Mine was a piece of junk. The breakaway was never right on it no mater how much I adjusted it. The drive line seemed to be lightly built and I had to rebuild the hydraulic cylinder on it after the first year. Keep in mind I only cut @200acres per year and I had two mowers at the time so it wasn't over worked. My other mower was a vermeer and it was 6 years old at the time and all I ever did to it was change blades and one set of belts. Just my opinion.

They are excellent mowers. When a user has problems, he has not been given proper setup instructions for the mower. I have had dozens of people call in with problems and I ask them if the mow with the transport pin in the locked out position and most say, the dealer never told about that and don't even know where it is.

I have one and used it last year for the first time ever with a a disc mower. Was 3 yrs old when I got it. Did all the pms on it per the book and cut about 60 acres last years with not problems. So far no problems. Yea not a big name brand. But can't afford them either. Ken Sweet is a big help as well. Look forward to using it again this year.
