Review:
well what can i say, it's a gr8 machine. contrary to it's description, it does come with cruise control, a nice suprise! easy to get up and running. in less then half an hour i was mowing my lawn. it arrived fully crated, good thing we got the lift service
for the extra 50 dollars, was well worth it. has power to spare and i cannot wait to mow the grass again, it's a real joy. also got the snowblower attachement, now for some snow. cannot say much for the hose attachment thing for cleaning the deck. does not
do that gr8 of a job. if your picky like me, there is no substitute for getting your hands dirty and doing it yourself. and as for the battery charger, be prepared to buy this optional part. but go to Amazon.com to get it for less then half the price, just
type in ctek battery charger, it's the only one that will fit the built in plug. which can also easily be disconnected if your not going to use it. otherwise it flashes constantly to tell you what state your battery is in. let's see, what else, oh did i mention
how quiet this machine is? compared to my old machine and to my neighbors, this thing is quiet, which is a good thing. also found out that the ROS system can be left on without doing any damage, that too is gr8. other wise you must stop and either push in
the button to stop the blades, or turn the key to the ROS position to be able to go in reverse. if not, the mower will shut off, i mean shut off completely. another one of those stupid safety things, go figure. so if your going to mow in reverse, and im sure
you will at some point, just start her up and then put the key in the ROS position and leave it there. then if reversing comes up, you can just step on the pedal and go. now that's much better! same goes for the seat, if you get up, well you know..... aside
from these little stupid things, i think this is a gr8 machine that should last us for many many years. it is very well made. the only thing they could have done better was to make the hood metal instead of i think it's plastic. oh well ya can't have everything.
as far as maintenance, well everything was well thought of ahead of time, lots of grease fittings where you need them to be and easy to get at. easy to change the oil, blades and belts. wonderful warranties, what more could you ask? plus you get free shipping
to your door, (just make sure you pay the extra 50, unless you have a forklift) and NO, ramps and all the friends in the world will NOT get this thing off the truck! just so you know. and the best part.. saved it for last...........NO TAX!!!! Thanks Jacks
for the gr8 service and followup, your the Best and i highly recommend Mowers at jacks!
