Overall, the machine is as good as for todays' standard.
Model Year: 2007
Like the saying goes, they don't build them like they use to. Otherwise the machine is good for people that can deal with it mechanically, as i already replaced the starter and in the process of re-building the old one for a spare. Parts can be found on E-Bay for reasonable prices. I live on Guam and shop prices are high due to shipping and other overhead costs.
Pros: Zero turn makes mowing faster and saves on fuel.
Cons: Repairs starter, brakes, body rust, a few to mention problems.
