    This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use kzread.infoUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.

    Awww... she's SO pretty! Talented too. Think she's a keeper! Main thing is a willingness to learn... We all gotta start somewhere! I started on lawn tractors, moved up to the Ford 8N Jubilee raking hay, then cutting hay with the sickle bar, and then shredding cotton stalks on the Ford 6600... Then Grandpa died and I ended up doing nearly everything within a year because Dad worked full time. Keep up the good work! OL J R :)

    Ryan, you can use a stick under the deck start switch, to keep it up, so the deck doesn't shut down when you back up. We bought one last year, May too, 738, 4 wheel drive one. I got half of a clothes pin, tide a plastic string around the think end, tide the other end around the steering column. Use the narrow end to stick it under the switch, in as far as the notch on the pin, so it can't slip out. We have a 345 too, same stick under the switch to hold it up.

Look I get that you "think" you know everything but the fact is if you did......you would have had the earplugs in. Maybe take the criticism for what it is instead of spiting your viewers for pointing out something that you obviously overlooked. Maybe a better reply would look like....."yeah I know I should but I didn't this time" Because then you at least acknowledge that you do see your own mistakes.
