Strengths will get back to you on that on !!!!

Weaknesses have to replace blades every year,eats belts,cuts off on its on,heavy on fuel use,pulleys do not have grease fittings ughhhhh ,my wife says it is a lemon & a P.O.S.

Overall are you kidding me-----overpriced-----

Strengths 27hp Kolher motor starts everytime and has plenty of power frame under machine well built controls are well placed.great payment plan 3 years 0% intrest 3%over all plan but not compounded so pretty good.seat is well built.

Weaknesses Have not found one yet but we had a drought this year and have only 10 hours on it.

Overall I looked at mowers for 2 years before I bought one I looked at Dixie Chopper,Bad Boy, Farris, Kubota,Hustler,John Deere,Woods,Gravely,oh ya and Dixion. If I missed one tell me. I'am kind of picky about what I buy I looked at build quality,possible problems in the futra with things like the spindles belts ride and comfort. In that time their were some changes made to the Cub. Had one problem right off the start my fuel caps leaked. The dealer called me and made me aware of it so I didn't have time to call him they had a recall on the caps like the next day. they told me I would get new one's in the mail 2 day's later had them on no problems since. also got a free seat cover in from Cub MTD fits well. I had a great dealer I went back to buy my Cub leaf blower no problems with it.

Strengths The tractor is very versatile and a strong performer. Included is a striper. Heavy duty cast one piece deck. 20mph top speed. Very good rider.

Weaknesses The seat placement lasted 2 days before I stripped it and had to use a belt to fasten it down. Unless you are mowing a smooth 3" yard don't even attempt cutting at 20 or even 10 mph. It's hard to clean the grass under the deck unless you have a drive on rack/jack. I've had mine for 3 1/2 years and have only cut my lawn (2 acres) with it, it has a little over 50 hours on it and I just got it back from the shop where it had spun a bearing and the PTO clutch needed to be replaced. 521.00 dollars, this also included a 69 dollar rear hitch option, and 35 dollar labor fee. They said it was very very rare for the clutch to go out on such a little used not abused machine. Of course it was 6 mos. out of warranty. It would also be nice to have a cup holder or water bladder/cooler built in and a seat belt. I mow at about 5 - 7 mph. To do it over again, I would not buy the mulching kit - it bogs the mower down.

Overall On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I'd give my M60 a 4. I wish I wouldv'e looked around before purchasing, I probably would've ended up with something else.
