I am a new owner of a T2290 w/48" deck. I haven't tried it out yet, but looking forward to using it. I bought a brand new Exmark commercial zero turn a 1 1/2 years ago, and I hate it. Never owning a zero turn before, it took a lot getting use to. I got tired of my grass getting torn up from turning, and the front end pulling wheelies. It just wasn't the mower for me, so now I'm back to a riding mower.
