Well, the first time I've mowed for a long period of time on one. Spent about 2.5hours on it. It's a 52" cut, IIRC. Decent size Kawasaki engine.
Darn thing bout beat me to death. The landlord said she'd knock $100 off my rent if I mowed her big ass yard. Good grief man, she's got a huge place. And there's some pretty good size bumps. But for the most part it's pretty flat.
What I learned.
It sucks mowing on the side of the ditch. Slips and slides a lot. Not near enough traction.
The grass wasn't too tall. But very thick. The mower had a hard time not losing HP in the thicker stuff. Even when I slowed down.
But the main thing was how uncomfortable it was. I see now why she wanted me to mow it for her. Good grief. Seriously like a tank. In fact, I think a tank maybe better.
I'm getting in my mind to buy a new ztr. But not going to buy a Gravely.
