As an ex professional lawn mower guy, I agree wholeheartedly! The control with a zero turn is very precise...of course when you spend nearly $13K on a mower, it had better be good! Mine was an Exmark Lazer Z HP and it was a pleasure to mow with! I would buy another if I ever decide to forego my Kubota BX but for now the Kubota will make do.
I would add that the little Craftsman I bought my daughters does go in reverse with the blades running...just have to turn the ignition key to a designated position and away you go!
