The ride is what makes the machine!!!!

The 31 Kawi labored for me during turns and take off while I was mowing. Im not big into following one brand of motor, as long as it runs good ill try anything

After running a TT with a 35 hp Vanguard for 3 years the Kawi seemed underpowered and used .5 gph more fuel. We do have about 30% bi weekly accounts and alot of slopes.

Had a demo for a little over a week and put 30 hours on it. I still prefer the TT over the Cheetah. I didn't feel the ride was much better than the TT with a suspension seat. I would like to try a Cheetah with a suspension seat or the air ride seat like is on the Gravely's.

Good luck, and enjoy the new mower!

Thank you sir

I did demo the TT and the ride is just about the same, I took the time to set the shock on the Cheetah to a softer setting. If you look on the shock it has 3 setting for the rebound. Mine is set to it's softest setting and it to the ride of the Cheetah to the next level. A little more up and down motion than most would like.
