Been on a sit down for 5 years now, yet to try a stander but I’ve always wanted to get a little 36in stander to replace push mowing. I will say I love sitting on my ass and getting paid for it so I love my sit down 😂
Have lots of large properties and a bad back so I prefer my ferris with suspension, but I started with a stander and plan to add one back to the fleet for certain situations. Love your videos!
Hey Brian, I’m 14 and have a small lawn care “ business “, I’ve been watching you for over 2 years and you have inspired me so much so I just wanted to say thank you for that and I hope to have a business just like you some day. And congratulations on the baby, thanks Brian 👍🏽
On our trucks we put quick links through the loops for the trailer chains just to make it easier to clip the trailer break away and the safety chains to, our breakaway also has the big carabiner
Sit down is my preferred and mowing. Fire helmets are made with the brim to the back to prevent ash, embers and hot water from getting between the jacket and the neck to limit burn injuries to the fire person.
Just like every team someone joins- you’re only good as your weakest player. Having him learn the stand up only adds to his experience levels and makes him a valuable asset to the company. Alway good to see someone who’s ambitious and is willing to take chances while learning new equipment. Great video. Congrats on your addition to your family 🙌
I do all the trimming for my lawns most days and my guys do the mowing. Trimming frames the lawn and makes it crisp. I like both the stander and the sit downs for different situations.
Looking good guys, Keep it up. I would like to respectfully encourage Conner to always use safety glasses when mowing. I never thought they were necessary when on the mower, but once I had it pick up a rock in the grass, it shot out into the woods, bounced off a tree and slammed into the middle of my sunglasses. Thank goodness I had them on. It destroyed the glasses but saved my eye.
Oh yes, he did after we got those couple clips. I’m a nazi when it comes to safety protection, just ask anyone who’s worked for me for longer than 10 seconds
The good thing about the stand-on mowers as you can operate them with one hand and grab the branch and move it out of your way. I prefer stand ons because every time you have to get off the mower to grab a trash sticks or anything else is a major project if you're on a sit-down
Hey Brain. I'm 18 and I'm not making money and not really planning on getting a degree. I want to start a lawn mowing business but I don't know where to start and what the steps are to growing it. So far I have a really crappy 20-year-old or older lawn mower that turns off after mowing just my front and back lawn. I know the first step is to get a better lawnmower. After that, I was planning on creating some flyers or something with prices on them. I will go door to door selling my story and my services. I think having a good background early on is a great way to get customers (In the future if I have a really great business that story won't apply since I will have enough funds to do what I want anyway). My story is that I just graduated high school, I am trying to make some money to support myself and one day re-visit my family in Ireland and spend some more time with them before they pass away (They are dying off, sadly. One passed a week ago and I have not seen them since I was 10). It's a true story and I can try to make it less wordy but that's what I got. ANYWAYS. My plan is to buy a new mower, spread my business, get a friend or something to help if I have too many customers eventually, hire some more people on, buy more equipment, establish a company name, get a place to hold the company operations and store the equipment and expand from there. That is all I know. I don't know if this plan even makes sense or not. What can I do better?
Actually, I enjoy both trimming and mowing. I don't know why but trimming is so satisfying to me, allows you to get into those tight areas and borders where the mower will not reach. In the end, the two compliment each other. I'm with Connor, I don't run the Darwin's Grip on my trimmer because I don't bend my back when trimming, I've never had an issue with my back hurting because of it, but I can see how it benefits taller guys like Rob. Nonetheless, it's an ingenious accessory that makes life more comfortable for the taller dudes. And I'm looking forward to GIE this year!
I have to say man, you have a lot of patience and understanding in your voice and approach to things. You'd be a great boss to work for. I am in the works on starting my own lawncare company.. Legit lawncare, and I have learned a lot from you. I appreciate all of the videos and your wisdom. I have been doing seasonal lawncare and part-time outside of my full-time job for about 18 years now, and last year I decided to pick up about 12 properties. It was a struggle doing all of them and my full-time job, but I think I can transition to full-time lawncare and make it. Thanks for the videos!
Read you comment and I myself have been thinking to do this also. I’m a groundskeeper from 6-2pm and I think I have enough time to pick up a few properties a week
I have never been on a stander but with all of the tree branches that I encounter I think that the sit down is the way to go. I wish I could find a sit down trimmer, lol.
I enjoy trimming alot, but I still have to mow. After all it just me. I enjoy it all. Most place I which I could use a riding mower! I use a push mower. I don't have those big super lots yet. 1 day I will!
35 years old been doing this for 20 years now....commercial cuts like apartment and all day cuts I choose the rider...houses I'll edge whip blow all day just to make sure it looks good
Couple other things I ran scag for 10 years and greased and greased....now I run exmark and have to grease nothing just sharpin...never replaced a scag spindle waiting for a exmark spindle to go out been running it for years now no problems scag cuts pretty to much maintenance tho but exmark is start cut finish and go
Great video Brian, at least you have a certified firefighter on your crew just in case something goes wrong! I like standers, better visibility, they are safer, more compact. But when we mowing acreage I go sit down!
I actually prefer small sit downs because I can tow a wagon with leaf blower and trimmer rack on the side of it and drive that to my destinations because I can’t drive
Been mowing at some capacity for 12+ years and up until this season I’d have said I’d much rather be sitting on the mower. My thought has changed on that. More of an art to trimming and surprisingly doesn’t beat me up as much as riding on the mower on large rough properties.
Hey Brian, Great video as always, Hey been a while since i seen one of the Video's Congrats on the New Baby . Hope all is well and the season was Great. Had a Good season myself here Downriver .
Have only been on one stander and it was trash, an older Pro-Stance. Would like to get on a newer, nicer model. Considering going to a 52 stander from my pro turn 460.
Ok, so I'm old... I can never find the "links down below" when watching the videos lol. Where do they hide?? That DeWalt looking pretty good for price point.
when you scroll down just before the comments there should be a thing that says SHOW MORE right above Brians merch click it and there should be all the links
Literally makes no sense to prefer a stander on property that is big and flat. I only use my stand on mower for small pieces of land and maybe mulch some leaves up in a situational moment
Stand up or sit down more a question of right tools for right job do you guys swap jobs throughout the day let's face it everyone s happy to sit on the mower all day but not so keen on strimming all day
Let's settle the debate: do you guys prefer standers or sit downs?! We have a 1 to 1 tie here between Conor and Rob!
Rob looks cramped to the z he would be better off standing

Stand all day can hit steep ditches way better
I use a sit on for my town mowing(side of roads, over grown fields) but when i go with the lawn crew we run standers

Hey buddy that’s sweet! Wish you all the best!
same
Thanks Brian
I'm 13 and kinda I'm the same boat
It's hysterical to see Rob on the zero turn every time!! Looks like he's in a recliner just chill'n LOL.
I thought the same thing 🤣🤣
Darwin is a back saver. Welcome to south Georgia weather hot and rainy all the time.
Man! It is so nice to see a young kid like Connor have so much hustle in him!

Had to choose from both. Lawntreprenuer Acad! Getting my ticket this week. All the way from South Texas!!
Great video. Awesome to see other come together and crush it!
I never thought about which I like more. I just love asking properties look amazing
Awesome to see all the learning going on!
Love the videos! That dewalt is a stripe master! It's seems to be pretty good for the price! Keep up the great work!

That storm took out so much power. The storms been out of control this yr!
I also don't mind trimming. But I'm solo. Haha. Nothing is worse the the blower on a windy day
Noticed when he is driving he watches his line edge …. I find if you pick a spot in front at the destination and drive for it your lines are perfect
35 years old been doing this for 20 years now....commercial cuts like apartment and all day cuts I choose the rider...houses I'll edge whip blow all day just to make sure it looks good
I'm from southgate I follow u...novi is about 20 miles away u got big yards and people tend to more landscaping out that way
Couple other things I ran scag for 10 years and greased and greased....now I run exmark and have to grease nothing just sharpin...never replaced a scag spindle waiting for a exmark spindle to go out been running it for years now no problems scag cuts pretty to much maintenance tho but exmark is start cut finish and go

Stander, hands down. They are so much more versatile.
Hip throttle don’t have to worry about that switch
bro your my go to lawn care youtube ch I'm in monroe right down the way from u. keep these great videos coming 👏 👍
Nice!
Congrats on the baby 👶 me and my wife listened to the podcast 😎
Thanks brother!!
I ordered the same cables off Amazon. So nice they're not too long and dangling too low

I'm scared to take on high-end homes bc my lines aren't on point but if you guys can do it damn I may change my mind for year 2.
Mowing all day
Oh congratulation on baby,
Hey Brian. You should give the guys a GoPro and let them record them working
Great idea
Looks great , good job 👍👍
If I had somebody mowing while I trim I wouldn’t mind trimming. But since we have a bigger property now it sucks to do both by myself 😂
I got that hitch to love it
Hey Brian, Great video as always, Hey been a while since i seen one of the Video's Congrats on the New Baby . Hope all is well and the season was Great. Had a Good season myself here Downriver .
Awesome video - can't wait to read the comments on this one lol - big thumbs up :) 👍👍👍
I prefer mowing but I love to hop on the trimmaa 🤟🏾
I hope ALL your viewers are buying their TICKETS to Your Seminar in November. I want to see all my brothers and sister in the lawn care community.
Thanks mate!
TJS LAWN CARE Will be at GIE-EXPO this year! Can't wait to meet you bro!
Nice dumper dogg. I live where they make them huge company
Awesome video bro 👍
Definitely a sit down mower, more comfortable for me anyways.
I'd definitely rather mow. It keeps a little breeze on you during the hot days vs walking around with a whipper.
where did the stihl trimmer go from the start? He was getting it ready and then it just wasnt there
He used it the rest of the day, he likes that model a lot
Great video
I ride solo so i do mow trim and blow. That being said, i think i prefer mowing
Good morning great video what kind of camera do you use
Thanks Matt
We just did a video today on that!
When are you coming down to New Zealand for a visit
Depends on day hot day mower cold day trimmer
I want to upgrade to a stand on but I’ve only ever run a sit down
Trimming is good Exercise
Brian how do handle sweet gum all and pine cones
We don’t have those here!
Have only been on one stander and it was trash, an older Pro-Stance. Would like to get on a newer, nicer model. Considering going to a 52 stander from my pro turn 460.
He said swamp butt lolzz
Rain is insane
I prefer pruning bushes.
Is this the kid that was in that interview like 2 years ago? He’s grown up a lot.
Yup! Yeah he sure has!
Trimmer for sure!! Just because I’m faster then anyone on the crew! Lol
Love to mow, but trimming is easily the most important thing we do on mow properties, way more likely to lose customers with bad trimming!
