Easy to assemble. Am using bagging function. Have found the mulching blade does leave some grass on the lawn which was unsatisfactory to me. Changed to a standard blade which was much better (I thatch and aerate each year for a thicker lawn). Front wheel drive is fast enough for me – rear is quite fast.

Too heavy and hard to manuver around flower beds. Tried it three times, then took it back. Can get a lighter, cheaper more that will cut the grass just as well. (Try TB240)

Great mower. The 4 wheel drive works well with the main drive in the rear. It really gets up and goes. Front drive is more of an assist going up hills. Excellent torque both the drive and the motor.I have been a Toro guy for years but believe this mower maybe equal if not better.Would easily buy again.

Box was open when I picked it up. Thankfully nothing was missing. I was tracking shipping to the store. Three days after store arrival I got an email to come get it. I went the store and they insisted it had not arrived. An hour later, they found it. Great mower so far.
