Commerical Grade Lawn Mowers: Top Brand ReviewsThere are three kinds of commerical grade lawn mowers: Zero-Turn Riders, Walk-Behinds, and Standers. Since it is never an easy decision which to buy, here is a detailed review of the top brands... Zero-Turn Riders (ZTRs)
Walk-Behind Mowers
The top walk-behinds are all hydraulic-drive mowers instead of belt-drives. The hydros have more advantages. They are easier to maintain, can pull a sulky, and are more maneuverable. If you can afford buying a hydro over a belt-drive, you won’t be sorry.

Stander Mowers These commerical grade lawn mowers are a great innovation. It’s surprising they are not more popular. The standers are an intermediate between a walk-behind and zero-turn rider in many ways: price, ground speed, productivity, size, and weight. Many users with back problems find them more comfortable than sitting in a ZTR. The standers are better on hills than a ZTR, but not as stable as a walk-behind. One drawback is no vacuum system. However, mulch kits are available. The Great Dane, Everride, and John Deere standers are all made by Auburn Consolidated Industries. They are similar in design with a few noteworthy differences. The Wright stander is made by Wright Manufacturing. (This small innovative company also invented the velkie, later known as the sulky.)
