I have very steep hills that I mow. I was using an ancient Mott Flail mower behind my ATV. It's engine was tired and the blades don't last too long because they are very thin. I went for this bad boy for it's electric start engine and heavier blades. It is very nice. It is alot heavier than the old one and it is wider because of the big tires and adjusting mechanism. It cuts 4 ft but is 6 ft wide. It is flush with ATV on the right side but sticks out almost 2 feet on the left side. That takes getting used to. Has plenty of power. Doesn't bog down. I feel that it will last forever due to it's construction. Well made.
