Tractor cutting deck does not raise up very high
A tractor like this is used for a fairly big lot. You want to cut your grass high as the heat of our Okanagan summers is hard on the grass. The setting of 5 is the highest it will go and its too low! It's equivalent to my old tractor height setting of 4 and that went to 6 which was about 1.5 inches higher. Be aware of this height aspect if you want to buy one. This tractor did have some starting issues and we will see if they fixed it.

Excellent buy!
Bought this tractor in May 2012. With my old tractor it was taking me close to 3 hours to cut the lawn. With this new tractor it takes me 1.5 hours. I would recommend this tractor to my friends in a heratbeat.

Nice Tractor for the price.
I was tired of cutting 3/4 of an acre with my push mower, So I picked this up for $1299 and they gave me $80 in CT money. I installed the mulch kit, Deck wash and an hour meter (good for letting you know when to change oil) Seems like a good tractor so far.
I also like the 12 equal payments with 0% interest and no fees.

Battery issues
I love my lawn tractor, it works well and mows beautifully. However, it keeps killing the battery. I had first thought there must be a short, so I started disconnecting my batt when not in use. Batteries still died. I recently just checked the batt voltage for curiosity sake. I found at idle the batt was over 14v and at high throttle it was charging the Battery to over 17v. It is cooking the battery. Wish I knew how to fix it. It is otherwise a fine tool.

Great Purchase
I purchased this lawn tractor on June 4, 2011 and I have used in a few lawns and it works great.
So far so good. Will get back with another review later.
