hey guys we just got this mower, thought I'd share pics before they break it. I've never owned/operated a walk behind and I must say I like it a lot. Defiantly takes getting use to but after about 20mins I had the hang of it.... of course I don't drive it anyways I just wanted to say I could. Keep the respect you know. What's very neat (didn't know it did this when I bought it) is the handle grips can tell when you're touching it so once you let go it'll shut off, nice safety feature.

Sweet mower. Those grips look like the most comfortable pistol grips.

nice rig dude! just curious.... how well do these turn riding a sulky. i have a small walk behind but it has no sulky. just walking behind it i can get a zero turn out of it but how difficult is it on a sulky?

this was a used unit, had 10hrs, $4500... i traded a bit of junk and got it for $1k. Works good for what we needed, personally I'd rather gotten a stander but this was >$. The sulky works good, impossible to back up with but alright.

can you let go of one hand without it shutting off?? because with my operator presence handle i can hold it down with one hand and its pretty handy being able to do it with one hand

this one has some kind of electrical thing on the handles, there is a lever too if you're wearing gloves, but as long as you have 1 finger on it it'll keep running.... i didn't even know it did that till my guys showed it to me, i didn't really know what I was buying, just needed it quick.

I'm demoing one of those mowers right now. Wish I needed it, because my dealer has a great deal on them. We're talking prices that would put Better Outdoor Products to shame. He's letting me use it to see how I like it and hopefully sell a couple for him to people I know. If anybody in NC or SC wants one, PM me and I'll give you the details.
The sensor grip is something I hadn't really noticed. I kept holding down the lever, but when my uncle was trying it out, he let go of the lever and it didn't shut off. I guess he still had his hand on the sensor grip.
I'm going to get a 36" ComfortControl DD soon. After using this 52", I had to use my 33" Cub Cadet for a gated back yard and I realized how fatiguing it is to use.
Someone mentioned the pistol grips looking pretty comfortable...they are. The positioning is very natural. The angles of your wrists are comfortable and this machine will literally drive itself.
