This is the first season for me and my Super A with a Woods 59. HP is around 20, and I'm pleased to report that it does an excellent job. I mounted turf tires on the rear and implement tires on the front to minimize making ruts in the lawn. I cruise in 2nd gear most of the time and drop down to 1st if I come to a particularly high or thick spot. Turning radius is terrific even compared to much smaller mowers. On the down side, I used to use a hydrostatic mower and got used to easy direction changes. With the A, I had to modify my mowing pattern to avoid stopping and shifting into reverse, as the mower also stops during the gear change. Trimming around small objects is somewhat less precise, and due to the offset you can't see the left front wheel at all but you get used to it. Lack of power steering makes quick moves tougher but also builds shoulder muscles too! Good luck and hope this helped. Sam
