Pros
-Tractor is quick, doesn't slow down for turns,
-turns sharp,
-has heavy duty cutting blades,
-good power,
-effortless power steering,
-Kubota diesel,
-shaft drive.
Cons
-I trim around a lot of trees and shrubs. The deck lift lever is on the left side which is used for getting in close to things (the right side has the discharge chute that prevents getting close to trees) and gets hooked on branches which lifts the deck while you continue on unknowingly not cutting grass because the deck is lifted. Very badly positioned...
-the gauge wheels dig into the grass on sharp turns. These are also seemingly weak and should be replaced with swivel type wheels.
-gas tank could be bigger,
-the seat needs better side bolsters to hold you on,
-needs a mulching kit,
-operator sits very high, need to duck under trees.
