$1300 isn't bad but it more of a lawn tractor then anything.

The electrical stuff is down to low so forget water crossings. Only has front suspension so not to good for backwoods travel. The repair bill for that thing will probably cost you more then the price of the vehicle.

I like it! Dang cheap too. Must be Chinese. Single cylinder 4 stroke. I don't see a HP rating on it though... Maybe an 18??? I wonder who's motor is in it? Chonda?
Sure would be nice to load up some of my electrical stuff for working on the property and not have to pack my generator.

Generator or inverter? Not too sure how long it would remain functional before all the heat dirt and trash from mowing destroys it. Nice idea for the Internet clickers but not too sure about practically. I guess I demand a lot out of a mower.

I have seen these in person... as a lawnmower tech they are very underwhelming for everything. ..they don't mow well, slow as an atv....etc.....

I guess I'm just coming from the point of "for the price...." It's the China Rider in me! ;-)

I come from the school of thought its better to have a tool fit to the purpose at hand. It looks like it can do all those things but not sure it would do all three as well as something made for each purpose.

I think your better off with what you have 2LZ.

A couple home improvement stores carried those things.They never sold one of them.The display unit they had,they left sitting on the front lot, and no one ever stole it.I live in a high theft area too.So they eventually dumped it out on the back lot.

I was thinking alone these lines as well. I saw something like this at a Lowe's, I was a dusty orphan among the line of John deers

Lota eye candy there ...tractor pulling, v8's , mowers, and cool old work trucks

Lowes had huge reliability issues with them and was giving customers full refunds on the here in CT. They ended up pulling it from the line up of offerings.

What was the name if it? It was like a all terrain mower or something .

Seem like it was about a year ago, I bought a electric smoker cabinet then ...had so so results with it. Have to keep the temp up too high to keep the smoke going, then meat cooks t.oo fast.

No worries, I'd never replace the Husky. I spent the bigger bucks on the Kawalski 24hp V twin, posi-rear end and welded mower deck. It's one of my favorite toys. It's why I bought the Rhino, though. To give the Husky a little break for dragging things around. I was using it for everything.
