I am partial to the third style

I am partial to the third style

The second seems too complicated and more things to go wrong.

I feel like walk behinds are way to complicated.

Have you ever used that style of drive??

Have you ever used that style of drive??

Yes on a scag 36 advantage. For about 7 seasons took some getting used to but once you do its like second nature

I also demo'd the second type didn't really like it but I only used it for about 5 minutes and I'm sure once you get used to it you'd grow to love it.

I used it on my Billy Goat, but it was a little different because there was no "power steering" so you had to muscle the mower around to turn it (so there was one less grip on the handles).

I used the belt drive for a couple of seasons I found it to be more of a PITA than what it was worth. He would be better off with either the Exmark 30" or the Toro-Master 30" it would be cheaper and new and the difference in productivity be tween the 36" and the 30" is near nothing. JMO
