Bobcat mower -Testing it in Tall grass 

Hey Stan, I bought the same mower in May a 52inch Quickcat, awesome mower so far i have 354hours on it. It stripes so good. I did not demo many stand ons before i bought the Bobcat but i love mine and have had no issues with it. The controls are touchy but once you are used to them the possibilities are endless. Great channel brother

I run bobcat xrz and love it! for the price and quality of the cut you cant go wrong with it. I is my second bobcat mower first lasted 950 hours before I sold it

Stan. Those controller bars are completely adjustable. I own a BOBCAT Quick Cat 36” stand on and I LOVE LOVE IT! The new quick cats are far improved aswell. The second one they released with major improvements as they are relatively new to the stand on market. The new ones have the bangles that are thicker and more comfortable and they slow down when u let go instead of stopping right away- they have the dampeners I think. They also have a new fuel gauge ... what you guys forgot to cover in the video is the BOBCAT-MOWERS exclusive turf tires. They are something special! Amazing traction, SELF CLEANING (results in the amazing traction, and they cause very little turf damage). I also have to respectively disagree with you on the fact that it is a “light duty” mower. Now maybe it just falls into that because of the low starting price of somewhere between $6200-3800 36”-60”... but it’s built with 7 gauge steel, the Maintainence is SOOO easy on it and the castor wheels are removable which is amazing if you get a flat tire. Luckily bobcat is an amazing company backing their product with a 6year 2000 hour warranty. And the predator pro with a 6year 2750 hour warranty!!! The company is great and all made in America! BOB-CAT mowers are very underrated IMO because they simply aren’t that popular in some areas for some reason but here in Chicagoland bobcats and Wright’s and (some toros )are the GO-TO mowers ... they also have walk behinds that clearly are built to last... as you always see them being sold on Craigslist... years and years later because they RETAIN THEIR VALUE and last FOREVER. If anybody is interested in seeing BOB-CAT mowers content please follow my Instagram @candilawncare and if you have any questions don’t be hesitant to comment on this post or DM me!

Don’t have a stand on bobcat and don’t see myself ever getting a stand on. Have a 48” bobcat classic walk behind that’s 4 years old and love the cut quality. Controls of that seem fine to me. Going to be buying a new predator pro 7000 with bagger in the spring. Also love the warranty’s. Bobcat stands behind their products

Bobcat has a 6 year 2000 hour warranty on the mower. The 2019 had dampened the controls, added fuel gauge and raised the tower.

I’ve never used a stand on but my procat zero turn is 1200 hrs in and 0 problems whatsoever. Also the controls are really smooth on it and has no Home Depot crap feel. I’d recommend a bobcat zero turn to anyone but not sure after watching the review about what to think of the stand on

If you loosened up the front handle bar where the tips of your fingers rest and moved it back all the way, the "travel" would be less. Therefore the touchiness of the machine might be easier to handle. I have a Gravely Pro Stance 36" and John Deere 652R 52" and there is more gap between the sticks and finger tip bar on the JD 652R then the Gravely 36. The Gravely is less fatiguing on the hands in part I think due to the spacing as well as the dampening. Once I built up more hand strength, I didn't notice the spacing/distance anymore on the JD 652R and it became the norm but it was a little herky jerky to start. Great video!

I demoed everything here last year and we ended up ordering Scag VR2s.. Seemed like it was the best built of the bunch, and has proven to be true the last year of ownership.

I run a bob cat ride on zero turn and have done for a season over in the uk and love it, couldn’t ask for a better and stripes beautifully!

The two local dealers near me who sell bobcat mowers totally sh÷t talked the entire line if mowers and dont even stock them in their stores. I was very set on looking further into a quickcat, and now I'm glad I didn't. Im dying to see you do a review for the ferris z2 stander. I bought a scag swzt walk behind and i love it. I really want a stander!!

Brian and Stan, seeing how Ed Wright (the Tony Stark of the mower business) offered up his expertise and equipment I hope you guys plan on buying some Wright machines.

There is a time for a bushhog that feild I think fits that description

Ed wright is the model of a healthy opinion... more people need that. I just feel like sometimes you guys make too harsh opinions. It’s a shame bc not everyone can afford the tip of the line until there business cab facility those types of investments. My first and only commercial mower is a Bradley 52 inch stand on. It’s not the best, but I’ve learned a ton about mowers bc of it! And, it was super affordable for me at the point and place that I’m at.

Stan. We have just purchased our 2nd Bobcat Stander. 1st one is 3 years old with 1831 hours on it and When I first got it, hated it. It wasn't the mower, it was me. At 6-2 inches tall and having a keg in front of my 6 pack abs, it had me at a disadvantage maintaining balance. But after 100 hours or so, would not have anything else. I have had the procat 52 and this thing will mow circles around it. I have noticed a major drop in production time on properties having 2 of these going as opposed to 1 52 and 60 gravely ZTR.

Keep these coming cowboy. Love all these videos

All we run is Bobcat. Have had others but we have had the best luck with Bobcat. Our standup seemed a bit tight at first but it takes literally 5 minutes to get used to.

That looked like my yard until yesterday. Haven't been able to mow because it wont stop raining. My hustler fastrack got a workout mowing since I could finally mow.

When is the hustler review coming?

You can slide that handle back like 1” or that might help a bit.

I would love to have a huge barn and have them all! I'd use a different one everyday.

Hustler makes a tough machine. I was told by an employee John Deer bought one to beat up and could not wreck it. They are built very heavy duty and cut nice too.

I have ever use Bobcats to mow lawn. I recognize that wal kbehide ones mow lawn very nice but one thing I don't like is that walk behide Bobcats use belt not hydraulic so when rain or water makes it difficult to mow. About stand on Bobcats, I don't like tires because it is too big so my customers are scared of big tires that make them think about a car running on their yards. I love wright stander and always purchase them to mow lawn. Wright stander cuts grass nice and easy to ride.

Still waiting for a response from chant on the subject

I own a landscaping and snowplowing company in buffalo my father before me done it my whole life ran almost every piece of equipment

Never hit the button sooooo fast

Just gave it the 800 like lol👊

That's one sketchy ride, should change the name from bobcat to bronco! 😁😂

Like your shirt!

What do you think about the John Deere 997 zero turn? The Utility Department by me has a 997 that has 9k hours on it... I was blown away by seeing the hour meter. They keep it clean and very little rust. Next time I see it I will take a picture of the mower/hr meter lol

nice skid and divot by the blc

Have you heard of a app called Greenpal ? It's like uber for landscape pros. You should do a video of that app.

You got to test out the Bradley stand on mower purchase one this year love it.

What do you use to cut kudzu, or what we call " foot a night vine" because that's how fast it can grow.

I have one question why tell the viewers what you thought and then tell your assistant his mind will be directed on your opinion not his own experience

Could you guys do a review on the Bradley stand on lawn mower

Hurky Jerky! Lol Good Review Boys!

Why when you do video review you guys never review Dixie choppers mower. Not once have I seen y'all do a review of Dixie copper mowers . I'm from Florida and have to say those are the staple for mowing and the best of all the mowers I have ever used and there the fastest of all mower out there and best and cheaper then all these you do reviews on.

You should make a video about a meclac

I took the spring off the handle

These guys have no idea how to cut long grass. You don't throw clippings over uncut grass in tough conditions like that. SMH

Ferris all day everyday. Go ahead change my mind.

I am a Kubota ZD21-60 owner thinking of buying a just out Kubota stander. But I have heard they (Kubota) bought the BobCat stander and painted it orange??? I am very disappointed with Kubota if this turns out to be true.

One of the commandants said it is because the discharge chute not raised ? Guys If you going to test a mower We as well as you should know a bit more about it

9:55 Welcome

So how long before that piece wears out, 25-30 years later? lol And the part where you were popping wheelies across the field was the driver doing that on purpose. I don't own a Bobcat but have demoed one for the day and they don't run like that at all. And who would mow 2 foot tall grass on 3-4 inches at first? All I see is sabotage here by a couple of paid Corporate lackeys doing a series of commercials for a predetermined outcome. In the end these guys will back the mower paying for all of this. (They have at least 100 grand in mowers sitting there) I have 35 years in the business and these boys are a couple of drama queens. There is really nothing wrong with any of the mowers out there. The Bobcat is a great mower with bare bones, The Ferris is the smooth ride Cadillac with extra frills, the more bells and whistles, the more you pay. John Deere you pay more for the name, The Wright is the yellow version of the bobcat. Toro, great mowers, you pay a little extra for because of the name. Scag, I hate the name, but are the Orange version of the Bobcat. Walker, great mower on flat ground, lol. The Grass Hopper is supposed to be a great mower as well.

Nice hat

ED I wish you would have one dealer in atlantic canada woul dlove to buy one of your mowers

Scag V-Ride is the best hands down. Operated several 8 hours a day for years. Prove me wrong

I love Brian but he's such a hatable guy.

Enough with the commercials😵

Is the dude with the glasses single... Cause I'll take him!

As a consumer this grandstand thing wouldn’t work for me. I’d be out standing on this thing for hours at a time while my legs rub up against it and become uncomfortable. This was my experience from checking one out at my local mower shop.

Where are the rest of the videos.

What is point of a stand up? I think a seat would be better.

Can you do a test on the ariens ikon x 52 like really soon please, I’m buying that mower and have seen a lot of good reviews on it but would love to see your review hopefully before May of this year. Gonna be using it only for my lawn so not many hrs in a summer but would love to hear your opinion

🐾🐾Cuts pretty good? What are all the stems standing after cutting? 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 🦃

👍

Is there even a market for a low/med duty standon mower?

C'mon guys; if it's really choppy like that, you're not going to be mowing it that fast.

Is this the same company that manufactures the compact equipment, like the wheel and track loaders?

Funny how much they resemble a bradley

Seems like you left a lot of the tall grass and would need a second pass that costs time and money

At least this guy is not hung on himself

Herky Jerky with my bad back and I would be only able to work 1 out of every 3 days.

You call that excellent cut quality? It didn't cut everything down even after 2nd pass. That's crap when it comes to "quality" products.

Stoney ridge farmer

What they cost? Really? Stupid vid. It cuts grass so?

Love how you " landscapers" can take time off running your " business " to go demo mowers

3 goofy goofballs. A hipster a guy that styles his hair and a multiple bracelet wearer.

Gas monkey lawn care

U shouldnt wear that hat bro

Ever since Aaron left Richard struggles to make good TV. Beer assistant !

Richard Rawlings reviews mowers?!

As a QuickCat 36” owner for the past 13 months, let me weigh in here. Great video, but one easy fix would have solved the biggest problem you guys felt it had. 9:55 In a real life scenario, you would raise the discharge chute. I think not many mowers have this feature, so maybe you didn’t know it and left it down, but you can raise the discharge chute on the QuickCat to any position (90 degrees, 45 degrees, etc) and it will stay in that position until you move it again. So on that yard you would have the discharge up all the way which would improve cut quality even more as the mower was able to discharge more. 12:10 I can guarantee you 100% the jerky steering issue is because of how the handlebar is adjusted on the machine you tested. I had this same issue for the first 5 hours of use, and thought I made a mistake buying this mower. Too quick starts, bumps would make my hands jump and affect steering, all kinds of bad stuff. Finally figured out that the adjustable front handlebar was too far forward for my sized hands. I moved it back as far as it would go and all the issues went away because I could wrap the front of my fingers around the bar, rather than just rest my fingertips on it. I see in the video it is in the full forward position, which I would bet ANYTHING is causing those issues. (Maybe an improvement for BOB-CAT is to ship them from the factory in the shortest position possible, and not the longest.) 12:21 Technique helps, but it still takes too much force. Definitely not a smooth motion. I have actually started wearing the metal on the parking brake. Again, great video and entertaining series idea!

You said this video series is somewhere around 9-10 different parts. Would be nice to have a number somewhere on the video title.

Brian wouldn't have acted like that with a exmark

Ed is the man

Not a user of these machines, so may be talking out of my bottom, but this one, at least, seems to be suffering a basic design fault? Because the operator is using their hands to move the controls it means that any movement is transferred directly to the lever which is both fatigueing and a control issue. I can see why they need to be moved forward as it means if they get snagged by a branck, or whatever, it will stop rather than take off but... What I would suggest is having comfortable hand rests, which will stabilise the operator - especially if they can lock their thumbs under it, and the levers a little ahead if them which the operator can pull back on with their fingertips for much better control. If there is a brush guard over the levers it will both prevent the levers from catching on things AND protect the operators fingers from low brush when working under plants.

They ain’t ready! Let the series begin 💪

If you don’t lean forward with the pad on the stand on mower it’s going to be jerky and your balance is going to be all thrown off. You can not ride something wrong and complain about the way it rides. That would be like standing on the seat of a car and complaining they made the roof too low. You gotta lean with the pad!! How do these guys not know this after hours of using it? Do you think the company angled the pad just bc they wanted to make you look stupid? Or do you think it’s angled for an actual purpose??? Hmm 🤔

I have a bobcat zero turn and it cuts nice. No service issues yet. I was at the expo I think it’s the 4000 series they added something to control the jerky part and the grab bar is adjustable if I remember correctly. I still am planning on buying my 32” Wright mower. Too many gated yards 👍👍👍👍

I have the new bobcat mower that was bought out by bobcat equipment company and its great. I have the zs4000 and the levers are now dampened. The cut quality is the best I've seen so far.

Brian gets the heavier duty mowers on his channel, that's what she said.

I saw Stoney Ridge Farmer wearing your sunglasses on his channel. He said to say Wooooo!

I'm switching to peet moss it grows 1/2 inch a year AND NO FN MOWING

Simple fix if you can weld

I brought used Grasshopper 900D series (not a standing machine). A: That should be a long lasting machine. B: I got a dealer nearby with all the parts (C: I already have two Kubota engines in use)

Why havnt i seen any great dane super surfers? Thats what i use daily and i love them! You have to do a review on them! Please? I will say the only thing that sucks about them is the bagger is so small. other than that it's very ergonomic and the controls are simple

Invest in a gyro stabilized camera platform it was hard to differentiate between camera bounce and the motion of the machine which made it difficult to see the action of the operators hands on the controls.

stanley should clap his hands and snap his fingers more! WOOOO HOOOO!!!

You should do a review on the Bradley stand on

Thank you for making a lot of great videos you are one of if not my favourite RU-vid or please continue the great work and could you possibly do a video testing all of your mowers and seeing their capabilities

U get used to the controls I have a 36 inch quickcat.

This is not a brush hog

Hands down the Wright ZK is the best stand on mower in the market at this time.

BOB-CAT has by far the best stand on mower next to the new gravely is pretty good also. Very biased reviews. The "cheap Home Depot residential" parking brake is the best design for a parking brake, and the operator presence sensor in the control levers is an awesome thing. It does not cause the mower to cut out when you hit a bump, they have to be in the neutral position before they go out far enough to trigger the safety. The "chattering" while driving was also a bunch of made up BS because that is never a problem unless you have inexperienced operators. Also the 6 year 2000 hour warranty should say something about how well they are built or else they wouldn't be able to offer that, and BOB-CAT will 100% stand behind the warranty if there is ever an issue. Maybe you should try and make an unbiased review sometime.

You just got kicked off chants Christmas list this year lol. Have to test again in 2019 since they redesigned the mower. Ergonomics seemed much improved when I demoed it at GIE this year.

First argument on the bobcat about the shaft is not really a bad thing. It is the same thing on my 1993 72" bobcat zt that I use everyday in the buisness and it still works fine. Hr meter stopped at 11,000 hrs 10 years ago.

Let’s do a review on the hat your wearing 😂. Bobcats are great mowers, I think the operators could use some practice lol

My 1996 bobcat waltz behind will outcut any of your so called heavy duty mowers
