Do the current Exmarks have the tranny issues? I was under the impression this was fixed with new builds. Maybe I have been misled. My friend’s Exmark has been flawless. If I could get past the price, I would get one.
Yes. Blade brake is great.
I have heard these thing recently but of course cant say they are true, but it did get my attention.
I spoke to a couple pro's and they complained about the trannys. (Also some liked them and never had a problem) They also mentioned that whenever the belt breaks the blades go out of time and slam into each other causing you need to replace them also. Today I spoke to a dealer that mentioned "tranny" and "belt" issues and recommended going with a single blade 21". I know this is by no means a statistically valid sample but still enough to scare me. I also am a little put off on the price (to buy one and the replacement parts).
I like the idea of getting a good solid mower that will last like Snobdds fathers/his Deere has.
