- We borrowed this monster @Altoz TRX 660i zero turn brush hog from the neighbors, and Natalie tests it out on both the south pasture (basically just mowing), and in the west pasture which has some re-sprouting trees, wood chips and branches on the ground, large thistles, and patches of very long grass. The Altoz TRX 660i basically ran over everything in it's path.

This is the neighbor's machine , and since this video was made, that field got very overgrown. I'm going to contact Altoz and see if they'll loan one to me so Natalie can do a 'Pasture Testament' this coming year. It would make a great video, and I can get into the specs. I'll let you know what they say...
I could really use one of these for my overgrown pastures! A brush hog would be nice, but that requires a tractor as well, and i don't have one!
These cost about 20k, which is less than our neighbor's JD mower/tractor. It's expensive, but would be nice to own for pasture maintenance. Luckily I get to borrow one 😉
What a beast! I'd like to see it cutting actual small trees. I have a lot of them in my pastures.
I'll be making a video in a few days with me using this same machine to clear-out our overgrown pastures. I will be cutting plenty of trees!
Nice! YT just recommended this to me, must have been an older video.
I've taken to adding in the description the date the video was made,
not so much for others but for my future reference.
I do something similar, but it is in the background. While you are producing a video, you can enter the recording date. It's optional, but if you enter it it will always be there if you click on 'edit video'. The date is normally shown below the title in most browsers as well, but it is not super consistent - sometimes no date is shown! I don't know if it shows up on phones at all. Phones are a whole different animal 😉
FYI: That video was made on June 10th, 2019 😊
Awesome machine ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Natalie totally rocks it💜
She really loves this machine!
An Amazing mower, I did a Demo with the 2020 766 and bought a Altoz XE610
We used our neighbors, but I would love to demo an Altoz next spring. One of our pastures has a bunch of small trees and brush that I would like to see if it could clear!
If mowing my fields on a sunny day were heaven, I’d be happy.
... and if you nod off a bit, this thing will mow down part of the forest as well 😊
Very nice! You were just looking for brush to cut lol! Now you are going to have to buy Natalie one of those too!
You know exactly how daughters work 😉
Or give up his, 😂.
That Altoz is bad ass that's what we use at work... we mow Walmart ponds and creeks and man thing of beauty we really put it to the test water and high tall grass and brushes n it works perfectly
I was surprised at how quiet it is for such a beast of a machine. My daughter (who does all of the cutting) likes it a lot!
@@PlanetMojo it is very quite a smoothing sound unlike those loud John deer mowers jaja..
That's awesome, Natalie is a lucky girl!
She certainly is!
Have to agree with two comments ago. All zero turns are designed to run at full revs. not only bad for hydro but wont cut as effectively either.
That thing is AWESOME! What a beast!
This would be good to have for a zombie apocalypse too!
I could see this chopping a path through a crowd of zombies! It would be awesome as long as you don't run out of gas 😉
Contemplated one before i got my 725d. Other than the tracks it's got nothing on my front mount grasshopper though.
We borrowed this one, but in the end will get a brush hog for our tractor.
@@PlanetMojo yea, i should have got my grasshopper with out a deck and got a flail mower, they look so nice. But very expensive, would be nice not to have to worry about how tall it gets between wet stretches. If they made tracks for my mower i would be all over it, even with bar tires my mower does not like the wet
There are 2 types of tracks available for them, Turf Tracks and Rough cut tracks along with 2 types of Decks available
Sounds pretty versatile!
Now three type of tracks
Yep my uncle is trading in his two ventrac's for one or two of these I can not wait to use one of them.........
A really nice machine for people with pasture. Really awesome to see in action as well!
I figure the ventrac would be better then this and never used the altoz and ventrac and just going off videos I seen about both
Yes
Update: I will be borrowing this machine again, and putting it through the paces. Lots of small trees, etc. I'll link to the video when it's ready 😊
Thars a beast looking mower
Agreed!
The 25 degrees is for sidehilling, you can do whatever you have the nerve for straight up and down.
If not mistaking the 660 denotes 60" deck, & the "I" denotes EFI.
But. One thing you never wanna do for saving of the hydros is run it under load at part or 3/4 throttle. (It only sounds @ part throttling as mowing from this standpoint. Great coverage of this awesome machine. Thanks for the footage. 👍
Thanks! I'll pass the throttle advice on to my Natalie. I'm sure she will be borrowing the machine again 😉
6BT_ Str86 it’s the 66” all terrain deck
660 will be a 66" deck the 610 is a 61" deck
Your neighbor must really like Natalie. I sure won't let no one use my 15k lawnmower, especially not no girl
She is actually better on heavy equipment than he is! She got her tractor license at 12 😊
A little hint the deck has 60” the last 2 digits in the model. That’s how most equipment is labeled
66 inch deck.
Pivot blades should be standard on mowers
I agree!
If they made the air ride seat standard I would consider this . Obviously this unit does not have it cause she is bouncing a lot .
I never rode this unit as it is the neighbors, but I would likely agree. I have a 52" zero turn that as a nice seat, but it still breaks my back on rough ground! 😮
@@PlanetMojo They always leave the good stuff as an option . If a mower has a price point of $20,000 plus what the heck , right ?
@@danrussell3509 I agree. Our JD Gator was like 17k bare bones (back in 2014). We added the power dump, a roof, a windshield, etc., and the price went well over 20k! Can't see paying 20k for a mower. I would likely go with a small, tractor and get a brush hog...
@@PlanetMojo I think that would be a wise decision .
SEEMS N LOOKS LIKE IT CUTS JUST LIKE OTHER CHEAPER COMPETITORS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE TRACKS.
They have finish mowers as well that cut better than the cheaper competitors. This is rough cut to cut thick and overgrown stuff. To my knowledge there is not other zero turn with a rough cut/bush hog cutting deck
It is far beefier than a "normal" zero turn. It has flail blades for thick stuff. It is made for very heavy stuff.
yes Alexis I have a 354 TRX with finish deck and it cuts real nice.
The 766 has a 14 gallon gas capacity. The 766 is 37 hp
34 gallons of gas! Must be for commercial use. You could easily cut for a few days with that (I imagine).
@@PlanetMojo you misread, 34 horsepower 14 gallons of fuel in 2 tanks
@@polarisman09 Oops! Yea, that sounded kind of huge 😲
2nd and 3rd numbers are the deck size. Your deck number is 660 I E 60in deck. Tuff and rugged is how it looks. I’m in Mississippi and I am looking for my closest dealer now. I want one.
I would actually like one of these for touching up my horse pastures. It would really save a lot of time in my opinion!
they are awesome I have one but with a finish deck and love it but mine is a 54'' deck
@@steelers454 no bud. It’s the first and second numbers that’s the deck size. It they offer a 60” side discharge deck for this mower
@@keithhylton4631 i know I was saying I own one and mine is a 54'' deck
As I always say ,,,, you get what you pay for !!! Buy once and forget about it. Buy cheep and save the difference add to it and prepare to buy cheep again. And again. Seems like I heard it somewhere that you get what you pay for... It is your money ,,, as you choose spend it as you may.
I agree!
Buy a 2500.00 mower and keep buying them every other year
This is What a real zero turn mower is.
That's for sure!
That all terrain deck would be perfect for some of my acreage, but will it also produce a quality cut for part of yard that you would normally mow with a “finish” cut mower?
Unfortunately it did not produce a finished cut for us -- but we borrowed the machine and I did not look at the blades so maybe it could if the blades were sharp? I believe it might -- until you mow a few trees.
@@PlanetMojo it doesn’t cut well at all. Customer service and warranty doesn’t exist either.
@@quailhollow1912 Well that sucks! I think we'll just go with a brush bog for our pastures and we already have a zero turn for the lawns.
@@quailhollow1912
Can you elaborate? I was about ready to pull the trigger on an Altoz but you’ve got me scratching my head.
What a beast! Love it. Is that a 66 inch deck?
That sounds more like it. It's huge!
Yup
what is the hp rating on this mower?
all moving parts wear. what is the service life of those tracks and what is the cost of a rebuild? tracks, bogies, etc?
Not sure on any of that. We borrowed the machine from the neighbors so I'll have to ask them the next time they're up.
the tracks are about $630 dollars each and I have heard they last a long time. I know a few people that own them and have over 200 hours and the tracks still look new.
I don't see why the brush hog cutter design, isn't used in all zero turn mowers, Ive got a few acres of chest high sunflowers that Id love to try that thing in.
It would be nice if it were at least an option!
So this is better than the American ventrac??.
I don't know. We borrowed it from the neighbor to cut our overgrown pasture. We would love to test out the Ventrac if there is a dealer out there that will let us give it a shot 😉
It’s a lot cheaper
These r 18-19000 dollars
Not sure. We just borrowed it.
Planet Mojo that’s the price they list
yes that is my 354 was 13,500 out the door.
@@steelers454 that is not a bad price. You would pay that much for a good ferris, toro,exmark or hustler and still not get tracks on those mowers.
