I have a prestige now, 2nd year.. love it.. I had a toro WH 266H before.. i had it 5 years it had a 38" recycler deck. It was my first, and a good tractor.. always started and ran well.. it did not have great traction, but that was its only fault... Till at year 4, i had problems with the cut. It left a strip behind it when the grass was at all deep.
I changed everything; 2 belts, levelled the deck 2 times, did the blades 2 times, adjusted throttle governor and more stuff.. In all, i had the thing serviced 6 times and after spending over 300$, i decided the hell with it.
Now, i am not cursing Toro itself... It was a good tractor.. well made, its plastic hood faded a lot, but it was left outside from spring to winter. i was not crazy about the recycler deck.
For me, i would not buy a toro again. This is mostly because i had a sour taste left from all the money i'd spent at the dealer trying to get it working. FYI: I usually had it serviced by a local guy.. but after the problems i went to the dealer 4 times.. and the dealer was nice and tried different things.. but the problem was never really resolved.
It was a good tractor but a bad time at a dealership can turn a person off to a tractor, or at least it did me...
Is there a brand out there that you WOULD NOT Buy??
