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. : )
