Hope I can deal with it. It's on me regardless. Slow as molasses. My normal cutting time with my zero was about 1 3/4 hours. Probably 85% was full throttle. Rode it some today and figured at a minimum, I can add another solid 30 minutes to my mowing time. Regarding the mower itself, it seems ok. The seat and ride are comfortable. I mowed a tad and it had good mowing power. Getting on and off ain't cool. you really need to pivot to either side to exit otherwise, the steering wheel interferes. Since a canister - style air filter assembly can't replace the factory air cleaner, I hope being a front engine minimize the air cleaner sucking everything in like it does on a zero - turn. I'm ok with that goofy Kawasaki oil -drain as long as it doesn't leak. I had bought the hose for my zero before the engine broke. Had yet to install it. I did remove the deck plastic chute and shrouds from the Husqvarna. I'm really surprised the 2 shrouds were metal. Lastly, the deck height increments are 1/2". That totally sucks for my yard. Time and again, depending on rainy weather, 1/4" difference can be big regarding clippings. 1/2" won't work many times. Live and learn.
