I was really impressed with it cutting grass. Even though the deck was in very good shape I tore it down last summer, sand blasted and painted it. It will be my main grass cutter.I really love the look of that 3415H. Had a chance a few years ago to pick one up with some accessories. One of those I'll call tomorrow and when tomorrow came it was gone.
Everyone has told me nothing cuts like a simplicity. I still think a properly adjusted and setup JD 110 cuts best in my experience but I don't have a simplicity to compare to.
