I have to give your son a lot of respect for not wanting to damage your equipment, most kids wouldn't care and would just destroy things.
Thanks R S !
Im 13 and I would have to fix it if i broke it
Gotta love the fact that he is caring about nature more then most kids his age. Hope y'all have a wonderful and blessed week and weekend. Sending love and hugs from the central coast of Cali.
9:38 I have always turned my blades on with low to medium rpm, that way it doesn't damage the belts or pulleys. I find it less hard on the machine. I turn the rpm down also when i am going to shut the blades off.
Yeah, the new Exmarks with electronic throttle automatically throttle down when you turn on the blades. I think most owners manuals say to do it that way as well. To be honest, I still engage the PTO at full throttle most of the time out of habit though.
yea the sales rep says to engage the pto at half throttle then slowly idle up, also idle to half then shut down pto when finishing, less wear on the magnetic clutch , pulleys and belts. My pro 48 PTO engages at half throttle easily.
That's what I would have thought, but my dealer says Gravely recommends engaging PTO at WOT. I looked it up, and this is what the manual says:
"IMPORTANT: Engaging the PTO knob with the throttle lever set lower than fast position can cause excessive belt wear. ALWAYS use fast position when engaging the PTO."
My dealer says that is because if you engage PTO at lower RPM's, there is more of a time delay, resulting in increased slack on the "downstream" side of the clutch pulley, resulting in increased belt wear / slapping idlers around. Interesting to hear that recommendation from the mfg.
I so appreciate this video. I've wasted so much money on mowers that just can't survive MN. "Is this for your lawn? What kind of grass do you have?" they ask me... "Yea, but you don't understand. My grass is 5' tall with prickly ask, buckthorn, milkweed, dogwood, stinging needle." Thanks to you, I've found my next mower.
That's awesome to hear, thank you!!
I’d love to see a picture of the blade edge after this!
I bet that blade looked like a piece of rebar.
I use to work for a golf range when I was out of school for the summer and across the road behind the range was a pig farm with a electric fence and the owner had a Beagle named Driver. One day he went to check out the pigs and pissed on the fence he shot off like a bullet so we renamed him bullet. He never came within a 100 yards of that fence again.
LOL!!
Pro Tip: I read in my Wright manual its best to engage the blades at like 75-80% throttle for maximum PTO clutch life.
I was gonna say something similar, except it was my local dealer (who I trust; how lucky am I?). Bought an Exmark Radius last month and he made a very concerted effort to emphasize to me to never engage or disengage at full throttle. The manual says so as well.
That said, I drove my now expired (for other reasons) for 10 years and always engaged at full throttle.
So, who knows?
It’s about time you got to the 400 series. They are amazing. He Kawasaki is a great motor, but I love the new Yamaha EFI. The 460 is great for fields, but the 452 is the best all around mower. My company takes care of a large number of properties, and the 452 I have cut down on 15+ hours of mowing per week when I upgraded from my older gravely Pro Zero turns. the seat is amazing and is a serious back saver on 16-18 hour days.
Thanks for the input!
Zero-turn does it all on the farm a lot of people say you need a front loader but I just use the zero turn except bulk feed then it's nice to have a set of clamp on forks
LOL- Zero turn instead of a farmall.
Lucy, the snake whisperer? LOL
SNAKE !WATCH OUT !🤯 . That machine is a beast, I have a customer that has an old one that is a cross between a tractor in a 0 turn the thing has to weigh 6 maybe 700 pounds
Its an impressive machine!
Helpful tip . I used my hedge trimmers turned on with a rope to hold the trigger to run and layed it at my feet while mowing .As it knocked it down , I mowed .It work on 1.75 acre 10 foot tall .
Stop doing it wrong, go find a wasps nest first,then mow faster.
LOL
What is the name / brand of this mower?
That is one badass motor. That thing doesn't bog down at all.
Kawaski make strong motors!
Leave him at the farm for a few days with Uncle, take the electronics 😂. Great farm video again!!
Thanks Jason!
I hope your experience is better with gravely than mine I had a proturn 260 which is the same except for mine had a 29hp Yamaha and didn't have the air ride seat but I absolutely hated mine the cut quality is fair but clumps wet grass like no other. I had it for 3 months and went back to the dealer and said get me out of this
Thank you, I hope so too!
Distributor: Who authorized this?! Who's the... [insert quote from Full Metal Jacket] ...who just signed his own death warrant?!!"
My back hurts just from watching that......wheres the stripes ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You need one of my Altoz TRX machines. Comes with a bush hog deck and then in winter slap a plow on there.
Those blade edges had to be mirror polished razor sharp I bet ;)
Hell, I had employees that couldn't do ladders!
Damn Stan, my kidneys and ribs hurt just from watching this! Haha
I mow some bumpy properties, and you definitely feel it after a few hours (that night and the next day as well lol) and what you were doing make the bumpy properties I mow look tame! I bet you were feeling that after a while eh? Lol
The machine did great, I’m pretty impressed
And huge kudos to your little man not wanting to damage the equipment!
Someone is teaching him some very valuable lessons ;)
Hell, to be honest I think his demeanor and values that he shown is the most impressive part of this entire video
Very uncommon to see that anymore
Leave it to you guys to somehow make a mowing video have a heartwarming moment lol
Oh and yes to the electric fence 🤣
We were playing around with chicken wire back when I was a kid (seeing how long one could hold onto it...because we were such smart kids at the time haha, and a little later on while playing around at the farm one dared me to piss on it. Sure why not? Didn’t feel too bad to hold it
Welllllll, I did.... but that wasn’t chicken wire on this side
That is a feeling I will never forget 🤣
Haha hurts just thinking about it
Thanks Aaron. Appreciate you being a part of this channel!
That is insane. I saw another video of a guy running over pine cones and palm fronds with his and the mower just brushed it off. 6:20 my riding mower pops like that when you turn it off when throttled up high. I hope that doesn't blow the exhaust. I had to modify the fuel cut off solenoid because it went open and the engine died when I was mowing. When you are mowing I'd like to see more cab views (GoPro mounted on rollbar) because it's almost the same view you are seeing.
April 2018 I drove down to Austin Minnesota and bought a Dixie Chopper X2002 Quad Loop for $100. It has the 50” deck. I still haven’t gotten to working on it as the darn Lyme is a pita to live with.
I had dog that climb fences to get to his girl friend and the neighbor was not happy!
I bet !
Great video 35 hp and 19 different cuts that’s nuts
Thanks Max!
I saw this video without seeing the channel name and I thought - 'What the heck ,this guy's choking the mower to death, force feeding it all the grass it never wanted, seems like something Stanley would do..'
It's a damn bush hog..impressive
Thanks for viewing Tim !
I recomend your channel to everyone I know. Your great man.
I really appreciate that , thank you for all the support!!
Do you still have these 2 mowers?
Good show Stan, the gravely are worth the price...
They are impressive!
Looks like Ace Ventura driving the Truck in the Movie! Yea I can see your back is taking a beating.
Hey Stanley, thought you might want to know, just went on a midnight "pond cruise" with Tim and Tom from Garden State Koi because of you! Going with Aquascape for our choice. Thanks for the advice and education! I'll send you photos of my and their work if you'd like.
NIce!!!
Love these types of videos man. Well done.
Appreciate that, thank you!!
I have a Boxer mastiff that climbs chain link fences.
Get that kid of yours to do more review with you. He's lit
Fill the rear tyres with water makes a difference
Hey stan just outta curiousity do you still have storm or any fox for that matter
Yes- I have Storm. Should I do an update video on her?
I never been that close to a Gorilla!
Question... Why don't the manufacturers put the front blade behind the middle blades? Like a reverse triangle... I hate cutting tall grass, it leaves a mohawk.
BTW... My kids are that mouthy also...
I think one of the manufacturer is doing this.
Remember when we were told by our father... “idle down that mower before you turn it off so it won’t backfire”. 20 years ago Commercial mowers have added what they call an anti backfire solenoid. How it works is simple. Turn your mower off at full throttle. Your backfiring days will be over. You could save some head gaskets as well.
THAT GRAVELY is a crazy machine, where do you rate it Stan amongst all the commercial zero turns you used or owned , your son is funny, i don't want you to get any dislikes in the comments on your video, good young dude like his pops
That Gravely is built like a tank with an amazing motor. I rated it right up at the tops.
That's one tough mower
My dog can't climb ladders but he can eat kitty poop better than most.
LOL!!
That's known as a kitty payday crunchy on the outside chewy in the middle
@@brenttate9299 more like kitty almond roca
That’s crazy! Full bite every pass!
Is Lucy a catahoula leopard dog?
SNAKE! SNAKE! SNAKE! SNAKE! SNAKE!
That Gravely is amazing.
I've got one just like him at home Stanley. Wouldn't change em. Good video, interesting tips and a solid test for the mowers. Good job mate. 🐍 snake
Never had a dog climb ladders, but had one that would put his mouth on door handles and turn his head untill they opened, had to lock the dead bolt cause the little monster would go out the front door and run for fun lol, greman shepard huskie by the way
Lol!
Why do you go out in tall grass with shorts? That’s crazy to me.
These videos you post are amazing. I love watching them.
Thank you!
Snake! I just have to say I like your vids. I've had the flu for the last couple days and got sucked into a youtube binge. However, I keep seeing people mow a lot of fields or overgrown lots with these 4 to 5 inch cut zero turns and honestly, although i know most of the videos are just to show extreme conditions and that you could use this type of mower if need be and still have the space saved on trailers with standers and the ability to have a tight rear bumper and guard with the newer zero's. Not that this video was about those things. I would still use the Deines Magnum instead, NOT the 3 wheel marty J, Never liked that one never will. I've mowed tight residentials and fields both for over 16 years with the same Magnum Deines and the ability to lift the deck with the flick of a switch and mow down huge grass without having to worry about the boulders and other things that are found in fields is amazing! And when it comes to maintenance on the deck I can just flip it right up lean my deck or throw on some new blades or sharpen the old ones without having to roll around on the ground. Plus, the lack of deck visibility with the zero riders today is hard to get use to when you started out with a zero turn that has a completely visible deck. Which is why i think the crews i see now a days, plus a lot of the youtube crews i see, like the standers, the deck visibility is obviously much better and that's just from watching videos, never having tried one myself. Plus i can put my deck right under most trees or swings without having to actually go under the tree. So, I just had to say that because of how complicated it is watching these videos for me sometimes knowing there is a zero turn that makes this stuff so much simpler and can still be used on the commercial side of things. Having said that in a much too long and complicated comment backed by a ton of Nyquil cold and flu, I really do like seeing and hearing your reviews and keep up the grind brother. Also, maybe i haven't seen it yet, but have you tested any spartan mowers? I would enjoy seeing you take one of those through its paces.
Thanks for the suggestion Christopher, thank you for watching and hope you feel better!
I would be more worried about the cow with the new calf than the bull.
I bet the blades are dull.
My blades are like razors. Every week they get sharpened. 42 lawns a week on avarage
That snake was all about that hand!!!
Good kid you got there.
Thank you!
Those mowers are nice,,what are your thoughts on skag mowers?
Don't know- they kicked me out of their booth at the GIE and haven't talked to me since.
So, how bad do you feel after mowing this, lol... Know have allergies, not to mention, that ground looked so bumpy & riding a bucking horse looks smoother than what you went through for this vid (at least that’s what the camera looks liked when you had [us] mounted to roll bar) 😁
That’s a pretty power mower & impressive that could keep up. Like that companies “over engineer” the equipment these days....cuz never know what gonna mow or need to use it for💪🏼
Cheers👊🏼
As always, great music 🎶🎵
This MOWER impressed! Its really strong. But mowing that field was a ton of fun!
Snake! That was fun.
Thanks for watching!
If you kid gives you any more lip, make him mow with a gerber.
How many mowers do you have?
I test a lot of them . Only own a few.
Seems like the son is more mature than the dad.
SNAKE!!! RUN!!!
LOL!
The true stars of this video are the snake and the dog!
Yes!
Great video. Snake
Thanks Aaron!
We had a dog whose tail curled up and one day it ran under the electric fence. He tookk off like someone kicked him in the arse.
LOL!
Oohhh I can’t wait to see how many circles he does this time. Did you teach him how to mow straight yet? If he can’t figure it out get a push mower he will learn quick not to remow the same cut grass. He will be cutting for days.
He's getting better. But I like your idea with the push mower. Thats perfect for training.
@17:52 An opportunity to furnish and install some crack-filler. Make their pavement last longer; look nicer. (Less weed whacking for you.) Blow it out with an air pipe and pour in the hot schmoo!
Mowing in the jungle!
i would love to have a good zero turn mower that is better then my cheap JD d140
try mowing that field with a push mower theres a change for a furture video probably impossible but it could be hilarious to see you attempt it stanley love your videos keep them comeing and have a geat weekend
Have a great week!
0:12 Funny looking fox...
I was cleaning out my gutters when I looked over my shoulder and my German shepherd was coming up next to me. I perfer to clean my gutters from the roof.
Dang-thats cool and kind of scary as well.
Snake Dog Drool!
Iv only seen mowers pop when you shut them off with the blades on
you are nucking futs mowing that pasture with that mower
Michael Langlie lol an in ground hornet nest would’ve been fucked
Yes, Yes I am nucking futs.
Interesting that you know how thick the hair on a gorilla is.
I would love to see the blades after this thrashing lol.
Snake!
Soooo gravely or the new cub?
Tough Choice. Depends on your local dealer really.
The fact that there’s no Hornets or Wasps nest🤯🤯🤯
We got lucky!
Love my Gravely HD 52
Isn't gravely the benchmark of lawn and garden equipment? I always thought that all the other brands try to make stuff "as good " but cheaper . It sort of enforces the phrase "you get what you pay for".
Yes and No- they are a lot of Great brands. Gravely is one of the best though.
You're risking breaking the belts by doing such a thing I should know that because that happened to me already with a 72 inch Gravely not a good idea unless you have tons of money to spend on belts
belts are cheap compared to many other mower parts lol
SNAKE!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
SNAKE!
Bro. Need a new zero turn what you think about the kubota zero turn mower this place near my house sell they and state they are good mowers.
If you're the least bit rough on em, I'd suggest looking somewhere else. Been using my uncle's zd28 this year, and had a few problems. I ran over a branch, nothing real big, and it broke the tensioner spring on the belt. Then, ran over a piece of a harness or something mowing a friend's place, couldn't see it since the grass was pretty tall. And now, from the d ring on the end of the harness slapping around it's making noise now starting up and shutting down and a little bit of noise at speed from the blades I guess being a bit off balance or making slight contact somewhere. Just built pretty cheap if you ask me, doesn't take hardly anything to damage the belts/blades. The way they turn, if anything gets in there, it's going to cause interference with the blades, and break something. Not to mention the ridiculous parking brake and safety switches. But I guess you could say pretty much the same for damn near everything now days...
Iv'e never ran a kubota zero turn. sorry!
I do it all the time slowly
You can mow it, but you really shouldn't. Unfortunately, I know from experience. We bought a house, with 20 acres. We also have a Gravely 60 inch. Before I bought a tractor, I started to hack away at the back acres with the Gravely. After about 2 years of abuse, it is starting to fail on me. I've had to replace more parts on that mower, than any other piece of equipment.
Sounds like the years of abuse took its toll
Great video! If there was a way to add a pic to this comment I would show you my first time on a zero turn and where I ended up. It was fun!
yes I Peed on a Elc Fence. I think i was 8 or 9. I do not recommend!!!
brother had a Red Bone that climbed trees!
snake!!!!!!
You can do it!
SNAKE!!
Thanks Dick!
Why wouldn’t you ever wana use it again if you drove threw there
It's just a saying. Its still as good as it was.
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek I was wondering because even if you tear your bearings up you could buy rebuild kits for spindles, belt and blades for hardly nothing
looks like that stuff is about 18 rogans tall
Snake
