Good machine but poor quality – Lots of power, good starting & handles well. Unfortunately, even with lots if care & regular maintenance, the diff failed, ceased & locked up. Show details

Poor quality – Good mower, regularly serviced by dealeeship, about wvery 30-40hrs. All level terrain. But has been probalmatic. From almost day one, has thrown or shreaded deck belts, dealership not able to resolve. Now, only after recent service, the mower has presented another problem. It would appear the diff/transmission has had enough, the mower drive… Read more

system refuses to allow foward or reverse movement. We have never experienced these problems with our previous husvarna ride ons.

It's rusting away before it's time – Ease of use excellent, nechanically great. Unfortunately all that good engineering encapsulated by bodywork so poor just two years old, rust bubbles everywhere. Poor attention to rust protection. Looked great when new, Show details

eats belts – Right from new this mower loves to throw the drive belt. Usually, when engaging the mower, but once engaged it will usually mow for short time until it loads up on something like some heavy grass and of it comes again. so far there is only 5 hrs on the mower and on its third belt at a $103.00 Aussie each. the first time this happened it did some… Read more

damage to some pulleys so they were replaced at our cost as we told them it hit a rock so fair enough we felt responsible but since then it just flicks them off nearly all the time usually damaging the belt in the process. ill review this review once I get some idea on what's really going on. so far it looks like we've bought a $4500.00 lemon.

Excellent mower – I haven’t been allowed on the mower yet, My wife Faye does most of the mowing, upgraded from a 15 year old Viking ( by Sthil ), Faye’s comments, very neat & tidy cutting, a lot faster than the previous mower( both 42” cut) very manoeuvrable, One tank of fuel will cut our 1 acre block at least 3 times. From my point of view, very well built,… Read more

fabricated deck is well made & solid, finish is very good all round, Comfotable driving position, only down side but not really an issue, no mulching kit offered with the mower, but the finished cut is that good, it doesn’t really matter.

Would recommend one of these to any one with an acre up to probably 5 acres, we have fitted a 50 lt spray tank to the mower with pump etc, extra wiring point under the bonnet was very handy for this job

Great for 5 acre property – This mower runs like a dream. Have just done my first ten hours without a hiccup. Easy to drive and suits larger framed humans with it adjustable seat. A area that once took three hours to mow now takes half the time and the welded deck is far superior to the pressed metal on my old Murray. It has a nice tight turning circle and mows in reverse If… Read more

you look at the specs it pretty much matches the john Deere yard tractor specs But a little cheaper. Well worth the purchase.

Very good mower, well built – We picked this mower up on Friday, then took it to our undeveloped 2.5 acre block on Saturday. We were mowing through 20 to 20cm long grass without issue. The fabricated deck appears to be well built, and cleared the grass well. The engine, a 25hp Briggs and Stratton, had plenty of grunt and did not appear to struggle anywhere. What we liked is… Read more ·  3

the mower, except for a few shroud pieces, is all metal. It was also economical on fuel, the 2.5 acres only took approx 1/2 a tank.

I did not expect this quality from this manufacturer. I am hoping that long term ownership is just as rewarding. So far I would reccomend this mower.
