I have had many ride on mowers and was given a brand new Mcculloch ride on mower after my last mower died. I can honestly say that I have never had such a crap piece of equipment in my life. This thing shakes and rattles so bad you need an hour to get over the experience. Unless your lawn is as flat and as smooth as a billiard table don't bother as anything longer than a cm it has a dicky fit. If I had actually paid for it then it would have gone back first cut. Complete and utter crap, DO NOT BUY a Mcculloch ride on.
