has anyone ever heard such nonsense?

I'm just speculating here... It probably has to do with the increased morbid weight averages in western society.

The tractors are only designed to take a certain amount of abuse and Husky has seen a dramatic increase of warranty work due to grossly overweight 'operators'.

What??????? You don't have any "fat" people in OZ?

Good Lord, yes we do... I was attempting to be "sensitive & delicate" to those people.

We may be South & Downunder but we're still a Western society.

From MDT:
Towing Capacity - Riding Mower

As a general rule of thumb, using a single-axle trailer and a properly maintained and adjusted tractor, you should be able to pull approximately half the weight of the tractor fairly safely and with control over level ground and over slopes less than 5 degrees.

A friend of mine bought a john deer lawn tractor, (I don't remember the model) he pulled a small cart all the time. Some times loaded, sometimes not. He's not a super heavy guy, but something took it's toll, cause after a year or so, the tranny started slipping when he pulled a load...

He declared it a POS and sent it down the road... lol

Good one to show the Husqvarna dealer-

Have to wonder if Husky quit using metal gears in the trans or rear axle???

Like xring100 said, they're building to a price point, only!

Transmission and not motors are the weak point in most of the lower priced mowers. Any mower with a rear tire less than 23" will not have a transmission that will allow a lot of weight to be moved. A lot of the ZTR mowers are set up with great transmissions but still only tow a tiny bit ,if any.
