I have no first-hand experience, but user/Moderator Ric has a Toro Grandstand(and also has a Cub Cadet Zero Turn) and being a commercial mower with many years of experience he sometimes prefers the stander to the ZTR for situations where a stander is more versatile than a ZTR(I think he has mentioned on slopes and tight areas). maybe he will chime in and give you a more accurate depiction of where a stander "satnds out" versus using another type of mower.

Just got my Toro Grandstand today. Used it for two hours and have to say it is a great machine. Took me about the first hour to get a good handle on the controls, I'm sure with a few more it will become second nature. But the cut is great, very compact and almost just as maneuverable as my walk behinds. Have to say I'm very pleased.

The GrandStand offers you a more compact size mower than a ZTR. It combines the speed and comfort of a zero-turn rider with the on-and-off ease of a wide area walk-behind ​which in turn makes it a fast, more maneuverable and a more productive mower than a ztr or any other type or alternative that I have found. I run the 36" which is perfect for my residential lawns, goes through most gates without problems, I mow places where other have to use a push mower. The Grandstand and the stander mowers like it are the best mowers you can buy IMO.

I have heard good things about the grandstand. Going to demo one on a couple of yards that a ztr can not mow the hills on as soon as I have time.
Been looking at the 74578. 48 inch deck

Ric how does the 36" perform on hills with it having a narrower wheel base? I have a 60" V-ride and was looking at getting a 36" and getting rid of my walk behind. I talked to the sales guy at the local dealer today about them and he a little skeptical about mowing on hills with them. He said with a smaller wheel base they are very unstable. He said he even gets nervous sometimes loading it on a trailer. Now that may be from lack of experience. I wanted to get someone's opinion who runs a 36" routinely, which there is no doubt you do.

How much does 36" grandstand go for?

That would depend on when you buy the thing. If you could find a 2013 after they get the 2014 models you could get a deal. Right at the moment my dealer has one on the floor for I think for $7800, you could probably get it some cheaper but not much.
