Model Year: 0

My place has steep hills, some rough terrain and many trees. Powerful engine, locking differential, short turning radius and smooth cutting deck. Goes up steep hills without losing traction. Wet ground no problem. Cuts tall and heavy grass at 3/4 throttle. Goes up a hill backward that my old tractor loses traction on going forward. Did not find a comparable featured model from other manufacturers with locking differential.

Pros: 2 cyl. powerful 21.5 HP Kawasaki engine, Locking differential, generally cuts even tall grass at 3/4 throttle with no bog down, steep hills or wet conditions no problem. Battery condition indicator.
Cons: Deck bumps against bolt on each side of chassis, reverse pedal doesn't engage as easy as forward pedal, no gas gauge, chassis squeaks on rough terrain. Prefer deck with 1 inch higher ground clearance.

I have used it very little but I can say this about It has real good power and cuts good. The thing I don't like is the deck is a welded really heave duded will not float on it and tins to cut in the grass over hilly ground.

Pros: Cuts good, has a lot of power, looks good.
Cons: The deck cuts into the ground.

I am reasonably pleased with the quality and performance of this unremarkable lawn tractor. I like the step-through feature for comfort, but the over-the-top safety features such as a separate pedal for reverse operation, and the necessity for a special ignition switch position for reverse cutting is something of a pain. I realize that OSHA is likely responsible for such features, and if it saves a family from serious injury, then it is certainly worth the inconvenience. Nothing to show off to my friends; no PTO, no hydraulic operations of course. Just a plain vanilla workhorse for a suburban 2- acre lawn that has not disappointed to date.

Pros: Reliable, comfortable mounting and riding.
Cons: Inconvenient reverse operation.
