"Purchased knowing it had some engine problems. Found that dealer had re-ringed engine, but installed 77mm rings on 80mm bore engine. Installed correct rings, smoking/oil consumption ended. Charging problem, finally found it was missing ground strap for rectifier. I found out that some Kohlers came with plastic or steel engine shrouds. I have a 50" deck and a 42" 2-stage blower for this. Used blower for the first time; very happy with the distance it throws snow."

"So far has proved to be a capable mower, however had to do my own pre-delivery on the machine as it was not set up properly. Now it runs and mows well, with only one small issue to resolve. Overall, pleased with the purchase."

"Had to replace the oil drain tube right off the bat. Hood fell off at 15hrs. Seems pretty typical for the GT2550 of this year from what I read. Other then those two issue she's hums along pretty good mowes like a champ and never misses a beat. When I bought the mower I knew the drain plug would start leaking and I also knew of the hood issues with these cubs so there were no surprises. Still a good mower for the price."

"solid machine. strong hydro and engine. fit and finish could be better."
