The price of this machine was good, but nothing else about it was. The steering mechanisms are badly designed and the parts holding it together wear out and need replacement within 2-3 years. The drive belt has been a constant problem (wears out quickly if your yard isn't flat)and I have constantly had problems starting the engine. I have had too many trips to the repair man to review this machine positively. Perhaps mine was just a lemon, but I certainly had a bad experience with it.
