Loose bolts, short belt life, poor support
The unit arrived with several loose bolts and belts that failed after about 15 minutes. Replacement belts were found to be unusable due to shelf rot. An order for parts was incomplete, and a call about it led to an accusation of dishonesty and a hang-up. An email later advised finding another seller. Belts from another brand reportedly last longer but cost more. The mower is used in a 50-acre orchard, where frequent belt changes are undesirable.
Pros
- + Can be repaired by anyone
Cons
- − Loose bolts on arrival
- − Belts fail quickly
- − Spare belts unusable from shelf rot
- − Incomplete parts order
- − Unhelpful and accusatory customer service
- − Told to find another seller

Poor Quality Control and Oil Leaks
This mower was purchased to replace an old brush hog. Multiple contacts with the seller were needed because parts were missing or incorrect. Assembly, greasing, and oiling were required. Cutting performance was comparable to the old brush hog, not better. After a couple of hours of use, gear oil leaked steadily down the front and back. The PTO drive shaft must be cut to length. When the three-point hitch is raised to full height with the PTO spinning, the shaft hits the kickstand and damages both.
Pros
- + Cuts as well as an old brush hog
Cons
- − Missing or wrong parts
- − Quality control issues
- − Gear oil leak
- − PTO shaft requires cutting
- − PTO shaft hits kickstand at full height

Pros
- + easy to use
- + fantastic packaging
Cons
- − included belts are trash and shred quickly
