- I demoed a wright stander ZK 72 inch with dual wheels and got it stuck in mud. I wanted to test out this mower because of the deck size and the dual wheel option on steep banks.

I own multiple standers and a zto. I love them, they are tanks, ultra productive and the support from wright is phenomenal. I've had lots of other machines over the years but there's a reason my entire fleet is Wright now. I would love to try a dual wheel 72!
This mower will be the best choice for you Brian. I have a 2016 Wright with about 600 hours and it’s a beast I mean all Wright’s are bulletproof. I say get you one of those!
WORTH IT when I first looked at it my jaw dropped that would let the customers know who’s pro. Lol great vid
I got a 52 wright.. and for 2 years nothing has gone wrong with it. It's a beast of a mower basically a mini tank. 👍👍
There is definitely a practical use for this mower!!! Especially for a piece of cut that you are doing there for the city! We are buying one for a larger commercial lot we do and it is perfect for this type of application! We have ONLY ever been Wright mowers! Best product ever.
Haven't read comments, but with the acreage you mentioned, I would say Wright zx 72 like this, the duallys will help in the wet areas of the acreage, except for pot holes that swallow mowers like you found, LOL. I would think the hustler 104 would be a contender, but also definitely a Ventrac. I have seen a local school here with nearly a 40° 45° slope (in all seriousness) use the Ventrac, I watched the guy drive it from the bottom turn up the hill and go right on up no problem. The Hustler 104s and Ventracs are in the same price category, $23-$30k. But you have been saying you wanted to get more into landscaping and not just mowing....well with acreage, steep slopes, and for multipurpose machine, strongly consider Ventrac. For just mowing, this Wright would be the next step price wise before going into $20s Even at 104" I think $23-$30k is rediculous for a ztr. My 2.7 cents. Lol
That ZK is a beast of a mower. You can't ask for a better mower, dual wheels large deck, speed and it holds a large amount of gas. The ZK is a match for those fields. My company use Wright Standers and they are Awesome.
I have a Wright 52” and I could not be happier. The brand is more than reliable and by the sounds of it, you need a mower of that size.
Demoed a 52 and 61 from our dealer in VA for a whole week last Fall. Both units very maneuverable , tight and compact. Comparing one to the other was like comparing a F450 and an F650. huge difference. Ground speed was amazing and hugged a hillside. Only downsides I saw were 1) really need large acreage to mow quickly , our biggest property is only 12 acres. and 2) our guys use stand-on's for pushing huge piles of leaves in Fall. we currently run Toro Grandstands , that have a flat front deck you can push leaf piles with. The Wright has a 45 degree angle in front of deck, and constantly rode up on piles of leaves, did not push. Was a pretty big downside from my guys. Still is my decision and i will get one as soon as I have property size that can justify expense. (could of grabbed the ZK61 demo for 8500 with only 61 hrs on it) Those mowers are built tough and the originator of the stand on. Hours and keeping out in the weather is what kills those mowers. Might be nice to have a unit built for the job, but can leave at the shop a couple days of the week when not really needed, gain a couple years use out of it down the road.
That mower, for what your mowing is completely practical. I think you should consider purchasing one!😁
That mower is awesome!!! It will be very good for those large properties. I own a Wright Stander ZK and have never had a problem with it. Love the videos man!! Keep them coming
Since you have acquired a lot of big properties, don’t have any “big” mowers and it was able to go up those hills with such ease, I say go for it and buy one of those beasts! I didn’t realize you had gotten so many big properties, that’s awesome man!
It's does make sense. Thanks man.
When mowing large acres I would rather sit than stand. Jus my opinion.
I'm gonna need a half day demo before I can say get it brian😁😁....looks great ..can you arrange flights..hotel...and demo for us please....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻
For the acreage you described, you need this mower, looks very stable, and a sit on 72. The time savings over a 52 will be phenomenal.
I think the 72" will make a huge difference for you on those big properties and the stand on is pretty cool. We just got a 72" Bad Boy for some big stuff this year, cuts great so far. You're welcome to take it out for a test some time if you want.
Thanks man.
I think that you should buy one. There is a use for it.
I like larger mowing and most my mower are Exmark, but you had me sold on this new mower especially on them hills. 60 in cut sometimes still takes a while on my larger areas. 1 yard I mow 5 acres every two weeks and well, I would rather have that 72 or at least 2 of them. So yes, I would definitely buy it especially with all them acres you have to mow. I would suggest to get more than 1 for that large acreage. It just comes down to you would need a wider trailer to haul these mowers and just use that trailer for large acreage so you do not waste your time hauling the smaller mowers. Most the guys who own landscape companies around me know I like the larger yards vs them small ones they all like. I want to pick up larger yards and if I do, I would bump up to 2 72s.
I definitely think that mower is worth it. Especially for a hill like that. I always feel more comfortable going sideways on a hill opposed to straight up and down. Maybe give that a try next time start at the bottom and work your way up. Never letting your nose pointed down the hill. Pretty gnarly Hillclimb though. Keep up the good work thanks for all your videos
Seems like a beast of a mower, if your gunna be doing a lot more of this type of property, I would invest. The size of the deck and stability of it sold me on this type of property
That mower looks real nice and cuts nice also. Having a 72 inch deck will be a great help with those larger properties.
Looks pretty awesome! The engine seemed to keep up just fine going up the steep hill.
If you have the property that calls for it, go for it. Sweet machine.
I say go for it. Nice mower with a wide cut. It would be an awesome tool, especially with the acreage you have this year. Seems like the better option for the hills and your safety. Safety is always Top priority. You guys keep up the good work.
I think you should buy it! It looks like an awesome mower! 👍🏻👍🏻
I had one it’s the most bad ass more I’ve ever had you can literally drive it on any slope you can find in as long as you’re somewhat confident you can do it
Awesome addition to your Fleet. I live in a suburb of Atlanta where there are plenty of hils and they handle the hills with no problem.
If your comfort level is better on that Wright than on your current mowers YES buy it. Now as a matter of being practical, can the jobs you use it on pay for it and what other doors does it open for you.
If you plan to have larger accounts then the added deck width will really help you get through them faster And its badass
If you have all those large properties, I would say that this is very practical to get. Bigger mowers to get the job done faster
That looks like a very efficient mower for those types of accounts.
It is a beast on the hills you are finally wearing safety vests.
Buy it i have ridden one it is such a good mower does a lawns so much faster u can also buy a attachment where u can sit so it is very good
Your right, its quick also.
My wright with only 2 wheels is a beast on hills. If you have that much acreage with variable terrain and open mowing id say get the Wright all day long
Trust me . I had the ZK 61 for a week. I almost bought one but I’m only mowing two days a week this year so in my case it wouldn’t be a smart investment when I already have two v rides. I think the ZK blows the v rides out the park. Everything is bigger from the pumps to the engine. However if I was to mowing major acres like you started I may lean towards a 72 zero turn
It seems pretty stout.
You should only buy it, if you can justify the cost. Not for entertainment purposes. You're a family man and wonderful father. We subscribers will be fine with what you are working with right now. In my opinion.
From a guy that has been mowing for almost 30 years if you get the 72 get the duels the side of the deck that is on the inside of your turns will tend to cut lower than the outside of the deck making your wheel base wider will help with that. With that said I have never been impressed with the cut of any 72 I have used. I find that a 52 gives the best cut but if you need bigger a 60 is a good size. If you need bigger than that go with a grounds mower which may be what you need mowing 20+acres. With that said I like the old platform v ride or the toro grandstand because they will hold a hill going across the hill like no other that I have used. And if you get in a soft situation you can hope off quickly and give a little push and most the time avoid getting stuck.
doing city contracts, that wright will hold a mountain side would be a good addition to the fleet to do those contracts
Looks very practical to me man. If you have that many acres to mow I think I would want a zero turn. That's just me.
That Mower, you said it is a Beast... You where paying good attention to that Mud Hole, you could it avoid it, but No you had to get it stuck, for more Fun in the video, Great job thou ... Do Not think or hesitate, buy one on the spot, Wright is a great customer and engineer, family own business and support you will get at all times...
Customer Service First !!!
Dang that thing looks and seems to mow great. Those big properties should make it worth it and now you won’t hesitate to take on more large properties.
That hill is extremely steep and it handled it no problem. May be a bit overkill, but hey, if you like it and you feel safe on it, go for it!! I’d get one but they’re damn expensive
This mower is very practical for what you would use it for
That mower is worth the money
I am wanting to try one here where I live. We live around a lake area and everything around it is really steep. We are mowing with zero turn sit downs now. They do the job but safety is a big factor.
since you’ve got new properties that are so big and you’ve got this one that has this steep hill i think it would be a good choice to buy it. but i’m sure there’s a pretty price tag on it.
I would offer this, when buying a new mower also remember what you can get on the back end as well. That will really give you a better picture of the overall cost to you as supposed to simply looking at the purchase price. I know I have made this mistake before and realized later that resale is extremely important to remember when it comes to certain high dollar items.
I would say that would be a great mower for your new larger acreage yards/ fields with hills. It seems to go right up and down them fine.
I still like Walker mowers. I see the H27i or even the H38i with a S74 deck would also be one I would demo.
If the cut quality did not matter as much I might look at a Kobota L6060 Grand with a Rhino 2150 15' FLEX-WING ROTARY CUTTER.
That would give you better production and you could use the tractor in the winter with a Kage Snowplow for you big lots. Rhino are you and Kubota listening?
Yes! Get all the grass you can, reguardless! Get the in with the city/county. With all the different machines you do/could own, you'll be able to tackel anything. Don't just limit yourself to residential propertys. Lol, You may need more than one.
We mow government manufacturers, schools, large estates, and large apartments all the way down to what I call "postage stamp" accounts. I am intrigued by the stander 72 but I would only put it on smaller accounts. The reason why is that the physical beating you would go through mowing large properties. Believe it or not we use a 72 " on all the accounts but two. You pick what you feel is the best fit for your company. For us it has been Hustler Turf 72 inch, Dixie chopper 50 hp diesel and 36 hp gas 72 inch but the overall biggest production mower we have is the exmark 72" triton, this machine kills everything we have ever had . The Dixie 50hp takes it for thick bush hog work. By the way our Exmark 72 triton is eight years old and still is top dog. Good luck
That's the right tool for the job that highway cutting you need a 72 with excellent traction, BUY IT ASAP
Looks like a solid choice for that type of mowing at a good price point. Ferris has a 72" stander now but the dual wheels and it being a wright will probably be better on hills. Ferris seems to have a slightly better deck but the ZK would be my choice for what your doing.
PA Lawn Guy. Yes buy it , You need it for the lawn area you have chose for this season it you plan to take on these large and hilly types of jobs. But if this is just for this season you will have your too much of your profit in the equipment and will come up short for just one year.
That scag you got us my all time favorite mower. Such a Badass machine
They are great mowers. I have two. They get the job done fast!!!
Looks like a beast to me. Not too familiar with those but looks like it would get a big job done fast and on to the next one.
It looks like a game changer for you. Excellent mower!
I have a zero turn and a Toro stand on mower, I really like the stand on for slopes because if I get into trouble I can just step off. I once started sliding down hill on my zero turn and it stopped suddenly when it hit a tree stump, I was thrown out taking one of the steer levers with me and landed in blackberry brush. No fun, got pretty scraped up.
It’s a great mower for wide open areas... so I say yes... a couple three of them for all of your acreage that your mowing
Max tracks may be needed in the future mate. Great for 4x4s stuck in mud so it would work just as good in that situation too
This is the first time I've seen anyone mowing highway grass that wasn't a farm tractor and shredder.
In my opinion if those are the biggest hills you have then the dual wheels aren't necessary. Just get the 12 inch wide wheels with the 72 inch deck and you will be golden and you will save some money.
You need to try a ztr sometime, they do pretty good on hills because you are on the middle of the mower and not the back
Bigger property means diesel engine mowers we run Grasshopper they can take the heat of longer mowing time and give you more years of service
Clean Cuts Lawn Service of LA LLC I agree. we run Kubota Diesel ZD mowers. Good fuel economy too
I have used these mowers daily and would take it over the walkers, definitely a quality machine!
Its practical how long did you have to think about it or decided it whether to get it or not
Practical for large lawns yes. Heck if you want to mow a lawn in under a minute just get this thing
I believe you can use it for big properties and if you can buy it with the 4 wheels and then take 2 off if you need to
Knowing Wright I doubt it’s a show mower haha. It seems practical and I think you should consider it!
I think you need 3 of them, lol all cutting with 72, you can also get a 72 for the walker
Look at 72 inch grasshopper mowers, we use one on the family farm to do the lawn, verges and tracks
I think it‘s perfekt for the big properties and the Hills. Buy that Beast👍🏻
Awesome video man!! Always enjoy watching them and long time viewer! Have you heard of the ventrac mower because that mower is a beast but pretty expensive. I recommend the gasoline engine option on those because he diesels have a problem with overheating
I don't know if you should buy one of those or if you should try a Cub Cadet zero turn with the steering wheel on the Hills they're very nice
U should buy one especially with these bigger accounts and there is a use for them, also if u are on a hill and u do not put on brake it will slowly move it will not just go.
man she worked well up those hills could be a good asset there
I am glad things are going great for you. Good luck
With the acreage you are doing now You need this for efficiency. Happy pondering its only money 💰 lol
Jeff Pratt That’s why I recommend the Hustler 104
Impressive mower! If your doing hills like that, then I'd buy one for the mower arsenal ..?...
You should buy one. Would serve you well. Maybe one day, you should demo a Toro Grandstand
You can get a dual rear wright with a sit down option, they've got them, huge acreages your going to need a ventrac or a sit down of some sort, standing will do damage to your body in time.
I love these Wright mowers saw 1 on another you tube chanel last year
Brian i think you can buy a ventrac 4500 better for your own and crew safety you can also use other equipment on your ventrac for other jobs a boom mower for the ventrac is comming this year so its a realy good machine for your landscape buisnis
I don’t know a lot about wright mowers
But I do know from running scag mowers for 15 years that the turf tiger will hold any hill with ease. With the bigger acreage you have the bigger the deck the better. Its only gonna save you time and money to go with a bigger deck.
The stander however I think is safer because if you had to you can bail off off it faster vs a sit down mid mount mower.
I want a stander for that reason and the 72 is pretty big.
If I was doing big lots like that with the steep hills I would get one. Need the right tools for the job. With that being said you need the accounts and the work to support the purchase.
Also the safety aspect of it, is it safe to do those hills with the mowers you have?
Looks like it does really good on those hillsides
I would absolutely buy that or one just like it assuming you have the properties you said it would be the perfect for the job
Go for it man it looks like a beast👍👍
that's an awesome mower.....I think it would only be practical if you are mowing huge areas with a limited amount of trees and other obstacles to go around......what you need to work out is will it pay for itself the 1st year of using it.....if not....then its not really practical for your current operation and clients......its a great fast mowing machine though!!
I agree. I believe wright also has a 60" deck dual wheel that might be slightly more versatile for the properties that you currently do. However, if you are trying to make these bigger properties a Staple of your business, then it might be worth the investment. Love your videos. PS please tell me that those head phones have ear protection and aren't just "noise Cancelling" Get yourself a pair of 3M Worktunes, your ears will thank you in a few years when your hearing is still intact.
With the acreage you are mowing I think a sit down mower would be more practical. Something like a Ventrac. Not only could you use it to mow but it would aid you on your landscaping side as well. A ventrac would not be as fast but I believe they have a large deck available than a 72". I do not think you should buy the Wright. But it is your decision.
Here is a video Stan Genetic did with the ventrac, I'm not trying to support Stan's channel but he did a factory tour and operated the mower on a 45 degree slope. th-cam.com/video/g5BPno0LRoY/w-d-xo.html
Get Whatever is comfortable to you, and that will help you get the jobs done quicker.
For huge areas like shown here. Why not get a Hustler 104? And use the 52’s on the steep stuff.
If you are thinking about bigger properties and steep slopes, you should demo a Ventrac. There's nothing else like it! (Other than Steiner)
Do you prefer riding mowers or standing mowers
Yes, you said you have got some good acreage this year, if not this one, then you need a big deck mower in your fleet to make this happen.
Brian... with all of that acreage, standers are going to get very tiresome. Look at a large Ferris zero turn with shocks and springs all around, a 72 inch deck, and a 36 hp motor or even the diesel model. Or, go with a 4 wheel drive compact tractor with a big deck, for the best hill climbing and a real anti-mud fighter.
What are you really needs for them big properties it's about a 45 horse tractor and a 9 foot pull behind finish mower
Drew, I agree your suggestion is even better yet, but is really getting spendy, for new equipment. Plus you are losing some of the close in trimming capability that you could still have with my several suggestions.
Agreed , large standers seem kinda silly.
the kubota f3990 has 4wd 39hp front mounted mowers with decks size of 54'',60''74''100'' wide
It’s a shame wright discontinued the Sentar line. They were pretty much like a ZK with a saddle seat on a shock absorber. Now the only saddle mowers they have are the sport which only has a small gas tank.
Get a Ventrac 4500 that way you can change decks and attachments opening up more opportunities
Or for properties like that a Kubota F3690 front cut mower
Still great cut, 4wd plus more deck options
You should demo one of the 12 foot ground master mowers. For a time saver.
How long would the property take to complete with what you already own? Someone mentioned getting a tractor with a 9' finish mower. The tractor would open many more money making opportunities with the multitude of attachments such as a stump grinder.
What a beast!!! If I had a bigger yard I think Wright would be my choice...
