Besides the fact that you can cover more ground in less time, our product management team shares the top 10 benefits of our stand-on zero-turn lawn mower lineup.

1. Mowing Efficiency

Stand-on lawn mowers offer exceptional traction and maneuverability around obstacles, enabling landscaping companies to increase efficiency and cover more acres in less time. The ability to quickly mount and dismount the machine to move obstacles further enhances mowing time. Additionally, stand-on mowers typically operate at a faster pace than walk-behind mowers, boosting overall productivity. 

2. Compact Design

The compact size of stand-on mowers make them ideal for executing 180º turns and navigating tight spaces, perfect for tree-filled or heavily landscaped yards. The smaller footprint and shorter height, without the need for a roll-overprotective structure (ROPS), create more room on trailers or in shops for other equipment.

3. Handling Ease

Stand-on mowers offer improved handling ease as the operator and engine are closer together, reducing movement and momentum when changing directions. This proximity makes it simpler to start and stop with each turn, especially in tight spaces.

4. Slope Traction

Safety is paramount, especially on hilly terrain. Stand-on mowers allow operators to shift their weight to counter slopes, maintaining a safe and stable position. The improved center of gravity enhances the machine's ability to hold steady on steep terrain.

5. Stability

Built with a low center of gravity, stand-on mowers provide a more stable and safer cutting experience. This design lowers the risk of tipping and offers better traction on uneven or rough terrain.

6. Enhanced Visibility 

Operating in a standing position provides full visibility, allowing you to see everything around you while mowing. This enhanced visual range helps in easily maneuvering around obstacles and ensuring a precise cut.

7. Low Clearance Ability

Stand-on mowers can efficiently cut grass under objects with low clearance, such as tree branches, due to the absence of ROPS. Operators can duck down to continue mowing without compromising efficiency.

8. Quick Exit

In emergencies, stand-on mowers offer a quick exit strategy. Operators can easily hop off for safety reasons and hop back on to continue the job swiftly, ensuring minimal downtime.

9. Rider Comfort

Stand-on mowers reduce strain on the lower back by using leg muscles and feet as shock absorbers, providing greater comfort for operators who mow for extended periods.

10. Walk-Behind Ability

The flip-up suspension platform on Gravely stand-on mowers allows for an easy transition to a walk-behind machine when loading onto a trailer, mowing on slopes, or simply wanting to get some steps in. This versatile feature adds to the mower's overall convenience and functionality. 

Stand-on mowers are a valuable addition to any professional landscaper's equipment arsenal. From their compact size and enhanced efficiency to superior safety and comfort features, these mowers are designed to meet the rigorous demands of the green industry.
