I just purchased this mower and it was delivered last Wednesday.
Like any new toy, I had to try it out but not until I installed the mulching kit I also ordered.
The mulch kit was a simple installation except for one of the nuts being .375-16UNC (too large), so I used some 5/16-18 nuts and double nutted the one stud.
I have a relatively flat lawn, but not real smooth.
I mowed at about half speed since my legs blocked the handles unless I have my feet over the front foot rest like a foot stool.
The cut was exceptional.
I weigh 230 lbs and no issues with the power available since it is recommended to run this machine at full throttle.
The only hassle so far has been not being able to scrape out all the grass clippings stuck on the inside of the deck.
It really stinks up the garage in spite of getting a large amount of the clippings out with an old bondo scraper.
Once the rain stops around here I will wait for the grass to dry and try it again.
Hope this helps you with your decision.
