I am very happy with my purchase. The mower is sturdy, comfortable on flat smooth grass, and has enough power to manage my 4 acres. Features that must be included in future models, hour meter, and the same readout advising you when maintenance is due. The seat should be made with better suspension to reduce the bumps on uneven surfaces. The blades on the mower must be sharpened. They come very dull, and do not cut very well. I sharpened mine to the point you can shave with them. The cut is superb. All together it is a good machine for the homeowner.
The good
1. Manufactured deck(not stamped out)
2. 23hp Kawasaki engine - just wish I could afford a liquid cooled engine
3. Comfortable seat and hand controls
4. Yes to headlights - led type
5. Very heavy duty frame.
Now the bad
1. No hour meter - it used to have one, now they got cheap - they even have a knock out for one(the covered it up) the connector still exists but just bypassed it
2. They also removed the deck clean out port no longer exists and they covered it up.
3. Very cheap(poor quality) bagger (crappy plastic shoot)
If they would just send out the parts(hour meter and deck wash out) it wouldn't take much to hook it up.
Awesome ride! Easy to use. Easy access to the motor for oil changes and maintenance. Plus a perfect cup holder for my beer.
