MF, the axle is as tight as anything - not flogged out at all - neither is the rod going to the front wheels
I stripped down a alloy deck today (severely cracked and blasted) and next to a steel deck it was noticeable (though axles were a bit worn)
The issue is although the buffalo doesn't have much thatch, the only way to keep it alive through summer is to keep it high (grows nicer anyway)
