I bought this mower and really like most of the features. It would be nice if it came with an hour meter. My big complaint is that when I went to shop for a few pair of replacement blades, I can not find them many places. When I find blades they are three times the price of any other 54" mower blades. I can't find any options on blades like the good old star design blades. The "S" design center hole is a BIG mistake. I ordered three replacement spindles with a star design for less than three replacement blades would cost. I will be using the smarter, more available, lower costing star design center blades on my new Cub Cadet mower. I will be throwing away the "S" design spindles. If I knew about the dumb "S" center hole blades I would not have bought this mower. I think you can still get this mower with a star center hole blade design. Other than that, this is a good, strong, fast mower and I think it will last a long time.
Bought this mower last month, my craftsman died, nearing the end of the season still needed something. been looking at the cub's for a yr now. I mow between 3-4.5 acres, alot is uneven terain and hilly. does a great job, control, precision, ability, and fuel economy all very acceptable. I have only mowed a little with this, however it seems very well put together, and more than capable of doing everything required for my needs. Only thing not 100% is the hr. meter gage hasnt worked since I picked it up. will visit shop where I bought it, and get that rectified. onyl gotten it stuck 1 time, and the ditch I was trying to get into was pretty ugly-can't blame that on the mower. can only give it a 4 due to hour meter not working-- that's a quality issue
