I have the previous version of the 36 inch belt drive which is 6 years old. I have had zero issues with it other than needing to replace the drive belt twice.

Purchase was easy- awaiting shipment was slow. I have owned this model since Sept 2022. Cuts really,really well. Mulch's maple and oak leaves in the fall like confetti. Steel bagger sucks up debris like a perfect vacuum! Perfect system with the mulching blades. My only problem- I walk it - Always stays in gear, but transmission does miss or skip a few times per hour which is more often than I like - as I usually jail poke a handlebar in to my gut. I cannot figure out why and have learned to accept it.

Innovative Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers

Whether you operate a landscaping business or you have a large property that needs to be mowed, commercial lawn mowers and other power equipment make the job go much easier. This heavy-duty equipment delivers a professional result. The mowing gets done in less time, and you never have to sacrifice the quality of your results.

Bigger Is Better

When it comes to mowing a large property, a big walk-behind lawn mower is better. A bigger deck means more efficiency and a shorter time to job completion. While a standard residential lawn mower offers an 18- to 24-inch deck size, commercial walk-behind lawnmowers offer deck sizes ranging from 32 to 54 inches. This means fewer passes with the mower and a job that requires less time to complete. Even though they have a wider deck, these are zero-radius turn mowers.

Easier to Handle

Commercial walk-behind mowers are easy to handle. They feature steering that allows you to navigate around a variety of obstacles, including water features, pathways, trees and curved flower bed edges. If you need to mow hilly terrain or a steep slope, these mowers offer stability and consistent cutting on the uneven surface. Narrow footprints mean these mowers are easy to transport and store.

Increase Efficiency

A commercial walk-behind mower operates at a speed of up to six miles per hour. If you have a wide, open space to mow, this speed makes the process of mowing a large lawn a breeze. If you have a lot of lawns to mow, you will finish each job quickly without sacrificing the quality of your results. Their electric-start engines and easy maintenance requirements mean less downtime and more time getting your work done.

What Is the Difference Between Commercial and Residential Mowers?

Durability is the main difference when comparing residential and commercial lawn mowers. Commercial lawn mowers are ideal for large lawns ranging from two to five acres. On the other hand, residential lawn mowers are more useful for small yards.

The quality and type of a lawn mower also differ between the two categories. Commercial lawn mowers are made with more expensive, high-quality materials, making them last longer than residential mowers. Residential mowers can also last a while but they just might need more frequent maintenance.

Another key difference is the operation speed. The blade speed in commercial walk-behind mowers is higher than at-home lawn mowers. Commercial mowers cut grass at a peak speed, which reduces clumping and increases productivity. Also, these commercial units save time and can complete a bigger lawn more quickly.

Engine types are another key difference between the two types of mowers. Commercial mowers have a bigger engine than residential mowers. This makes commercial models more reliable for use without you worrying about needing to fix anything.

The price difference is a larger margin separating the two. Commercial mowers run in the thousands whereas residential mowers cost hundreds of dollars. This is because of several factors like the size of the decks, durability, engine type, and other features.

What Are the Best Applications for Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers?

Commercial machines are investments in keeping lawns tidy. They are ideal for maintaining bigger properties. But commercial walk-behind mowers can also come in handy for homeowners with many residential properties.

FAQs for Bradley Mowers Walk-Behind Mowers

What Are the Benefits of a Walk-Behind Mower for Commercial Landscaping?

Opting for a commercial walk-behind mower lets the maintenance team cut the grass quickly whenever it needs it. Plus, if you've got hilly or uneven terrain in front of your property, a walk-behind mower offers the control to let you make perfect cuts every time. When the grass needs to be pristine, a Bradley walk-behind mower is the answer.

How Do I Maintain My Walk-Behind Mower?

Treating it similarly to a car or another small engine is a good start. Change the spark plugs and oil regularly, swap out the air filter when it needs it and avoid rocks and sticks on the lawn and you'll be in good shape.

Are Bradley Walk Behind Mowers Suitable for Hilly or Uneven Terrain?

Yes. They'll handle hilly and uneven terrain much better than a riding mower because of the extra control they offer.

What Deck Sizes Are Available for Bradley Walk-Behind Mowers?

Residential walk-behind mowers range from 18 to 24 inches; commercial models range from 32 to 54 inches.

How Do I Choose Between a Walk-Behind Mower and a Riding Mower?

Riding mowers can be efficient, but they can't provide the control that a walk-behind mower allows. When you're looking to create a good first impression, you can't have a single blade of grass out of place. And while a riding mower might work well for home lawns, it can't measure up to the level of detail of a walk-behind mower.
