Cut: Rating B+

The Predator Pro's cutting deck continues to give a great cut. Heavy-duty, basic cutting machine.

Durability: Rating B+

A tough simple machine. Bobcat is solid performer. It is durable without being too heavy. They have been around for awhile so most bugs have been worked out.

Handling and Balance: Rating B+

The addition of larger motor options (33HP & 37HP Kawasaki) has been long over due in the ZTR industry. The Predator Pro's larger CC hydraulic pumps really shows that Bobcat has created a fast, well handling machine, with plenty of torque. The standard suspension seat and short overall length (80 inches) really makes this mower manueverable and comfortable.

Available Accessories: Rating B

Still not as many available accessories that I would like to see, especially for a company this size. However, they have added a catcher system, which is a great addition to their arsenal.

Maintenance and Ingenuity: Rating A

The Predator Pro continues to be a simple, tough, no-nonsense machine. Not much maintenance. Most belts are spring loaded.
