HRLand is an unknown quantity at this point
I bought a used 257 last year because of the work we do on new construction sites, a lot of uncompacted backfill. I'm not happy with the track system at all. The suspension is unnecessary and can be annoying when carrying a heavy load since the machine will bob. A suspension seat would be enough. I don't know how hard track replacement is on the other brands but it's very difficult on the asv system and the drive sprocket has too many parts bolted together. You'll definitely have less lawn damage but the job site has to have enough room to make wide turns.
