Exmark Vantage

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Hi, everyone. I’m Ross Hawley, product manager for Vantage – Exmark’s new stand-on mower. For months, Exmark has been designing and planning for this new unit – our first stand-on mower.

Vantage is built with the same craftsmanship and eye for detail as our other mowers. With a host of great attributes, I’d like to point out a few that truly set it apart from other mowers:

  1. Platform: Vantage’s stand-on platform allows for movement to maximize performance and conveniently folds up, leaving plenty of room for bigger machines on trailers
  2. Heat shield: The rubber heat shield separates you from the heat of the drive system
  3. Cutting deck: The single-point height-adjust means you can quickly raise and lower the cutting deck to meet your needs
  4. Fuel tank: The centered, eight-gallon fuel tank helps maintain consistent performance regardless of travel direction
  5. Muffler: Vantage’s heavy-duty muffler guard protects the muffler from the typical wear and tear
  6. Quality of cut: As with any Exmark mower, our exclusive UltraCut deck cutting technology provides beautiful results
  7. Controls: You can easily step off and on the mower without doing anything more than letting go of the controls
  8. Suspension – Self-compensating suspension makes standing easier for pros of all shapes

We interviewed a handful of landscape professionals about what they love about Vantage. You can see their testimonials and learn about other benefits of Vantage on our YouTube channel. Vantage will be available in late-February, I encourage you to visit your local dealer to experience the Vantage advantage for yourself.

GIE+EXPO 2009

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Last fall, a handful of Exmark representatives were in Louisville, Ken., at GIE+EXPO, the largest tradeshow for the industry. While there, we unveiled our next generation of mowers. These four units complement Exmark’s already impressive lineup of professional-grade mowers, some of which have been enhanced for 2010 themselves.

Throughout the next few posts, Exmark representatives will take you through each of our new units. I’m anxious to hear your thoughts on what’s next from Exmark.

Welcome to “What’s Next”

Hi everyone. My name is Daryn Walters, and I’m the Director of Marketing at Exmark. Welcome to our new Exmark blog, “What’s Next.”

I wanted to take a minute and tell you why we’ve chosen to create this blog. Since opening for business nearly three decades ago, Exmark has enjoyed an ongoing dialogue with you, our customers and prospective customers.  And I can’t overstate just how valuable your feedback has been to us. It’s your advice and insight that help us to enhance and even develop new service offerings and products.  As we move forward, we hope this blog can serve as another way for Exmark to connect with you and collect your thoughts so that we can serve you better.

We’ll also use this blog to provide you with helpful and interesting information. For example, you’re going to see posts about service reminders and maintenance tips from our very own Exmark experts – some of whom have worked in this industry for more than 25 years. They will cover everything from simple tasks, such as blade sharpening, to more advanced techniques, such as leveling your deck.

In addition, you will see occasional posts about company news and other items of interest, such as product updates. If there are other things you would like to hear about, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Thanks for visiting “What’s Next.” We hope you check back often, and wish you a happy, healthy 2010.
