He gives candid feedback: cut quality is good but not zero-turn quality, deck height adjustment seems limited, the cab AC and air-ride seat work well, but the tractor feels tippy on steep slopes. He's also considering selling the deck, so don't expect a long-term buyer's endorsement.
An owner-operator documenting everyday chores on his own property, offering practical but casual impressions rather than a structured review.
It mows 8-12 inch, sometimes 12 inch tall wet grass with no bogging down, though the owner took 60 inch passes instead of full 72 inch width for breathing room.
The owner says the tractor feels tippy on his very hilly property, though he notes it is due to the steep hills rather than poor tractor balance.
The owner says cut quality is great but not as good as a zero turn, and it is harder to gauge where the mower deck is positioned.
The owner says he cannot get the deck very high off the ground even raised all the way up, and the front occasionally scrapes the grass.
