MoreI really want to love this mower, but I'll let others describe the good things about this mower and describe one critically poor component that I feel you must know about:The two transaxles in this mower cannot be serviced; the oil and filter cannot be changed. In my experience this drastically reduces the duty cycle and lifetime of the mower. At 4 years of ownership and ~186 hours run-time, my right side transaxle died. And a single new transaxle is nearly 20% of the new cost of the entire mower.I have 3 acres of grass to cut and now I read in the Q&A here that the mower "is rated for 1.5 acres". That just seems terribly low for such a robustly built machine, but now I suspect why. The transaxles have inadequate cooling for only ~1.5 quarts of oil that can never be changed.

Perhaps that would allow the trans time to cool.Other related cautions:- Don't push or pull (tow) anything with the mower. The transaxles are rated for a 900 Lb (total) machine and this mower weighs nearly 700. Add a 200 Lb rider and you're already at the limit.- Don't operate the drive levers quickly: the transaxles inner rotating parts are steel against aluminum and oil pressure spikes from fast accel/decel can dig chunks out of the internal aluminum pump/motor "center section" part and, since you can't change the oil or filter, the resulting contamination will eventually destroy the transaxle.Final notes:- The transaxles CAN be repaired, I did it myself but it was not simple. I suspect it would still be cheaper than bu
