Don't Listen to a Word I Say 

If you're not willing to change your mind after you gather more information.... You might be a Democrat.

Hey dude, I just appreciate your down to earth honesty! It’s a quality that today, aint what it use to be.. Keep rollin’ the way you always roll, dude! Semper fi

Do I give value to your reviews? I value it as much as I would from anyone else I don't know. (I don't mean that to sound hateful.) What I do is listen to your review, compare it to others and then see if it lines up with my needs. I get the most value from watching what products you use on a daily basis (the products show up regularly in your videos). If I see you using product xxx in multiple videos then I know you have found value for your needs. Fully realizing that not every product gets used everyday. I guess my point is that I use your reviews along with others to help me make an informed decision. I don't take any one review from anyone as gospel.

Haters are always gonna hate. That’s their problem.

Brook you keep doing and saying what you think cause those who don’t like your honest bluntness are the losers The majority of your followers are now and will stay with you because of your outspoken way you are so thank you for this freshness and hope you NEVER change

Wow, that made my day. Always start my day with Brock and a morning coffee. It made me smile because you are just authentic you. This world is full of inauthentic people and so it always refreshing to get yoour opinion. Keep it up

I like that mower. If I were younger, I would buy one. So, I will just enjoy watching you mow with it.

I never listen to you brother!! You don't even like to mow grass!! 🤣🤣 Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!

Forget politics Brock.....you're WAY too honest . pc

I have the 50 hour service on my 2515H happening tomorrow. I love this tractor. And like you brock, I am not an expert. Heck, this is my first tractor. But I looked and looked and talked to people for 6 months before making the purchase. And for my use case I could not justify the other brands. My back field is only 2 acres. But I didn't just want to mow it. Eventually I want to plant in it. So just a mower wouldn't do. I also have about 1.5 acres of lawn space. For that I got a Hustler Fasttrack. Is that over kill for my yard? Yes. But since "my" property is actually my mother in laws and I am just the one maintaining it, I wanted to make sure that the mower would outlast her and it would be the last one she ever had to buy. The reasons I made these purchases worked for my needs and my situation. Each person has to examine their own needs and find what works best for them. I did look at that Cub Cadet you are running. It looked like a fine machine. But for me there was one deal breaker. It is not fat man friendly. Keep on doing what you are doing. Love the content and even the debate!

Okay now , no one listened to me either and I have over 40 years in commercial grounds maintenance. And don't take this the wrong way but you're a RU-vidr . And you make good content the majority of the time. Do I like all of it , NO. But that doesn't stop me from watching. But moral to the story is sometimes you me and the rest of the world should just listen and take the information for what it's worth.

I have been cutting grass for a living for 35yrs. 18 yrs ago i become paralyzed from waist down. I struggled for 8yrs still cutting, had good employees. They my son turned 18 and he has been amazing. In 12 yrs hes doubled our company. So i fix everything, do maintenance. You never know who your touching. Maintenance has become my life, we run 8 trucks. Even more in winter. 2 lawn crews, 1 large landscape crew. Thanks for your input Brock. I bought 2nd dixie chopper to be delivred in Michigan in 1987, i was 19. I startedat 15.

Brock........... Just stay the way you are and say how it is and how you think.. Don't change a thing. In the old days pre 1960-70's electric motors had grease fittings since the beginning of electric motors............. Now they are sealed bearings and run for thousands of hrs go figure that.

Been around the AG world for a number of years and there has always been a debate about sealed/unsealed bearings!?!? There are three types hard seal ( metal shield) ,soft seal (plastic/abs shield) and no shield. I have used them all with various results depending on application. Depending on the type of grease gun used some are capable of 5,000PSI which in the case of metal shield will collapse the metal shield and cause premature failure of the bearing; ABS/plastic is more resilient/better tolerated and then non-sealed????? In industrial and agriculture the general rule is grease at the beginning and end of use and that is still in use today. Sealed bearings became popular out of cost factor; in the past most equipment had a assigned oiler whose job was to grease and oil the moving parts (morning/noon/evening)$$$ ,I believe that oiler position doesn't exist today! I have a thirty year old lawn tractor with a fifty inch deck with three spindles and have only replaced one of the spindles; the originals were non-greasable. I just retired that lawn tractor due to deck failure after thirty years. So if your new Cub Cadet can last half that long; then you can brag!!!

Brock, I actually weight your opinion a little heavier then most people on you tube. I have said it many times....you are a normal every day guy doing normal guy things and seem to be very honest. I have read tons of comments from people across several channels regarding lawn mowers. A lot of people aggressively defend what they purchased even to the point of overlooking, or dismissing, one or two things that need improvement on the model/make they purchased. With lawn mowers you have the added knowledge of having actually used many styles of mowers from many manufacturers. I researched mowers for about five years. I looked at Walker, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Scagg, Hustler, Gravely, Toro and many more. I ended up with a J.D. x730. Is it the absolute best mower in every single category? Hell no. I discovered there is no perfect mower. The x730 checked my must have list and a few of my nice to have things. I wanted one machine for lawn care and snow removal. I had to have easy deck removal/maintenance, option for a heated cab and simple change over from summer to winter without having to lay on the ground. I am 57 and my father is 74. I see him struggle with many things and am trying to avoid this as much as possible. The x730 has an auto connect drive over deck and all of the quick tach & click-n-go brackets can be put on from an upright position. To change to snow blowing you have to lie down to attach a drive shaft (easy) and that's it. It works for me and I love my selection. Other people will obviously have other terrain requirements, attachment requirements and personal must have's. I don't begrudge other people for buying something else that suits their needs and wants. Long winded I know but I for one value your opinion and place it in the useful box for information in my decision matrix. Have a great day.

You the man Brock! Fairly new to the channel but, i enjoy the heck out of all your videos. I want my own saw mill!

Great videos of shoot from the hip. I had a 23 hp 54" cub cadet zero turn for 12 years. Replaced the spindle to the blades twice because the cast aluminum on one of the 4 ears broke off and the blade cut uneven. Not because of the sealed bearing ceasing. I gave the mower to family after purchasing Kubota diesel zero turn last year.

Keep runnin your mouth bro, you're doing just fine...

I value others opinions and hear in my head, "It's the best they have used" because I know it's pretty much impossible for any one person to try every single brand from around our big world. Not to mention technology is always advancing and it's only a matter of time before the next big thing comes along. Any persons opinion is one point of view only. My grandfather was responsible for working on and over seeing many different buildings and hotels up and down the east coast of US and Bahamas and he told me he always listened to every persons opinion that worked under him because no one person could possibly know everything....but in the end, it was up to him to make the final decision and make sure the job got done and done right. Keep being you Brock because in the end, it's your channel and you get the final say on what content comes out and you definitely have the right to your own opinions.

Your show delivers entertainment to people who are probably bored and just killing time, you are NOT claiming to be Consumers Reports. Trying to defend a product opinion is a waste of breath.

Will you please try a bad boy max hd I would appreciate it

Brock, I respect your opinion and I believe this is a good mower even a great mower for the fact that it can mow on hills the way you described it outdoor with Morgans have the same mower and they love their mower so I agree with you I think this mower designed is a good one just for the simple fact that it has front wheel steering and you described it perfectly. Keep up the good work.

I saw the same mower on Outdoor w Morgan’s. He said the same thing about being great on hills and that his wife would use the mower over a traditional zero turn. LOL. I have not owned a mower in over 35 years. I live in the mountains. 😊

I have never been a Cub Cadet fan. Growing up 20+ years ago my grandparents had multiple cub cadet mowers and we couldn’t keep them together. Obviously that could have changed greatly with time. I do have to say as a person with a small lawn service that mower you are demonstrating Brock is super impressive. I’d love to have it on my farm with lots of grass too. I enjoy your channel and appreciate you!

People are conflating the budget Cub Cadet series sold at Lowes with the commercial grade mowers. The commercial grade mowers are legit.

If someone makes a comment “That guy does know what he’s talking about “ is a garbage comment. That person hasn’t offered anything to the contrary of your opinion. Tell me why Brooke doesn’t know what he’s talking about, why are you more qualified, what in their opinion is the better mower? Keep doing what you do making good entertaining informative RU-vid videos and I’ll keep watching and I might even use whatever I learn to make a decision about a product I am thinking about buying.

I’ve watched you review a lot of mowers. I would take your word for it. Thanks Brock

Them cub cadets are trash. A cub cadet commercial is roughly equal to other brands residential grade mowers. cub cadet residential mowers are scrap metal. MTD now owned by Stanley has been making poor quality machines for years under names like cub cadet ,yard machine Troy built ,John Deere in box stores . Go Get a scag ,a Ferris ,a Kubota, a bad boy anything other than A MTD cub cadet and you will be much happier. They have recently purchased excel industrys / hustler as well. That’s what MTD does buy a company for its name and reputation then run that company’s reputation into the ground.

Listen, here youngster, lol coming from a man that has been around lawnmowers a while, and even owned his own lawn business at one time was convinced that that might be the best zero turn mower made for another positive was the true zero turn feature so until I try one you had me convinced take care of Brock and don’t listen to everybody you can’t please them all lol

Brock, I appreciate your authenticity and enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

You are super transparent, Brock. Someone who is new might not understand but those of us who have been here know you and trust you. We also know how much to trust you because we know what you do, what you've done. You aren't an expert but you have a lot more expertise than me on things and so I listen. I don't know why trucks don't have grease zercs anymore. I've wondered if it's because grease is bad or if people aren't going to grease them reliably. I know I'm not going to be good about greasing so I prefer sealed stuff. Also anyone who isn't an idiot understands that "best mower" is subjective. I know it's the best that you have tried for your needs. Anyone arguing with you is an idiot or they have tried something you haven't had for a different need and aren't arguing the same thing. For me the best mower is my Ryobi ZTR because I wanted electric, and it was the one that had the right tech at the moment I was willing to buy. And I will die on that hill based on the things I needed but not unrelated things. It won't mow all my acres in one go, but neither can I 😅 It won't cut the thickest stuff in one go. But all electric has a trade off.

There’s a lot I can say on the topic but I think I’ll add something others maybe won’t: Nearly every salesperson is a habitual liar. A lot aren’t intentionally untruthful and are pretty good to work with, but a surprising amount are intentional liars to make a sale. It happens a bit less with higher value items and items with specification sheets, but boy oh boy does it transcend industries and cultures. Out of 200+ sales people I have worked with in my life I would consider maybe one or two to be genuinely truthful. That’s on projects/purchases from $500k down to an aquarium fish. All of this sounds cynical but I assure you it isn’t a pissed off rant. I’ve worked corporate desk jobs and hands on jobs, seen it everywhere. Once you shift your methods to be that you always come into the situation knowing as much or more about the product then the sales person does, its night and day apparent how often they lie to make a sale.

Well said! I used to get mad at the keyboard warriors , now I just laugh at them mostly and. Do NOT reply to them with a comment

It’s all good bud. I respect you your opinion 😊

I think that anyone who follows you understands your position on products you test and use as it being your personal views and opinions. I guess some people just like to argue and be objectionable. Keep testing and tractor on. 🚜

My first Cub RZT 50” with 22 hp Kawasaki lasted me 18 years, just bought my second and think it’s the best

I watch your videos to see you run your mouth. Someone who is afraid to say something wrong usually doesn't say much. That makes for boring videos. I'm smart enough to make my own decisions, but too old to waste time researching everything. So I watch videos. I'd rather you talk to a mower manufacturer for three hours. That's a lot of time. I'm good with your condensed version of that interchange. You keep making videos, and I'll keep watching them. Thanks, Brock.

I don't remember you ever claiming to be an expert on anything. Always love your videos.

Great video Brock, very well said!👍🏻👍🏻

Yo slim, keep running ur mouth I’ll b listening!!

As you have always done "this is my opinion", everyone needs to take that as it is. I like your stuff because you point out things that I might not see or think about. Keep doing you Brock!

Brock I value watching you test and give your thoughts of different machines.

ALWAYS debate the negative! Give you a chance to monitize them

You make good solid content about the equipment you review. When I want a particular machine for my farm, I research. You are one of my resources, one of the many out there and there are tons. Everyone's particular needs differ from user to user so what is more than enough for one won't do at all for another. I for one am glad you create your content and I don't always hafta agree with your opinion, it's just one of many sources available to all of use. Thanks for what you do Brock 😉

It’s basically impossible for me now to watch one of your videos and not wish you were my next door neighbor. 😊

You keep telling us there are smarter people than you. I'm 70 years old. My opinion is. It's all junk and overpriced. Sthil used to be a high quality saw. Not anymore. I owned a Ferris years ago. GREAT machine. Today. ?????. I bought a saw identical to the Sthil for half the price. Why? My Sthil saws break down the same as brand x. Except my old 029. It just keeps running. There all junk. Buy a cheap throw away.

I agree with you 100% about the Cub cadet (WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ) being the best mower on the market!! We have 2 of them and have had them for apx three years now. They are absolutely great in every way

Brock, can you measure the wheel track width on that machine? I'm curious if its wider than my sub-compact tractor. The ditch I mow at the front of my property I have to straddle to mow it, its a bit wider at the far end, and just about drop the front end of the tractor into the ditch....it seems like that zero turn is a little wider, maybe not? I guess they do make a dual wheel version of that zero turn too, but the price....OUCH!! LOL. I had the Cub Cadet XT1 42" with the Kohler 18HP engine....in 6 years I never had problems with it, my uncle is using it now since his Husqvarna broke down one too many times.

The commercial Cub cadet like the one you are showing and the one that I have are awesome mowers. Don’t listen to the hater’s

Nothing wrong with a good debate, but it comes the time if you are proven wrong, back-off and apologies. Technologies do improve and develop. It is a good mower and can self-drive with GPS, how many other Zero turns can do this?

Oh actually last thing, cub cadet is getting alittle cocky lately too honestly. They came into this commercial line of Equiptment recently and I truly think they make good stuff, I was actually telling a buddy he should get their 54” stander a couple weeks ago and we stopped by the dealer, the damn cub cadet was more expensive then a brand new Skag with the same Equiptment? Like come on, Skag is prolly the best cutting mower out there, I’m not a fan personally but even a complete blind idiot could mow a lawn on a skag with the velocity deck and make it look amazing, so to try and charge more than a brand new skag is just a joke if you ask me

11:00 if zerks are important, they can look at the residential models. The one you're sitting on is part of their Commercial line, intended for high-hour use with as little maintenance as possible. For example, I have the residential ZTXS60 and it has grease zerks.

I’ll gladly pour fuel on the fire…. All zero turns are trash, and only pheasants mow with them. 😅 Cold AC, cold beers, air ride seat and five finger death punch blasting is where it’s at. Makes mowing enjoyable. Neighbors were hard core zero turners until they learned. It’s a job that has to be done no matter what, might as well knock it out in style.

U sure don't after 40 years of mowing u don't know shit absolutely the 2 best mowers on market are Ferris and grasshopper u will never have as many mowers as I have

Brock I thought your word was gospel lol. I would bet that cuts better than my new deere z760r HC pro 60cut even accounting that I just put the multch control kit on it this past Friday.

If their commercial equipment, is anything like their residential equipment, than no thanks.

TOO MUCH b.s. WITHOUT GETTING TO THE POINT. CAN'T SIT HERE AND JUST LISTEN TO YOUR rambling!!

Your a good guy putting out the effort to argue with the really double thick hard heads. But your correct. I love a sealed bearing. Grease does not stop a bearing from wearing out. A sealed bearing is going to wear out. It will get a better life though. I don't like grease zerts. I love a sealed bearing. Grease zerts are for pins and bushings, that also wear out. Give me a sealed bearing where ever possible. I'm impressed with your mower.

Brock, I value your opinion greatly. You are a regular guy who is honest, hard working , loves using equipment and loves trying and demonstrating different equipment. Yes, you are one person and don’t claim to be an expert on equipment. A regular guy like most of your viewers giving his honest opinion about what the equipment he is using. I value that. Thanks

We live in a 10 second world today! What you say is your opinion, and I am glad for that. As an engineer, you don't make decisions based on one opinion. Listen to other people and distill what they say to what is pertinent to you and then make your decision! About your bearing question "what is best?' Bushings take large loads, but are inexpensive and require attention more frequently. Bearings not sealed will give better performance and require careful maintenance, but will not handle abuse. A sealed bearing will provide good performance if sized correctly, and requires no maintenance. So what is best? Depends on the user! Vote with your pocketbook! Thanks!

I have two Cut over 10 acres Love zero turn steering wheel Cub cadet❤

Did your rep tell you cub cadet gives a veteran a 10% discount?? But they also give the national latino landscaping assoc gets a 20% discount. I now have exmark mowers. . When trying to boost sales is ok but not when a veteran is not as important as a certain group,

My Pro Turn 260 doesn't have grease fittings.

I own a cub a lot of the units built at the age my mower is that was before MTD bought the brand are out of service for one reason or other. Or it just seems that way. And i used to be a machinists The idea you can pump too much grease in is tottaly foolish Most your sealed bearings can be repacked just take the plastic dust cover off and put it back on. What causes a zert type bearing to fail, using a different type of lube in it they mix and one type can break down the other. So the guy who pumps s different type in can cause his new lube job to fail the part. Its better to clean out the old and use a new type, the cub dealers going to use the same thing but you'll use something tottaly different. Now i washed my deck one year after the season was over it sat off the tractor in the garage because i put the snow blower on for the winter, ill do this after fall clean up. Well the next spring i took the snow blower off put the mower deck back on and every sealed bearing was squealing all the pullies i thought i had trashed them. And you can't change the bearings You have to buy a new pullies parts wise that was over 100 bucks. Instead i took all of them off removed both dust caps and packed all of them with fresh grease full and worked them then did it one more time put the dust caps back on and put them back on the mower yes they made a tiny bit of noise for a few seconds but stopped that was 5 years ago and they are quite still. But what i noticed is most of the bearings never had much grease in them to start with not enough to repelling water anyway or they would not have rusted to start with. The bearings should be full and not just a dab of lube. The idea its too full is when you pump the dust cap off you put in so much. Spindles you can pump all day and not fill one it won't even make it to the bearings take one apart you'll see. Thats almost any brand. Would you put dry bearings on your cars wheels? No you pack them with fresh lube after you clean out the old because it gets hard over time.

A big concern on the bearings, I'd ask the rep for pictures of the bearings and grading of then. The mower looks great on your review, every person has ideas, those with little knowledge its rougher on them. Continue on your reviews we all learn together

If grease can get out of a bearing dirt can get in,do not wipe the grease it will act as a seal.never wipe old grease you’ll push dirt into the bearing. I have over fifty years industrial experience believe what you want. I have a thirty year old truck with 400,000 miles on it and the original sealed ball joints were replaced this year .

Brock, I stick with you because you are not all fluff and no stuff. I enjoy and respect the fact that you are transparent and honest. You do you and say what YOU think and keep doing what you do. Thanks for another great video.

I like the steering wheel design. Seems far more comfortable than the traditional Zero turns plus its got the bouncy seat. Thats what im looking for.

It's just like I can't say bad things about my hustler xd 130 hours of complete abuse more then wat ive seen others put mowers thru

Man I wish you would stop it with these videos, it gets old hearing you do a video just responding to complaints, just do the video and move on. These people know how to do research before they buy a mower, just move on for petes sake.

I would much rather have a good Japanese sealed bearing. Than a cheap greaseable bearing. When they go bad just replace them. Easy easy easy.

Your opinion is your opinion and if anyone disagree's that's there problem! !

I was a mechanic for 40 years ÷ and grease less bearing are the most cost-effective. Because most people grease bearings to much.

Also at manufacturer's what if one puts a sealed bearing into a place where the bearings need greased but the bearings has the seales on them and not a open bearing where it can be greased, next whats the sealed bearing greased with from the makers of bearings used. I prefer a carburetor over efi because of mantinance control on my part.

Learning lesson as we go because O know I don.t all the tricks of the trade on zero turn or lawnmowers. So any info is good😊

I have no problem with you saying you are impressed with a particular mower. However, that does not make it the best. It may be the best in some areas but to say just say” it’s the best” is over the top.

There's always the possibility of a competitor that is trolling you to discourge sales.

No matter what you do, you're not gonna please. Everybody Jesus hasn't been able to do it.

You should of said this is the “best mower for me “ case closed , people are sensitive to being told anything they can have a different opinion , now a days it turns out personal , not good info ,in anything in life !!

Like any tractor it’s all about the dealership. If you can’t get parts or work on your self I don’t need it.

You do not listen to one person, you do research. And if they do not like what you say don't listen. I see one of your videos from 2 years back and you have draped a lot of weight. enjoy your videos keep up the good work

I've heard more bad than good about the new cub cadet stuff back in the day they were good but since mtd bought them they've gone down hill

No you got it right! Have had mine for 5 years. Love it .They call it the Billygoat . My wife mowes now , She took it away from me.

It sounds like it’s the best off camber zero turn and it’s the best lawnmower to do a true zero turn lol like I said until I try one lol like they say, don’t knock it till you try it lol

Most reasons why cars to trucks do away with zerts is to replace parts and not for longevity use

Skip to 14 minutes for the good stuff 😂😂😂😂

Alright Steven Crowder haha

Must have broke down the same day !🤠

Brock talk mike Morgan I think he has one of them he said they hold good on the hills

I've been thinking about this review all day, well the one before this. I think the front wheels pulling, and a true zero turn is really something else. I mow about 10 acres a week, semi-commercially. I have a gravely, and used to have a scag. If either one of those made a mower with the features of the Cub you have, I'd sell my current one and buy it. I do a lot of hill work, and obstacle avoidance, those features would be phenomenal. What works for someone, doesn't work for everyone, and lawn mower bro's are worse than truck guys with chevy/ford/gmc. That said, I wouldn't buy a cub, because no one deals them around me, outside of HD and I want a service guy who knows everything and has all the parts on hand.

Your just a salesman yourself

Put a sock in it I like your pond

My former zero turn was a Cub Cadet. I had trouble with it and traded it in for a different brand, and the trade-in value was nearly worthless. However, I do respect your opinion.

I have a Pro Z 972SDL CC and it is a beast. Very heavily built and I have a lot of steep hillsides which it handles without a problem. 4 seasons in on very rough ground and zero problems and no loose parts, etc.

Sure wish there was a $15k mower that would compete with Ventracs ability to mow slope.

I do like your videos, simple man doing simple stuff. If I want an engineering conversation, I will pick a different channel. Turn the comments off, even before the video post. Some folks just want to gripe and that is all it is. Seems to be a 'deal' over the last few months. Sorry bud, please don't reply.

That was a great video

Have you considered seeing if you can get a Ventrac to play with?

Nice work brother

Well, Club Cadet may be a good mower but it certainly isn't the end all. No mower is the answer for every one simply because we all have different needs from residential, to rural. For me, I only run diesel powered ZTs. Have you noticed, most of the out door themed channels are up-talking Club Cadet, wonder why :)
