Overview

This is a long-term owner's retrospective after roughly three years and 140-200 hours on a 2025R, not a spec walkthrough or first-drive. It covers real-world attachment experience: belly mower vs. brush hog vs. zero-turn for mowing, backhoe use and its learning curve, box blade, rototiller, rock rake, loaded tires, front forks, and hauling setup. Best for buyers weighing attachments and long-term reliability rather than initial performance or pricing.

An owner sharing unsponsored, hands-on impressions from years of personal use on his own property.
