Tire and Fuel Issues with Heavy Brush Mower
This 448-pound brush mower has tires that cannot support its weight effectively, with one flat and another half-deflated after the first use. It also consumes gasoline quickly. Raising, lowering, and leveling the machine is complicated. With only two small, flimsy wheels, scalping occurs on rough ground, unlike a previous four-wheel brush mower that never scalped. The purchase is regretted, and the plan is to sell at a loss.
Cons
- − tires unable to carry weight
- − flat tire after first use
- − second tire half-deflated
- − drinks gasoline fast
- − complicated raising, lowering, and leveling
- − scalps ground on rough terrain
- − only two small, flimsy wheels

Not for brush; works for grass only
The clutch broke within an hour of use, with plastic inside melting, though customer service replaced it quickly. Small dried branches about an inch thick repeatedly jammed in the chopping area, requiring stops every few minutes to clear them. Vines wrapped around the machine and caused it to stall, unlike a zero-turn mower. A tire also popped off the rim after roughly two hours of work. For grass, it performs well; for vines and dried dead sticks, it does not.
Pros
- + works well on grass
- + fast replacement from customer service
Cons
- − clutch broke within an hour
- − plastic inside clutch melted
- − small dried branches jam the chopping area
- − vines wrap up and stall the machine
- − tire popped off the rim after about two hours

Powerful mower, but tires are a weak point
This mower cuts down anything it goes over and is impressive aside from the tires. Delivery requires a way to move the heavy box, or assembly will happen where it is dropped. One battery bolt was missing during assembly, but support sent the replacement the next day. The tires are the main drawback: with thorns around, a tire pump is needed, as the first use caused a flat and the next use caused a flat on the other tire, requiring inflation before and during every use. Better tires are being considered.
Pros
- + cuts down anything it goes over
- + impressive performance
- + support sent missing part next day
Cons
- − delivery requires means to move heavy box
- − missing battery bolt during assembly
- − tires prone to flats with thorns
- − need to inflate tires before and during every use
