Great video - does it ever feel tippy with the boom extended out mowing these pond banks like that? Do you feel the KX 040-4 can sufficiently run that attachment? Or do you feel it lacking and sometimes with for the 57? i'm in-between machines and curious on your perspective
It’s pretty stable as long as you keep your movements smooth. The 040 does fine but I’d rather have the 57. I only got the 040 cause I can haul it in my dump trailer when I need to. It has plenty of power to run the cutter, it would be nice to have just a little bit more reach though. There’s a lot of situations where I’m just about a foot short on being able to reach something, the 57 would fill that gap

Looks like you’ve had this mower for about a year. Are you still happy with it? How does it handle blackberries?
Idk about the blackberries, but I’ve beat the absolute crap out of this mower and it just keeps going. I would definitely recommend vmc equipment
