Yakta Zero Turn Mower - Real World Mowing Test and Review
Yessir. It's time for a lawn mower review!
Yakta is a newcomer to the North American market, making some very heavy duty commercial zero turn mowers. I had the opportunity to test their YXR 610 zero turn mower for a weekend, and it was a WET one! We hadn't had a chance to mow our field or yards for about 2 weeks, so this zero turn really got put to the test! Here's something pretty wild: They offer a 5 year, 2000 hour warranty. That's nuts!
Who is Yakta Mowers? You can get more information about Yakta Mowers (or locate a dealer) on their website:

4 in 1 Bucket Prototype from Kioti Tractor
Просмотров 35521 день назад
Raw video of a 4-in-1 loader bucket Kioti has been working on. Although 4 in 1 tractor buckets have been around for a while, you don't see them very often on compact tractors. Usually, you'll see a 4 in 1 bucket on a skidsteer. Anyhow, this is one that can bulldoze, grapple, grade, load and more. No word on if or when it will come out, but it's cool to see!

    Those I think may be some fairly small complaints. In regards to the build quality, commercial mowers often show up to dealers in cratesonly partially assembled. The guys who assembled the mowers on site, may be to blame.

    Thank you for the detailed review, and for putting the YXR 610 through a solid test! We're thrilled you enjoyed using our mower. Our units are crafted for homeowners like you who tackle varied terrains, which is showcased in our build quality. The mower you tested was an early demo model, not a final production unit. It was used for production testing, and the issues you mentioned have been resolved in our production models. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re committed to continuous improvement. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing with your audience!

    Micah, I don't think any zero turn is made to mow 6" and higher wet grass. Especially really thick wet grass. That's brush hog or flail time. In fact, would have like to see you on a tractor again with a flail mower to see how well it did. Surprised that you had bolts come out. Would have thought that the factory would have made sure bolts were tightened to spec. Unless its assembled in the USA at a dealership. A price would be nice so we know how to judge it on that end.

      Defintely a hard test, but we've successfully mowed with a Bad Boy and a Grasshopper in similar situations. A couple Cub Cadets have struggled. This particular mower runs a around 12k, to my understanding.

    I just bought the same thing with a 60" deck. I was wanting a 48", but they didn't have one on hand and I needed to get something happening. My first impression was I made the right choice!! The combination of the drives, the engine, and the price was unbeatable... plus the 7 gauge deck is beefier than just about anything out there short of a true commercial unit at twice the price. I mow pretty tall due to the gentle rolls of my property and it really doesn't seem make any low spots where the edge of the deck dips like a normal rider would even with the 60". I did notice the seat could be better, but after an hour and a half it was still luxury compared to what I was using before.

    The only way zero percent doesn’t make sense is -- never. If your house has a mortgage then you should take all the cash and put it on the house. If you have a car loan, you should pay it off with the cash If you have a student loan or any other debt you should put the cash on that. Then if have no debts; the money should just go to investment (of any kind) Pretty much every investment you can make will return more money that the required insurance Furthermore, with insurance, you are getting something for the money. You are protecting an asset. So there is zero and I mean zero reasons to pay cash when 0% interest is an option.
