Depends. A rider, or the newer standing riders that are designed like a rider with the big tires actually have less pounds per square inch then a walk behind, a push mower, or your own feet ( with the proper air pressure of course).
Hey Pete can you do a video on how to cut lawn along a fence line, what’s the best way to turn around near the fence with the lawnmower. And how you keep your lines so straight?
yea , you also your blade height changes when you are in the grass, so when you set blades at 3.5 inches on drive way you can also lose inch or more. i find it easier to find your setting when you mow Start high and lower till you get the right height and look at where the mower says.
I was like you for awhile had 1 brand and didn't want to switch but then my dealer talked me into getting scag and hands down the cleanest cut ive ever used makes me wanna try other brands but now I don't want to switch. Nice mower congratulations
Pete, I know you said you have no clue how to do color grading but, just like you, there are people on TH-cam that go through editing software and color grading in those programs.
Can you do more videos with this mower. I’ve been thinking about buying one and would like as much info as possible. There’s not many videos around this model.
my dream would be to mow your yard, that just looks so enjoyable haha, I have maybe one client who I redid the entire property with and that is the only property that is perfectly smooth and purpose built for ease of mowing
Hey Pete, wish you would make a "keep this stuff on hand" video. So many times I try to follow along but don't have the products needed. Usually that means I simply skip the step. If you could make a video of the things us homeowners should consistently keep on hand to be more successful. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for all you do Pete. I really mean that.
@@MattWeaver909 I'm sure there are some out there that would fit, but I haven't any ideas. Just a thought that having a more rounded edge could work better. I believe Gravely's front wheels are pretty rounded.
Pete. Why don't you put mulching blades and a mulch plug on your mower? The more cut up the clippings the faster they decompose back into the yard. And it tends to work well on leaves which are really great for the yard. Also, when it comes to getting the color right on the camera you need to match your white balance to the lighting conditions. Sunny, cloudy etc.
Yup, my Craftsman Pro Series 26hp/54" at its top setting is just under 4". It's a clear difference of my backyard than my Honda HRN that appears to be around 4.5", but I haven't measured it yet but it looks like about 1" difference. I just got it a couple months ago. I plan to adjust the rider up to at least 4". TTTF in VA. switched to your GCI TTTF as the overseeing this fall and much better germination than any box store stuff. I bought a small bag of Scott's TTTF to fill in a couple spots and I don't think half of it grew. Please sell smaller bags, if it's worth it on your end. Thanks.
Pete.... Wright is very particular about the yellow on their mowers. Color looks spot on that mower in this video to me. Not sure about your Fescue though , what do you think?
Congrats on the new mower! Heres a question..... How often do you run a string trimmer on your yard, if at all? The only time I see you use one in videos is when you are defigning beds. I have gone to a "less is more" aproach this summer and havn't looked back. Thanks Pete!
I’m curious if you alleviated the clumping issue. I’ve had 2 Wright velkes a 48/19hp then a 52/23.5hp the 52 was much better but both clumped a fair bit. Are you running a northern turf baffle ? Love the velke though best walk behind built.
@@GCITurf yes at one time, john deere is now made in North Carolina. I also heard that Wright uses the same paint system as jd. I spoke with a rep from Chicago area, a few months ago didn't get the warm fuzzy feeling he wanted to sell me a mower, he likes corporate accounts
Thanks Pete, great video on that mower. Wright mowers are made not far from where I live. I have question on die out on top of a sand mound every summer? Should I add top soil or what or is that just normal?
Not gonna lie, we know Wright makes good equipment. That being said we purchased a Wright 48 velke walk behind in March of 2019. To this day its broken 17 deck belts, had the wiring harness replaced as one time the belt ripped the wiring out as it broke, the spindle fell off while it was running, the clutch burnt up. Meanwhile all of this has been repaired and documented at our dealer who is dropping the Wright brand after this. They are fed up with wrights customer service. Now wrighta brilliant idea is to warranty the deck out, if this happens again we plan on suing Wright for the initial purchase amount and the money lost for the down time we have had which is about a week to three weeks every time this pile of junk blows up. Heads up good luck and I hope you have better luck.
I’m sorry you have had a bad experience with them. No matter how good a company is, no company or their product is perfect. I hope you find a brand that works very good for you!
Pete, I went to your website to look at the lawncare guides for cool season grass. It does say that the guides are "BRAND NEW" but I am not sure if that is a holdover from 2020 or are these the updated guides for 2021? Since I have already bought your guides do I get the upgrades by using a coupon code? If so, what is that coupon code? If not, how do I get those guide updates for free as you said in this video? If the lawncare guides are not your updates when do you anticipate those updates being available for download? Thank you, Pete, for keeping us up on the latest lawncare practices.
Shouldn't you measure the mowing height with the machine on turf rather than on concrete? I'm thinking with the weight of the mower, the tires may sink down a bit.
Hey pete got a ? Who’s is your weight mower dealer I have been interested in buying a weight mower for a couple years now I can’t find a dealer in here in VA I am not that far from NC I am over in South Boston VA I really want a dealer that is good to work with I really don’t want a exmark mower because I am not really that impressed with the new ones.
Why do you prefer a walk behind for your yard aposed to a sander?
Lighter weight
So u don't have a chance of damaging lawn with a bigger machine?
@@DieselDan09 the bigger mower won’t do damage if operated correctly. I just prefer the light weight mower.
Kinda sus bro
Depends. A rider, or the newer standing riders that are designed like a rider with the big tires actually have less pounds per square inch then a walk behind, a push mower, or your own feet ( with the proper air pressure of course).
The think I like about your videos is always great information and 100% honesty. God bless you brother
hey neighbor, thanks for supporting a Maryland company!
Good choice on the WRIGHT, you chose the RIGHT one!
Nothing like trying out a new mower for the first time 🇺🇸
That old Exmark cut sooo pretty!! The best stripping mower that I’ve seen without a stripping kit.
I made that mistake when I first got my gravely prostance 32. I learned real quick of the blade Height. The wright plant is close to NC
Man every since you mentioned the Wright walk behind in a video I couldn’t wait till you did a video on it.
Congrats on the new machine Pete! Also sounds like you’re feeling a lot better..... Hope you and the family are well.
Looks great! Hope your business is BOOMING so you aren’t taking out debt for all these beautiful machines.
That is one sweet mower! I miss watching your content, Pete! Life and family are just too important to miss though. Keep up the good work!
LOL time for an upgrade nice 👍🏻 I like it 🔥🇺🇸🙏
I like your videos all of them
Thanks for all of your content. I just wanted to let you know I just ordered a new computer and Apple Watch under Team Jax.
Hey Pete can you do a video on how to cut lawn along a fence line, what’s the best way to turn around near the fence with the lawnmower. And how you keep your lines so straight?
The key is to NOT get too close. That’s what the trimmer is for. Leave a 16 inch gap between you and the fence
love all your videos
you also get a different cut height when using a walk behind compared to a Zero turn
:) wow that mower stripes really good
Looks like a beast!
yea , you also your blade height changes when you are in the grass, so when you set blades at 3.5 inches on drive way you can also lose inch or more. i find it easier to find your setting when you mow Start high and lower till you get the right height and look at where the mower says.
Great video cool mower
Pete I absolutely agree with you on the wright's. I've been running them for 14 yrs. ✝️
Make sure your monitor is calibrated. The GoPro auto settings in daylight are usually acceptable.
Wow your video is crystal clear. Thank you Pete! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Just mowed by cool blue today! Looks great
I love the smell of new mowers😁
Love it Pete "Mow It Like You Stole It"
hey man you should get a mower sulky so you don’t have to walk you can just stand on it behind it’s an attachment !!
As always, good stuff.
Colors on the video are getting much better and clearer Pete! Love the new mower!
That looks like a nice quality cut right there.
I was like you for awhile had 1 brand and didn't want to switch but then my dealer talked me into getting scag and hands down the cleanest cut ive ever used makes me wanna try other brands but now I don't want to switch. Nice mower congratulations
Noticed all that Sun Drop in the garage! Hope you can taste it again! Looking forward to the next video on how to properly use the whole deck.
Don’t apologize about being repetitious! I love these videos here lately! Stripe it up brother!
Pete, I know you said you have no clue how to do color grading but, just like you, there are people on TH-cam that go through editing software and color grading in those programs.

Great video I love mowing every video so it don't bother me we see it alot on yours it's a beautiful yard and your an amazing person my brother
my dream would be to mow your yard, that just looks so enjoyable haha, I have maybe one client who I redid the entire property with and that is the only property that is perfectly smooth and purpose built for ease of mowing

I will always be partial to the exmark but still love the new Wright and always love watching a good mow! Keep’em coming Pete! 👍🏻
Me too, exmarks have put lotta food on my table
Video looks good, a little too much contrast but it’s starting to look way better.
I tune in to watch the mow. And to see what’s new with Pete. And to see who else in your neighborhood is picking up their game. 😀
Love it
I love my little Wright Stander B 32”. Even with 3 point turns, the froth caster wheels
do sometimes make tears in the turf.
Do you think a more rounded-edge tire would help?
@@ArbitraryLifestyle I don’t know, they might. Do you know where I can buy some?
@@MattWeaver909 I'm sure there are some out there that would fit, but I haven't any ideas. Just a thought that having a more rounded edge could work better. I believe Gravely's front wheels are pretty rounded.
Morning! Have a great day!😎👊☕️
I can see a chute blocker in that mowers future! 😁
I'm telling you I could see all of your neighbors hiring you and the entire neighborhood looking like your yard. I see the vision
congratulations !!!!!
Videos are great, keep them coming please .
Great mower! I love the Kawi engines
You should make a fleet video of everything you have in your business
So happy to see such a reputable lawn guy buying a Wright. I'm buying a 52" Stander X soon and have great much excitement joy :D
Tried to get Ed to put that control on the ZK
Nice
Great stuff, Pete! Always enjoy the mow with ya! Sweet mower.
You haven’t run a mower until you have run a SCAG! 😉 Nice mower though, Pete!
Scag over everything else!
Looks like a nice mower. I hate using walk behinds...at least belt driven walk behinds. I have no experience with hydro walk behinds yet
Whats up Mr. Pete
Pete. Why don't you put mulching blades and a mulch plug on your mower? The more cut up the clippings the faster they decompose back into the yard. And it tends to work well on leaves which are really great for the yard.
Also, when it comes to getting the color right on the camera you need to match your white balance to the lighting conditions. Sunny, cloudy etc.
Have you ever tried scag? They cut and stripe amazing!
I’ve never used one before. Heard they are great mowers!
You should demo one and do a video on it. You will be super impressed.

Ed wright, he needs a custom ZK!
What happened to the Allett? I think that what you were showing a while ago.
We don't have them in Australia

Hey Pete, I just looked at the John Deere W42R walk behind. The Wright looks just
Doesn’t wright make some of the JD mowers for them???

Why didn’t you get the 52 wright stander

Would you be willing to sell your mower to an ole Navy Vet?! Have been wanting a walk behind for a while
Pete... I can help you with the color in your videos. I don’t know how to connect directly with you but I can help.
i notice you never bag clippings why ????
Pete, for your lawncare guide upgrade is that for all three guides?
Pete, What's the best southern turf to use to stripe.
How far south? As Pete has demonstrated over the last few years- KBG, Fescue, and Bermuda all stripe well.
Orlando
Awesome Pete! Can I buy that turf tracer off of you?
You going to get a Sulky for it?
Do they make a sulky for that mower?
Yes wright makes a single and dual wheeled sulky.
Why use a walk behind mower over a ride on?
Can’t go wrong while being WRIGHT 😂😂 let the dad jokes continue
I just started making videos myself
Is your old Exmark on the market?
Wrights don’t cut KBG well
Lost our ExMark dealers, Went with TORO. " had dealers Close by" Wish I had NEVER met Toro.....

You can do that for sure but there probably won’t be that much of a difference that it will even matter
Allett mower in a grave ? I'll take it off your hands ♥️💯
Thought my frt deck 48" 🦗 was a stripper .... It Is but that allett is a beast
Have ever run scag mowers or do you not like them.
Hey Pete hope you’re well. How fast does your gci tttf grow(growth rate)? Thanks
4th?
Is the turf tracer for sale then.....
No sir. I might give it away
Pete do you know how to get rid of the weed called Kalinga’s
Hey Pete. Which software are you using to edit your videos?
Hey pete got a ? Who’s is your weight mower dealer I have been interested in buying a weight mower for a couple years now I can’t find a dealer in here in VA I am not that far from NC I am over in South Boston VA I really want a dealer that is good to work with I really don’t want a exmark mower because I am not really that impressed with the new ones.
Well, if you've got a new mower can I have your old one? 🥴
