Tufftork K46 Transmission Problems?

[canlis]

Has anyone experienced any transmission problems with the Tufftork K46 transmission on any of your lawn tractors? I'm thinking about buying a Snapper NXT2346 Model:2690847(23hp,46") for $1999 which has this transmission. However, in past discussions on this forum, I thought there were some issues with this transmission. Please comment. Thanks

On my L130 mower the tranny started to slow down around 200 hrs or at least thats where I started noticing it, by the time it hit 275 hours it has a top speed of about 3mph. I have always had tractors and the backhoe before it was purchased to do any heavy work, so this has happened while just mowing and pulling a 125lb spin spreader.
