It shows the tractor cutting 3.5-4 foot tall weeds on a steep, uneven gully, using 4WD and locking diff on drop-offs, with commentary on deck height and terrain challenges. Good for BX shoppers questioning horsepower-to-deck matching on hilly, overgrown ground.
An owner sharing hands-on impressions from mowing their own property, not a dealer or sponsored review.
Yes, the owner found it works fine even on thick wet grass and tall weeds, never bogging down, stalling, or plugging the deck.
Yes, using 4WD and the locking differential, it handled steep drop-offs and a bumpy gully, though the terrain was the main challenge, not the mowing.
The owner does not necessarily recommend it since finishing mowers lack the shear protection of a brush cutter, but it worked well going slowly.
