I would imagine they are pretty good machines for mowing grass. I don't do anything else with my mowers but mow grass so IF I were to consider a new one (that'll never happen cause I'm too cheap
), I would at least give them a look. My biggest problem with Cadet no is no dealer support in my area. Keep us posted, there are several of us here that are hoping Cadet still makes something besides the throw away machines at the big box stores.
