I bought this mower after looking at several other brands. Two main reasons for my decision was having a good dealer nearby and value for the money. I have 7 hours on it so far and am pleased with the way it performs. As for long term reliability, I'll let you know that 3 or 4 years down the road. This is my first zero turn mower and there is a learning curve involved. I installed a set of bar tread on the drive tires to help with traction on the slopes. I'm 71 years old and expect this to be the last mower I will have to buy.
