Overall a good machine but! after one year of use the throttle is very stiff to the point that it becomes tiring resulting in the throttle trigger breaking.
After 20 hours of work, it developed a problem that they are trying to figure out what it is. They said it might be membranes, but they are still investigating
The first impressions are quite positive. The plastics appear to be of good quality that will withstand the test of time, and the 32cm fishing rod looks sturdy. The attachment is professional and very convenient, which helps a lot in working with it for hours without being burdened by its weight.
In terms of performance, the machine is powerful in practice without many vibrations and doesn't seem to struggle (even with half throttle), even in very difficult fields with dense grass. The head it comes with is of good quality, but personally, it didn't suit me as it is made of plastic with thin nylon string, and the system of hitting it on the ground to release the string is not something I consider good for the axis. I replaced it with a simple aluminum one from Agroforce and a twisted nylon string from Vortex that doesn't break easily. I mowed 7 acres with dense grass and the string didn't need to be changed with minimal wear.
The machine, purchased for 380, seems to be worth its money, although time will tell if it was a good purchase instead of a cheaper Chinese one.
