I bought it with 321 hrs. and I have put about 100 on it so far.Other than needing a little more power sometimes,I like it better than the Steiner 410,415,430, Ventrac 4231 that I have owned in the past.Mowing position is fantastic,as well as seeing the blade and what you are pushing.The controls are much better than the tractor versions also.I am not sure how the older Turfmasters performed with the powerplants that were used with them.
