Worlds smallest riding mower

you think about what goes wrong on a lot of mowers what parts do you have to replace them on oh the people that run them little mower in a big mess that's hard question I know no no let it roll we'll see how that goes help God that thing's got the Heart of a Lion [Music] all right guys welcome to Today's Show I'm with Jared Nissen and you should listen how are you Jared great how are you stand all right we're going to be taking a look at the lightest most compact ride on mower in the industry you guys have developed it and it just came out is that right yes first year on the market so this is the grand stand HD M okay HDM what does HDM stand for heavy duty mini you got it right I was quizzing them I already knew that cuz I asked earlier so heavy duty mini so what that basically means to me Jared is you took the components uh that you have in your biggest Machinery here because I mean you worked on on bad dogs like this and this is not in today's video but you're going to see a lot of similarities from this to this one right that's exactly right so we had our regular grand stand platform which you know it's kind of that mid horsepower range and we took a lot of the goodness from those designs that that we've gotten feedback on like the hood flip up hood for as an example and we pulled that into the new design on the on the HDM and then also on the HDX okay so there's that's one of the similarities here but underneath the hood when we say this is the most compact smallest it's also the lightest yes by how much about 100 lb by 100 lb and then it's the smallest by how much uh about 7 in 7 in this way but how did you lighten this thing up because as I look Jared I'm looking at this this is reinforcement around the deck that's not light the deck itself this is a heavy duty gauge deck and I put this alongside my big dog right my my my big mower yep and it doesn't look like you skimped on the deck so we we took out unneeded things like if you look at look at the overall size of the frame being seven or 8 in shorter like that takes out metal just on that side alone yes we also took out other components that you really don't need um talking about taking stuff out we only have one belt you think about what goes wrong on a lot of mowers what parts do you have to replace a lot oh the people that run them okay even easier than that let's say okay okay no no no but it's like a it's like a mini tank and when you think about where this unit's used like I have one at my house I got a gate going into the backyard and I can't fit a 48 in unit into it I can't fit a 36 no you can't fit a 36 through a gate got to have a 32 so you know this this machine is very good for that and when you think about a light machine you know none of the smaller compact stand on have white tires right you simply can't so you want it to be a little lighter so it think about like it is right now it's spring we've had a lot of rain very soft so you want that lighter machine to help you not not dig ruts down in your yard you know the the way we've design this machine is another reason that we have an industry-leading warranty so we've got a 2year unlimited hours warranty or 4 years 750 hours does the guy have to pick between the two or is it just an automatic thing no just automatic I mean if you want to run it 1,800 hours let's say you're down in Florida you on 1 18800 hours in in two years or even 2,000 hours you're still covered under warranty so long as it's within that 24 months now if you're somebody like let's say you're up you know Northern climate maybe you don't have a bunch of residential yards that you're cutting y putting on 200 hours I mean you that'll get you through 4 years H okay so as we look at the backside of this though you've updated the the pad right yes updated the pad with the bullhorns yep just some cosmetic stuff yeah and other little things are you know I like to talk about little thoughtful things that make a difference I mean just getting access to the back side of your engine and everywhere here y like that's you know this props itself up I mean there's a lot of little things too that help with just making it easier to service and maintain yeah you can get right at everything right here you can check all your pumps here you can check your engine oil right down there you've got your Parker hubs down here right there the platform actually do that got an operator sense package in it so that you it knows that you're on it you know your your blades shut off when oh when you release on all operator presence is in the handles yeah that's right and then deck height adjustment it's pretty straightforward it's right here yep yep very easy drop pin design you know makes it heck of a lot easier to use use gravity makes sense the shoot is consistent with our other shoots I was going to ask you what did you base the deck design itself off from do you did you borrow any technology from any of your other mowers or is this unique to this one so we did we worked with xmark on this design okay so when you think about what we had two years ago we had 136 in standon in this kind of mini category that one had the the flip up operator platform and um so when we looked at okay how do we how do we get down into that 32in size that's when we went over worked with our our our you know counterparts over at xmark and utilized a lot of what they have on their platform in this design you know it's very very proven again we look at warranty to look at durability of machines get feedback on on the C serving of the machine in overall lifetime how it performs so a good foundation was already on this machine from now what does a unit like this run so this will be mid 9 the promo but when you look at uh Fleet pricing you know you're going to be down 9 maybe a shade under okay and just for you guys I bought this machine I bought that machine and I bought the other one so that I can shoot videos for you guys but I also as you guys know I always like to bring the product expert and the guys that know these things better than I do I like to quiz them I like to ask them questions I like you guys to get an answer not from a salesperson but from somebody that was on the team that helped come up with the designs that helped plan these things out helped create these things and make them better for you guys and get that information so Jared was nice enough to come out here for the very first time he's never been to the house before so thank you for coming out you will see Jared I'm going to quiz you on that one in an upcoming video Jared perfect and on my new Air Raider which I'm pumped about that thing me too I I I don't know why I'm so pumped about a core Air Raider but what it does is it also SE oh does over seating yeah yeah so you can get that attachment you can you can seat with it too so I got all that property in the back that needs to be seated plus up north I've got this whole path where every Tom Dick and Harry that comes to visit and it's every day up north you can't get away people just love to come visit you they always par park right on my grass so all my grass is just suffering and I need something that I can just keep loosening it up over seating it just getting that lawn to finally establish but this one is going to get put to the test real soon because this little baby stays right here with me and goes inside of there cuz I got nothing else that I can get inside my property so so she's going up there and going to go mow some critical areas that I can't reach with anything but a push mower and I'll tell tell you what I am sick of push mowing you're you're not the only one Stan I mean when you look at this this smaller platform Market I mean it's really taken off in the recent years just because of that I mean we we have a phenomenal Turf Master you know 30in walk behind unit we have some really strong 21in heavy duties but when you think about how fast you can go with them versus this that's that's why I got one of these in my house what was operator fatigue I you know I mean you work all day long and then you come and you you grab a mower and you're pushing it and you're dragging it back and you're lifting it up and you're turning and you're setting it down and I know I'm sounding like a diva but when it boils right down to it I've always wanted a baby basically a baby heavyduty commercialized mower that I could hop on and use that wasn't much bigger than a push mower and this is that absolutely this is heavy duty it's meant for commercial use go ahead you guys that have Residential Properties buy it cuz you're not going to M you're not going to regret it because a commercial level mower is just built to a higher standard it's built to a standard to be operated every single day and not just one day a week but every day of the week and that's when you look at the warranty too you know when people stand behind their warranty and they have a long warranty like that you know it's built well and um the other thing is we didn't have it on this machine but um you know you can get a a mulching kit on this so you know that makes it even a little more Compact and when you think about going around going around mult and stuff like that you know controlling your clippings that's really helpful Too Perfect all right Jared big Thanks goes out to Jared for coming out big thanks to you guys for going along for the ride it's time to put this thing to the test and see exactly how well this thing cuts and some of the nastiest conditions I can find and I think I have plenty of nasty conditions here so let's do that next thanks for coming out here thank you my pleasure I've had people come up go oh you have I love it you have the best rhubarb of anywhere I've ever seen I'm like yeah you should Harvest some take it home with you just take it for yourself it's all cocko birds not rhubarb they do look alike though but this is all but basically garbage in here so let's get her gone let's see how the little moer can do in a big mess all right guys I'm going to jump into a regularly scheduled program I'm actually at Toro headquarters I'm meeting with Angela this is a paid sponsored video I just want want to be straightforward honest with you but what I do want to talk to you about today is a program called Horizon 360 and Angela is one of the people the co-founders of this program and it does some very unique things and one of the things I like is the ability to micromanage and track your equipment so you know just what it's doing tell me about it exactly where it's going to be so it works on any piece of equipment that's got a 12volt battery on board any of you're riding any of your stand on mowers um what you're going to be able to do is see when they're actually at scheduled job sites so all your properties are geofence it's going to auto start the job so them they can truly unload and go start working then being able to see actually how much time that they're idling so they're still running those jobs so this is onsite working right here okay so once it gets there and it starts working it's telling the guy in the office my equipment is working yep and it's where it's supposed to be on-site unknown is what that's our idle time so that's where the job is still running you're still charging that customer but the machines themselves are not running okay yep okay and then driving it actually can track when the equipment's loaded up and going down the road yep so it's recognizing that they're trailering so you're still going to see a nice breadcrumb trail of where they're going throughout the day okay and then offsite working that's if your machines are being used when they're not supposed to so they're running outside of a scheduled job not at a Geo fund so maybe somebody forgot to get on the schedule maybe somebody's using something where they shouldn't be picking up some side hustles so you're able to see what's going on and then what is offsite unknown offsite unknown is going to be that time truly where they are um right after trailering and not at any job site as well too so that's typically going to be the end of day or start of day shop time where they're truly just kind of not necessarily on site at a property but they're still kind of doing some stuff and they haven't fully closed down for the day okay but the this program this is just one feature yes right yep so you do routing and you do a lot of stuff that a lot of the other programs do but you also do job estimating yes so so a guy can actually use this program punch in the parameters of his job geofence areas in that get worked yep and gense are said don't yep and this program will spit out the number that they should be bidding this job app exactly it's going to do all that math do the work for you so you don't have to do any calculations you don't have to manually walk that property you're all going to do it all within one system what is this system called exactly this is Horizon 360 Horizon 360 and you find it where Horizon 360. toro.com and what does it cost right now it's we've got a six-month promo going on for the unlimited tier it's normally $1.99 a month but you've got it for free with dirt monkey as your promo code so you got six months free 6 months free the unlimited tier you got it but if you're watching this video and it's not within the same time frame or whatever that they're offering this you do have free entry fre one yep and we've got a $99 a month one as well too so mid tier and then the $1.99 a month okay so you got it all all right that's the Horizon 360 thank you Angela I appreciate it and you guys let's get back into our regularly scheduled program right now little mower in a big mess [Music] h [Applause] [Music] all right let's just see what we what we cut something thick was right here oh there it that that this this that that God that thing's got the Heart of a Lion my two cents are this little 32 in ride on lawnmower has got all of the same qualities that we've come to know and love in the Big Dog Mowers just these Big Bad Boy Mowers uh that Toro makes it's just in a smaller package so this one is probably one of the ones I'm the most excited about cuz it's not going out to anybody body except staying right here on my own land and allowing me what what what to to mow your what tenth of an acre no there's plenty of space Zach does not mow my land Zach isn't out here on Saturday and Sunday he mowing with me and there's nothing I mowing twice as much as what your land is I hate push mes Zach I hate push mowes I know I'm not I mean you push mowers as well I you've seen a bunch my land I push mowed that for couple months until I got an actual ride there's like three people in the world that like push mes Frankie is one of them and I don't know who the other two are but I'm not one of the other two I'd rather stand on something and get the exact same thing in a 32in package I can get this in and out of all these trees couldn't do that before no um I could not get that front Boulevard I was always pushmo and that I just weed whack it yep and that's what Frankie started to do and I came in and I saved him a lot lot of time I zipped through that thing took us 2 minutes all right but that's going to call it for this video it looks like pumpkin was out chasing that rabbit so hopefully that rabbit Got Away you've already caught you caught that rabbit a couple days yeah you CAU you you caught that same rabbit last week I had to save its life but that's going to call it for this video hope uh hope you guys enjoyed going along for the ride and checking this out we've got more Toro equipment that we're going to be testing we're just going to let it the conditions get even worse before we test it out that's it for this one God bless go get him you guys and we'll see you on another one
