kinks within the first week if not the first month like you resent because we we're not actors man I put this stuff to work I mean I'm sweaty greasy we've been working all day so I was able to pick this apart in the first week no problem because we're using it and so that's what I want to do I want to be a resource for you guys especially on my channel that if you're into this kind of stuff for hand tools and equipment that you can come there get honest feedback so is there anything you actually like about this more Brian yeah the compartment up here it makes sense phone keys it's a little thing but it's a little big thing okay there's always stuff that we got to put in there radios cell phones wallet right honestly Husqvarna they've been one of the nicest companies to work with straight-up great customer service good people that goes a long way yeah good dealer network so if that's a fact I'm actually listening yep then I would expect to see that this units probably going to be modified yes for future reference 100% you know that's a great point because here's the deal this mowers only been out since gie last fall okay so you feedback from guys like me and guys like you leave comments down below the guys that corporate read this stuff and they really appreciate the feedback so if there's something you guys like or don't like they can double down or get rid of it in the future so so are you gonna let me you want to go test it out okay I don't have any waivers so sorry Husqvarna it's on the turbo keys dog clock now give me like give me my quick lesson all right remember you got money and I want to here's your future parking brake right here again here's the hassle in my opinion you have to keep this lever down this is your safety so just go slow with that upfront he does grandstanding he's also a [Music] [Music] this is how you drop your debt hold on time out check this out right there if you have to get off the mower if you have to grab something you have to take your left hand off that safety anything you touch and you on the mower [Music] [Music] we have room for improvement on on this thing yes or that does a good job of flattening the grass right if I wanted to run over it I could bring my four-wheeler on just about as good of a job and have a little bit more fun sure that I could do it with it my Toro wouldn't do that it's all I'm saying really no oh well there's one point in this video where I open my big mouth and they say well my Toro wouldn't do that and well the truth is I actually don't know if my Toro would do better or not so the only way I can prove it would diffic going some tall grass and try it out [Music] okay I can tell you straight up pass to with the Toro looks good to me way better than two passes on that who's Govardhan I'll give you that much but we're not done yet [Music] pass number three call what you want I don't care either way I still like my Toro better doesn't have the whomped out control pattern that that husky had Husqvarna [Music] [Music] [Music] I left the largest hands I'll be honest but this is really far away I think it's uncomfortable took I can't get a good grip on it and this was it dying like that yeah I can't get this down get this up and then reposition my hands to get them where I want without it so what happens if you want to pick you knows instance you'll notice I have not used a green thing except one all right you'll notice when you get it yeah same safety you let go still runs not one the decks on okay but if you shut the back off and actually if I remember correctly if you had the deck on you let go the deck just shuts off like so it's a PTO safety right more safety [Music] alright guys if you're interested in more lawnmower review videos I'm going to highly suggest you go over to Brian's Channel and check him out because he's going to be doing reviews hit he's already started but he's going to continue to do them all summer long this is a guy that cuts to the chase that's the kind of review that I like and I figure you guys would like as well and let me know what you guys think of today's review do you like reviews like this I know it's a little bit longer 25 minutes or so hopefully I didn't bore you guys too much let me know do I make my videos longer or shorter is this okay I need to hear from you because you know what I read everything you guys say and with that I'm going to say go check out Brian's channel and I hope you guys have a wonderful awesome day god bless you guys go get them
