LT Rich Z Spray Jr Testing and Review.

This has a screwed up sound track.. Here's the correct video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V1VR00aLDE

This is the Z spray Jr. It has the biggest tires with the best traction available.... yet is still worthless on hills. Please watch this video BEFORE buying your 1st Z spray.

The Z is a well built machine... but has a few operational concerns... if you don't have hills, then you'll be happy with it... if you do.. I hope you're insured.

In this video you can see how easy it is to lose control. featuring turf destruction, 'crabbing' to keep traction, a fence collision, and much more.

Would you trust this in the hands of a new employee? I did... and he got hurt, ran into a tree, and smashed a fence.... in the 1st 3 days.

@bbvfd2719 I ran the test at a 'safe speed' and at a 'calibrated speed' It failed in both tests.

Biggest mistake here is calibration! Number one rule to calbrating is, calibrate to the best speed for most of your lawns. You say that you have this problem on most of your lawns, yet you have it set at 4 MPH. I set it at 2 MPH for most lawns, if I pull up on a large lawn that can take the speed I simply change out the tips to apply the same rate at 4 MPH. It only takes a little time, and increasing efficiency is well worth it. Average (all day long) speed is something you have to account for.

@justinennis1 please note that the property is such that it is impossible to not make at least one turn on a down hill slope on either side of the walk.. Not at all uncommon. This type of machine should be designed to not have the lack of capability inhearant in mowers..

This is supposed to be a calibrated chemical applicator which applies chem evenly, and to only target areas... that.. it is not.

This is all due to operator error. Try turning uphill instead of downhill. Not even the best mower will turn downhill. Use a little common sense.
