Took delivery same day I ordered it and it is a blast. Haven't had this fun since my Army tanker days at Ft. Knox. I have six acres in the north Georgia mountains. Average slope is 18 degrees but have some spots close to 30. Been going downhill only on the steep stuff. Got prices from three dealers and they were all within $400 of each other. The dealer I bought from in Cleveland, GA said he was new to the product so we will see what happens if it needs service. Seems no one in this county has a 27 hp Kohler engine so I ordered a few years supply of oil filters.
Haven't had any problems other than the seat safety switch wire was dressed too short and adjusting the seat disconnected it. That was easy to remedy. I trashed my discharge chute on a big rock the first day so I decided to install my mulch kit. With a few well placed four letter words, it managed to fit and works great.
Suggestion: Seems to need a double sump on the fuel tanks because running with half tank going up a long hill is exciting when it starves. I have to top off the tank too often. Maybe it can feed from Both tanks instead of one at a time.
Will try to send some pictures in future.
