Bad:
-Water gets trapped under foot rest covers. May cause rust if(when) paint gets rubbed off.
-Reverse pedal needs to be rethought. Works Ok but could be better.
-Hood catches slightly when opening. Nothing horrible.
-Tranny dipstick a pain to get out. Screw-on type would be better IMHO.
-Leaner carb settings might be better..........maybe, maybe not.
-Don't care for parking brake set up but nothing major.
--mainly getting used to having to use it is the pain after years on older tractor.
-Lights always on is something I'd rather not have. Nothing major but it has to cut into battery life. A switch is in my future.
Good:
-Plenty of power
-Engine is smooth and quiet
-Cuts well
-Traction is good, especially on uneven terrain
-Deck washing system seems to work well
-Deck is quiet
-Comfortable layout
-Steering is light and turn radius pretty tight
-Seems easy to work on routine maintenence items
--air filter easy to get to and well thought out
-Cut-in-reverse sytem well thought out and easy to use!! THANK YOU!!
-Cubby holes and cup holders are nice
-Cleans up easily
-Grease fittings everywhere
-Storage under seat is nice to have
-Gas tank easy to fill up and nice it isn't next to a hot engine
-Initially thought I'd miss a hand-operated hydo tranny but forward pedal is easy to use.
--but poor reverse pedal makes hand unit better.
-Looks great
Overall I am very pleased with it. Seems like a very good lawn tractor.
