Junk mower prone to breaking down - flawed deck design
Model Year: 2008
What a terrible mower. I should have read other reviews rather than trusting the brand name. The desk design is flawed. springs constantly break. I've gone through 3 springs, 11 belts, an exhaust manifold, and a deck pulley, in just 2 years of ownership. The LCD display no longer works. The hood bracket broke and I had to make my own repairs. None of this is covered under the useless so called warranty. The engine backfires about 70% of the time after I turn it off, the dealer informs me its common, not repairable, and not covered under warranty. This mower is a money pit. I know the deck inside out and can remove it, replace a broken part, and reinstall it in 10 minutes now. Not something to be proud of. Trust me, this not a good mower.
Pros: None. Waste of money.
Cons: Deck design fault.
