I think you'll be satisfied, its still doing great this year.

Yes its a great engine, I'm happy with it.

Luckily you got the muffler with the brace, man has less than 15 hours and split both pipes on each side and broke 1 flange completely off. Thankfully got it warrantied. I like the cutter for what it can do, but several area need to be improved…it needs a rear discharge setup like the front and the height adjustment needs to work like a conventional trailer jack (not that cheap J-Bar currently used. This unit should’ve been equipped with a commercial air filter like a Donaldson.

Put green slime in the tires. Problem solved. All tires can go flat.
