You do wrestle with them at the turnaround and the tight spots; the weight of the transmission is pretty noticeable, and power delivery can be pretty abrupt and herky-jerky. I eventually disconnected the whole shootin' match on the Toro for my small yard. For a big yard, I'm sure the drawbacks/benefits ratio is much less of an issue.
