First time in any videos I've seen the ROP folded down. I currently have a Kubota Z-421 Kommander Pro which is in great condition, with the Kawasaki FS730 engine. It's a nice mower but it's 8 years old now. I have some seasonal wet areas in my side pasture and the tracks would really help me in the early season. I think I'm going to look into this mower. The TRX 356 I believe will be the best size for my needs (2 acres) all mowed. I think I'll go with the all terrain track option. Any difficulty with the company, parts and such? I had never heard of the brand until today. Is it dependable? My Kubota has been very good as to reliability. Just had to rebuild 2 deck spindles this summer. Other than that, just routine service per the shop manual. Thanks for the video.

@@usethenoodle so I sold this mower. It was a great mower there was nothing wrong with it. Would mow anything you want I mowed 7 ft Johnson grass with out it if budging the power. It was way more mower then I needed. So that is why I sold it. Plus I don’t do great big yards any more. As far as parts. I believe Altoz is the only one you can buy the tracks from. But that was a while back when I sold it so there could be other company by now. Also regarding the tracks. If you are mowing any where close to water get the all terrain track the turf track you will get stuck. Also you saying something about the ROP being folded. I never mowed any where I would be able to roll it so never needed it up.

@@steelers454 Thanks for the reply. I have wet areas I can't get on until sometimes June. I have been using a DR String mower, self propelled to mow these wet spots which is way faster than my big Stihl weed eater (FS240) so that has helped, but using the zero turn with tracks looks like the ticket. I have 2 acres, most all of it is mowed. I found a new old stock unit a 2020 at a dealership south of me I may be able to make a deal on. I had planned on the all terrain tracks. I've stuck my Kubota Z-421 a couple times so I'm really careful to avoid the bad spots until things dry out. Again, thanks for the answer.

that is a horrible design. They should have made it with a pressure cylinder (grease filled) like a skid steer, so that it can be done on the fly when out in the field and to allow for adjustments due to the tracks stretching (bad design).

This blower is absolutely horrible. Used it to clean my yard of leaves. Once I emptied the gas tank just one time, now it bogs down and shuts off after about 2 minutes of working properly. Every time I go to give it more power by squeezing the throttle, it literally bogs out and almost floods. Then trying to start it back up, you can never get it to blow leaves well afterwards. DO NOT BUY!!!

Hi I'm thinking about purchasing this trx have you had any issues with your mower since purchased? Also when you have grass that tall start off at a higher cutting height and make you first cut then drop another inch or so the cut again then finally at the height you want it to stay. It helps to keep the clipping smaller!! Keep on doing what you are doing improve everyday

Hi Micheal, Love the mower. No I have not had any major issues sense I have had the mower and going on three years and it has 130 hours on it. the only thing I have had was in the the gas tank on one side where you fill it there was a metal ring/ tube that fell inside the tank. they redesigned it now so it in on the top of the filler instead of inside. but it happen during the warranty year so no cost to me. no other issues. I have both style of tracks and used both. I would say if you are not going to use it for finish yard go with all terrain tracks. But if you are going to use it for a finish yard go with turf. Also thinks for the advice. I hope I answered your question. if you get one i have other video on how to changed the track and shim them if you ever need to do any of that.

Hi Austin replacement time frame on the tracks all depend on what you are driving over.. If you just stay on grass then I would probably say they would last 500 to 700 hours. But if you are hard on them and driving on concrete and over rocks a lot you light only get 250 hours out of a set. the replacement cost of the tracks are $1200 to 1400 a set. I have both types of tracks and I have never had them come off. The way they are designed they should not come off. Hope this helps.
