Big Purchase Made Easy!
By Rudolph W.

Purchased 10/08/2018 | 
Review Posted 10/21/2018 
I hooked the battery up, filled it with gasoline, and followed the setup guide. This mower is comfortable to ride and all controls are easy to access. Love the hydrostatic transmission. My previous mower had gears to shift meaning I had to stop to change gears or go in reverse. This pedal-operated transmission allows me to just depress the pedal to speed up and to let it up to slow down. The mower cuts my lawn very evenly even on small bumps and hills. Plenty of power! I love it.

Really Happy So Far
By Ronald F. 
Wadsworth, Illinois
Purchased 08/31/2018 | 
Review Posted 09/27/2018 
This is the first lawn tractor I've owned that can climb the slope between my yard and my neighbors. All the books state don't drive horizontal on a slope above 15 degrees. I had to take the risk or break out the push mower.

Only two things bug me, right out of the crate it is the loudest mower I have ever owned. Second, the seat doesn't stay locked in place. Last time I adjusted the seat it seemed to stay locked, will see next time I mow.

Mowed the lawn 3 times so far (one acre). Nice even cut without any adjustment on my part.

My Honest Opinion
By Nicholas M. 
Senoia, Georgia
Purchased 07/28/2018 | 
Review Posted 08/21/2018 
Upgrading from a push mower, I’ve cut my mow time down by 2/3, saving my energy and time by an hour. Qualifying for no interest was icing on the cake. My productivity has increased tenfold because of the energy I save and improved mood.

The only reason it’s not a 5 Star is a lack of storage on the tractor. The left side could have storage and yet, it’s a repeated metal template for all the other models. I see metal with a hole, utilized in a higher priced model, but don’t understand why a cap/cup holder/basket can’t be inserted.

First Rider

Review Posted 08/15/2018 
Really like the ease of using the reverse pedal instead of having to shift it into gear. Turning radius is pretty good. Have some issues though. One of the headlights doesn’t work. It's not the bulb and all the wiring is hooked up. Also, have a broken piece of plastic on the fender that was missed when I received it. Also, the engine backfired when it is shut off. Even with the throttle set to the lowest setting before shutting it off, it still backfired. Overall, it is a nice mower and gets the job done pretty quick.
