I cut 3.5 acres twice per week. Mower tuned over 250 hrs. today. Some very nice and level, some slight slop, and some ruff and bumpy. No problems at all until 218 hrs. Mower ate up spindle cost $52 (easy repair). 238 hrs. broke the hydro cross brace ate up the hydro belt and two bolts.My friend the machine shop owner beefed up the brace and rewelded it. Monster brace should never brake again cost free (Thanks Steve) hydro belt $21, grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers to replace all brace bolts $19 ( not an easy repair, but not terrible hard). So all and all i am still pleased with the mower for what they cost. Next mower will probably be a Ferris commerical grade. Happy mowing and hope this helps someone.
