yeah i know i've had my troubles with the center pivot...... to say the least unstable. i droped the mower deck and have alot of fun with it off road and going though mud holes. i really want to make it faster and more stable. more than once have i been on a hill reding with my buddy and have to slam and the brakes, the wheels lock up and catch something. throw the back end /engine over and take me with it not so fun
