Greetings. Great Machine. Had one for a year or so and my only gripe was that the engine/exhaust was LOUD! This was compared to my prior Lazer Z which was quiet enough to use without hearing protection. My recommendation is to get a good set of ear muffs or ear plugs. Otherwise, they drive/ride nicely, the cut quality is what you would expect from an Exmark and the machine is really well built.
Lovely machine. You'll really like it. Some of the features you won't really appreciate until you get some hours on it. Everything is easy to reach and service.
Two modifications I made...
1. The fuel line runs under the bulkhead behind the seat. If you'll unplug the line from the Fuel Valve, there's enough slack in the hose to run it OVER the bulkhead. This allows you to easily reach the fuel from the drivers seat, which can be handy. And since this model has a fuel pump, there's no down-side.
2. Added a battery cutoff switch to help with winter storage. I like it so much I use it on a daily basis now. This was about $9 on Amazon.
Hope this helps.
