John Deere JS63VC - information please
Hello all I am looking round for a 4-stroke walk-behind 19/21-inch mulch-mower. probably but not definitely RWD self-propelled. One that caught my eye is the John Deere JS63VC (the one with the front caster wheels). If anyone out there uses one of these I'd be grateful for a bit of advice. I mow approx 2500 m2. The very mixed surface ranges from even and uncluttered lawn to fairly rough and uneven orchard with tough, tufty grass and mole-hills. Here I have to manoeuvre round a lot of trees and other obstacles, using the mower at times almost like a strimmer or brushcutter clearing under hedges and pushing back wild blackberries invading from a neighbouring plot. I need flexibility manoeuvring backward and forward in the many tight, awkward corners. Can one simply override the drive and push/pull the mower back and forth ? I also need to navigate round and under the low branches of our apple trees (some of which are grafted on weak root stock and are fairly low). Can one quickly and easily disengage the drive and just push it for a few moments ? Thanks in advance and best regards from Ray |

I found them fantastically easy to manouvre, when trying it out, but slightly difficult to avoid being thrown off line in rough grass.
