Convertible Mower

[Nebraska]

Just went and saw the Convertible Mower by Rich Manufacturing today.

www.convertiblemower.com

Looks well built.... Has a good warranty..
As with most mowers same engines, hydraulics....

Downside that I immediately saw was that foot lever to raise and lower the deck was a stretch (literally) and I am 6' tall...


Anyone have any real world experience with it?

They were designed by Tom Rich of now www.z-spray.com

Sold off to L.T. Rich.

They are now doing more targeting to the home owner after they found out, they were not well ecepted in the commercial side of the biz.

I demoed one and found this, it was a while ago, but looks very much the same as then.

Controls are up to high and awkward to you, not ergonomic, hit my legs on them many times while sitting.

WB set up, very long, controls are not comfy.

It's not an everyday commmercail mower for the avg mow jocky. More suited to the home owner looking for a strong versitile machine.

Hi Mike!

Yes it did seem very awkward. Yet very well built.

It does seem well built, just not real ergonomic.
