not a big fan of these. i have used 2 of these and while they cut ok the fact that they cant make quick changes in direction or stop quickly because the tires slide on the grass and even concrete. its like the tires dont have enough surface area on the ground to stop that weight. even when your not traveling very fast but need to turn to go around a corner or tree the mower keeps going forward and the tires will be stopped or reversing tearing up grass.

I mostly use heavier duty commercial mowers that dont do this so maybe its me being to used to driving them. also i have not driven other brands that would be compatible to this model so maybe all of these types have this issue.
does anyone else notice this on these lighter weight mowers?

A neighbor across the way has one & he flies on it. He loves it. I have never seen him slide or anything like that. He mows his place a 2 empty lots next to him.

Mine is a smaller Timecutter 4260, but I can almost keep up with my other neighbors Z Master, only because I can turn much quicker etc.

I looked at the Titans, but for just my place, it would be a lil overkill. imo. But I think they must do pretty good, I see some mow companies using them too.
