Thats actually a brand I have never heard of. Locally (40 mi radius--most much closer) we can get Deere, Cadet, Gravely, Dixie Chopper, Snapper, Ferris, Dixon and Toro (I think), Bad Boy, maybe even Scag and I think Bobcat. Now that I list them, thats a LOT of different brands. What scares me on stuff like that is the lack of decades old dealership network for many of them. Oh yeah, forgot the granddaddy of ZTR--Grasshopper/Woods.
Hope the mower works out well. Is the directional lever the one on the right? Never seen that setup before.
