Thats it! Trade it in for a small vride! LOL Walk behinds can be so touchy with doing wheelies. Ive never used one that small but I can imagine what it must be like. Looks like it cuts and stripes amazing!
I always use the walk behind mowers in my set up along with a zero turn or a stand on mower. Mainly for hails since both zero turn and stand on will slide or flip over. Especially when customers decide to water their lawn knowing you are coming. Try using a stand on or zero turn on a wet hail and see what happens.
@@CountrysideStrong yeah makes sense. Just in my personal opinion I like to minimize the damage that is caused when the machine slides down when wet. I don't have that many laws where I require to use it but it is like the old reliable. After all that is how I got started in Lawn Care. With a 36 inch deck scag belt driven.
@jesus2402 yup i had one too. That’s the good thing about these standers, they rarely slide and when they do i almost never get any damage it doesn’t actually rip the grass
I almost pulled the trigger on a Scag 36 inch walk behind last year, but I ended up getting a V-Ride 2 32”. No regrets. I run (2) V-Ride 2’s a 48 & the 32”. I use a 21” Honda also. The walk behind’s appear to be so versatile.
I had the same issues with my swzt front end lifting up while on the bradley 2 wheeled sulky. I went to harbor freight and bought a really cheap Hercules tool bag with a heavy duty zipper. I then went to a mechanic shop and asked for a bunch of used wheel weights (they just gonna throw them out) and dumped like 20 lbs in the bag. Bungee corded it to the metal panel on the mower and wow it made such a difference. It's not permanent so you can experiment with it to see if you wanna rig something up. My bag of wheel weights have been on the mower for 2 years and haven't had issues with it at all. Rain or shine.
It's good to hear that about 20lbs of added weight to the front of your Scag pretty much solved your wheelie problem. I am seriously considering a 36" Ferris walk behind along with a Proslide sulky to get into backyards with small gates. Any words of caution of advise on this?
Awesome video love the way scag mows. Had go to exmark for customer service but I been happy. I think a single wheel velkie with a tweel wheel. Not sure if they make them but heard they absorb alot if shock. The standers look awesome heard great things about them.
I know you didn't like the Proslide. But, did you find that the nose of your Scagg WB mower would pop up cuz there was not enough weight? Or, did it run fine?
Thanks for the vid! It's always in good fun making fun of co workers for having to do the walk of shame. I thought the old dude coming out to mark the obviously visible down spout drain was funny. I can't believe the growth your guys lawns already have, especially that one.
The prDoslide looks very cool! I am considering one for my Ferris FW25 48". Do you get a smoother ride than with a 2 wheeled sulky? Doesn't look like you can go in reverse with it. Do you feel that's a drawback?
Get an universal 50lb front mower weight to eliminate the front end lift. I've been using the Xt slide for years and would never go back to a single or dual wheel sulky.
I remember now why they don’t recommend mowers under 48 inches due to popping wheelies. Have you tried a Wright Two Wheel Velke? More expensive but well worth it in your situation. The platform flips upside down during transport so it doesn’t hang down off the chain. Big advantage the platform spins all the way around so it doesn’t jack knife when backing up while mowing.
For a minute there I thought Billy was flipping the bird good thing it was the peace sign ✌️ not a big fan of walk behind mowers, time to get rid of it! Wow some serious growth on that one lawn!
Yeah, my brand new Exmark 30 is irritating the hell out of me, 2 days in a row... I should have waited for the Scag, and I just might have to return her and get a Scag if they're not all sold out....we'll see....I have one more idea to try 🤦♂️
You too? My day was anything for an irritation! The song you played before he took the walk of Shame with the gas can was horrible! Even my dogs started to bark with the high pitch! Lol
In his defense I'd say the boss is responsibile to fill the mower with gas every night or morning before the day. Those have tanks so large you shouldn't be able to burn 1 tank in a day. Did you check the blade tips vd deck height on the swzt? Mine was off 1 full inch before I realized it.
That's a lazy cop out. The person running the machine is responsible for the fuel in it and to check it before you take it off the trailer. The SWZT cuts perfect, blades are fine
@@CountrysideStrong and what I meant was making sure the 4 height was actual 4 cutting height. My true cutting on my swzt was 1 inch off the pin settings until I adjusted it but was still half inch lower. Lost the 4.5 option and that was 4 inches with no adjustment height left.
@@CountrysideStrong OK. This is my first Scag. I have the exact same model as yours with the Kohler. And it has that squeak and the engine tends to rev up and down when I shut off the PTO. Do you notice that on your machine?
I think the 3 best 36 mowers are ferris Wright / JD and Hustler standers walk behind mowers have too many tires and lots of problems and discomfort with the Velke sorry my friend it think you should have bought a stander😁😁
Guy all trying to be cheap and get a walk behind when he knows he should have a 36" stander...... Stubborn bastard will modify the crap out of the walk behind all season and just give in anyways. Just buy it... Get a slightly used one
Lol did old boy in his jim jams come and mark that obvious as down pipe with flags? On a lawn km pretty sure you have mowed for years.. 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️ pro slide looks like it makes a mean stripe! Looks like you need to do outside passes first to get more room behind you for turns?

It does a great job

We use standers on everything even insanely steep hills, easier to jump off when shit gets bad lol

Hard to beat the standers. Fast, comfortable, maneuverable, great mowers. I’m on year two with the walker and grandstand and very happy.
Yea they're so versatile

I don't believe you can get a tweel that small, not sure
I know you didn't like the Proslide. But, did you find that the nose of your Scagg WB mower would pop up cuz there was not enough weight? Or, did it run fine?
It def did
@@CountrysideStrong Do you think adding a little weight (20lbs or so) would keep the nose down? Thx so much for your feedback.
On another note. Do you have or know someone that has tried the Scag Hurricane mulch system - and were they happy with the results?
@@stevenclark5450 I don’t

Some of them aren't growing, some are. Yes he's a super cool guy, marks them every year lol

Yahweh smoother and it's definitely pretty cool but I prefer to wheel without a doubt I sold this almost right after I got it
Get an universal 50lb front mower weight to eliminate the front end lift. I've been using the Xt slide for years and would never go back to a single or dual wheel sulky.
Sold that and the mower a week later lol
I know you didn't like the ProSlide. If you want to sell it let me know. Thx
Already sold it when I got it
@@CountrysideStrong Bummer!

The jungle jim's does the same thing. I like that one it's worked great for me in the past
lol enjoying the adventures of billy and randy...
Thanks
Looks like you had one of those days! That we all get some time!
Yea turned out pretty good tho
I would recommend getting the Wright Gen 2 velke. Those can pivot a full 360 degrees
So can the jungle jim's that's one of the reasons I like it
Got a brand new jungle gym two wheel black just got it today hate it. Let me know if you want it.
Lol just got mine today. Have had 4 in the past I love em
For a minute there I thought Billy was flipping the bird good thing it was the peace sign ✌️ not a big fan of walk behind mowers, time to get rid of it! Wow some serious growth on that one lawn!
Yea some are growing like crazy
Great video how’s the pro slide
Thanks
definitely think you should look at the velkie i use
Great video
Thanks
Bahahaha the walk of shame🤣
Everyone has done it at some point
@@CountrysideStrong i definitely have. Its usually on the farthest side of the property
Every time....🤦🏼♂️
Is the jungle gym the one with the casters? Those seem legit to me. Your always in the same position relative to your mower.
No it's different
Check out the Landshark Pro-sulky it’s a two wheeled sulky that stays behind the mower I can stand on it while backing up.
I've seen it I didn't want that style. I can back up with a regular one
I read on a few sites that you can’t use a sulky or pro slide on a 36 looks like they are wrong. I am in the market for a 36.
People been doing it for years and years back when geeked the freak made videos that's all he ran was a 36 with a two wheel
@@CountrysideStrong yea not sure why they say not to because same hp is on a 36 as a 48 right?
Depends on the mower some of them are different
Yeah, my brand new Exmark 30 is irritating the hell out of me, 2 days in a row... I should have waited for the Scag, and I just might have to return her and get a Scag if they're not all sold out....we'll see....I have one more idea to try 🤦♂️
It happens to us all
That scag stripes nice
Really does
Why didn’t you get a 36 inch stand on instead of a walk behind.? Love the tunes by the way. You’re making better videos every time
I covered it in the video where I first showed the walk behind. Thanks for watching
You too? My day was anything for an irritation! The song you played before he took the walk of Shame with the gas can was horrible! Even my dogs started to bark with the high pitch! Lol
Lol watch something else
Lol!!! You would miss my comments
🤷🤦🏼♂️
You need to buy a swivel sulky. It moves like the pro slide but the two wheels like on a jungle Jim’s swivel. Look into it you’ll like
I have, it's not what I want. I've used them they're ok it's just not for me
In his defense I'd say the boss is responsibile to fill the mower with gas every night or morning before the day. Those have tanks so large you shouldn't be able to burn 1 tank in a day. Did you check the blade tips vd deck height on the swzt? Mine was off 1 full inch before I realized it.

@@CountrysideStrong so that was billy's machine for the day?
It's pretty much his every day. I almost never ride it
@@CountrysideStrong and what I meant was making sure the 4 height was actual 4 cutting height. My true cutting on my swzt was 1 inch off the pin settings until I adjusted it but was still half inch lower. Lost the 4.5 option and that was 4 inches with no adjustment height left.
@@strykerv1620 yea I knew what you meant. I've had that issue on many new mowers. Very irritating for what we pay
So, now that it's well into April, it's safe to assume that me and Christina won y'all giveaway right?😉
Well into? It's like the 6th lol. To be honest I've been so busy I haven't even done it. Billy asked me about it today. I gotta get on that
@@CountrysideStrong actually it's the 7th ,the 8th in about 3.5 hrs 😎 but, who's counting?🤷♂️🤣
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC calm it down and have a steak I'll get it done
@@CountrysideStrong 🤣😅
@@JsCrazyCutzLLC I'm winning it why you so hard on randy Jay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whens Billy gonna start driving his truck? Love the kids 🤙🏽
When he gets his license.
@@CountrysideStrong thank you for relying sir have a good night 🤙🏽
So jealous of you hats with green green grass already. We need masks for the dust here!
Hopefully you guys get some rain
I have homemade version of what the call go slide work good
I think I've seen it
Your Scag squeals just like my mine when you shut the PTO off. Do you know why they make that noise?
They all do it's more the belt on the pulleys
@@CountrysideStrong OK. This is my first Scag. I have the exact same model as yours with the Kohler. And it has that squeak and the engine tends to rev up and down when I shut off the PTO. Do you notice that on your machine?
Yup it's done it since first day. My Exmark does it too with the same engine. No idea why
@@CountrysideStrong ok. Thanks man for getting back with me. I guess no need to rush it back to the dealer. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you
I think the 3 best 36 mowers are ferris Wright / JD and Hustler standers walk behind mowers have too many tires and lots of problems and discomfort with the Velke sorry my friend it think you should have bought a stander😁😁
That's okay different strokes for different folks
@@CountrysideStrong 😁😁
Would you sell the pro slide?
Yup
@@CountrysideStrong Let me know
$300 and you pay shipping. I also have a spare wear plate for the bottom that'll go with it

Lol, send me one
@@CountrysideStrong yea I’m thinking the same. Just send it !!!
If you're sending mowers, can you send me one as well?
