Strengths Really like how it makes my uneven lawn, even. It is really powerful. I mow 1 1/2 acres and it has cut my mowing time by 1/3. Handles very easily with the power steering.

Weaknesses Hard to tell when running out of gas. Bought used. 349 hours.

Overall So far, I LOVE IT!

Strengths Nice Mower. Good ride, somewhat low noise level. Deck rides on ground, so that my very bumpy yard gets an even cut without scalping. Put a spinner on steering wheel since it has power steering.

Weaknesses No Fuel gage, although there is a low level light. Currently the cruise control is not working, pops out of engagement.

Overall Like my 3184. I only mow just under an acre, so I'm pretty easy on it. Bought used with 200 hr, now at 275. Total problems are the cruise control, and one broken shear bolt.
