Just checking in. I purchased a new Raptor SDX about 2 months ago from a local dealer after fighting with a box store Cub Cadet(MTD) rider the last couple years that I bought new but ever since it hit the 6 year mark things really started going bad on it, spindles, starter, ect...... Have no complaints yet with the new SDX mower except the cost of accessories from Hustler like the flex forks or the light kit. I know the dealer really well that I purchased it from as he has been my Arctic Cat powersports dealer for 20+ years now, so any issues I know he will treat me right. It is always nice though to see what other's have to say about things so I signed up on the forum. Thanks for hosting this forum.
