Purchased this in May of 2011. I'm using it obviously to mow, but also wanted the 24hp to pull 40 gallon roller (18" x 36"), and other attachments. The 24hp was about $50 cheaper on sale than the ~21HP that were also on sale. I have used the roller going uphill and downhill a 10% grade @ 45' in the front yard, over a 140' frontage. It was more than capable, without much problems, even if going in reverse up hill (pushing 330 pound behind it with the roller). No complaints with mowing deck either.
