He walks through the deck's build quality, welds, belt design, height-adjust lever, steel gauge, and notes early positives without major complaints. A casual, real-world take suited to CS2220 owners curious about adding the mowing attachment.
Posted by the Midwest review channel, presented from the perspective of a private owner sharing ongoing impressions of equipment he bought and uses himself.
The Kioti cuts nice and smooth with sharp blades, while the worn John Deere 425 still cuts grass but shows some uneven lines from bent blades.
It uses a double belt design, and the owner has not managed to make them slip, though the deck is still new.
Yes, the welds all look decent, fully burned in on supports and tabs rather than short, half-done welds.
The tractor had a total of 221.3 hours on it at the time of this first mowing review.
