2016 I bought my Hustler and got the more expensive one because the salesman said it would last longer. But in 2018 I had to take it in because it didn’t want to go. Took it in to dealer and they replaced left drive , some bearings and a few other things. Said warranty covered it I ask about other drive they said there was nothing wrong with it. February 27 2020 I took it in because I noticed a leak. They say the other drive is leaking at the seal. They want 1200.00 to fix. I’ve got 118 hours on this mower I feel I have taken extremely good care of this mower and feel this mower should have lasted a lot longer than it has before this stuff goes bad.
