Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used this for 3 yrs so I have some comments:
Good Points-
1)easy to attach to tractor- just a hitch pin & a few bolts, on or off in a few minutes. MUCH quicker than a bush hog
2)powerful- really eats up woody brushy like multiflora rose quite nicely.
3)separate from propulsion- when dealing with heavy growth, you can throttle down to a crawl while leaving the mower's engine at full power to knock down overgrowth
Bad Points-
1)belt trouble- still using orginal belt but it gets off pulley for no apparent reason, have to do contortions under a hot engine to replace it. finally I just leave cover off to save wrenching time.
2)grass- it is a rough cut mower, it won't leave a smooth finish but grass seems to be more able to choke & stall it than brush.
3)hard to pull start- It was tight when new, better now but still takes a good hard pull to start- I wish I got the electric start model, more convenient to restart after a stall.
4)noisy- between tractor & mower, wear ear protection
maintanence- in three years, I've had to have main bearing replaced (immediate failure) and idler pulley-both under service contract. 1 flat tire. Motor has done fine, only changed oil & air filter, also starter rope broke this spring.
overall, I have got a lot of use on this on 23 acres, compared with a tractor mounted bush hog, it is a good value for the money.
