Tough Towable Mower With Minor Tweaks Needed
This towable mower handles 4-foot prairie grass, cacti, and small saplings on a 10-acre ranch when pulled by an ATV. Delivery arrives well-crated with minimal assembly. Electric start is easy, controls are simple, and power is strong without bogging down. Height adjustment is straightforward. However, the tow pin assembly is awkward and the pin bent, so it was replaced with a 2-inch ball hitch. Rear guard hinges limit maximum height until moved. A starting failure was traced to grounding and resolved with additional ground wires and a larger battery.
Pros
- + strong power without bogging down
- + easy electric start and simple controls
- + minimal assembly required
- + top-notch delivery in crate
Cons
- − awkward tow pin assembly that bent
- − rear guard hinges limit height adjustment
- − starting failure due to grounding issue

Mixed results after two years of use
After two years cutting two acres, this mower has gone through two belts, and replacing them is difficult because the middle motor area bolts must be loosened and the unit slightly lifted. Stored outside under a tarp, many internal springs and bolts have rusted, and the belt guide rusted completely after one year. Phone support was unhelpful when asking how to install a replacement belt. One blade engagement lever needed about half an hour of oiling to work again. It cuts well, the frame is sturdy, and the motor has performed very well.
Pros
- + cuts well
- + sturdy frame
- + motor performs well
Cons
- − belts wear out quickly
- − belts are difficult to change
- − internal parts rust
- − unhelpful phone support
- − blade engagement lever needed oiling

New Mower Required Repairs Right Away
This mower did not work properly out of the box. After starting it, engaging the blades caused the belt to jump off, requiring the covers to be removed and the belt put back on. It then would not start, and the covers had to be removed again to push a small button. For a mower costing $2,000, having to work on it immediately was disappointing.
Cons
- − belt jumped off when engaging blades
- − required disassembly to fix belt
- − would not start without pressing a button
- − needed repairs right out of the box
- − poor value for the price

Solid mower that cuts mowing time on large properties
This mower is used alongside a lawn tractor to cut over three acres of grass, and it has reduced mowing time. It tracks well and can handle ditch banks steeper than those comfortably mowed with a riding mower. It also cut knee-high weeds and grass on an overgrown vacant lot without bogging down, only slowing briefly in a couple of very tall patches. It is solid and well-built, and ran well from the start. The only complaint is the small fuel tank, which would be better if larger.
Pros
- + reduces mowing time
- + tracks well
- + handles steep ditch banks
- + cuts tall weeds and grass without bogging down
- + solid and well-built
- + ran well from the start
