Good Mower
Model Year: 2014
This is the best mower I have used or owned in 50 years. It is fairly quiet; starts well; mulches well; does not slow down in thick, succulent grass, does not leave clumps, and does not leave wheel tracks of clippings. The ground speed was too slow for me, but the dealer was able to increase it so that it must be doing about six miles per hour now. Fast enough! I wish it had a side discharge to let me clean the edges; but I have another mower, and my wife does edge trimming with that. Compared to the convenience of the quick, one-handed turns my old John Deere offered, this mower is cumbersome. I eventually learned not to pinch my thumb.
Pros: Mulches well, quiet
Cons: Turns are cumbersome and require both hands.
