Thanks to my other thread I have a good feel for the deck washing system but I wondered if anyone could provide any more info on the 1045, now that we own one./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif It seems like a good solid mower for our needs, and stepping up from a 12.5HP, 36" cut to 20HP, 46" cut should be great. Anything I need to look out for? I saw the other thread on the Kohler Courage engines, that has me a bit worried but time will tell. I like the reverse mow feature, the foot pedal might take some getting used to, along with the cruise control. Coming off a manual transmission for 8 years, it's nice to have a hydro. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Also, from what we could tell the headlights stay on all the time, is there a reason for this? I know a simple switch could override it but not until the warranty is up. Otherwise, it looks like a good machine, I can't wait to use it. Any info/tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated, especially coming from a place full of good info like this forum.

Nothing special, just keep the deck washed out, keep the filters clean, and service it when the manual calls for it. Congrats on the purchase!
