Overview

A nine-year owner gives a candid, negative verdict on the 2025R, he wouldn't buy it again. The video covers real-world frustrations in plain terms: insufficient power for hilly mowing, stability fears on slopes, loader lift-capacity limits with pallet work, an oversized tiller mistake, and snow-removal failures. No specs deep-dive, just honest retrospective talk. Most useful for prospective buyers with hilly properties who want unfiltered long-term impressions.

An owner-operator reflecting on nine years of personal use on their own property, with no apparent dealership or brand affiliation evident in the transcript.
