We broke down and finally bought 1. Wow are they great. Only regret is not getting one 5 years ago. I borrowed a co-workers for a day and that was enough to make the decision for a co-landowner and I to buy 1.

Mother in law bought the walk behind and a tow behind regular style brush mowers about 15 years ago. Both machines have been work horses. Have had a few minor repairs through the years but customer service has always been top notch.

They have a wild return policy, and they sell off the used one's and warranty repairs at a discount too.

It's a great mower. 1 weakness it has is the front guard. The front guard (unless mowing grass) will get shredded in 1 season. I commented to the manufacturer about this & they sent me a new 1, but it won't hold up. I've been forced to run it without a guard in front (ensuring no one is standing in front of me). I'm pondering trying to make some sort of guard somehow. Brush tears the current 1 to shreds in no time. Otherwise the mower is fantastic & I would highly recommend it.

There's something about the mower that I discovered, am concerned about, & am trying to figure out:

The 'compartment/housing' back at the rear of the drive belt is somewhat open, although very hard to get to to clean it. It collects some seeds/chaffe & seems super hard to clean as far as I can tell. I don't want to be spreading invasive seeds. It's possible if stuff goes into this compartment that it stays in the compartment but I'm not so sure.

You are smart to worry, roadside mowers are notorious for spreading invasive weeds.

Empty the seed compartment over your burn pile on a regular basis.

But what I'm saying, run, is you should see how hard it is to empty that compartment. Maybe I'm doing something wrong
