This mower is a beast
Excellent cut and easy to use. I have some sections that exceed the slope rating, but I have no problem when going down the slope instead of across. Very well built and sturdy.

No regrets, great addition to my yard tools
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My property is fairly large (4 1/2 acres) and also pretty steep. This machine makes mowing a piece of cake.

Built to last
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this zero turn mower with the steering wheel. It has a smooth ride once you learn to use the petals correctly. The seat is comfortable and can be moved to where you can reach the petals the best. I like the steering wheel it makes it more like a regular mower. You can cut a yard in very little time with this mower.
The mower comes crated well and covered in a heavy plastic that does an excellent job of keeping it clean. You will need help getting it uncrated and on the ground. Be sure to connect the battery under the seat and add a good grade of gas before you try to start it. I love the fact that when you try to get off the seat if the mower is running that it will shut off. This is a great safety feature. You may want to wear ear protection when you are using the mower. It has 15 different positions for the mowing height. You can adjust the steering wheel to the position that is the most comfortable for you. The cup holder is a great feature for you to have something to drink while you are mowing in the sun. This mower is built very sturdy and off heavy duty metal. It is built to last for many years.

Great Product
Very quick and responsive. I like the big motor and smaller 42 inch deck. Gets the job done.
