Trevor Collins (Asheville, NC) (verified owner) –
The cutting deck glides over uneven terrain smoothly and the anti-scalp wheels protect the turf. The frame is heavy tubular steel that does not flex when traversing uneven ditch banks. Four solid stars. Reliable starting, clean cutting lines, and plenty of engine torque.
Michelle G. (Chattanooga, TN) (verified owner) –
Deck height adjustment is simple with the spring-assisted lever, allowing quick changes on the fly. The front caster wheels swivel effortlessly on greaseable bearings, providing razor-sharp turns. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
