You've NEVER seen a ZERO TURN MOWER do THIS! (Yakta Mowers) 

So no one is ever allowed to start a new company? Interesting logic.

Name recognition is nothing unless you've let the advertising companies dupe you into thinking it's everything. In fact, quite often generic products are made by the exact same company who makes the name brand, often at the same factories and on the same machines. They just stick a different name on it and charge you more. If you're dumb enough to buy into their manipulations, that's on you.

@@joshuaburba1048It's even worse now. You think you like John Deere, but honestly you like the engine under the hood. That will be a Kholer, Briggs & Stratton and so on.

@@HARRYAZZHOLE Exactly right sir. Give me a Briggs and Straton engine any day. Those things are robust and reliable. I don't care what name is on the actual mower.

@timothystevenhoward there’s ass backwards logic and a little worse is back asswards logic, like yours right here….

Same here, many thanks!

Thanks for your time!

Thank you for the love!😂

Good to see you as always Brad! Hope to get out to Piney Grove this winter!!

I thought of Grasshopper and Walker, but they don't have quite the same product/application.

​​@@CopperCreekCuts what do you mean by they don't have the same product/application? You have a ZTR power plant that powers different implements. The prototype dolly system issue may be resolved by it folding up and latching into the back up of the power plant during transport mode. Just as Walker/Grasshopper's mowing decks fold up to conserve trailer space during transport.

Thanks for watching!!

Glad you could make it to the booth! Can't wait until you can see the final version.

Great point. The goal is for all our dealers to be able to maintenance our mowers, and have the best coverage of America as possible. Driving 200 miles for repairs should never be a reality.

Their booth displayed a claim of parts in 24 hours (I am going off memory, forgive me if the details or wording was slightly different). I asked them about it and the process was described as a possibility through the dealer or direct. If they don't have a way to get the part locally, they overnight it. Obviously details are lacking and that's where the devil is, but sounds like a genuinely good setup for the consumer.

That would be a good start. I'm also worried about the length. If the mower is going up the ramp and the dolly is flat on the road, there will be some nasty stress put on the hitch area.

That's definitely a way we can take it. Will pass this on to our engineers for the next version!

You can push the unit into the attachment, or drive it in. There may still be changes made by January, though!

Thanks for watching!!

Not in the standard zero turn footprint. Same with Walker/Swisher. All their models have permanent rear wheels that affect everything.

The rear wheel configuration is a way better option for everything because it gives you the ability to have a deck out in front of you to be able to trim under trees, trim ditches, contour cut, and easy maintenance with the deck being able to flip up with a push of a button. Also being able to have the rear wheels in the back helps on hills and makes them hug the ground better. The rear wheels help in wetter conditions because it is moving around on 6 wheels instead of 4. Another thing is you are able to put a 25 cubic foot bagger on them because those wheels are able to support the weight unlike a mid mount mower. The wheels also help with traction in reverse, grasshopper front mounts will get all the traction you need In reverse which is useful in ditches.

Very interesting concept. Will pass this on to our innovations team. I bet they'd love to take on this challenge.

Or stack them in the front of the trailer without taking up a ton of trailer space. Love it.

😂😁😂😁😂😁

Let me know the issues you anticipate! (I'm not trolling. I really want to know. Yakta is reading these comments and you may hit on a legitimate issue no one has yet thought about.) Thank you for watching and commenting!

100%. That's why that dolly is so important. I don't like the idea of faceplanting in a seat with a mower on top of me!😂

I agree on "not the first time someone made swapping decks" but I would argue from the traditional zero turn footprint it's the first time I've seen it. I looked up swisher response and don't see where it indicates it splits. It looks like a gen 2, though, so maybe gen 1 did and that is what you saw? I will research more and appreciate you pointing in that direction!

@@CopperCreekCuts the Gen one did indeed split. It had a strap and winch set up to attach the deck. I believe the gen2 still splits but I've not seen one in person.

And, you are correct. I didn't realize from the quick glance at the machine that it didn't have the extra set of wheels behind the 'tractor'. I saw the dolly and went from there. My bad.

No apologies needed. It's all semantics anyways. I saw a video on the Swisher on Stoney Ridge Farm. Neat machine, but swapping looked like a pain. Hopefully Yakta makes it quicker!

@@CopperCreekCuts I searched out that video this morning. You're correct, it didn't look as easy for him as the guy at the demo made it seem. I guess it takes practice. I've very intrigued by the possibilities with the yakta machine, however, I wish they could do something similar with a stand on machine. Did you get a chance to see the Altoz tracked machine with different implements? Any thoughts?

Interesting viewpoint. If you truly believe Toro is the best I won't refute it, but unless I have tried every mower (which is impossible) in every mowing condition (which is impossible) I am not sure you can claim one as being the best.

Brad they all have very bad issues I've seen like the Scan can't make a perfect cut because the Scan will scalp a yard there deck sucks my dad has a ferris it sucks in so many ways it ain't funny.

Toro owns Toro, Spartan, Exmark, Lawn Boy, ventrac in terms of anything that mows.

Yes Toro does own everything & what burns me bad is people like Brian Fullerton that thinks Exmark rocks well again Toro owns them he denies it & runs off the mouth like bla bla bla Brian's a waisted of time...

@@ryanfoley9999 I was just saying they don’t own bully goat, cub, Stanley black and decker and all the others you named. Personally I love seeing new products come to the market. It will push the industry and one of the up coming brands can be a big player in 5-10 years. They also offer a breath of fresh air for the dealers because so many times dealers are fed up with 1 or 2 of their brands.
