I just loved these tractors. Their predecesors were a good tractor, but the Kohlers tended to be oisy. The Kawasaki engine is a dream to hear. They have a heavier duty front end and body then what we have found in "box stores" around here. As soon as customers come in and see and hear these tractors they are impressed with the easy of starting, and the fact that they can still hear themselves think. The seats are comfy, there is a cup holder, bumper, and are step thru for easy of climbing on.

The mower gives a very good cut and is put together very well. The engine is quiet and it is a Kawasaki and 15 HP is plenty for this mower. Attaching the chute for the bagger is awkward and can be difficult at times. I wash the capacity of the bagger was better with mesh bags instead of the hard plastic ones (but that is minor) I think for the money you can't beat this mower and I looked long and hard before buying one. The JD's at Home Depot, in my opinion, don't even come close. My neighbor has one and I was not impressed. There were loose bolts and the frame felt weak when compared to the Husqvarna, thats what finally made me choose the Husqvarna.

I have had the mower for two seasons now without any problems. It still cuts great and I could not be happier.
