I have to ask.....you make this statement in your review:

"Mated to a Tuff-Torq K46 transaxle, this is an obvious improvement over the unserviceable hydrostatic transmissions..............."

How is a K46 serviceable? I think the K72's (?) have features that allow the oil and possibly the filter being changed, but not the K4X, K5X and K6X series TT's.

I'm on the fence (for various reasons) over buying a new tractor and it will be a Simplicity to replace my 1996 era Broadmoor (with a tired hydro). I've been leaning towards a Conquest (to get the K6X trans) as I have a big lot and need to puller a roller often. But in reality a Broadmoor with a 52" deck might be all I need but they don't have the heavier duty trannny.

Sorry, been away for a few days and thanks for the pick up. We had looked at several dealers and brands that day and slipped in one incorrect word. :)

The K66 is serviceable as the oil can and should be changed.
