All of the controls on a WG Series Mower are within comfortable reach of the operator.
 
The location and operation of the following controls on all models offer greater convenience, improved productivity, and increased safety:

  • Operator presence system – the bails must be depressed to operate the unit; the machine must be in neutral and the power take-off (PTO) must be disengaged to start.
  • Separate choke and throttle – this takes the guesswork out of choke operation and there is less fouling of plugs.
  • Pistol-grip controls – these controls are familiar to most operators and offer simplicity and reliability.
  • Color-coded and clearly marked switches and buttons – these simplify operation.
  • Bilingual decals – decals are provided in English and Spanish.

  • Provides superior ground-speed adjustments to meet mowing application needs
  • Allows easy, smooth shifting with a padded lever
  • Can be shifted on the go

Excellent quality with the performance i wanted

5/5

Quality machine with excellent control, engine powers through the highest wet grass. No issues seen with quality or performance. I'm amazed at the finish look with out a stripping kit and it fit my small trailer very well. I do wish for a mulch kit that could be opened or closed like the larger 7iron decks. I don't want a bolt on option. I would purchase a JD sulky but not at the price offered. Great mower for my needs though, I will buy again.

Great mower

5/5

Bought this unit as a replacement for my Toro 30" Timemaster. Over 50% of my 1/2 acre yard is 8-15 degree slope. Performs well, a little getting use to the steering but after 1 mow, I feel more comfortable. The only real negative is the reverse. It does not go up a slope well in reverse, so I just have to plan to turn at a few corners. Cut is great! Very smooth running machine and quieter than my Toro. Not planning on using in commercial business, just for my home. Mulch kit works great and cuts thru dorment bermuda with no issue.

Pros

  • cut
  • dealer support

Cons

  • reverse
