Hi Damo, very similar to the Stallion and the XL5, good little machine, in my opinion a better machine than the front engine ones as there is less weight over the front wheels as steering is always an issue with these machines that have both rear wheels in constant drive. If you put a bit of effort and time into it you will have a good little unit. The deck height adjuster is a bit primitive. As for the motor it might even be a 5 hp unless somebody has fitted a bigger one but for these 5 hp is adequate
