571 pounds strikes me as a little light, does it feel "sturdy"? Any rattling or flexing?
are the spindles sealed or greasable?
thanks Drew
btw...
very high tech piece of equipment, reminds me of the Honda lawn tractors brought out, also high tech,
but ultimately left the market place. Honda can't endanger their core engine business to compete with a garden tractor
I suppose. Never good to compete with your customers. But Husqy can do whatever they want and put any engine in they want;
it's the price point that concerns me. This looks like a $15-18K commercial Kubota outfront mower given a serious diet.
Out front mowing is a super idea, just curious to know what this unit will look like in 2000 hours.
Now how much more expensive would the 23hp Vanguard be over this "lesser" B&S? With such a classy design, why not put a premium engine in it?
Maybe they want to limit the total power delivery to the chassis/mower.
Not sure I'd want to hit a stump with this thing. But if your lawn is hilly and clear, it looks like a blast to drive.
I own some Husq equipment and have been very pleased with it.
