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.

The TS series on these Husqvarna riding mowers are the better built mowers versus the YT series. If you only add 30 minutes to cutting time with a rider, that would be a miracle. Usually a zero turn is about twice as fast as rider, so it should take you more like 3.5 hours with this riding mower.

If the rated forward speed is accurate at 5.5, then my toro would have been moving at 11 mph. With gps, it was typically between 8.5 and 8.8/9. It was rated at 7.5. Yeah, when I use the word "solid" in that context, That is my fudge factor of perhaps another10 minutes or so. It might be as much as 45 minutes. Oh well. My inlaws have a not so great 2013 Kubota BX1870 compact tractor with a 54" mowing deck. I got it back into decent condition and have mowed with it several times. If it's not as fast as the toro was, it's just a shade slower. 4-wheel drive when needed, hydraulic deck and power steering. Rides like a Cadillac. Saw one the other day which had been babied and serviced annually at the dealer. It had around 800 hrs. on it. Asking price was 5,000.00. About 50 miles away. I gave it thought and figured it'd go to crap with my luck. It was gone the next day. I get my fuel free so the expense of diesel wouldn't factor in. Still keeping my eyes peeled for similar.

It ended up taking 40 - 42 minutes additional time. Now have it up for sale. Bought another zero yesterday.
