got a staris right now, and i think that the vertex is pretty good but i dont like how the engine sits on top of the deck, unless its still a floatng deck.
I have a 61” scag V ride 2 and it corrects some of the short comings of the vertex. I’m very happy with it, in my opinion it’s as good or better than the vertex. But I’ve never driven a vertex either.
Small tires, not enough horses, no articulating front end, small cheap spring platform, smaller gas can, old decks struggle w wet grass, no sides on pad for hills, plastic spindle covers instead of steel, ill take ferris z3x for same price all day😎 lVanguard 37 horsepower with oil guard system is the BEST! Grassflap is best shoot blocker. Foot pedal and flips all the way up and can feather it while still mowing. Qwickchute is great too
if they come out with an X series it wll most likely be a wright ZK with red pain and an ultracut deck, like how the S series is a wright stander x. the X series will also probably be 20 grand XD i fel exmark is taking advantage of the hype on the vertex and seriously overpricing the machine. im sure its a solid mower bt you would get better bang for your buck if you went with a wright stander or scag vride etc. hopefully they chill with the MSRPs soon. not just exmark either everything went up considerably after covid.
On the vertex great looking mower,I think I should get one. How much it cost is it I’ll guess around 3 4 something like that maybe. Not 5 I wood not think o well just guessing. Thanks for showing telling see ya next time see ya bye.
That FX730V at 23.5hp is the same engine Scag came out with for the 52" deck V-Rides over 10 years ago, and Scag never offered anything that wasn't bigger than that on a 61. Whether it's enough power or not, it's not competitive, especially for the price. Will be very interesting to see what bigger HP options Exmark comes out with later.
Great job showing and telling, so how much for the mower stand on S series. Thanks again for showing telling great job see ya on the next video have a great day see ya bye.
I’ve ran Kawasaki engines and I just purchased the Scag Vride 52 inch deck with the 37 hp vanguard. The 37 hp vanguard is surprisingly fuel efficient and uses just over 1 gallon per hour. Usually between 1.1-1.25 depending on conditions. I have a fr651 Kawasaki with 21.5 hp that uses just over 1 gallon per hour just like the 37 hp vanguard. I have driven a mower with the fx730 23.5 Kawasaki and it also uses just over a gallon an hour. The vanguard is totally worth getting on any mower and is basically as fuel efficient as the carbonated Kawasaki. I might add that I have a John Deere 960m with a 31 hp Kawasaki fx921 with 31 hp. It uses almost 2 gallons per hour! Kawasaki’s are pretty thirsty from my experience.
@@jadonnoble5621 there isnt a way to make 37 HP with the same fuel volume that you make 20-something hp unless youre burning a different fuel. EFI is one thing but this would require direct injection, VVT, and a list of other technology and it still wouldnt be that similar. Physically impossible. They burn much more fuel than a properly tuned and running carb'd engine rated in the low 20's
Hey bryan lawn maintenance a nother great and awesome videos on your channel u put out the best mowing content because your video is helping my own lawn care business grow u definitely my favorite RUclipsr for a while now keep up the great work on your channel
Nice looking machine but Exmark is a little pricey for me. I'll stick with Scag V-ride 2's. 61 in with 38 kawasaki only around 11K and have 24 in tires.
We had 20 hours on this review. The maintenance intervals for those aren’t until 100 hours and 250+ hours for the air filter. We’ll weigh in those when the time comes
Hi Brian ! What would be a fear price to bid on a spring clean up? I am a solo operator it will take a full 9 hrs. The Challenges for the job is that the customer has and existing swimming pool in the middle of their back yard . And the clean out is mainly needed along a fenced area which has a large set of evergreen trees that I will need be creative in pulling the debris out of it. Please let me know any of your ideas. Appreciated!!!
Honestly loving my vertex so far as I've put 80 hours on it. Only complaint is hopping curbs like you said and sometimes the button to adjust the deck gets hard to push with just one hand. Got the only one here in Louisville though lol
I have the exact same Vertex and have 30 hours on mine so far. Overall I love it, cut quality is top notch Exmark. I am having the same issues with getting up curbs though, have scraped up the platform support bar already. Making sure the tires are fully aired helped some. Are you having any issues with the belt rubbing on the deck? My belt rubs in 3 different as it has allot of flex to it while the PTO is on. Was thinking something might be off with the tensioner setup.
Exmark is my go to brand simply because the dealers close to me, but i recently bought a john deere 60” with 31 hp kawasaki because I couldn’t get a new lazer until after july. And so far i like my john deere a bit better.
Another great video as usual. Brian I hv a question or two. Can you tell me or us what fuel do you guys use in blowers and weed eaters. Or even do a quick video. Thanks in advance
Non ethanol with shindawa red armor is what they use. I run all Stihl blowers/ trimmers and use there oil with some seefoam Added occasionally. Never any issues for me.
Everything about that mower looks good but nothing about makes it a $12,000 mower. It's honestly a Wright in red paint. I'd rather have the Wright in yellow.
@@yardking9075 dude if you said John Deere is the best mower on the market; you must be new to the mowing world. They are junk dog. Toro, exmark and scag rule the Market and have for a very long time
@@yardking9075 fair enough. I’m from up North in Maryland. Up here it’s mostly fescue. Ex mark and Toro kick ass. I had 2 JD walk behinds a few years ago. Good machines. But for our grass, I like my toro and Ex mark mowers better
@@BriansLawnMaintenance that’s laughable and you know it. This was a blatant rip off of Ed’s own patents. I think what you meant was “ same as a wright, but with an ultra cut deck” Cmon man. You know better.
So the new exmark and the other new stander mowers are designed 100% around the wright stander because wright does not have the patent anymore on the design of where the operator stands directly in between the wheels.
They all do / are. It’s like the bicycle, when you find what works it’ll be the standard. And that’s what they found with putting the operator between the axles.
My dealer has one in a 60. I looked at it. I liked it, other than the deck lift, it felt really heavy and clunky. Maybe it was just me. Not a deal breaker.
Would you say this is a good starter mower I’m looking to getting yawn care and can make up my mind on what mower I have an exmark and scag dealer close by any thoughts would help
Thanks for the advice Brian keep up the great videos I look forward to each and everyone that comes out they help me better understand the lawn care business and what I’m looking to get into a great job

So for the last year I’ve been thinking about getting a brand-new Exmark Stand on mower but I’ve also been looking at scag Kubota wright But now I have changed my mind I have recently fallen in love with Spartan and I can’t believe you have not done a spartan video I’m going to wait on a purchase of a new stander until I see you do a video on Spartan!! I’ve seen one other popular influencer do Spartan But I’m not sold on him but I am on Spartan
I ordered 2 60" Vertex's with the Kohler engines, mainly because gas is on the up and up. I ordered them back during the first week of January and still have yet to get them. Maybe you know something my dealer doesn't but I feel like they aren't producing this particular combo yet, wild guess. I have yet to see one online, Facebook, Instagram, etc. with a Kohler engine!! I also ordered mine from Birkey's Farm Store and they have 16 other stores in Illinois, so they're not a mom and pop shop. Anyways, I'll live vicariously through you and your videos until I get mine, love the videos brother!!!
If I would of went with 2 60's with the Kawasaki engines, I would of had those mowers back in late March. So I don't know what deal is with Kohler. I'm assuming there is a hangup with Kohler engine production.
Bring it down to Florida and you will see some bogging down. I have to run mulch kits for precision mowing with no clippings . You have to have 30 hp plus especially for a 60
@@BriansLawnMaintenance but that’s just my opinion of my experience. Thanks Brian for your reviews. There great for serious professionals that are particular about there work
Super short looks like 3”-3.25. I would never mow anything that short but we mainly do lawn applications for healthy turf you want taller blades for healthier roots.
@@ronyoder6328 yeah here in Missouri we have had so much rain and thunderstorms in a day or two mine is long already too I don’t go lower than 3.75 normally 4” is lowest I mow. The taller your grass blades are the deeper your roots grow resulting in a healthier lawn but I fertilize mine every 5 weeks too.
Ummmmmm platform size MoFo???? Dang Son forgot bout me wit da quickness!! LOL!!! All in fun, I know you gotz a million things going on. Remember, either we mowin grass or drivin fast, Dirty Jersey out!!! #broinlawns!!
Honestly, like everyone else is saying seems like the concept was taken from the wright stander x with the design. the only difference I see is small and different deck. Honestly cant believe someone would buy this for 12k and not spend the extra for zk.
Idk man ferris and wright and now hustler seem to have the best currently the exmark vantage then staris now this they can seem to hit out of the park even bobcat is doing better.
I wish this exmark had more more lubrication points and better spindle bearings Sure its nice not to have to worry with using a grease gun Just awful expensive replacing wore out parts Scag is mechanically superior and should be longer lasting This just not a scag
I just bought a new home with a 4 acre lawn and the lady left me an eXmark Pioneer with less than 300hrs on it. It's been nothing more than a money pit and the worse POS I ever encountered. You can't level the deck, on any less than flat lawn, it digs into the turf, endless spindles being replaced, safety switches etc having to be replaced, no traction on any hill!!! Garbage! I'm going to the Deere place tomorrow and give this junk to charity. Good riddance! No wonder she left the mower here!
Watched the whole video. I would not buy this unit. I would go with a ferris. It's a similar price even cheaper. Ferris also has the oil guard system, fule injection, and a larger engine
To be fair, that unit is $13k, versus $12k. I agree bigger engine and oil guard, but the build quality of a Ferris and Exmark is like comparing a Ford to a Cadillac. Fwiw.
Vertex is a joke 8.5 mph slower than stander x way slower than v ride n zk not productive at all. Overpriced not nearly as durable as wright guaranteed. Scag definitely cuts better too.

What do you guys think about the new Vertex?
Rob and I give it two big thumbs up 👍👍
got a staris right now, and i think that the vertex is pretty good but i dont like how the engine sits on top of the deck, unless its still a floatng deck.
I have a 61” scag V ride 2 and it corrects some of the short comings of the vertex. I’m very happy with it, in my opinion it’s as good or better than the vertex. But I’ve never driven a vertex either.
Can you compare it to the Toro?
It looks like a Wright Stander wannabe.
I just switched from the staris to the Vertex and omg what a game changer. So much faster and making straight lines is easier because of the handles.
Small tires, not enough horses, no articulating front end, small cheap spring platform, smaller gas can, old decks struggle w wet grass, no sides on pad for hills, plastic spindle covers instead of steel, ill take ferris z3x for same price all day😎 lVanguard 37 horsepower with oil guard system is the BEST! Grassflap is best shoot blocker. Foot pedal and flips all the way up and can feather it while still mowing. Qwickchute is great too
I agree with everything you said. I find it funny that Exmark fans actually brag about the cut quality. They are terrible in wet grass.
if they come out with an X series it wll most likely be a wright ZK with red pain and an ultracut deck, like how the S series is a wright stander x. the X series will also probably be 20 grand XD
i fel exmark is taking advantage of the hype on the vertex and seriously overpricing the machine. im sure its a solid mower bt you would get better bang for your buck if you went with a wright stander or scag vride etc. hopefully they chill with the MSRPs soon. not just exmark either everything went up considerably after covid.
On the vertex great looking mower,I think I should get one. How much it cost is it I’ll guess around 3 4 something like that maybe. Not 5 I wood not think o well just guessing. Thanks for showing telling see ya next time see ya bye.
At 4:42 I super really like your landscaping dump truck & your lawnmower trailer.

It handles like a Wright? Dual handlebar …me likey . I’m super interested in this machine . Thank you so much Brian! You da man 🫡🇺🇸
The units are so expensive it takes more then a season to pay itself off, if an operator step down and backed up by accident, ouch! Good video Brian!
These guys are paying these units off in one season.. these are mowers you upgrade to as your LC bussiness grows...
Great job showing and telling, so how much for the mower stand on S series. Thanks again for showing telling great job see ya on the next video have a great day see ya bye.
We got one at work 60” as well. I love it
Thanks for the best honest review Brian!
37 HP is a lot of fuel to be burning for little gain. Sharp blades at the correct angle and good to go with the Kawis these units have (same for Toro)
I’ve ran Kawasaki engines and I just purchased the Scag Vride 52 inch deck with the 37 hp vanguard. The 37 hp vanguard is surprisingly fuel efficient and uses just over 1 gallon per hour.

If I’m allowed to at the pole barn, yes I’d love that option.
Does it feel slow ?? They say 8.5 mph. Compared to a wright zk at 12.5 Or the x at 9.5.
It's kind off topic, I saw one of your videos changing blades with an impact wrench. You don't torque your mower blades?

At 9:00, there is a nifty trick to curb hopping, it's slow and controlled.
Basically back up the fat backtire, then piviot, then throw the other back tire at it.
How is this different than staris? Did they discontinue it?

Not even close to same level of a Vride 2
They are on original Vride level from 5 years ago with only slightly better hand controls, and that is just because of the width of them
exmark pricing has become ridiculous.
