Hello fonz3482,
Glad to have you aboard the forum!
I have one of those green thingys (x485) and the biggest complaint that I have about it is the way the belly mower handles the grass. It did NOT shoot out the grass worth a darn until I bought a set of "special" high life blades, it seems to build up with clipping way too much and if you are not extremely careful when cornering while mowing, you will leave two little strips of grass that never gets touched by the blades. It has the 62" deck.
This is why I am working on fixing up Cub Cadets right now!
