I 100% agree with you about the roll-over bar. I also own a Spartan and anytime I go under a tree with low thick limbs, you have to be VERY careful an make sure the limb does not clip the rollover bar in the downed position. I've never had it do what it do to you, but I've always thought it's very possible - and now you've confirmed it is. The only thing I don't agree with you on in the video is the control panel comments. I've got 160hrs on mine and it's never given me any issues. It takes no more time to put your code in real quick and press start vs. turning a key. As far as the safety features, it's no different than any other mower. It's got all the same safety features on it that every other mower has (like the seat sensor, neutral sensor, parking brake, and the PTO sensor), the only difference is unlike other mowers, it's nice that it let's you know if the sensors are all functioning/passed to let you start the mower. On a mower without these sensor monitors, if you have a sensor plug come loose, a short, or just a bad sensor, you will have no idea why your mower won't turn over without some lengthy trouble shooting and/or guess work. I've had a control lever sensor come unplugged on my Spartan and it refused to light green. This let me know that the specific issue was the control lever neutral sensor. It took all but 1 min to look under the seat and I found it was because it came unplugged. Plus not having to keep up with even more keys and it monitors the engine/mow hrs and your oil changes and the volt meter for the battery is all a huge plus. I personally much prefer the control panel vs. key start for all these reasons.

@papawsplace Жыл бұрын

I guess the reason I don't like the control panel is it doesn't let me bypass the safety features. It's not really the control panel that I don't like. On all my other lawn mowers I could bypass the safety features. The one I hate the most is, if the arms are not all the way in neutral position before you put the park brake on it goes dead. That gets me every time. LOL

The computer on Spartan mowers is why I bought a Toro. No one needs that crap on a lawn mower. Just something to give trouble and I'm sure it wouldn't be a cheap part to replace when it goes bad.

@papawsplace Жыл бұрын

I agree 100% Mr. Eric, There is no need in all that on a lawn mower.

@tyler558806 Жыл бұрын

I initially thought the same thing, but your Toro has every single safety feature that the Spartan does (PTO safety, control lever neutral safety, and occupied seat safety) Literally the only difference, is the Spartan's control panel shows you the status of those sensors. It's not doing anything additional that your Toro is doing except that. I saw this as an added bonus, as if any sensor on any other mower goes out, you're going to have to do a lot of trouble shooting to find the issue - versus the Spartan's control panel will show you exactly which sensor may not be engaging properly so you can locate it and find out why. For example, my control levers were would not light green to let me start the mower, despite being in neutral, and I quickly found the plug had come undone. I plugged it back up and was good to go. If that happened on any other mower, I would've had no idea why my mower wouldn't start and would've spent a lot of time trouble shooting the issue. The Toro has the same exact sensor on it. You just don't have a light monitoring it's status.

@papawsplace Жыл бұрын

On all my other mowers it does not matter if they go out because I have bypassed them. That is the reason I don't like the control panel, I can't bypass all the safety crap. 🤣🤣

I agree about the ROPS. I have a customer who treats me like family. I've serviced his yard for 22 years. But he would fire me in a heartbeat if I cut his low tree limbs. I even have to duck around some of the limbs to keep from hitting my head and scratching my face up. It's a nice safety feature, but defeated by functionality.

Yes sir after having it off all last year this year I put them back on because I have a couple new yards with step banks to mow. So I feel safer now with it on I just have to weed eat more on other yards.
