    I got one of these 2 weeks ago, mowed my 5.5 acre horse property that has no horses. it did great, the pastures had not been cut all summer, were 2 ft tall grass and weeds. Had to make two passes in the deep stuff but the whole place looks like a lawn now. Engine is very powerful, I have the Kawasaki.

      Thanks for the question. In my opinion I think it's a really good zero turn for the money (you can usually find them on sale). I have 5 acres and I still like mine and I have 177 hours on it. Hope this helps.

    Good luck finding tires that grip better on wet grass. You said you mow when the grass is still damp and that's why those tires don't grip well on slopes. Let us know if you find tires that do grip well on wet grass.

    According to the manual should change engine oil and filter after first 8 hours then after that every 100 hours.

    • @davidkellum1018
      @davidkellum1018 3 роки тому +2

      That hit me too when he said I have 108 hours on it and have not done any maintenance. I thought maybe he was being tongue and cheek when he said he that. It’s important to get the breaking oil out at or about the time given in the manual (8 hrs) because there will be metal fragments that can damage or excessive ware the engine in the oil in the first oil change. Just saying.

    @llkj2121 2 роки тому +3

    I'm currently researching mowers, looking at zero turn styles...Accordingly I've read from multiple sources that these types of mowers slip easily on sloping terrain, so it's just the physics of the mower and likely nothing to do with your tires.

  • @Proud2bashamed
    @Proud2bashamed 10 місяців тому +1

    I suggest anyone who lives on any kind of incline and has this mower to invest in studded tractor or off-road ATV style tires. "Turf saver" tires are already prone to slipping and the hydros on this particular mower are not very good at easing on the power. These 2 things combined with any type of incline and you will do far more damage to your lawn from constant slipping with turf savers than you ever will running tires with an aggressive tread.
    Keep in mind though that there is very little clearance between the body and the stock tire so if you want to go any wider you'll need some kind of spacer.

    I just bought a twin, Husqvarna with the Kawasaki engine, to the one being reviewed. The manual says you must use 91 octane fuel or higher. I like to use regular fuel with no ethanol but I only have access to 87 octane. Octane boosters seem to be too harsh and possibly cause engine damage. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

    • @Dogebreadzz
      @Dogebreadzz 2 роки тому

      Well usually the manual says the recommended octane so it would probably be fine with 87. Here in Australia though our minimum octane is 91 and our mowers recommend 95 so it doesn’t really matter what you use.

      @@andrewsbbq7876 been using for a month now. Probably have 4 cuts with it. I'd say the cut quality is about the same. But main reason I like it..... it seems like the wind would always blow 30mph when I cut the grass in the past, so It was super nice not coming out of the chute and blowing grass in my face!! It's a good buy for the price, and I plan on keeping it on the mower.

      It all depends, I think they range about $2400-$3000, but you can get them on sale about this time of year for $2000-$2400 that's for a new one. You might be able to pick up a good used one for $1200-$1500 it just depends. Thanks for the question and hope that answer it. Hope you have an awesome weekend.
