Choosing the Right Commercial Stand-On Mower

When you own a lawn care or landscaping business, you need to have the right commercial mowers for the kind of work you do. Stand-on lawn mowers give you and your team a lot of flexibility. For efficiency and getting great results fast, commercial stand-on mowers are a wise choice.

Stand-On Mower Safety Features

Standing is better for your body. Sitting for too long can cause or worsen back and neck pain. Standing on the mowers allows you to duck under a tree branch. If the mower hits debris, it's easy to step off the platform compared to extracting yourself from a seat. The open platform is also easy to get on and off if the mower slips on a hill.

More Mowing in Less Time

Commercial stand-on mowers come in small footprint sizes. This allows you to work around tight spaces, such as between trees on a wooded property or around curving paths or edges of a patio. These zero-radius turn mowers increase your efficiency when turning and navigating around the features of a property.

The shorter length of these mowers also allows you to fit more equipment onto your trailer. They weigh less than a ride-on mower, making them easier to maneuver on a lawn and on your trailer. Their lighter weight also means they use less fuel, which saves you money.

Great-Looking Lawns

Pivoting front axles on stand-on mowers allow you to navigate hilly areas and slopes with ease. This means you will not cut the grass too short or leave it too long. The shape of the mower's front end allows you to weave it around shrubs and bushes, so you can trim all of the lawn as efficiently as possible. They allow you to work right to the edge of a driveway, patio or sidewalk, so no blades of grass are missed.

Take a look at the many commercial stand-on mowers we offer and find the one that’s best for your business!

Stand-On Mower Guidelines

A commercial lawn mower is similar in size and horsepower to many riding mowers. However, they lack one key feature: a seat. Instead, the machine comes with a small foot platform at the back. Mowing your lawn with a stand-on mower allows you to avoid shortening your hip flexors by sitting.

There are many benefits to using a stand-on mower. The center of gravity on stand-on lawn mowers is at your feet (rather than your seat), which improves maneuverability while mowing lawns. A stand-on mower allows you to get on and off the mower much faster, resulting in a faster job.

The majority of stand-on mowers are zero-turn machines, which means they can turn on a dime without requiring additional space to round corners. Stand-on machines have several advantages over their riding counterparts, including easy access to steering controls. They aren't for everyone, though.

Why Stand-On Mowers?

Our stand-on mowers are an excellent option for people who want to work efficiently and effectively. Listed below are some of the primary reasons why you should choose a stand-on mower:

• While standing, vibration from a running engine does not travel nearly as far into the low back.

• The higher vantage point provides better access to your surroundings as you mow.

• Walk-behind mowers have much less power and speed.

• Mounting and dismounting a stand-on mower is faster due to the lack of a seat and armrests.

• Because you can shift your weight from side to side, stand-on mowers are preferable on uneven terrain due to their innovative features.

• Almost all walk-behind mowers have a narrower mower deck.

Who Are Standers For?

Standers are the best lawn mowers for people with lower back problems, people who love to work smart but work fast at the same time.

Stand-On Mower Considerations

When choosing a stand-on mower, you should consider several factors to ensure that you get the one that will suit all your requirements. Below are the three primary reasons to consider:

• Dimensions of Your Yard: The size of your yard should largely determine the stand-on mower you choose. Do you have a large yard with a few closely spaced obstacles? Consult with our team to enlighten you more on your choice.

• Standing vs. Sitting: Manufacturers of stand-on mowers claim that owning one of their machines will change your life. A stand-on model will almost certainly have several benefits.

• Maneuverability: A zero-turn mower is usually the best option if you have a large lawn with a couple of plants or other obstructions. If you have a lot of closely spaced obstacles, a stand-on model will provide relatively better maneuverability than riding a zero-turn machine.

I cannot write a review as you no longer sell my exact model mower. It is now 3 years old. Having said that, I love it. 5 stars.

I will begin my five star review with the buying process. I spoke with Shannon at the company and explained my mowing needs to her. When I posed a question or two that she could not answer with absolute certainty, she got the answers from her technical staff. I was not originally looking at this model but she and the technical staff assured me I needed this machine and I would love it. They were correct!
It shipped to my door in under a week and is it ever a beautiful machine. I did not have the instructions for uncrating the mower so I contacted Shannon again. She immediately e-mailed the illustrated instructions and the uncrating adventure began. In addition to some metric sockets and wrenches to disassemble the crate, I found a cordless Milwaukee Sawzall to be invaluable. After I cut away some of the lower crate assembly (steel square tubing) and removed all of the upper shipping tubing, I was ready for gas and oil and hooking up the included battery. I hit the starter twice (once to prime the fuel system) and the mower came to life. I ran it for a couple minutes on low speed and checked for leaks or odd noises. Everything checked out perfectly. Okay, time to try out my new mower. I started cutting grass that was 7-8" high with the deck set on 3.5" and that was effortless, even running wide open throttle. The cut is beautiful! I tried the mower out on some slopes I have and the mower felt totally surefooted on approximately a 20 degree slope mowing back and forth. The mower did an awesome job. I have some steeper slopes (on the dam side of a pond) with which to contend and I will ease my way into them with the Bradley. While operating the mower, I made some observations. The mower is quieter than I thought it would be. The mower has great traction. The steering is very sensitive compared to a home owner zero turn that I have. After mowing about a half acre with the new mower, I am getting pretty used to the steering. I only have three acres to go. The mower does not come with an hour meter but I think I will add one. It's a great tool for planning maintenance.
In summary, my review is based on first impressions since I just got the mower today. The mower is a beast and quite agile. I am impressed with the customer service of the company and with the quality of the mower. Everything is heavy duty. I have a neighbor who wants one after seeing me mow with mine. If he springs for one, I can help him uncrate it since I now have the experience.

Great value. I have been running my compact stand on 48 for almost a year commercially and love it. Well built and easy to operate, great value for the money.

i own a 48 inch stander and just bought the 36inch stander blade belt broke made a phone call 2 days later parts were at my door free of charge great local company with a great staff

Purchased my compact 48 from Bradley Mowers in Bradley IL. The dealer there is fantastic very helpful and made sure I knew all the functions of the mower before I took it home. Let me start out by saying this machine is a beast! If you want a quality cut at a fast pace this is the machine for you! The overall build of the mower is one of the best I have seen. Heavy duty steel, bolts, wheels everything is very well built. Even the paint job is good. Very high quality at a very fare price. The stability of the machine is very good on slopes, it weighs a fair bit so it stays put, even in damp grass. One thing I can say "I wish" was better is that the controls are a little low. I'm average height 5'-11" and they are a bit low for me. Other than that I have no complaints. I highly recommend this machine for anyone wanting to cut down on there yard time. I'm not a commercial mower but this defiantly has the quality that can withstand daily use.

It surprises me to see that there are only five reviews of the 48" Bradley Stand-On as of today; what does not surprise me is that they are all five stars! Come to think of it, what really surprises me is that I don't see Bradley mowers everywhere I look; that tells me that a lot of people just didn't do their homework before buying their mower-- if they had, we'd see a LOT more of these red beauties at work! Other reviewers have mentioned the quality of construction that is so evident in these machines... I mean, they are built like an army tank, no joke. The aspect I want to mention is Bradley's ease of operation. The controls are well-placed and straightforward, so the learning curve is a breeze. Even more important to me as an arthritis sufferer is the Bradley's smooth ride, courtesy of those big tires and the shock-absorbing operator platform which allows the legs to cushion most of the jolts which are imparted to the operator's spine on any sit-down mower. Lastly, how about that price? Check out comparable mowers like the Ferris and Bobcat stand-ons (I said comparable, not better) and you'll find that while they'll cost a lot more than the Bradley, you won't necessarily be buying more. I'm glad I purchased mine!

I bought my Mower back in July and have used it several times in many different grass conditions and it has handled it like a boss! Customer Support has been A+ , I drove 540 miles one way to pick it up in Illinois and the dealer there was awesome! Answered any questions i had! I would love to see a forums added to Bradley's website!

I looked at a lot of stand on mowers. And I ended up choosing the Bradley 48 inch stand on mower with the Vanguard. I have had the Bradley now for five months. It has been running like it supposed to the hydros are strong. I can use this mower hills . The zero turn I hadbefore cannot hold the hills like this one does. I have a grass gobbler and it does attached directly to the Bradley with no extra hardware. I would recommend buying a Bradley

Built like a tank. This machine gets the job done. Impressive power. I had some hill work today and this mower took care of it.

I bought this mower. I LOVE this mower! Am already thinking of getting the 36" to go along with it!
