I just got my Pro mag today,on the back cover they show an eXmark mowing. The path behind it seems odd,very odd tire tracks ,stripe on left blade. My clients will not have that type of cut. For over $ 10,000 dollars i eXpect a perfect cut. I just am wondering if any one else has these eXpectations.

I have not seen it yet. Also I belive they didn't even mow it with that mower.
Look at this thread also.

How on earth can you judge the quality of a cut from a black and white picture on a magazine?:confused: I have it in front of me. It looks like a typical stripe to me. You can barely even see the stripe because the picture is not in color.

black and white is sharper than color. Sorry, not trying to argue but its true

Its a shadow. Look at it in relation to the shadow on the fence.

Im not trying to argue either. You cant look at that picture and give a fair judgment on how a Lazer cuts. It is only a picture of one stripe. If you really want to see how one cuts, go to a dealer and demo one. Im sure some one on LawnSite can show you a picture of a lawn cut with a Lazer.
I personally dont own a Lazer. I have seen them in action, and I have never thought they give a poor cut. I just think its unfair to judge from that picture.

60" Lazer, not the best lawn or pic, but you get the picture.
It's cut and striped well.

It's just an add for a lawnmower.
I can't get past the guy on the front cover that is driving that POS lazer with one anti-scalp wheel missing and the deflector chute all bent to hell. Their is another photo on page 5 that shows more. What a turd box, sick part is the guy does $1.2 million in sales. I think when spring gets here I'm gonna drive my lazer into a tree a couple times and never wash it, hopefully my sales will go up then. :confused:
I don't know if any of you get the magazine Landscape Management, but there is a picture on the back cover of a Bunton mower and the picture is the bottom of their deck. Well, in the front center where the deck meets and is welded together in a v shape, right where the center anti-scalp roller is, the fricken' deck isn't even close to lining up where it is welded. If anyone has the magazine they'll know what I'm talking about. Real good quality control on that deck, not.

Now that I have finaly seen the ad, it's what you would call matted down grass. Any and all mowers will do that "WHEN" you drive over the same spot multiple times.
The blade on the mower probably have never cut grass.
If you would notice the grass on the tires. The pass may have been cut days prior to the taking of the photo for the ad.
BTW the B&W photo I posted is a pretty good example of it doen't look any different.
And if you were using a very epensive camera back maby 15 years, B&W pic were of better quality, but then this is 2002 in the digital world.

i am no photo expert, but as i look at that picture, it looks as though the mower is actually superimposed onto the picture. I could be wrong, and even though there is a shadow from the fellow, and the mower, It just doesnt look like the mower is ACTUALLY on that field.
