[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 2973830, member: 10973"] Center of gravity looks pretty high on that smaller rider, the XT1 looks good to me, the Kohler 7000 Series twins seem to be good engines. Kohler had a few issues with the Courage line a few years back that kinda gave them a bad name but so far the 7000 engines are holding up well. My i1046 has a Courage twin, bought new 9 years ago and have not had any problems with anything. I take that back, last summer the safety switch part of the PTO engagement switch went bad. I just bypassed it so the mower would start. If I ever sell it I will get a new switch. The deck wheels do help on uneven ground, they are commonly referred to as anti scalp wheels. Only place I could see where one could get away without them is a perfectly flat lawn resembling a golf green. I mow 7 1/2 acres of old pasture turned into lawn, anti scalp wheels are a necessity.
