What Customers Are Saying
The lawn mower offers a smooth ride, comfortable seat, and excellent turning radius. Customers praise its powerful V-twin engine that handles tough grass and hills well, providing a clean, even cut. However, some users have experienced issues with the bagger, belt slippage, and build quality concerns. A few also reported initial startup problems or missing/damaged parts. Overall, the mower appears to be a solid choice for small to medium-sized yards, though customers should be aware of the potential quality control concerns.

Just 34 hours and the hydrostatic transmission failed! Past the time warrant of course. $1,300.00 for new transmission. Very, very disappointed.

eats deck belts
I have just installed my fourth deck belt in two years. It tears them up. Also, the belt comes off every time you disengage the blade unless you raise the deck all the way up before disengaging the blades

Easy to use, good quality
Bought in June 2019 so have about 3 seasons on it. Delivery by Lowes was OK, a few minor scratches and was not assembled completely but if you have a few hand tools it was easy to get the bumper on and get all the packaging removed. Runs and cuts nicely allowing me to cut 3/4 acre yard in under an hour. The twin cyl motor is fairly quiet and all the controls are well thought out and work smoothly. Quality is not as good as say the John Deere X series but it is quite good considering the price. N...
Nice mower
Bought this two years ago and has a full season on it now. We mow two lawns with it. Each lawn is about an acre. No problems to date. What can I say it runs like a Deere!
Unlevel cut, blows grass everywhere
Bought this to quit walking. I've adjusted deck, checked air in tires, checked blades still cuts unevenly. Bought mulch kit to make life easier but it just blows grass everywhere and leaves are blown ahead and sideways as you cut. Was going to buy bagger but it's pointless. This isn't my first tractor. Grew up with an awesome Cub Cadet and a Sabre but those were $5-6000 machines...
Transmission Shot at 18 hours
Ran fine until the 18 hour mark. Hydrostat drive lost all power in forward and reverse. Smoke smell coming from transmission housing.
