Nice looking machine, but I continue to be disappointed over the run-time of modern electrics (Hustler Zeon is the same). This is a one acre machine. Seems hard to believe you would really need a zero-turn mower for a one acre yard front and back. You are not going to use this on a large yard or in a commercial lawn business. A 40 year old Elec-Trak with the Aux. Power Pack Booster (AP84) on it was advertised at nearly 5 acres- my experience is about 3 1/2 but all the same that's 3+ recharges on the Cub or Hustler. Also with zero-turns the lack of attachments stands-out. I'll stick with Ole Yella' for now. : )
