An absolute powerhouse. I’ve owned this mower for a little over a month and have had zero issues. The Kawasaki engine is more than adequate. The build quality of the mower and deck far exceeded my expectations. The new design is also refreshing. You will not be disappointed with your purchase.

I have an XT2 LX46, fabricated deck, that I bought last spring and has 25 hours on it. Multiple issues that have made me regret my purchase: 1. With mulching kit, the deck clogs easily unless grass is perfectly dry. 2. Deck seems too heavy for the deck suspension system. Doesn’t stay level, affecting cut. I’ve had to set the scuff rollers almost to the cut height to get a good-looking even lawn. 3. EFI seems to stumble and then surge when load changes. Dealer didn’t have a fix last summer. I still don’t have a fix although haven’t asked this season yet. 4. Steering linkage is quite weak. Easily bent. 5. Bottom sealed (non-greasable) bearing on deck spindle failed due to water infiltration. The deck has a water washout port! The bearings can’t handle water? Dealer wants machine for 3 weeks to fix an 8-bolt, 10-minute part change! I managed to find replacement bearings locally today and rebuilt the spindle in less than an hour for $35. I wish I’d bought a more robust machine at the $5000 price point. I got what I paid for. I may trade it in. I don’t recommend the XT2 LX46 EFI

Great performance, but uncomfortable ride. I have mowed my lawn twice with my 2022 mower. It cuts well, plenty of power, and turns tightly. Unfortunately, it is extremely uncomfortable to ride. I am 6’2″ and wish I had more legroom. The seat is at an angle that does not support my back, and I get a sore back from riding it. After two cuts, I regret the purchase
