I disagree about not having to sharpen new rotary cutter blades,My 513 came new from the factory with the blades with the factory edge on them,out in a hay field which had not been mowed since last year,the rotary cutter was not cutting well at all(the grass just looked shabby),an old farmer neighbor stopped and told me I needed to put alittle bit of an edge on the blades,which I did.You have to be careful and not over sharpen the blades,because of getting knicks from sticks and rocks,you need to be prudent when sharpening rotary cutter blades as not to over do it,I have put about 34 hours on my blades since sharpening them and believe me I have mowed everything there is to mow,I have no knicks,and when I cut in the grass exclusively it looks a lot better than when I first got the rotary cutter,also a dull set of blades will increase fuel consumption too.The blades from the factory on the 513 were very round on the edge before sharpening,you probably will need to "take them back a bit"by sharpening them,just dont over do it and try to sharpen them like lawn mower blades because then they will knick if you put to much of a edge on them.
A little sharpening will help but just dont try to make them too sharp.

I would have to agree with you,it happned to me one evening on my 4400,and then I started thinking about the safety switch under the seat,I had the same problem with my daughter driving are lawn tractor,she couldnt always keep the seat down and it would cut out.

The chain guard stays on,after reading your posts and thinking some about the feedback I have gotten from all of you, I thought it would be wise to leave it on for safetys sake,a friend I work with was telling me about his uncle years ago working for the DOH in Ohio,he was mowing the median and the mower picked up a stick and hit him on the back of his neck,he made it to the front door of someones house and dropped dead at the front door with a broken neck.My friend is very wise and that was one of things he has mentioned to me before when we were talking about tractors etc in the past.
Thanks again for your comments

Chuck,
I have the old designed axle,other than the scuffing problem which is not a major issue for me,is there a mechanical reliability issue as well, such as partial or total steering failure?
Thanks again

I purchased a Suzue 150 4wd last year. I had to order a water pump for it, and got it from Homestead Tractor, 22311 Bear Valley Road, Apple Valley, CA 92308. Ph (760)240-1140. I was curious how you have been making out with your Suzue, and if you were able to get the parts you were looking for in your Jan. message... I have a little more info on these tractors that I came up with in my own research, if you are interested, and was wondering if you had come up with any other info.

Hi, I have a 100+ acre hunting camp in the Adirondacs, about 15% is field rest wooded. I think a tractor would be very handy for clearing brush, mowing, hauling firewood, planting food plots and many more things. My concern is, I now live 500 miles from my camp and I'm only there for about 30 days a year. How well would a tractor fair being kept in a shed for 5 months at a strech ? Winter lows range below -30 f most years, would I have to do any special perperation to over winter it ? Assuming the long periods storage will not be a problem what size tractor should I be looking at 25, 35, 40 hp ? As you can tell I'm a complete newbie to the tractor world (I have not even driven a ridding lawn mower), do dealers offer some sort of training for safe operation of this equipment. My camp is isolated and I'm often alone on 3 day trips so I am concerned about learning safe operating procedures before buying one of these machines.

Thanks for your response Tom. I got my tractor and REALLY love it. I haven't
mowed with it yet, but the backhoe is a small demon. Yes, I have to DIG out the oak stumps, but it goes through clay and loose cobblew with no trouble. Love my little green machine.

Perhaps you could add creep speeds to your tractor? If you could make the tractor move more slowly, the tines would have more time to dig. Troy-bilt walk behind tillers could use a lower gear too, in my experience.
