I needed to change mower and I found this model to a dealership near my home. I was able to have a live demo and realize the quality of the material. Perfect for the dimensions of my field, I did not hesitate. After we will have to wait 3 or 4 seasons clippings to really enjoy this machine. Furthermore it was shown 30 euros cheaper than at Amazon .... with a maintenance monitoring and advice in support! After a first field test, I find that it is powerful, the grass a little high and thick does not scare him. It is a bit heavy but that is synonymous with robustness. The collection basket is he too heavy. So when it is full ... More emptying is not easy. One (bad) surprise: the clutch cable does not want to handle the same name ... I have, so the fix with a small wire and I will fix this in the next revision. The cleaning is not very easy, there are many rough edges where the grass will get stuck and it is difficult to dislodge as much as within empty the tanks can not tilt the machine on the side, it actually takes the nose and in this position it does not take one, there must be a support to have a free hand to clean. Apart from these few drawbacks, it is a very good mower that is not afraid of open spaces and seems reliable.
