My brother purchased a Xmark zero turn mower. Not long after he began having problems with it. Sometimes when he went to crank it, it wouldnt start as if the battery was dead. He called the dealer, Brookhaven Rent All, Brookhaven Mississippi, and was told that they knew of the problem because they had the same trouble with those engines. They told him to bring it in for repair. It sat at the dealer for a week. He called again and was told it started every time for them and they couldnt repair it until it did it for them. He picked it up. Still doing the same thing. User's recommendation: Do not buy Xmark. Warranty sucks!
