Got a half-acre lawn plus a half-acre rough paddock. Currently struggling with a secondhand rider and a borrowed electric Bosch. What I've taken away from watching this video is : I need to order 300 tonnes of poured concrete and bin the whole mowing idea altogether. Ta.
I got this mower specifically to be able to drive it through a 36 inch door ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend or gate It is a little tight with the grass deflector installed but has more clearance with the deflector replaced by the recycler/mulcher. This model appears to be popular and a little harder to find for that reason. I can't judge the dependability as I have only mowed the yard twice but everything else on the mower is very nice and working fine so far. I added options for the run hour timer, arm backrests, recycler/mulcher, towing bracket, deck lift assist and cover.
Had a JD Z425 for several years, mowed 2 acres every week. It was ok, but the Kubota mowers can't be beat. Most of the commercial lawn care companies around my neck of the woods run Kubota zero turn mowers, usually the diesel ones.
A great video , thank you for the information. A future video? What would you recommend as a entry level commercial ride on tractor. Lots of business owners like myself are on the verge of getting into the ride on market. What trailers would suit what mower. Etc. Thanks again. Rob. Maxwells grass cutting services.
Great video. What would you recommend for my garden, its about 5000m2, has a formal lawn but we have left most of the rest to grow tall over the summer so grass and flowers upto 30cm. Is there anything for that or do you need a flail. Ideally I need a system which I can much, collect and flail high grass! Seems like a tall order.
Very tall order Andrew. Sounds like you need to machines. Perhaps a ride on for the formal works and then a walk behind brush mower for the heavy stuff 👍🏼
When you turn back 180degrees,is there is a risk to tear up the grass like it is the case for "zero turn type". I am hesitating between rider like this and 0 turn. Do you think the rider deals better with uneven loan?
As you say, removing the baffle on the Husqvarna turns it into a discharge deck, making it as capable in long grass as a zero turn IMHO, particularly as the front wheels do not squash the grass down as much as a zero turn, because the front wheels only support a fraction of the weight of the deck, compared to front wheels of the zero turn which carry 50% weight of the entire machine.
Yes, this is true. I would say as capable as a zero turn, as the blade speed of a front deck like this would be a lot lower than a zero turn due to the long drive train of belts from the rear engine to the front deck. So front deck machines are known for burning through belts when pushed to hard because of this.
In order to get the mulching concept to work properly......you're going to be cutting way more often.....than you ever intended....... #YouveBeenWarned

Awesome, which one did you go for?

Would it be possible for you to test out John Deere ride on
I would love to involve John Deere. But I don’t think they are interested in getting involved with us. They’ve been emailed 👍🏼
@@MachineryNation nice
@@MachineryNation you have a new subscriber aswell
@@WPfarms thank you 🤩
I was hoping I would see a Countax
Not when we made this video, but Countax has recently ceased production.
Nice video and explanation Josh my friend, I'd give it a 4 🥒🥒🥒🥒's up. 🤣
😁😁
🤣 Al I figured I’d beat Josh to it this time. 👍🏼
@@Big_Johns you’ve beaten everyone. Normally 1900 before it’s mentioned!
LoL Al, I do what I can. 🤣
Hahahahah John 😂
No film clip
Pricing would have been nice.
Where’s the ego? I guess there is no need for all the others if you review the Ego Ride on
The EGO was not available to us when this video was made over 2 years ago.
