Sorry, only a little over 200 hours on mine. No problems though. Other than the infamous air cleaner bracket, I replaced it with a couple of tie wraps.

365 hrs here. The only serious problem was a cracked front wheel housing, fixed on warranty. This little tractor really does some work for me.

Ours has 760 hrs. It is set up with BX1800 AG tires and a 54" MOM and I put a 1000W inverter on the hood. We use BX to its full capacity. Problems; 1)air cleaner bracket, 2)water pump, 3)balancer weight mounts fractured-weight then removed, 4)diecast mount for mower gearbox broke twice-1st time took seal and bearings-I then made one from steel, 5) fractured knob for settitng mow height, 6)wheels on mower deck come/break off occasionaly, 7)very sensitive to fuel-must be treated or it acts like theres water altho other tractors run fine, 8) top link too long, 9)center pivot on front end leaks, 10)bearing on mower belt tensioner idler failed and destroyed the shaft on the one piece bracket-very expensive- grease it often.
Basically a very good little tractor. Just needs its weak points refined out. The fuel problem is maddening. It must need a different kind of filter or something.
