So far, the only issues I've seen with the Solis is the front axle wheel seals. All of the complains I've seen were on tractors that had loaders on them and we all know how some people treat their loader tractors... So nothing that would really concern me.I don't think they have a mid-mount PTO. I could easily overlook that in favor of a rear mounted finish mower. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in instances of needing dealer support. I have looked at the tractor on display at the local Atwoods store and I personally think they stand out from their competitors. The size is just right for what I intend to do. The standard features makes it just right for my small farm. When I bought my CC/Yanmar new years ago. I never needed any service work. Parts were needed only twice I think. I would like to see what their plan is if service is needed but I am not sure that it would make any difference when it comes time to make the decision to buy.
I've read about one or two people complaining about overheating while mowing but they leave a lot of details behind. Again, nothing that would bother me either, plus depending on the material that's being mowed, it may require cleaning the radiator several times during the job. I've had that happen to me and that's something not everyone quite understand until they have a big repair bill.
