In a year at most I'll see one or two ant hills. Rarely a big one, rarely I don't see it first. I have hit them if I didn't see them, mower just springs back a little and might skin the top of the mound off. At worst I have to back up and clear a clump of sod-like dirt. Gopher mounds don't bother at all, I just drive through them I guess, doesn't plug or anything, might leave a strand or two of grass. Used to have a 9' Deere in the field when I had help, that thing kicked out on most obstacles. Never liked that mower much for that reason. But I use that one to mow the sides of the road.
I was looking for a used double 9' hydro when I got this (or at least a 2x9' pitman), but couldn't find one around and "settled" on what I could get, it was 6 years old when I got it and had been gone through. Cheap mower, and very easy on tractors. Many people buy the Rowse versions, but I won't buy a Rowse product.
VERY reliable. Rarely repairs besides maintenance. And if the ground is hard enough to drive on without getting stuck, I can mow. Cattails/low ground too. Only thing that really bothers is certain types of moss that I don't see very often, it'll collect on the tips of the guards.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
