Stihl RZ 261 Review zero turn 2025 from Ace Hardware

New Stihl 61” with commercial transmission Briggs 25hp engine only 2 hours in it now 12 about 50-60 homes so far no bogging or shutting down from wet grass yet leak in the caps so far for hydro fluid and rust on control panel from rain some screws with rust building up not much like only 2 front suspension stiff rear too soft deck slam can occur from hard bumps needs adjusting and height adjusting asap cuts too low for my taste at 4.5 which is the limit fantastic oem blades one pass for most lawns so far even tall and field grass reverse is amazing and speed is plenty feels like 10 mph torque can be crazy it can pop a wheelie but it won’t tear up grass very intelligent traction steering inputs sharper than my 2022 Toro timecutter 50” and better than my wright 2021 stander B 36” and better than Scag 32” stand on 2022 model Overall would buy two if I could one to keep clean and drive around the block or go to gas station for drinks
