Very interesting. I'm sure for certain situations it would be great.

I can think of one situation where that would have saved me from needing the neighbor to pull my ZD22 out. The rear overhang got be hung up in the barrow ditch. Very cool, and I imagine very expensive.

Did you notice that it can be had with a rough cut mower?

It certainly looks cool. I can't imagine it being able to mow a nice yard without tearing it up. I'd also guess it's expensive. I'll have to keep using my 4x4 B7200 to mow sketchy areas.

At $18600+.......not cheap.

I switched from standard turf tires to AT101's. Made a world of difference.
But I cannot imagine mowing the yard if it were wet and muddy enough to actually need tracks.

That one scene where he is mowing along the edge of the pond and one track is in the water got me to thinking. I get stuck doing this ALL THE TIME!!!!! I'm not going to buy another mower, but trying to mow close to the edge of the water is a real issue for me.

I used to get stuck along the edge of the ditch all the time as well. Once that inside wheel starts spinning its useless and only the outside wheel has any traction. So you are faced with a grim decision.....forward into the ditch, or backwards into the ditch, as that outer wheel will spin you right into it one way or the other.
Going to AT101 tires solved that issue 99%.
Then when I built the shop, I ran tile down that ditch and it dries up in no time. So I no longer have any areas that lay wet when mowing.
