    Looks amazing. I believe EGO is doing something similar with their updated Z6 zero turn coming in 2023. They both using steering wheels though. Maybe EGO will offer a lap bar version. That would be a game changer!

    • @kdegraa
      @kdegraa Před rokem +1

      It turns out the steering wheel on the Ego mower only controls the back wheels, not the front. The front wheels are free spinning castors. So this mower behaves pretty well exactly the same way as an Ego zero turn mower because this is what it is.

    • @MachineryNation
      @MachineryNation  Před rokem

      Yes, we have used them all. The only time we have seen this is when the tracking was slightly out on the front wheels. It made the mower drag to one side even when going up and down the slope and loading on ramps. Might be worth checking 👍🏼

      Just because you have a beard doesn't make you an authority on mowers. My wife does like sticks she loves the steering wheel. Only thing I personally don't like about this mowers they don't have a floating deck unlike my sc2400 yanmar with I might add has front and rear pto three point hitch and is just a powerhouse! You can have your green machine which rates right up there with a John Deere which is also a piece of garbage!

    A zero turn machine, of any kind is absolutely stupid.
    Yes it might be more comfortable for ppl not used to running a machine where you control movement independently each side.
    But movement is much more precise when operator has precise control over the wheels/ tracks on.each side independently
