Fantastic Mower, Powerful Kohler Engine, Awesome Cutting Deck and Smooth Ride! My old mower had a 42" wide deck but it was slow and even after replacing the blades I would have to mow the grass twice to make a clean cut. This new 22hp Kohler 46" Deck lets me cut it once and about 2 MPH faster! Best investment yet!!!!

I bought this mower late February 2013 as it had everything on my want list. I am overall extremely pleased with my decision to buy this new model. The seat is very comfortable and the 46" cutting deck makes quick work of my less than acre property. Top speed lacks a little to be desired compared to other models I have used with less hp. The feature I dislike the most is the inability to mow in reverse. If your deck is engaged and you try and go into reverse your mower will simply turn off. One interesting thing about this mower is that your fender control acts as your gas and brake pedal. Your foot brake is strictly an emergency brake and is not to be used to slow or stop the mower. This took some getting used to, but I really like this feature now.

So I was torn between this new model and the tight turn 3000. I researched the reviews and realized both machines are great. The ***** Troy Built is very similar to this and has a ton of reviews that are very good. The engine is very strong and doesnt bog down in wet grass or hills. The reverse does not allow mowing but that can be dealt with easily. Great seat, great hydro tranny and steering wheel. Comfortable machine. For this price you get an outstanding full oil pressure engine a Hydro fender shift transmission, cast iron front axle with grease serts and easy deck controls on fender! The YT3000 at this price was a 42" manual tran. with PTO blade lever above the steering wheel which I dont like due to seat safety switch. I purchased a 3500 in 2008 which belongs to my Dad now and it has been a great mower. The PTO lever above steering was not a like. The bad on this LT2500 is the puny weak lever in back of hydro tran. for disengagement to allow freewheeling pushing.
