Acreage (44") 13HP Tow-Behind Rough Cut Mower w/ Electric Start

I had a problem. My daughter wanted to be first to run it. I only had enough oil. 3/4 qt. and it needed 1-1/4 qt. I needed to get correct oil before using. This is a small mini ranch way out in the boonies. I had no idea she would start and run it while I was gone. Famous last words.

She checked dipstick and it showed oil have way up the stick. Anyway, she ran it up till engine stopped. Cooked it. The engine has no low oil safety shut down nor oil filter.

Anyway, I am looking on replacing engine with the 500 cc Briggs wish is on the 4432 unit or other. it does have low oil safety and filter. What she mowed looked great. I read the instructions, didn't count on others who had not.

The viper engine is one of a kind, no way to research it. It is an Ardisam Inc. item only.

Difficulty with mower is the keeping the blade engaged. Had to come up with a way to keep blade engaged while driving ATV

This thing is a beast, if I could push it over with the avt it would cut it up. Very pleased and would recommend it to anyone. Cut weeds and grass taller than me and I am 6ft .

I'm pretty impressed with the quality! If you have a heavy duty garden tractor or quad it's great machine for fairly level or level ground with heavy brush or tall grass, it weighs about 525 pounds so you have to respect it's ability to push you or get you stuck on too steep of grades.

It comes crated very excessive with a full cage of angle iron steel, so I built a extra guard from the steel and bolts for backing into brush that might damage the carb and other delicate parts, overall I give it 5 stars review when used for the correct use and applications!!! Like someone else said "it's a freakin beast" almost like a regular brush hog! Please be careful !!!!!
