Hi, I just purchased an '05 CC 2550 (w/Command motor). My decision was based largely on finding this forum and the many informative posts. I won't be bugging you guys a lot, but, if any problems arise I'll keep you all informed. My quest for a new mower started at the Big Box guys, and I even got credit approval by 1 of them, then I found this forum. The info here was very helpful in making a decision. To make a long story short, I opted to call a CC dealer located about 25 mi. away. Not only did he have an '05, he knocked off a coupla bucks, sold me the right machine, delivered it, and filled the gas tank. My advice -- buy from a dealer!!! Thanks for all the info! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif rbro
