I've had my Raven for one week now. First - I bought a Troy-Built Mustang ZTR last April 2012. Horrible mower. Not one grease fitting anywhere and blades already beginning to squeal. A true piece of junk. One week ago, I was in Lowes and happened to mention the problems with the mower, and the store manager said "I want you happy" and offered a FULL refund or trade (11 months old and used all last Summer !!). He sold me the raven for $192 difference !! My first comments on the Raven - Will not start without choke. Took a long time to find the choke. Have to lower the rear bed to pull it on everytime. With no grass to mow (Indiana), I tried it in the cornfield with standing stalks. Mowed them down with not even a slow down of power or noise. Very quiet. Learning curve is a little steep. Headlights but no tail lights. Seat could go back farther for me (6'3") but doesn't. I really miss the ZTR function, but will get used to it. Should come with seat belt and helmet - FAST. I like it. I notice with gas engine on and using pedal, it surges, but with cruise control it smooths out somewhat. Electric drive is smooth and quiet. Got a quick response from the factory when I asked where the choke was, but subsequent questions have gone un-answered.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
