My mower is a 2012 with very low hours. So far, so good. I was very impressed with the warranty, 5yrs/3000hrs parts, 2 yrs labor. I had planned to upgrade the seat. However, after mowing, it proved to be more comfortable than I thought it would be. These mowers are not the prettiest ones out there. But, I would definitely buy one again. 48 months, no interest.
It came down to 3 mowers: 54" Hustler Fasttrack, John Deere 655, and the DC. The Hustler and DC were my two top choices. The DC dealer in my area offered full service, which was a key factor in my decision. The Deere had a 27hp Briggs n Stratton and I just couldn't pull the trigger on that engine. All 3 mowers were within $300.00 of each other so money not the issue.
