I have a friend with a 1025R and a belly mower. He says he never mows with it after trying it once because it doesn't cut his lawn evenly. I was surprised to hear this, and trying to get details out of him about it, it sounds like his yard is too hilly, and when he crosses the hill while cutting, the mid mount mower cuts too close on one side, and too long on the other. After he looked at my yard at our new house, and how flat it was, he said it would probably work good for me.
His description confused me, as I've been to his house, and other than mild landscaping swales, I thought his yard was a pretty typical yard. He's not a "tractor guy", so it's hard to talk out the issue with him. I've offered to come over and look his mower setup over, or bring his tractor over to my yard and try it there, as I'm still thinking he has a setup, adjustment or driver operator problem. I don't know if he has the 54 or 60 inch deck, but he did say it was the "auto-connect" one.
Next time I visit him at his house, I'm going to try and talk him into getting it out and look it over.
He's still cutting his lawn with a basic riding mower that he bought before getting the 1025R, which he says the rider leaves a better cut.
