Have not seen it but the engine would stop me - Intek has been trouble , but is still running. My DYT 4000 48" has been good except for the engine

My Intek has 550 hrs on it, and runs fine someone said they had a bad run around 2006, or so but have improved the issues now. I have a 2007 that I had to fix where it threw a rod in that series that where bad. But you can get this same mower with a Kohler too.

Yep they had issues in 2007, and 2008 they have been improved but you can get this same mower with a Kohler engine as well. I have a 2006, and a 2007 I had to fix the 2007 where it threw a rod but I have never had any trouble with the 2006 Briggs Intek.

I like Sears GT series. I got green GT3000 50in deck with snowplow on it. I also have red GT5000 48in deck that Im thinking about keeping and getting that big snowblower attachment for it for $1600 on the sears site that made by Agri Fab. I posted about GT5000 awhile back.
