Unlike old-fashioned belt-drive commercial lawn mowers, every Quick 36™ includes the convenience and reliability of hydrostatic drive as standard equipment. Ultra compact, lightweight and easy-to-use, the Quick 36™ commercial mower (with its 36" three-blade deck) delivers a great quality of cut whether discharging, mulching or bagging. If you’re a professional landscaper or a homeowner that just wants a big, wide cut commercial-grade lawnmower, the Better Outdoor Products Quick 36™ is what you’ve been looking for. One of our goals is to make your entire ownership experience a Better one. From initial purchase, through use and maintenance and finally repair, we want you to be completely happy with your new mower. The first step is to give you a detailed look at all that's built-in to our Quick 36™. This will help you to make an informed decision about whether our product is right for you. Let's begin by looking at the big features of all Quick 36™ mowers: 36" 3-Blade Cutting Deck Provides "Push-Mower" Quality in a Fraction of the Time Hydrostatic Transaxle and Simple Operating Controls Provide Great Maneuverability and Exceptional Ease-of-Use Wide Range of Hi-Torque, Fuel-Efficient Engine Options from Briggs & Stratton and Kawasaki The Quick 36™ is Designed to Provide Extra Measures of Safety Without "Getting in Your Way" Simple to Maintain and Repair. Service Parts Couldn't be Easier Unmatched Direct Factory Support of your Purchase Compact In Size, Big In Results The heart of every Quick 36™ is its cutting deck. Mowers in this class usually have a 2-blade box deck because they're cheaper and easier to make. The Quick 36™ uses a 3-blade cutting deck because it provides some great advantages. It’s simple really… Similar to a multi-blade razor, three blades mow more efficiently than two. Each blade removes a smaller amount of grass with each rotation and the result is a "pool table smooth" quality of cut. We've had customers compare our cutting quality to that of a 21" push mower, which is high-praise indeed. Cutting the grass is one thing, clearing it out of the deck is another. Like most commercial mowers, the cutting deck of every Quick 36™ is fabricated from 10 gage steel sheet (with a 1/4" thick bumper) and then robotically welded to make it rigid and durable. What's different is that ours is a "tunnel" design. Having a progressively larger discharge tunnel utilizes the centrifugal fan action of the fully-baffled blades to efficiently lift, cut and then discharge the grass. The benefit to you is a mower that gives you an exceptionally clean cut. Since we're using three blades instead of two, each of our blades is considerably shorter than average. This makes for a couple of nice advantages. Shorter blades are lighter which puts less strain on the spindles, making them last longer. Shorter blades also allow the mower to be very compact which makes the Quick 36™ much more maneuverable. And, since Quick 36™ is actually shorter (by 6-8") than a typical 21" push mower, it takes up less space in your garage when you're not using it. Setting the height of cut on the Quick 36™ is easy. Just re-arrange the spacers on the caster forks and then adjust the rear of the deck to match. Setting the rear adjusters means loosening two nuts, sliding the spring-assisted deck to the desired position and re-tightening the nuts. It all takes one person about two minutes from start to finish and keeps the deck perfectly level in all seven cutting positions. If you prefer, the mowing deck can be infinitely adjusted to provide deck "pitch" which sets the blades slightly higher in the back. Our adjusters allow you to decide how to "tweek" your mower for the perfect cut. Adjustments range from one to four inches in half-inch increments. Operating The Quick 36™ Is In a Word; Convenient The hydrostatic drivetrain used in every Quick 36™ has been proven in over a million riding tractors weighing 2-3 times as much. In our mower, it's simply bullet-proof. Hydrostatic drive is the most sought-after feature in a walk-behind mower and it's easy to see why. Hydrostatic Drive gives you these great benefits: No shifting, clutching or living with "not quite right" speeds. The Tuff Torq hydro lets you set the walking pace exactly where you want it. From slow maneuvering to full-out fast, the perfect speed is right there, right now. Changing directions is instant. Unlike belt and gear-drive mowers that require you to clutch and shift, the Quick 36™ can change directions from forward to reverse and back, instantly. Mowing in under low-lying branches and around fences, trees and other obstacles has never been this easy. Sealed transaxle design makes it work dependably forward and reverse, in all conditions, wet or dry. Unlike most mowers in this price range, every Quick 36™ is equipped with full-sized commercial wheels and tires. This gives the machine excellent hill and curb climbing ability and also provides low turning resistance making it easier to handle. We’ve also included some nice refinements into all versions of the Quick 36™ line-up as standard equipment including our Top-Link™ deck leveling system, easy-service battery mounting, grease fittings on critical pivot points, adjustable handlebars and extended oil drains making oil-changes easy and "mess-free". The controls of the Quick 36™ are designed to let you take full advantage of the hydrostatic drive. Operation is simple; a squeeze lever for forward and a thumb lever for reverse. Everything you need for changing speed or direction is comfortably in your right hand. Our hydro drive, the controls, our lightweight and compact size all add-up to a mower that's super-maneuverable and easy to operate. Wide-Range of Engine Options Better offers a great line up of Briggs & Stratton or Kawasaki engine options to chose from for your new Quick 36™. We’re proud to offer two different models from Briggs. Our Super Fox™ is equipped with an economical 13.5HP manual start Intek and our Super Duty™ comes standard with a gutsy 14.5HP electric start Intek. Both of these engines feature full pressure lubrication with spin-on filters and a long list of other great features that add-up to a remarkable value. Our Briggs engines have provided exceptionally dependable service in everyday commercial use. Consistently regarded as the "Gold Standard" in commercial walk-behind engines, the Kawasaki KAI looks as if it were designed just for our machine! Smooth, powerful and very (very) quiet, the Kawi is the ultimate engine for your Quick36 Samurai™ or Quick36 Ninja™. Whatever your needs, we’ve got an engine option that’s perfect for your application. Another great thing about both Briggs & Stratton and Kawasaki is their service. With THOUSANDS of Authorized Servicing Dealers worldwide, you will be able to get affordable parts and qualified service wherever you are. And they're both warranted for two full years of residential use, one year for commercial. Good Safety Systems Should Be Invisible We all know that lawn mowers can be dangerous by their nature. Most brands have safety systems to reduce the risk, but many are so cumbersome and awkward to operate that people disable them in frustration. We believe that good safety systems should be nearly invisible to the operator. At Better, we've designed our ANSI-Compliant Quick 36™ mowers to have safety systems that don't get in your way. They include: Noram SoftStart™ Mower Deck Drive Clutch-Brake quickly stops your blades in around 3 seconds (plus it makes your belts last a lot longer). Neutral-Start Only circuitry prevents unintentional starting Operator Presence lets the mower "know" when you're in the operator's position and shuts things down if you leave the machine in an unsafe mode "Default to Neutral" hand controls. Let go of the machine and it stops Automatic Braking System engages the brakes to a "park" position simply by letting go of the handle. Easy To Live With The Quick 36™ mower was designed from the beginning to require very little maintenance. All we'd like for you to do is add gas, change the oil & filters once in a while, occasionally grease a few things and keep your blades sharp (they come off with one bolt). Too make your life easier, we build each Quick 36™ using high-quality components. Ball bearings in places where others use bushings. Constantly-tensioned drive belts with Kevlar cords for long life. Control cables with premium wire and lined conduits. Greaseable and re-buildable mower spindles. All this adds up to a machine that lasts a long time and requires very little pampering. When it does become time to repair your Quick 36™, you'll find it very simple and intuitive to work on. Our Owner’s Manual includes detailed information on servicing and repair of every aspect of the machine. With our "What You See Is What You Get" Online Parts Ordering System and our exclusive online Service Tips, understanding your mower and getting your repair parts could not be faster, more convenient or less expensive.
