He covers the drive-over deck, hydrostatic controls, ROPS height annoyance, limited cutting-height range, and slow mowing speed, ultimately grading it C-plus/B-minus as a mower. Best for shoppers wondering whether a compact utility tractor can substitute for a dedicated zero turn (his verdict: not really).
Posted by the Goldinger Farms channel, which appears to be an owner-operator channel based on the farm context and first-person narration, though no further background is provided.
Not really. It took twice as long to mow the yard compared to a zero turn, cut unevenly, and had a limited cutting height range, so the reviewer recommends buying a zero turn instead.
About three and a half inches, which is much less than a zero turn that can range from one and a half up to six inches on certain models.
Push the lever forward to go forward, the further forward the faster you go. Pull out a knob to engage reverse implement operation so you can mow while backing up.
The reviewer gives it about a C-plus or B-minus, saying it is only decent and does not mow fast enough, with a wide turning radius of about 20 feet.
