Since I bought my 3200 in May 2008, it has been a nightmare. I got the tractor to replace an old JD and an older wheelhorse. Since then I have had to replace the gas tank, a whole new transmission, and now the mower actuator. Each time the tractor has been in the shop for two to four weeks. Thank goodness I kept the old wheelhorse. Getting parts is a real hassle and the tractor has been a real disappointment. Customer service is even worse. If I had it to do over again I would go GREEN if you know what I mean...
