Re: Information
( This lawn tractor will be used to mulch grass and leaves on Florida's sandy soil and to pull a small cart that hauls debris. )

What's the skinny on this machine?

What is to be expected (the longevity) of its pressed/stamped deck, mowing two acres once a week all year long? Is there any industrial coating that can be successfully applied to the undersurface that will extend the deck's life?

What is the cost of replacement (mulching) blades? Are generic mulching blades provided by and available from an after-market company?

What are the known cons of owning this tractor?
Is this machine "user friendly" to maintain and work on?
Are there any parts that wear-out, break, or malfunction early?
With normal maintenance, is this machine rated as reliable?
For its class, is its premium price worth its value?

And finally, what would be a "good price" to pay for this setup (in these downtrodden economic times)?
