Jury is Still Out
Model Year: 2013
I purchased this mower in 2013 and ran it last season with no issues. In May this year the PTO started shutting down on it's own then starting back up on it's own. I took it to a certified shop and they replaced the PTO and seat safety switch. I wasn't happy that the PTO failed after 65 hours and less happy when after 2 hours of mowing, after the repair, the exact problem reappeared. This is the 2nd week it's been sitting in the shop. Loved the machine till it prematurely failed.
Pros: Comfort, power, handling, ease of sharpening blades.
Cons: PTO failure in 65 hours, PTO shuts down if I even think about going into reverse.
