Can’t wait to see that thing in action! One thing I did notice is what gauge of cable they used for the parking brake. I have seen so many cable components that are too small and have a tendency to break. That alone is a little thing that will help in the long run! 💪🏻👍🏻
Ha, totally agree with the decals! Those D-rings on the mower are a nice touch, I like that. I like the metal plates with the logo cutouts too. Sometimes, it’s the small things. I think the top speed is 13mph.
Yes you’re correct, top speed 13mph. When I recorded this video that stat was no where to be found. The logo cutouts are so sick! I hope that trickles down to all of their mowers. Thanks for tuning in buddy!!
@@mithgo_outdoor Yeah I’d like to see those cutouts on their other mowers too, man. My big ‘W’ sticker on the gas tank fell off pretty quick, just ordered other one. Stay safe brother.
I like how they keep the overall length down by not exagerating the deck front baffle area and keeping the front and rear tires close to the deck. I also like the integral wet brake and the lower center of gravity by inverting the clutch and hydro drive pulley on the crankshaft allowing the top of the engine to be almost lower that the top of the rear tires. I wish they had a double deck lift, reduced the tail swing, and lowered the operator seating position to be less like the Dixie Chopper high ride seating position.
You bring up many great points! Also, the seating position is higher due to the long travel suspension system. I too thought it was high, but after looking underneath the seat and also being on it there is really no more room that they could've shaved off. It's a much more comfortable ride than other ZTR's I've been on. thanks for tuning in, hope you have a great day!
Those machines are drop dead gorgeous. So well engineered and crafted. I would of liked seeing a side by side set of photos of Before & After pics with and without the decals on your mowers. ;-) I would think that YES the manufacturers do it for 'Safety' but I believe they do it more so for their Financial Safety. i.e. Lawsuits I remember when I was a teenager in the early 1970's and my Dad acquired a couple of 1940-50's Self Propelled Old School Reel Mowers. Talk about an UN-Safe machine. (but Fun) No warnings. Only my Dad strongly telling me to pay attention because it will get away from you....lol
you're right, they did their homework and designed a great looking machine. A lot of the warning decals were repetitive and of course to protect company liability. That's a no brainer. We live in a day and age where we have to warn people not to do something that is common sense lol. Like "hey, don't stick your hand under the mower deck with the blades engaged!"
"Beefy" counter = 6, Mower looks really "Brawny". I've never owned a Wright but that thing has to weight a ton.. Good luck with the vinyl sticker 3/4 of an inch below the muffler. You definitely have the top of the line mower setup.. Love the videos.
For your comfort issue, I believe Ed has mentioned that once you put dual wheels on there, you can lower the tire pressure pretty low because the weight is distributed along 4 wheels instead of 2. The dual wheels should actually be more comfortable.
Hey Nathan, I had duals on my ZK72 both air and Tweels. Dual rear tires are more aggressive on turf and cause more turf damage than a single rear tire. I don't want to put duals on the ZXT because the 26x14 rear tires are beefy enough. Thanks for tuning in!
@@motivationnation4390 Thanks so much man. I am really enjoying creating these videos. I wish I'd started a channel several years ago..oh well. Have a good one!
Bro., under the seat you have a loose wing nut handle on the righthand side if you're staring at mower. Just in case you're missing it & go crazy looking for it. It is a freakin Dope a$$ mower though!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns!!
Thanks for the video Mitchell! Great content. I am in the market for a new mower. I have been running Exmark for the most part. I like the cut quality but now interested in the Wright ZK because of the power plant options. How is the cut quality on the ZK and is it to big for the small residentials (61 inch cut)? Thanks I value you input! I am from Greenville NC and solo owner/ operator. Long story but love it.
Thanks bud, really appreciate ya tuning in! I just got done watching your video on the IRS Form 4136...great info for people and I'm sure a lot don't even know about it.
Nice video as always! What made you move into a sit down mower? Was it a comfort thing? I have all sit downs, walker b and ferris. Never tried stand ons, they don't seem to be that popular where I am. Thanks for any feedback.
There were a lot of features that attracted me to the ZXT. I also did not need a dually stander anymore since I wasn't servicing as many retention ponds. I love a stand on mower and they're becoming ever more popular here. I definitely recommend demoing one.
Why do you use Wright as opposed to the other big dogs? Does Wright make a ZXT with a 31hp EFI motor? I like the features of this 40hp model but don’t need the extra power.
Hello, I chose to purchase Wright Mfg mowers for many reasons. The top two reasons were 1) excellent build quality and 2) dealer support. The ZXT is only offered with the 40hp Vanguard on all 3 mower deck sizes - 52, 61, & 72.
Vince, I've only used it twice so far and it's worked great. I can't speak on the topic of different types of grass because most of what I cut is fescue, Bermuda or weeds and it's been perfect. It uses the AeroCore deck from Wright Mfg and if you know anything about that deck, it's the same.
Hello Alex, in my video description scroll down until you see Dttach Mfg, click on the link and you'll be directed to their products. MLC10 will save you 10% off of your order.
There are many factors that go in to that! Definitely demo first so you can make up your mind. I also uploaded a video to the channel a few months back about that topic, you should check it out!
@@coopershea2457 I would suggest visiting your local Wright dealer and see about demoing both a stander and ZTR. I think you would find out rather quickly which you prefer.
Hello Victor, check out www.wrightmfg.com; click on Buy a Mower; click on Prices and Discounts; all up to date pricing for all mowers will be listed. Have a great day.
It is a beast of a mower. How good does it handle on hillsides 5-15 degrees? I am moving back to northeast Tennessee in tri cities by kingsport in another year or two to look after my elderly 82 year old father. Thinking about buying me another nice zero turn rider to cut lawns for families in his neighborhood and older folks who go to the senior center that he belongs to. If I do not get a wright I might buy a ferris,hustler or a scag with shaft driven deck.
Don't you won't something bigger. Farris has a 48 horse 🐴 cat diesel 72 inch 35000.00 dollars. Before tax. You know that they say if you won't to be a Bear 🐻 be a grizzly.
Hey if I built mowers I would put stickers on them as too many idiots in our society unfortunately need warning labels to keep tgem from seriously hurting themselves. I use to cut for 12 to 14 families every summer in my much younger years from 20's into very my early 50's. I enjoyed cutting grass. I didn't need a bunch of safety stickers to know how to safely operate a big commercial grade mower. My grandfathers taught me at age of 9 to 10 in the mid 1970's how to drive a riding mower and do so safely. It never surprised me that many people do not have enough common sense to operate power equipment. My dumb buddy put my 3w" walk behind mower down into a 3.5' deep dirch. Luckily both of us use to lift heavy weights so we're were able to lift the 450 lb mower out of the ditch. That buddy has a computer science degree and he knew everything about repairing vehicles. He just didn't have a clue how to operate power equipment.
@@harolddenton6031I know why they put them on there, but I don't need them because I'm not the idiot you describe. I think it's sad that we have to warn people to use common sense, but that's the world we live in unfortunately. Again, I spent the money on therefore I'll do with it as I please. It's not meant for anyone else to use but me. I promise not to stick my hand under the deck when the blades are engaged! lol
