If you haven't tried a Proslide, it is a far superior design to the traditional 1 or 2-wheel sulkies IMO. I truly believe they are safer, more efficient, take up less space, keep the operator in a more natural position behind the controls, act as a stripe kit, and on and on. Highly recommended!!!
Just so you know...I find the shop talk, the product installation, and the general banter more interesting than watching the mowers go back and forth. That's what I do all day myself. But you're pretty good at the information stuff so that's what i look for. I'm not a big fan of the music and boredom of mowing videos, sure, some is ok but your real strength IMHO is your communication skills. Look forward to your next installment....
Thanks for the feedback. Allot of people like the mowing more and allot of people like the other stuff like you said so the best thing to do is both. I try to keep it a decent mix
@@CountrysideStrong i just sent you a message about helping you out. I think you're in a diff state though. I'm in Indianapolis IN. I HAVE SPACE TO HELP Out any decent people that do high end manicures on lawns. Redundant if you're not where I am.
Gridiron has been around for a long time, I had some of their aluminum fluted rack setup back in like 2003 almost 20 years ago. Was good stuff I don't know why I don't see them much anymore. They were good design very adjustable and aluminum never rust
Selling the old sulky for cheap? Jk I doubt my lil 28" world lawn walk behind would pull it. Buuuuut it's still better than push mowing and I got a killer deal off fb because the owner couldn't get it to run right. Linkages for the choke and throttle were both hooked up wrong. Flip em around and she runs perfect. Debating grabbing a briggs 15.5 from a donor mower and putting that engine on if I can get it freed up. It'd be electric start instead of pull start too if I do it. Thanks for the content man. Appreciate it.
You have a 28in Worldlawn? Where are you? A lot of people seem to use those around Houston. A lot nimbler than an Exmark 30, but not as heavy as a 32 walkbehind. How do you like it?
@@Axel-tk3tk I'm in California. I've only used it once on my small front yard and a tiny patch of a field behind my house. Fairly impressed with it in the field part honestly. I'd rather have a 32" stand on but not worth the expense as I'm only mowing relatives yards now.
Randy that plate is a backing plate. It goes on the opposite side of the engine deck. It helps strengthen the mount so you don’t rip off the back of the engine deck.
Hey Randy I know this vlog is a few years old but I was wondering your thought on that Scag swzt for someone cutting 15-20 lawns/week? I have been running exmark TT for about 20 years now and their cost have outpaced my wallet so I was looking for a decent change of pace.
just a heads up, ive had one of these pro slides. when i had mine i went to go drive down into a drainage ditch to mow (it was a short, steep drop in) well i should have gotten off the pro slide, and i didnt. so when i went down the short slope into the ditch i fell backwards pretty hard. this is because the pro slide slung forward on me (it folded up) and washed out right under me, whereas a regular sulky is just in a fixed position, so it wouldn't do that. definitely scared the crap out of me as i couldve knocked myself out, or worse slid under the mower. i actually did like the pro slide, but i just wanted to mention this so you or your kid didn't get hurt.
I've seen very similar things happen with wheeled velkes too. I've actually seen them break someone's ankle. It's like anything else, a little common sense goes a long way. Any inclines I've always stepped off. Riding it down, wheeled unit or other, you're asking for problems
I shouldn't ride it in here because that's a no, no but... This is how we dooo it!! That Pro Glide looks so cool Man. I hope it works out for you. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns!!
Zip tie those front caster pins. I had one fall out on a property and didn't realize it until I put the mower on the trailer and the front caster fell off. Haha. I found the pin the next week on that property.....after I purchased new ones from the dealer.
The plate is a backing plate to strengthen your machine body.... Scags are tanks so you are prob fine without it. You are supposed to sandwich the mower body between the 2 metal mount plates
4:50 Austin Powers😀think I'd be fabbing up a by-fold gate on the front drivers side of the trailer or at least a small tail gate so, you can maneuver the mower easier🤷♂️
I love mine. The pro slide don't jar me as much. I have it on my 36" Bobcat hydro, floating deck. Oh I have scrape steel plates on the front caster arms. I imagine 30lbs. It pulls my 317 self no problem.
Looking forward to your review of the Pro Slide XL. I was going to buy one for my SWZT36 but I read somewhere they didn’t recommend them for decks under 48 inches. Not sure why? If it works well for you, I will definitely consider purchasing one for my mower. I currently run the 2 wheel Wright velke, which is awesome for me.
Believe it or not in the several years of mowing, I have never used a sulky. Think it’s worth going with a pro slide or a regular standard sulky? Both my mowers do have the sulky hitch on them already from the previous owner
I’m just waiting for the day for one of Spencer’s or your videos to get demonetized because of the background radio we already know how TH-cam feels about these channels👍🤞
Does it feel any different than a sulky with wheels? It looks like it would have a bit different feel to it (I'm asking early in this video so, sorry if you answer this)
They're $26 at any Napa AutoZone or advance if you go on the website for power shoot it'll give you the part number it would cost more for you to buy it from me and me to ship it then if you just went and got one
Here's the link to the ProSlide XT if anyone is interested. I'm in now way affiliated, it's just where it came from.

Really like my Pro slide it saves the hips bought mine same place the dude is great on helping if u need
I sold mine right away. Wasn’t a fan

Slick! Can’t wait to see footage of it in action!
There will be allot 👍

Would be cool to see a mini side gate!
That would be nice
Cool video! We hope you enjoy the ProSlide XT and it get's some good use this season.
Thank you
Randy that plate is a backing plate. It goes on the opposite side of the engine deck. It helps strengthen the mount so you don’t rip off the back of the engine deck.
Thanks
I think that black plate mounts behind the mower plate so it will support the weight of the driver. Those two bolts will bust through overtime.
Watch today's video it'll be up soon
if you keep that trailer arrangement, might have to think about adding a side load option to the trailer to make it easier to load and unload the 36
That's a good idea
I think that plate goes on the inside for extra support I think they had a cracking issue on the mower
That would make sense

It was ok. The problem was it was way too light and loved to pop up in the front
Should move the trimmer rack and put a curbside gate on😎
I've thought about that
Looks cool , hopefully it dont dig in the ground when turning, from the side of the slide, I'm curious to see how it works out for u .
From what I see from others that doesn't happen. We'll see
just a heads up, ive had one of these pro slides. when i had mine i went to go drive down into a drainage ditch to mow (it was a short, steep drop in) well i should have gotten off the pro slide, and i didnt. so when i went down the short slope into the ditch i fell backwards pretty hard. this is because the pro slide slung forward on me (it folded up) and washed out right under me, whereas a regular sulky is just in a fixed position, so it wouldn't do that. definitely scared the crap out of me as i couldve knocked myself out, or worse slid under the mower. i actually did like the pro slide, but i just wanted to mention this so you or your kid didn't get hurt.

We love our proslide on our turf tracer
👍👍
U think it's better than jungle wheels? I have a turf tracer and don't really like the jungle wheels anymore
I shouldn't ride it in here because that's a no, no but... This is how we dooo it!! That Pro Glide looks so cool Man. I hope it works out for you. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns!!
I think it'll be sweet

I've never had that happen over the years. They're much cheaper at tractor supply by the way
😄 yeah definitely should went to TS. I dunno I must turned around in a shrub or something.
That thing is gonna stripe really good now.
Hell ya
Time for a Side ramp on that trailer pal.......Perfect for the 36
Allot of people said that. It would be cool
The plate is a backing plate to strengthen your machine body.... Scags are tanks so you are prob fine without it. You are supposed to sandwich the mower body between the 2 metal mount plates
That's what I'm gonna do
Thats a sweet set up!!!
Thank you
Hey Randy I see a trailer modification coming real soon with a side ramp
What do you mean
I think he should get a trailer with a side ramp!
Maybe one day
4:50 Austin Powers😀think I'd be fabbing up a by-fold gate on the front drivers side of the trailer or at least a small tail gate so, you can maneuver the mower easier🤷♂️
👍👍
I'm thinking a side gate on passenger side that way it folds down into the yard instead of the road
I'll send you some Ford decals to add to your trucks 🤣
I'll burn them on live TV
@@CountrysideStrong 🤣🤣
Great name Noah!!!!!
👍👍
I love mine. The pro slide don't jar me as much. I have it on my 36" Bobcat hydro, floating deck. Oh I have scrape steel plates on the front caster arms. I imagine 30lbs. It pulls my 317 self no problem.

I've never seen that
Proslide has been around as long as Velke😁
That's what I hear
That plate goes on the under side of the mower it adds strength.
Yup, watch today's video when it goes up later. That wasn't gonna happen but I know that's what it's for
I wanted to try one of those for my Bobcat walk behind. Don't think ill get a chance now that I have the Gravely version of your 52" Greatdane.
We'll see how it turns out. Seems pretty cool so far
That should work great! Just wondering if it will help with the stripes in the grass!
They say it does
Good stuff, looking forward to your opinion on proslide.
Thanks
Great video
Thanks
Time to get after it man!
Yes sir
Believe it or not in the several years of mowing, I have never used a sulky. Think it’s worth going with a pro slide or a regular standard sulky? Both my mowers do have the sulky hitch on them already from the previous owner
Sulky.
I don't have cable either but I do pay $75.00 mo. For internet. TH-cam I cast to the TV.
I do the same with TH-cam
Have you considered adding electric start to the scag 36 ? I looked and found a few starters you can buy for the Kawasaki FS 481v for about $100.
Nah it's a very limited use machine. If it was a machine I use allot then yes
Pretty cool
Thank you
That’s a neat idea but I can see where that could be dangerous..
Anything can be dangerous, especially in this field. A little common sense goes a long way. Sadly today's generation is lacking it big time....
I’m just waiting for the day for one of Spencer’s or your videos to get demonetized because of the background radio we already know how TH-cam feels about these channels👍🤞
Yea it's crazy I can't believe that hasn't happened. It did when it caught my radio in my truck one time
Does it feel any different than a sulky with wheels? It looks like it would have a bit different feel to it (I'm asking early in this video so, sorry if you answer this)
Completely different but in a good way
Looks much cleaner
Thanks
Why don’t you just put the walk behind the other way then the pull cord is on the other side
Machine has been gone for months
The scag 36 doesn’t have a key start
Nope
Can i buy one of them power shoot motors from u? I want to try and mod and wiper motor out of it for my utv
They're $26 at any Napa AutoZone or advance if you go on the website for power shoot it'll give you the part number it would cost more for you to buy it from me and me to ship it then if you just went and got one
Is that the Niagara river 👍
Yup
How does it handle with dog poo
I already sold it
@@CountrysideStrongsold the proslide?
@@Jimw82 yea that’s been gone
No idea why I still haven't installed a proslide on my swzt.
I think it'll be nice
