Answer 1

it is really nice.besides john deere if anything happens you have to bring it to there repair shop and there really expensive to repair.so good luck with your new mower.

Answer 2

In recent years all the big brand name mowers have made models that the big box stores can sell. They are just a little lighter in weight, smaller fuel tank, some plastic where metal used to be. It was done this way to get the price down.

You won't find the heaviest models at the box stores, but you still get the name brands.

The feature I look for is a pressurized oil system - which means you have an oil filter to change. I also look for a good engine - I prefer Kohler engines. I usually buy Craftsman garden tractor with a Kohler engine. Cub Cadet is a very good brand also.

It's just a matter of choice.

Service is the killer. Once you are out of warranty at home service can be very expensive. I've got it down now to where I can change any of the 3 belts on my tractor.I've had it for 4 years now and I mow 4 acres.

You got a good one.

Answer 3

They are all made by MTD.  

Answer 4

All mowers are as good as the maintenance done to them. Would try and change oil and filters at recommended intervals. Keep Engine and especially the deck clean. Many problems are caused by grass building up on deck. Do not wash down deck with water until the engine and transmission are completely cool. (Preferably blow off deck with compressed air). As water on heated  surfaces will cause moisture inside.

This will many times transmission failure.
