It's an okay mower. Not great, but not bad. Using a quad to haul a mower... well, it's a better excuse to buy a quad than it is a good mowing setup. Not as good as a dedicated mower.

One problem I hit right away - while the quad has great ground clearance, the mower does not. And it can't be raised up very high. So while I could mow the flat areas, dragging the mower over those rough trails to get back to the spot that needed mowing turned out to be a real problem. I ended up loading the mower on to a firewood trailer, hauling that over the trails, and then using it.
