Sulkies/Stand-ons
I mow lawns for my dad's landscaping company. Right now I am using an Exmark 36'' to mow roughly 45-50 lawns in two days. Its a lot of walking.
Does anyone know if Exmark has one of the attachments that you stand on. I'm pretty sure its called a sulikes or stand-ons.
If so are they easy to maneuver? Or would I be better off walking?
Thanks Ford_Six

They call theirs a stand-on, most others are called sulkies.

Exmark copied the original it was called Velki, I had the Velki worked good but left a tire mark in the grass and a J turn mark at the end of your stripe. I ran the Velki on my 48" Ransomes for three years after awhile it will hurt your knees badly from all the twisting and jaring that the bumpy lawns will give you, that could be an age thing I am 45 and have been running a full service Lawn and Landscape biz for 15 years....... Have you been to www.lawnsite.com? Lots of good info over there.....

I have been a member of lawnsite.com for a while under the same nick as here. I am not active posting member. I found that most of the stuff I need info for was already asked so it makes my needs quickly met. It's a great site!!!

Hey Jack is the extra line the stand ons make (for lack of a better term) annoying? Did anyone ever complain about it? I work in a ritzy neighborhood and a lot of people have nothing better to do than critique down to the very last piece of grass.
That's a great site too, thanks.

I'm also on lawnsite as cuda444. I don't post, or frequent it much for that matter lately. As the season picks up, I'll head over there.
Patatoe, how big are these 45-50 lawns? Assuming there all not under an acre or so, 36" is a pretty tiny mower deck for that many lawns, IMHO. We've got some big (6+ hours to cut), some small (10 minutes to cut), and 2 toro z-masters, one 62" deck and one 52" deck. The 52 fits everywhere. Just curious is all, not trying to come off as an a**
