You Get What You Pay For
Model Year: 2012

Probably one of the most expensive machines you can buy, just to cut grass and pull a few implements around. We live in a hilly part of Nebraska and have a number areas of our lawn which is pretty steep. This machine can mow them while moving across a steep side hill, stop, and reverse while pointing the back end back UP hill. No other machine is capable of what this one can do. Fortunately, many do not need that kind of capability nor have the need to spend the money to get it. Unfortunately, I am not one of those. The hydraulically controlled mowing deck is extremely handy. You can raise and lower it with just a touch of a lever. In doing so you can easily avoid high centering it, rocks, and other obstacles, thus preserving it's level and cutting precision. Fuel injection, full time AWD, and a very strong frame contribute to the overall costs but also contribute to a very well designed machine. This machine is the best example of the old adage "you get what you pay for."

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Gas consumption.
