Bradley 36" Stand-On vs. Wright Stander B: Which Mower Delivers the Best Value?

When comparing stand-on mowers, both the Bradley 36" Stand-On Mower and the Wright Stander B deliver impressive performance. However, the Bradley stands out with a more powerful engine, faster speed, better warranty, and a much lower price. Let’s break it down to help you make the best choice for your business.

Why Bradley Stands Out

  1. More Powerful Engine
    The Bradley features a 25HP Briggs & Stratton Commercial Turf Series engine, delivering more horsepower than the Wright Stander B’s Kawasaki engine options (18.5HP or 22HP). This added power gives it the edge for tough jobs and demanding conditions.

  2. Faster Speed and Higher Productivity
    With a top speed of 10 MPH, the Bradley mows faster than the Wright Stander B, which tops out at 7 MPH. This speed allows the Bradley to mow up to 3.27 acres per hour, compared to the Wright’s 2.26 acres per hour.

  3. Unmatched Warranty
    The Bradley offers a 2-year, unlimited-hour commercial warranty and a 3-year, unlimited-hour residential warranty, giving you peace of mind and long-term reliability. In comparison, the Wright Stander B comes with a more limited 2-year commercial warranty.

  4. Durable Build and Versatile Design
    Built with a 7-gauge fabricated steel deck, the Bradley matches the Wright’s durability but adds versatility with its flip-up platform, allowing operators to easily switch between stand-on and walk-behind modes. Its compact design also saves valuable trailer and storage space.

  5. Significant Cost Savings
    At $5,499.99, the Bradley is priced $2,177 less than the Wright Stander B’s starting price of $7,677, making it an unbeatable value.

Key Features of the Wright Stander B

  • Engine Options: 18.5HP or 22HP Kawasaki
  • Drive System: Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 dual hydrostatic pumps
  • Deck Material: 7-gauge fabricated steel
  • Speed: Up to 7 MPH
  • Productivity: Mows up to 2.26 acres per hour
  • Warranty: 2-year commercial

While the Wright Stander B delivers solid performance and durability, it’s slower, less productive, and more expensive than the Bradley. For budget-conscious landscapers, the Bradley offers a much better return on investment.

Why the Bradley 36" is the Clear Winner

  1. Better Power and Productivity:
    With a more powerful 25HP engine, a faster top speed of 10 MPH, and the ability to mow 3.27 acres per hour, the Bradley outpaces the Wright in every productivity metric.

  2. Unmatched Warranty:
    Bradley’s 2-year unlimited-hour commercial warranty and 3-year unlimited-hour residential warranty provide more coverage than the Wright’s 2-year commercial warranty.

  3. Affordability Without Compromise:
    At $5,499.99, the Bradley costs nearly 30% less than the Wright, saving you $2,177 for a mower that offers similar or better performance.

  4. Versatility and Design:
    The flip-up platform on the Bradley adds flexibility, allowing operators to choose between stand-on or walk-behind operation—a feature the Wright doesn’t offer.

  5. Durability You Can Count On:
    Both mowers are built tough with 7-gauge fabricated steel decks, but the Bradley delivers this durability at a much lower price.
