this is a nice looking mower and cuts pretty good, however I had mine since may the delivery was supposed to be liftgate service but no truck was available till the following monday after waiting 3 weeks i went to pick it up. since then I'm on my third fuel filter(they are cheaply made and leak) I have a new keyed ignition (the other one was coroded and shorted out) and with 13 hours on it the left hydro pump went out which is a sealed, maintenence free pump? I sent it in for warrenty work which took three weeks before i got it back. and now there is a small leak in the seam of the tire, the belt comes off when you disengage the blades. since the warrenty work I mowed twice and now the hydro pump on the right side went out this lawn mower has 20 hours on it right now. does anybody know about the lemon laws in michigan?
The Z-Beast is made by a North Carolina company named GXi Outdoor Power (sells under the DEK name) They also make and sell the Stanley 62" Ztr.
Before I'd buy that Beast I'd check on the The Ariens Max Zoom, it has the 3100 Transaxles
And would be a better mower IMO and a bit cheaper.
