One solid piece of lawn equipment!

I purchased this last year to replace my aging rear wheel drive Husqvarna. I was skeptical about the personal pace feature, but quickly found out it works flawlessly! The all wheel drive was my main reason to buy since I have multiple banks to mow – i was not disappointed! This feature substantially adds stability to cutting the banks. That being said, this is also why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. I found that the engine would flood and stall if I cut across steep banks with the carburetor on the downhill side – if I cut the opposite direction it is fine. An extreme situation, but common for my yard. I had to alter my mowing style to accommodate this hiccup. Other than that, it has sufficient power to mulch (except in very heavy or wet conditions), and starts easily. I would buy this mower again.
