What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the mower's cutting performance, power, and maneuverability. Most highlight its ability to cut grass cleanly and evenly, often reducing mowing time in half while handling steep hills with excellent traction and navigating tight spaces effortlessly. Reviewers consistently describe smooth rides, sharp turns, and effective management of thick or overgrown grass across multiple acres. Many call it an excellent value for the price, appreciating intuitive controls and easy operation. However, some report mechanical issues including drive belt failures, engine start problems, and fuel system failures requiring costly repairs. Despite these concerns, most customers consider it a worthwhile investment for its performance and affordability.

Good, affordable mower

Would Recommend

Full disclosure, I haven’t mowed with it yet, BUT…the purchase was easy, the delivery was easy, and the user manual sounds like it’s going to be easy to use and also do everything I need it to do.

Delivery was scheduled between 10am & 2pm. I walk out to the front yard and find it parked in the front yard at 8AM. 2' deep 4' long gouge in the front lawn. No manual.

So far so good. 6th mow update

Would Recommend

no issues with the mower so far. everything working as should. really good mower and a upgrade from my old yt4000. Would have liked an hours meter on the unit but other then that i would recommend to others. I've noticed a lot of peoples reviews are issues pertaining to assembly from Lowes them selves. my advice is take a few minutes to look over the unit and make sure it up to standards.(oil level/no metal, nuts and bolts tight, belts present, etc.). Tips: when it 1st arrives the transmissions/...

Good value

Would Recommend

Seems like a decent mower. I haven't had enough use as of yet to truly rate it. Runs well and seems to have good speed and power. Little dissapointed that for the $700 price hike on the zero turn verses the tractor, you still get the same low end deck.

Good Mower

Would Recommend

This was my first ZTR mower and while I do like it, the steering will take some getting used to. It is very sensitive. When I was determining the mower to purchase, this one appealed to me as the specifications listed online indicated that it was capable of towing a trailer. However, when it arrived, it was obvious there was no hitch. I went back to check the online description, but it had been changed to something totally different from what I saw before placing the order. Specifications w...
