The Cross Jet mowers we had got the job done but did match up to our reliability standards at Gap Power. After quite a few months we see that the
CanyCom CMX227H with 22 HP Subaru heavy blade with free swinging ends and low center of gravity is getting the job done without taking repair breaks in our shop.
This 'Work Horse' will handle
tall grass, weeds, briars, bushes and small saplings. Keep the sapling size to 3/4" or so and take out anything bigger with a chain saw or brush cutter (weed wacker).
I have used it on hills and always came away impressed with it's ability to climb steep slopes and mow brush - at the same time of course!!
