One of My Best Investments!
Model Year: 2002
My Steiner tractor with water cooled 25 HP engine and attachments have exceeded my expectations. I have a snow blower, slip scoop, 60" side discharge mower, aerator and some after market attachments including a Spyker spreader that works off my Steiner battery, harrow, hydro seeder, etc. I have required few repairs and those needed were easy to make and PM is a breeze with the 430. I keep everything in my garage and people say it still looks almost new. My slopes are so steep that cars sometimes pull over down at the road, hoping to see a roll over? The duals are great and I bought an after market-slope meter which is also useful. I'm very fussy and not easy to please, but extremely pleased with my 430! I put a two person golf cart cover over the canopy and for $85, now have a cab to use when removing snow during blizzards where I live---7500 feet above sea level, on top of Lookout Mountain west of Denver.
Pros: Easy to service, fun to operate, easy to service, well built, reliable, and even amazing!
Cons: Gas fill cap is inconveniently located under the seat.
