Reviews
Roman, Ishmael:
“Retreating from the topic of the mower itself, I’ll say that there are a lot of quality reviews from the manufacturer about this technique. This is very pleasant, because usually there is little information, you collect it bit by bit, and you can find out the whole truth only when you yourself start working with the mower.
MTD 53 smart is a good lawn mower, powerful and runs smoothly. I don’t understand why some people can’t stand it and breaks down, the only assumption is that they are pouring cheap gasoline and some oil. Then any equipment will not stand.
