"I've had this mower since new in 2005. Other than 1 battery replacement, oil changes and blade sharpening it has been absolutely rock solid. I also use the snow blade in the winter and for a light duty lawn tractor it moves snow very well. For the money I spent and understanding this is a mass produced lower end tractor I could not be happier."

"What a terrible mower. I should have read other reviews rather than trusting the brand name. The desk design is flawed. springs constantly break. I've gone through 3 springs, 11 belts, an exhaust manifold, and a deck pulley, in just 2 years of ownership. The LCD display no longer works. The hood bracket broke and I had to make my own repairs. None of this is covered under the useless so called warranty. The engine backfires about 70% of the time after I turn it off, the dealer informs me its common, not repairable, and not covered under warranty. This mower is a money pit. I know the deck inside out and can remove it, replace a broken part, and reinstall it in 10 minutes now. Not something to be proud of. Trust me, this not a good mower. "
