So the machine cuts really well. I cut about 7 acres of a grazing field. Over the time I have had it I have had to replace the drive belts twice. That is a pretty major job because the engine has to be detached from the chassis! Not a job if time is limited. I also had an issue with non-starting on one occasion and then found oil dripping from the exhaust. It appeared that when it had been tipped up during storage that oil had got into the petrol somehow. I sorted that and have had no problems since then. The final point is that if cutting grass in a field where the length of grass varies it is vital that the cutters are set high and that, I think, should be emphasised in your blurb about the machine in the manual. I hope that this is helpful.
