Still likin that z-force?
I've got a tank that I really like, but not practical for my slopey ground. Will be moving in a few more years to a flatter spot, but wondering if I should keep or sell....

Yes scoutcub so far i do like it i have only mowed twice with it so far but does a great job and super fast less then half the time it took me before. I am glad of one thing that i listned to advice i got on here and didnt buy the bigger 54 in or 60 in.I will post as the summer goes on how it is going with the new mower maybe help anyone that is looking.

One more thing i thought i would post is that I can mow in reverse not sure if its new for 2011 or what. But my new z-force 48 mows both ways which is nice.

Still mowing strong like the Z-Force 48. One thing i have noticed that i dont like is the throtle control is on the out side edge of mower and dosn't lock foward and when i try and go close to bushes etc. it catches and slows mower down first time it happen thought something blew lol any how now i try to hold it when i go close to bushes but that is hard on the handI may have to make a bracket to hold it. Other wise i'm still loving itmowing is fun and fast. will try to keep posting pro's and con's as i use mower.

Any room to mount a beerholder in front of the throttle?! :laughing:

Knock out 2 birds with 1 stone......:thumbsup:

Yep, I've caught the throttle lever on pine branches and knocked it back to idle.

Wait 'till you catch the armrests on something immobile. That's a little hair raising!

Well Joel hate to admite it but i did one worse I was mowing around a tree in a circle with a hat on not sure that made that much of a differance but any way i went under a branch i didn't see about head high like to smashed me in the seat got my full attention i keep a better eye on things now. The idle thing just surpriced me when it went from a roar to idle just that quick. The tree branch could have been bad .

Just a update have about 18 hours on my Z-Force 48 inch now still liking it no problems does seem to like gas alittle more then my old mower but then its also more then twice as fast so no big problem. Will try and post more as time goes by.
