I recently purchased this Lawn Tractor last summer 2008.
It is excellent on fuel and provides a comfortable smooth grass cutting experience. The seat is cushioned and has a lumbar adjustment so you can get comfortable for sitting a long duration of time.
This tractor is quite powerful for being a lawn cutting device the motor is a 26HP Briggs and Stratton which a long lasting good quality engine and I expect that this tractor will last me at least 5 years of more.
The color of the tractor is green and the turning radius is 18inches, also it has headlights so you don't have to be limited to just cutting your lawn during the day. The tractor came with an attachable mulch kit so you can accomplish mulching along with grass cutting.
This tractor is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission which runs smoothly I can hardly notice the switching of gears during the times I am operating this machine. The blade is fairly large measuring a 54" chopping down the tallest of grass and the smallest of shrubs not like my old push mower where you push into a large are of grass and the mower can't handle it with my new tractor I never have to worry about this.
This machine is equipped with a cruise control system so I can set the speed and sit back and steer this feature is great for when I am cutting large areas. My tractors steering wheel has a soft grip and doesn't make my hands sweaty while I am holding on to it. I can also choose what length I want to cut my grass with the EDGE tm cutting system I can adjust the height of the blade at 1/4" increments.
This tractor is extremely easy to clean all I have to do get the hose out and spray it down the grass comes out easily and I just scoop it up and throw it into the trash unlike modern day push mowers where you have to turn it upside down and reach your hand in there to pull out old clumps of grass.
I did pay a lot of money for my new tractor but I am glad I made this investment because this is a great lawn cutting device to have and makes the work so much easier.

- comfortable and powerful
