This is a great machine for the money.
Mine is a few years old now and has taken some punishment.
Engine speed 'hunts' but suspect a full service will fix that - It has only ever had two oil changes and is still using original air filter and spark plug.
I have needed two pink cogs so far but these are very cheap and designed to break to save the rest of the machine. Both times mine were wrecked by running over things that weren't supposed to be cut(a dog bone and a stone). - You need to keep spares unless you have a repair place nearby as it is game over once it's gone.
I have now have an issue with the bearing in the QX cassette which causes cylinder to drop by about 1mm and hit bottom blade. New cassette is £130plus, but bearings £2 each online so looks like I'll be pulling the cassette apart tomorrow to make sure I order right parts.
