Karen Stewart (verified owner) –
The vertical folding handles allow the mower to store upright against the garage wall, saving huge floor space. The frame is heavy tubular steel that does not flex when traversing uneven ditch banks. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Ashley Schultz (verified owner) –
The responsive steering controls make maneuvering around mature trees and garden beds effortless. The belt routing is simple and the belt covers can be removed with two bolts for cleaning. Four stars due to seat switch sensitivity over tree roots, but the cutting power is phenomenal.
Brent T. (verified owner) –
The safety interlock switches are positioned well and do not trigger unexpectedly over bumpy ground. The blade engagement switch has a positive tactile click and shuts blades off instantly. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Megan M. (Minneapolis, MN) (verified owner) –
The fuel efficiency is impressive, covering our entire lawn on less than a single tank. The tires cushion bumps nicely when inflated to the recommended twelve PSI pressure. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
Arthur Wood (verified owner) –
The self-propelled drive pulls with steady authority on our steep ditch banks. The front caster wheels swivel effortlessly on greaseable bearings, providing razor-sharp turns. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality.
Roger S. (Cedar Rapids, IA) (verified owner) –
The cup holder and storage compartment on the fender are handy touches for hydration on hot afternoons. The seat slides on a generous track so both my wife and I can operate it comfortably. Tire pressure needed a minor tweak out of the crate, but once dialed in it cuts like a dream.
Barbara White (verified owner) –
Starts up immediately on the first attempt every single weekend with zero hesitation. The hydrostatic transmission provides infinite speed control without the need to shift gears. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Betty H. (verified owner) –
The dual blade system creates tremendous suction that lifts flat grass blades before cutting. The engine air filter is easily accessible without tools for quick blow-outs after dry dusty mows. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
Donald F. (Bend, OR) (verified owner) –
The high-back seat and armrests make long mowing sessions completely comfortable. The drive belts have shown zero slip or squeal even when powering through heavy spring growth. Tire pressure needed a minor tweak out of the crate, but once dialed in it cuts like a dream.
Sean B. (verified owner) –
The oil drain tube is routed cleanly so routine oil changes can be completed without spills. The oil filter and spark plug are positioned for painless access during seasonal tune-ups. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality.
