Scotts lawnmower with the14x2 spoked wheels and rim should be replaced with the more sturdy and reliable hard plastic  wheels. The metal spokes bend and prone to colapse reguardless how easy the terrain.Simple turns on the large rear wheels eventually takes its toll. Other than the wheels the machine has heldup in all other aspects mechanically and operant. Highly recommended lawnmower, just have the metal spoked wheels replaced.
