I've only had this thing a year & change, it's been used less than 25 hours.
The nut holding one of the blades on loosens 1 1/2-2 turns after 2-3 hours of running, then it starts banging against the stump jumper. (and the hole cut in the top of the deck to get to this nut with a socket was cut off center, so getting the socket in there is not much fun, either.
The lock on the yoke is stuck open, so I have to stop every hour to slide the yoke all the way back onto the PTO spindle. (I know, not entirely safe operating, but can't afford to replace the yoke - or even better, the whole shaft at the moment)
The tail wheel fell off yesterday and got run over - so I need to replace that, as well.
And several of the butt welds for the deck-top bracing are cracked.
I REALLY miss the old Servus brush hog that was stolen with my first tractor...
