- Why Exmark Navigators for our lawn care business?! What's going on guys Blake Hawthorn with it's HIS turf, this video is about our Exmark Navigators that we use daily. A lot of you are probably going to ask why Exmark because I've already had the question many times and the reason being is it was the first mower that I ever looked at when I started shopping for a center discharge mower. I found one that has like 200 hours on it I got it for 4500 bucks. And that was my first one, the next year I bought two more. They were all 48-inch decks, but then we started getting into the problem of getting into some back gates, so to keep from having to push mow a bunch of backyards, we decided to buy a 42-inch Exmark navigator, so that way we can get into all of the backyards. If you would like to learn more be sure to check out the full video.

Really appreciate the investment of time you put into these videos. Very well done!
I totally agree with the center deck mower I've had a walker now for a year and it's doubled my productivity and my customers like the cut better
I run a older walker model c and the flip up deck on the center discharge mowers is awesome
The Navigator is a great machine
Great viedo
Thank you !
I havant seen an Exmark Navigator around my area. Its all Walkers. I have a power dump on mine. it sure saves your back when dumping grass or leaves. Great video.
Thank you! Power dump definitely would make unloading easier! Unloading the clippings off the trailer is another area that we are trying to refine. We are trying to make it easier and faster. Currently we use blowers to remove clippings, a tractor and rakes as needed. I have heard that we should look into a dump trailer and bed. How are you getting your trailer cleaned off?
it's HIS turf I use my backpack blowers. I try to get two of us in and blow together. Works super fast.
@@RedRockMaintenance that's exactly how we do it right now.
Nice video mate ;D
Thank you!
good video, a topic I've always found interesting is diesel vs gas in machinery and specifically lawn mowers, although the machine costs more, long term you save on lower fuel costs. might be an interesting topic for a future video
I would agree that diesel vs gas would be an interesting video! Thank you for that suggestion. Have you ever run any diesel lawn mowers?
it's HIS turf, I currently run 2 Kubota diesels (f-3680-60)(zd-221-48) and a toro grandstand. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have, I’ll dm you my contact info
did you guys end up making the video comparing the navigator vs walker?
Definitely check out walker. The biggest advantage over toro/exmarks you can use a lot of different attachments making just one machine into many. Plus you can get larger decks if you need it for a larger application Ana changing them is fairly easy even one person can do it (though a lot easier with a helper) bag, rear discharge, side discharge, mulching you name it. Dethatching rakes, blowers, snow blowers and plow. Sprayers. I think even an aerator attachment.
Thanks for the recommendation Eric. There are a few other people that have said the same thing. I plan to check them out soon. My buddy Kevin at fall river lawn care has one and he is going to let me run it soon. I will let you know my thoughts on it!
it's HIS turf can’t wait to see/hear how you like it.
Blake,
Either check into the b wise brand dump trailer (dump gste operstes as a.ramp for loading or use a debris loader and dump.trailer to suck up clippings. I can show you my set up via pics if you like.
B wise dump trailer sounds awesome! I will have to look into those. I would love to see some pics of your set up! Can you send them to itshisturf@gmail.com
I mostly mulch leaves unless there are way too many. I was thinking about getting a bagging mower like the navigator. About how many yards can you mow before you have to dump?
Weekly lawns 2 or 3. 10 day lawns 1. Biweekly dump multiple times. Lawns are 7000 to 12000 sq ft.
Hi does anyone know how to change the oil for the exmark or atleast know where it is in the exmark
Love your videos... What do you like better about the ex mark compared to the Walker .. starting to grow business bigger here in Oregon and was look at one or the other
I have honestly never operated a walker. I am planning a video where I do a comparison.
That would be a great one to do
@@mikecochrantheboss I have talked kevin iij into going toe to toe against me with his walker.
Awesome.. I can't wait to see it.. gonna be a great video.. thank you ..
You would like Walker, cut looks much better
Have u had issues with belts on your navigators?
Can you side discharge with this mower? Or at least mulch without it entering the collector bin?
I know In Walkers, you can pop the belt off of the blower and get somewhat of a mulching deck, or just leave the door open.
If you like the exmarks you would love the walkers. Both are great but I prefer walker
Kevin with Fall River just got a Walker mower and I plan on going toe to toe with hime very soon!
Why do you prefer the walker?
I like how responsive and smooth the walker is. I have found it does much better on hills and does less damage on wet turf. There is also a lot more options for add ons that walker offers that I enjoy.
When you dump in back of truck try pulling mower away and use pitch fork to stack and pack grass better you'll be surprised the difference of amount of grass will pack back there
Thank you
I have waker 48 in 18 hp hade for 25 yr. like it have a 42 in snow boler
Why not walker? It's basically the same mower but not as sensitive.....I'm considering the Toro version
I have a few buddies that are currently running walkers and from what I can tell they seem to like them. I would love a chance to run one myself, I just have not had a chance. Hopefully here before too long I will. I chose Exmark I while back because I found a great deal on a used one and it impressed me. I am very brand loyal. I have also been using Gravely for 10 years. Once I find something that works I will stick with it.
@@itshisturf23 I'm the same way, brand loyal to what works....I run Toro which is essentially exmark. I have to look at the weight difference between the two. Because most yards here in new Orleans are st. Augustine and when the ground is a little saturated it soften up and will rut easy under heavy weight...thanks fir the inspiration in keeping God first in your biz....have a bless day
Hey, could you make a video about begging out a small lawn care business. If you already have let me know please I'm going through watching the videos now and may not have come across it yet. I am going to start out next year and my wife is kind of worried about me doing this and then possible if god will let it turn it into a full time thing. I just want to know what to do and what not to do to grow my business good and not just be a small 3 yard a week thing. Thanks in advance.
Beginning sorry lol.
Jessi, I'm pumped that you are wanting to start your own lawn care company! I have not yet filmed how a video in detail about how I started out my company! However, I definetly will get you a video on that soon! Here are a few links to some videos that I have that touch on my first lawn care set up and how I started my business.

Who the hell drives with 2 hands on front controls, ad training
Where is the video of the predator engine swap
Well....... after modifying several parts it wouldnt fit without cutting a section of the bagger and i wasnt about to do that.
@@itshisturf23 good to know!!
I know a trick for unloading debris from the trailer. I call it the "layers of cake" method and have used it many times. Lay a tarp down and pile debris until the tarp has as much as you can carry on it. Then lay another tarp down and fill that one up as much as you can pull. I've even used this method with piling debris higher than the sidewalls of the trailer and it works.
If you can work on your own mowers, get a walker period, also they made walkers with heavy duty components in mid 90’s... find a used low hour old. Walker it has NO PLASTIC, not even the cooling fans are plastic
I cant get over the way you guys drive these lol. It’s painful.
