The HD 48 was a good machine but way undersized for my new 6 acre property. I was mowing about 2 acres before. I found the ride a little rough and the tires spun very easily, especially if the lawn is damp at all. It only had 20" rear tires. Didn't like the shared hydro reservoir which contributes to cross contamination. Had some issues with the Kohler burning oil and a bad coil. If I was to do it again I'd go for the residential Bad Boy ZT for that class machine.
