Bought mine Nov 2021 to use the next year. Worked fine seemingly for the year. 2023 I got maybe six or seven days use before all sorts of things broke off the machine. Enough so that it was put in the shop end of June and parts to fix it didn't show up until almost November. So ardisam offered a new mower (after five months of no mowing the sixty acre deer property it was bought for). 2024 the new replacement lasts about 15 hours. The pulley guide bolts - all 4 get sheared off (pretty sure the same happened on the first one but never realized it), the pulley breaks and the wheel falls off. ardisam says sorry, figure out how to get it out of the field and take it to a service shop. Get it there about the end of June. Get it to the shop, ardisam is covering the cost but the shop tells me don't expect the mower until sometime in September because they're waiting for the parts. Do not recommend, try DR, Swisher or whatever else you can find.

Considering there is a need for a shield in front of the electrical..I blew a belt and took out the relay and wires...
Anyone know where to get new belt?
My belt lasted about 45 minutes before it snapped when a tire went into a depression. Brand new machine
Would be nice to see how to tension the belt as well.
