The tight turning radis helps to trim around trees and flower beds. My wife didn't see the need to spend that kind of money on a tractor that would only cut grass, but now that I have some extra time to work on her project she is pleased also. The only trouble I have had with mine is one time something happened (???) and none of the safety features( back up switch, seat switch, blade switch, ect.) would work and once you started it the key switch would not turn it off. Dealer fixed it under warranty but never told me what the problem was. Other than that it has been great. I don't mind cutting grass anymore.
Your combination box failed for all safety functions to quit like that. As far as not shutting off are you sure this happened? Had to be a defective ignition switch or air/fuel shut off solenoid ( shorted coil ). Wait until you have to change a belt and see how you feel about this bagger. Those piles get old cleaning them up year after year.
