I had a thread back in March asking questions about the Simplicity Citation 61? I did buy the mower and I'm very satisfied with it. It gives a very nice cut and when the lawn is dry I stripe it and it looks fantastic. I have a Mojack Pro I used with my previous mower, a JD lawn tractor, and it works with the Citation so cleaning the deck and changing the blades is easy. I'm happy I bought the 61 though I believe the 52 deck would likely have been fine. I have a few hills on my 3 acres of lawn and I've had no problems with the mower there. I do have to control the speed though since this thing just wants to race ahead; it's quite a change from my lawn tractor. It powers through deep grass like it's not even there. The only issue I've had to get used to is the blast of clippings hitting me on windy days. Other than that this mower is fun to use and so far does a superb job. I've reduced my mowing time from 3 hours to 1 hr 45min.
Maintenance question: Where are the grease fittings on the front deck lift linkage pivots? The manual shows them but I don't seem to have any.
