Yes I have one and mow 20A with it. It does a great job. If the grass gets high you well eat up belts, you have to keep the grass low and mow often. When the grass is growing fast I use my woods 990 set at 4". The pro flex's max hight is 3" , that I don't like and would use it more if it would go to 4". As far as service it takes more, there are a lot of grease fitting on it. One thing when your done mowing, you can hit that little white ball around with that stick that is bent on the end.
