Just got the craftsman version of this yesterday, mowed my lawn and a customers lawn already. Love it, got the inspiration to finally get one from your video about taking my business to the next level. Better mower will soon equal better yards and customers. thanks
Was thinking of maybe getting this mower but after watching several videos of it in operation i think i am much better off keeping my Toro Timemaster !!
Heel/Toe Express Boyee!! Making money in every step. Man that front yard was screaming for you to rock out a diagonal stripe on it... Beautiful property all around Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!! #broinlawns!!
Big Son's Lawncare Great value for a starter business not looking to go crazy on buying a stander for backyards. 33in cut for about $1300. It no doubt has its faults, but it’s a great mower👍🏼
@@tbytchannel1it’s amazing how this is a $2200 mower these days, I got one when Cub switched from the 760 to the cc800, basically the same mower, and it was around $1200
@@brandonhuck6810 well it's 20 years old and still going when I sold it. Idk how long it was used commercialy before or after me but I out it through a year and a half of use
Have you tried to add the sully to help out with it? I have the same one you have and love it! I too would like to add a stand on wheels for it. Great video
You want the tires turning when you’re going on a turn? It’s a light weight residential unit… so yeah you readjust yourself but It was never an annoyance
Not hard at all…. however after having this for two seasons using it more than it’s intended for (it’s a homeowner unit) I’ve had to replace the driveline twice as the cable becomes worn from excessive use.
IMO these mowers are too much of a hassle to operate. mainly because there’s no “throttle”, when you pull that drive lever it’s going full speed into whatever gear you have it set to. and when you let go it stops and the gears lock up. maybe I just didn’t give the one I had enough time but it really just seemed more difficult than use a self propelled pushy
Yeah all the lever does is tension the belt with a pulley, so you can modulate it a bit. But it's nothing like the control you get with a pistol grip belt drive commercial.
@@frankposterello1628 It's for my house and I've seen the prices on commercial mowers LOL. It was between this and the Toro Time Saver but I think just because of the ease of use the Time Saver wins. Even though it's 3 inches smaller. Thanks for your comment.
Hello I am a 12 year old looking for a new mower. I have been in the bisuness for about 2 years and I have to money to get a new mower. Ive heard that this is a good mower but im not sure if im gonna be able to turn it ect. Would I fit this mower?
I am interested in this unit. My front yard slopes toward the street. I can negotiate it with my Husqvarna 22 inch AWD walk behind and want to know how the caster wheels would work on this hill. I want to cut at a diagonal if I can or straight across from side to side. Will the Cub Cadet tend to slide sideways downhill?
It’s pretty much all about your ability to not allow the mower to overwhelm you. With 4 different forward moving speeds, just don’t go to fast on a hill. You should be fine.
This was mulched. We commonly went back and forth depending on yard as cut quality was great both ways, just different grasses demanded a different cut.
Tried, and no dount you could if you put on your own bracket (doesn't come standard)... but in my OPINION, I am a little over 150lbs, and it seems like my weight on the sulky is warping/bending the metal of the machine.
@@tbytchannel1 thanks for the quick response. So you’re saying that your body weight starts to flex/ bend the metal of the actual lawn mower where the bracket would be connected?
@@JAYCONWAY Yessir. Not to terribly that I think if you’re lucky you can get away with it... but I wouldn’t trust it mainly in my area of bumpy lawns. With bumps I assume it would shake the bracket/metal to bend/brake it easier. I have a video on our instagram page of attempting to use a sulky on it. @tjlawnservice on IG

Hey I use the old troy bilt 33" mower (basically the same thing lol) it's what started my company. Great video 🤙
How long did it last with the commercial use?

I actually did, yeah… however me being about 160lbs, I just don’t think the thin metal on this unit can support pulling that much weight🤷🏼♂️
Great video
Do the hand controls work like a Bobcat or Scagg? When you let go of the self propel with the left hand do both wheels stop or just the left one?
Both wheels stop. One lever engages blades, one lever engages the self propel. Wheels work together
Like an Ariens snowblower?
Can you do a video on how to change that setting in the br 800 c
Sure! Here you go... th-cam.com/video/XVxI_1z2SYo/w-d-xo.html
What type of rack is that for your pas attachments?
Could you do more real time mowing footage
Logan Simpson Only two weeks left of the season, but I’ll see what I can do👍🏼
Do you have to constantly release the left Handel for turning?
That looks like a failure point constantly doing that.

Jus slow down it cuts better and you don't have to hear that annoying slap its Jersey fast paced and looney lol I should I grew up in freehold.
That left hand control looks brutal. How hard is it to operate? Thanks for the vid.

Is that a sulky connection on the back?
Looks like when you partially release the left handle you can slow it down a bit? Is that the case?
Don’t have this mower anymore, but if I remember correctly, that is not the case. It does have different speed settings however

@@tbytchannel1 whyd you get rid of er?
@@mistermeltz business upgraded to commercial mowers as we took on more work.

If your main concern is being able to turn it, don't worry... it is not a super heavy mower! Good luck man!
@@tbytchannel1 thankyou :) where could i purchace one in the mean time?
@@cord7951 The only place I know for sure sells them is Tractor Supply. Try googling the model or even looking it up on Cub Cadets website!

Was this mulched or side discharge?
This was mulched. We commonly went back and forth depending on yard as cut quality was great both ways, just different grasses demanded a different cut.
Would it be possible to hook a sulky up to this?
Tried, and no dount you could if you put on your own bracket (doesn't come standard)... but in my OPINION, I am a little over 150lbs, and it seems like my weight on the sulky is warping/bending the metal of the machine.

@@tbytchannel1 just watched it and also started following you. Thanks for all the info.
If it would mow about 3.5 inches I’d buy one
It does👍🏼
@@tbytchannel1 cub cadet website says it’s 3.5.
I heard that those mowers their flooded when you trailer them is that true and second question can you put a Soakie behind it?
Not sure what you mean by the first question, but no I wouldn’t recommend a sulkie on this machine.
Yes you can but you need to fabricate a bracket because the shifter is were the sulky should attached but a bracket beneath the shifter works amazing.
Iny meny I’m going with the 800 😂
Funny thing is I sometimes default to the 700
TJ Lawn Service oh 😂
That left handed transmission engagement is why I won't buy this
why?? you right handed?
@@pierreverdoni yup. I can't do anything with my left hand 😂
first
What's the purpose of this video?
to annoy you. guess it worked
