Huskee

Very poor product. The extended warranty service is poor, often weeks without the mower while they repair it. I have had it just over a year and nothing but problems. I cannot recommend this poorly made product. The only saving grace is that I spent even more money for that warranty, so at least I am not paying for the lengthy repair process.

I bought this Huskee Lawn Tractor (21 HP 46" cut SKU = 4494049 MTD = 13AT688H731) from a rural farmer that, in hindsight, seemed to work really hard to sell it to me. During the 'demonstration', it actually broke a belt. Okay, so 'stuff' happens, I didn't give it a second thought when he offered to replace the belt and bring it to me in town early the next day.

He delivered it and I cut a couple of strips of grass to see that everything was working properly. I paid him cash, and he left. Later that afternoon, I didn't make it two laps around the yard before the belt was shredded to pieces. I suspected that the farmer's sphincter was as tight as a drum while I was cutting those two strips. Anyway, it looked as if I had been 'taken', so-to-speak. Things happen for a reason, so I wasn't inclined to replace a belt so quickly after a new one had just been installed. My father and I disassembled the mower deck and discovered much of what has already been posted on this site. This farmer had Gerry-rigged, a non-OEM belt, onto the pulley system. In doing so, he had disabled the tension features of the idler pulley and had manually strained and tightened-down the pulley, so that it wouldn't move. In retrospect, this explained his comment about the replacement belt listed on the underside of the engine cover being incorrect. This also turned out to be untrue.

The root cause of the belt shredding appears to have been the result of an idler pulley operating at an angle that caused friction on the outer edge of the belt. I can't say if this was the result of the previous owner 'forcing' the improper belt on the system, or, if there was a natural tendency of the pulley's metal to bend over time. At any rate, pounding the pulley, to mount back into the correct position where it was aligned with all others on the deck, appears to have worked. If you are going to do this, make sure you remove the pulley first. You can physically see the unnatural rubbing of the belt on the pulley if you thread a new belt on correctly and simulate rotation.

To the matter of the correct replacement belt, we found that the belts listed on the inside of the engine cover were correct. It turns out that the threading of the pulleys on the deck is just so convoluted, that you probably won't get it right without a belt diagram. Believe me, we pondered this 'every way to Sunday' before we found the correct diagram on the Internet (which took forever). Anyway, things seem to be working now, and I hope my documented experience can help someone in the future. So far I have cut a half-acre lawn for about a full season without a belt breaking. That doesn't mean my sphincter isn't tight every time I turn that starter key!

My father bought a 2007 Huskee Lawn Tractor, 42" cut, 17.5HP, from TSC. This is the worst mower I have ever had to use or work on. This piece of ** will not make it through two cuts of our yard without shredding or throwing a deck drive belt. We have replaced at least 20 belts on this mower in the last two seasons. We had to replace the two main drive belts twice in the last 2 years and also had a problem with the front axle pivot bar wearing out and breaking. I ordered a replacement pivot bar for $150 and replaced it last night. The original bar is now obsolete and has been replaced by a new style, which does not match up exactly with the old style. There is a 1" difference in the height of the old style versus the new style. Apparently, they now offer bushings to compensate for this difference (would've been nice to know when we ordered the new style replacement). I found bushing locally and installed the new assembly, only to find that the tow-in is now out by 2 1/2". The tolerance is 5/16" max. Something is obviously wrong with the "new" style replacement part.

I spend most of my weekends working on this piece of **. I have worked on this pile more than I have mowed, and we have 2 acres. Every time we have to mow, I cringe, just waiting to see what will break next. I have spent countless hours, well over $1,000 in replacement parts and have gained several hundred new gray hairs over this mower. These product should be recalled. MTD/Huskee should be held accountable for their product. Consumers should be reimbursed for their time and expenses incurred working on their **.

I am copying a letter I sent through registered mail to Power Plus Plan. Please read this entire letter as the details are significant. I purchased a Huskee 19hp 46-inch riding mower from Tractor Supply Store in Springfield, Illinois on June 17, 2009. It was a dream for the first few weeks. However, then I had to replace the battery as it did not want to start without a jump. This worked for part of season in 2010. As I began the season in 2011, I realized it must not be a battery problem; and I did not want to continue buying batteries. I called 1-866-765-2687 to utilize my Power Plan Plus as this seemed to be a major problem. In times past, the representative discouraged use of the plan as a "major problem" may occur in the future.

Upon calling the PPP number on May 4, 2011, your representative, Jennifer, said Small Engine Repairs of Washington, Illinois would be calling to pick up the mower for repair. After waiting a few days, I had to call SER to set up the pick-up. I was told the mower would be picked up on May 10, 2011 and be back in about 2 weeks. After 2 1/2 weeks, I began checking back with SER so as to the return of the mower. Numerous phone calls resulted in nothing. I called PPP on June 10, 2011. I began to explain the situation to Alesia (I am not sure of spelling). She was kind and offered to put in for another mower as it had been 4 weeks. I was to be contacted in 3-5 business days from a representative about delivery of another mower.

On June 13, 2011, the representative, whose name I did not write down, informed me the mower was done and delivery would be in a couple of days. She seemed to know nothing about the replacement mower. On June 17, 2011, since no one had contacted me, I called PPP and talked with Shannon. She did not seem to know anymore about my claim than did the representative of June 13. Jackie, her supervisor, then told me the replacement mower was denied and the manufacturer's warranty had expired 1 day from the repair being completed. The situation now is who will pay for the repair. Jackie also said the repair would only be under a 30-day workman warranty, if SER chooses to offer it, when the mower is eventually returned. Jackie said the problem was that the safety switch under the seat had been loose.

After checking around, I found that many people disconnected their safety switch and still start their mower without issue. It has already been 6 weeks since my mower was picked up, and 7 weeks since the phone call with representative Jennifer. In the meantime, my just-over-an-acre of yard was about 12 inches high by the first 2 weeks. I have had to borrow a riding mower at intervals. This is difficult as people need to schedule their own mowing around the rain which has been abundant. The mower I have been able to borrow has had its own problems. All of these issues together had required me (a single parent) to be outside trying to mow what I can and keep a used rider going. My handicapped 8-year olds have been pushed aside as Mom is busy outside trying to keep the grass cut.

My other children have had peanut butter sandwiches for supper, too many times. Frankly, it appears that the plan our family had to sacrifice and purchase a $1599.66 Huskee with PPP to keep me out of the yard so much has been a farce. I do not believe good business practice will be served unless this is resolved immediately with a replacement mower, or my money reimbursed in full for me to purchase a different mower. I hope you will act quickly, as I do not wish to take further action. After sending this letter, I received a call from SER then PPP supervisor, Jackie, to return the mower. I will not be home to sign as my daughter is seeing a surgeon tomorrow.

I purchased the Huskee 3-in-1 High Wheel Push Mower on a Saturday, a week ago. The first time we used it, the starter cord snapped right off. It looked all frayed, like it was old. The company said to take it for repair, but the store that sold it replaced it. Well, the replacement machine did the same thing, the first time we used it! The store will only replace it, not refund our money.

We bought a Huskee SLT 4600 with 19 hp engine and 46-inch deck in 2007 for about $1400. It ran okay for 2 years. At that point, the blades would not disengage after the first time of engaging them after start. And the upper drive belt had broken previously. We replaced belts (several times so to date), battery, spark plug, blades etc. which seemed to fix the problem for 2 mowings. At that point, my wife heard/felt something and the mower started smoking. It turns out the shoulder bolt which holds the LH idler bracket assembly sheared the threads off in the deck. And the assembly and pulley were no longer attached while the belt was spinning, causing it to burn. The shoulder bolt (which has no grease fitting) had frozen/welded itself into the idler bracket assembly - the bracket is supposed to be able to pivot around the shoulder bolt.

We replaced the bracket assembly. Now one of the spindles sounds bad, which is listed as $86.68. We've already replaced the belts several times and have to again, along with a spindle assembly. So far the total including the $39.99 tap and die set and shipping is around $500. And I am going to add another $100 or so to that total now. In addition, I had to purchase a tap and die set to thread the holes in the new idler bracket assembly as this was not done on the new part.

We also purchased a Huskee rear tine tiller in 2007 for $799.99. I used it 5 times over 3 years (convenient that the warranty had expired by that time). The shift assembly went bad (part that goes into the gear case that moves the clutch collar along its shaft). The Honda engine runs like a champ. But the gear box that runs the tines and forward/reverse drive is no longer operable. The clutch collar is circular piece around a shaft in the gear box. And the shift assembly (welded U-channel shaped metal with a semi circle cut-out and two sorts of tabs that fit into a notch/slot in the clutch collar) bent outward. So, it no longer engages the clutch collar and hence no tilling or forward/reverse drive. The complete gear box is listed for $617.87 which is 77.23% of the total cost of the product. I just don't see how the motor, frame, counter balance weight, wheels and tires, tines, sheet metal, and handle are only 22% of the product cost. We are without a tiller for 2 years now. I purchased both of these from Tractor Supply in Bedford, VA.

I purchased a Huskee in 1989 and it still is running great. So I bought another one in 2008 and it is running great.

I purchased a Huskee LT4600 in 2008. I have had nothing but problems from the start. Within months, I had to replace the drive belt. After that, I had to replace the spindle assembly, which included deck repairs also, then another belt. And currently, a pulley has torn completely off the deck. The total repairs in less than 24 months closing is in on $800. How many issues should there be with a product before the company addresses? This is ridiculous.

I bought a Huskee 23 HP 50" cut riding mower in 2004, brand new, at Tractor Supply. The first time I mowed, it began smoking so I took it back to the store and they swapped it out with the mower I have now. It started off good but by that time it was the end of mowing season or the next year, as soon as I started mowing, it broke a belt and the spindle assembly as well as the belt had to be replaced.

Well, to make a long story short, it breaks belts frequently and also the spindle assembly's keep going bad. I have consistently bought each and every belt for the deck multiple times at $30 to $70 each and have also had to replace two spindle assembly's at least four or five times at $189 each (2 @ $189 = $378).

I refused to spend another dollar on this mower because this is going nowhere. I agreed that someone should be held accountable for this problem whether it be the manufacturer or the Tractor Supply Company for selling junk merchandise!

My dad bought a Huskee 46" mower from Tractor Supply in Lenoir, NC. The mower has shredded belts, both main drive and mower deck belts, since the day he owned it. It took me months to figure out the mower deck on the machine he owns and the deck shown in the manual are totally different. Now the tension springs on the deck break like they are made of plastic. The people at Tractor Supply are useless when it comes to ordering parts. Plus, they are overpriced.

I bought a Huskee Supreme 54" deck from a friend who was moving out of state. I'm not having the type of belt problems that others are reporting with the 46" deck, but I need a replacement ignition switch. Seems Huskee has been bought out by MDT or something like that. Where can a person get parts for Huskee Supreme riding mower these days?

I bought a Huskee 46" riding lawnmower. From the fourth time I used it, belts started tearing and breaking and the belts aren't cheap. The belts break and then the lower assembly and springs start getting out of line. This mower has been nothing but a nightmare and I will never buy a Huskee product again. Since I went and bought a used Snapper riding mower, I have not had a single problem this summer of 20101.

I bought a Huskee lawn tractor in 2006. It is a 23hp 46" deck. I had the left double pulley spindle replaced and bought two belts a year. This year, I just had that same spindle replaced. By the time of the mowing season is over, it will probably be 4 belts this year, about $32 a belt and $80 a spindle. That's 8 belts and 2 spindles, costing $416. That's not right.

We purchased a 42" Huskee cut 22HP riding mower on July 31, 2008 and have had nothing but trouble with mostly the motor. We had it worked the first time with 22 hours on it. Now, it is down again. It is a piece of junk and someone needs to be held responsible. We would like our money back.

I am also someone who purchased the Huskee LT4600 from TSC. The first year, the engine drive belt broke. After replacing that, the engine to deck drive belt broke. Since then, that same belt has broken and/or stretched and mutilated beyond recognition every two cuts. I have just read that I'm not alone in this. And the belts from TSC are around $30 a piece. Who has that kind of money to spend every two cuts? Especially for a mower that is less than 2 years old!

Due to this issue, I have spent over a couple hundred dollars on belts before finally just going somewhere else to buy throw-away belts of the same size. I also think there should have been a recall on this Huskee

I bought a 2007 Huskee Lawn Tractor in April 2007 from Tractor Supply (TSC). I could hardly use it the first year because it keeps breaking belts. TSC sent it to the shop at least twice. Finally, they swapped out tractors on Oct. 2007. The next year, I had trouble with the blades staying tight. I even broke a couple of belts in 2008. I even had to buy a spindle assembly for it. At the beginning of the 2009 season, the bolts came loose on one of the spindles and tore up the deck and put the blade through the side.

I have had nothing but trouble with the mower deck on my Huskee 46' deck. I called TSC about it this year and they said because I did not get the extended warranty; there is nothing they can do. But they said they would have the Huskee rep. call me or stop by and see the problem, but I have not heard anything from them or TSC. I had to go out to buy me a new lawn tractor.

I will never buy any Huskee equipment ever again. I would hope that someone would contact me to see if there is something the company can do to help me with this problem. I have had no trouble with the tractor just the mower deck. Thank you for taking the time to read my problem.

Purchased a brand new Huskee slt4600 on 10/6/07. It didn't even work the first year. The drive to deck belt (oem-754-0467) kept breaking. I must have replaced about 20 belts and have 199 hours on it as of 7/11/10. The company should be sued for knowing the deck is inadequate and selling a product that is a piece of junk. Why wasn't it recalled? Why can't we get our money back for the belts? At this time, the piece of junk (that looks good) is sitting in our garage because my husband is disgruntled and won't put another belt on. He did one lap on and broken a belt. The company needs to step up to the plate. They need to be forced to. This resulted to $1000 in belts, repairs, cut hands bleeding, and back pain.

First of all the number for the replacement belt in the manual is WRONG and it took me forever to figure that out, with the help of a TSC employee. This was after several belts that were "supposed" to fit but didn't. Mind you, we are talking about a belt that costs $50 a shot. Unbelieveable in itself. Then after a couple seasons of belts breaking after about 3 mowings of my yard I sent it to an independent shop that fixes Huskee. Actually an authorized shop for TSC.

The belt he put on lasted for about a season but then it broke too. Now the belt I just bought didn't even last ONE lap around the yard and it completely shredded. The pulley system on this thing is the most assinine configuration I've ever seen. The belt goes around a two wheel idler bracket that uses the front AND BACK of the drive belt. I've wasted $2,100 on the mower in the first place and I've lost count of the number of drive belts I've purchased. Let this be fair warning! Don't make my mistake and purchase ANY Huskee product. You'll just be throwing you money down the toilet.

After two weeks I had not received the spring. I contacted Tractor Supply Company to inquire, but got placed on hold, transferred, placed on hold, transferred again...only to find out the part had not been ordered yet! Finally, after another three weeks, I received the spring, a $6.00 spring. I put the spring on the deck and it worked fine until later that same season when it broke again. I went elsewhere to order the spring and when I received it a week later it lasted the rest of the season.

Middle of the third season, I couldn't believe it, it broke again! Later that season, the mower deck belt broke. That was not a problem, easy fix. Now this season, still fairly early in the season (Memorial Day for crying out loud!) I have already replaced the steering shaft(two weeks ago) and now the drive belt tensioning spring has broken. What upsets me is that when the $1,200.00 Huskee "Supreme" lawn tractor [breaks], I have to mow 1 acre with a $300.00 push mower which actually does a better job. Although walking is good for you, there are other weekend activities I would rather be doing. I would love to ditch this and get a new mower, but at this time I can not afford it. But it won't be a Huskee or from Tractor Supply Company, that is for sure!

My husband was working on our neighbor's Huskee riding lawn mower. After he had finished, we began to load it on our lawn mower trailer. The mower deck got high-centered on the hinge of the trailer. The mower was not engaged! The lever was in the position of blades off. My husband reached down to pick up on the deck and apparently the tension from the deck being high-centered cause the pulley to activate the blades. My husband chopped part of his ring finger out and cut open his middle finger. We had to go the the ER because of the way it cut his hand the doctor could not give stitches. When we came home, he started the trailor. I could see the blades moving and as he backed the Huskee down off the trailor, the blades stopped.

I have searched the internet for Huskee's web site or a contact number but cannot locate such. They need to be advised about this safety issue before someone else gets hurt worse than my husband.

I bought a Huskee Supreme 46 in. 20 HP Lawn Tractor. It has been nothing but belt problems. The mowing deck is just too cheaply built. The belts just won't stay on the pulleys. Anyway, I would not buy another Huskee Lawn Tractor.

Purchased a huskee 500 Series push mower two years ago. Bought the extended warranty. We just replaced it for the 7th time and this one has to be taken back, also. Once you stop mowing to take a break, refuel, etc. It won't keep running. Same problem, each time. As soon as the warranty is over. I will never buy another Huskee. It is a worthless product.

I'm totally in disbelief that the people who make Huskee tractor batteries are too stupid to put the Voltage on the battery. Am I supposed to psychically tunnel that information? 6 Volts? 12 Volts? 24 Volts? Should I consult the Tarot cards? That's pretty slack guys... and 1st semeter circuit theory at that.

well,it seems to me that the 23hp mowers are the ones that is giving everyone problems,huskee mowers that is.let me tell you about my 16.5hp 42in cut that i purchased back in 1996 well i had some trouble with the mower cutting off on me time and time again.so what i done was i took the carburetor apart clipped the tip off the little pin that moves up and down to allow the fuel to enter the carburetor and the mower has been running like new and its 13 yrs old now.

i have never changed not one belt nor pulley not even the blades just the filters which is normal. my mower sit in bad weather for quite some time and the rust locked it down so bad that a new battery couldn't roll it over. after sanding down a few crucial parts of the engine it started right up after sitting in bad weather for two years and its still cutting like a champ. i don't know what's going on with the huskees of today but i can tell you that my huskee has never given me any bad serious problems,i guess i must have bought a good one.

NONEK

I purchased a huskee lawn tractor from my grandfather. The mower was made in 2002, has a 42 deck, and a 17.5 hp engine. The mower is a horrible piece of junk. The carburetor always has junk in it and I've had to clean it 14 times now. I always take pristine care of all of my belongings, i even wax the outside! One day of regular mowing, one of the blade spindles broke. Took it to the local repair man and they replaced it. They also said that the carburetor has gunk in it. I had to pay 200$ for parts and labor. (keep in mind I'm 13 years old) I know this mower isn't supposed to be used for 12 yards in a week, but they should build a better product than this. Overall, don't buy a hUskee lawnmower ever!!!!!!!

I bought a Huskee tiller 5 hp the problem with it is the gas tank split in two along the seam and straight up the side and this is the second one Iv'e had to replace at $40.00 this part should not be made of plastic because it can't take the pressure from the gas expanding from the heat definatly a bad design and of course the warrenty ran out after 9o day's.

I purchased a Huskee riding lawnmower in June 2008 and an extend at home service plan since I was departing to Afghanistan. My wife has had nothing but problems with this mower. The muffler is missing, it will not run or engage. There is no local service providers as promised and she gets no cooperation from store reps.

My wife is having to cut the grass by push mower, and I am out $1700.00.

pulleys broke. shaft broke, junk. no warranty, supposed to be three years, paid for it.

purchase a push mower from TSC and with one year it blew the engine and Huskee will not replace it

I spent $219 on the mower in 5/07

As noted in previous complaints, we have had the same issues with this mower as to the pulleys and the loud engine sound. Also, it is a shame to purchase such an expensive mower to find all these problems and to find out that the company you purchased it from don't even carry the parts to fix it with. I have the hardest time trying to find blades to fit our mower. We have returned so many and made so many trips to the different Tractor Supply stores to almost pay for another one.

I purchased a Huskee garden tiller in 2000. It was a 5.5 hp front tine tiller. It was light weight and worked great in our sandy soil. Two years later, it began to kick back when I pulled the starting rope. I took it to my repair man, and he said that the valves were stuck and he couldn't repair it. I went to the Briggs and Stratton service rep in our area. He said the tiller was a throw away and not worth repairin.

I bought another just like it. Two year later, it is doing the same thing. It kicks back to hard that it nearly pulls my shoulder out of joint. I am at a loss, but I like the lightweight,easy plowing tiller, if it would only start properly.

I bought my Huskee Garden Tractor in 1999 and have had a lot of problems every since it was purched. I also bought the tiller attachment and the dozer attachment. Shortly after I got the tractor I was using the dozer and the frame bent. MTD would not repair it I had to pay out of my own pocket. They said that it wasn't ment to be used to push dirt around even if it is loose dirt. I said DA it's called a dozer blade because why. If your not suppose to use it why would you buy it. I have since junked the dozer because it fell apart.

I also had to get the govener repaired and since I got it back it has not rolled over very well when trying to start it It acts like the battery is dead the people that did the repair said that they could not have done anything to cause the problem so they wouldn't fix it under the warranty I Couldn't afford to have it fixed and have not been able to figure out what the problem is to this day I am still having problems with it. Also the mower deck is a pieace of crap I ended up buying a John Deer lawn tractor to mow with and junked the mower deck for the Huskee. I also have problems shifting gears it won't go into drive or sometimes it won't come out of gear and as an added problem I keep having to change the drive belts at least once a year. These machines and not very well built and should be taken off the market. One more thing the tiller is leaking fluid and it doesn't seem to work as well as it should when tilling it stalls out very if I try to till very deep. Now the fluid level stick broke off and fell down inside the fluid tank haven't figured out how to get it out yet.

Had to by a new tractor to do what I bought the huskee for also send $25 to $35 a year for new drive belts not to mention the time it takes to change them they don't make it easy. I also spent a lot of time trying figure out why the starting problem can't be corrected. I changed all the battery cables bought a new battery and switched the starter to see if that was the problem.

I made the mistake of purchasing a Huskee 22 550 series push mower. I have owned a variety of mowers since 1976, and this Huskee is my first and last. The way it is designed allows the blade to hit everything that comes near the mower such as rock, pavement etc., (Please note, I'm not talking about running over rock and pavement; I'm talking about mowing near rock and pavement.) Next, the engine is sluggish, and I don't believe that it is rated correctly regarding horsepower. The bottom line is that it is poorly designed, unsafe, sluggish and was a big waste of money. Although I consider this to be unsafe and a lousy mower, the only damage has been the price of the mower ($170).

On April 16,2007 I purchased A Huskee mower, 46, 19 HP. The deck belt came off the first time I used it. I took it back to Tractor Supply in Russellville, AR. They told me I had caught some foreign object causing the belt belt to come off. No foreign object was found. They put the belt back on and told me it was fixed. I took it home and it happened again. I took it back to Tractor Supply and they admitted they had experienced problems with this model and agreed to take it back and sold me a Huskee Supreme at a higher price. I experienced the same problem with this mower. The factory replaced the damaged belt. I brought it home and it happened again. The manufacturer admitted there was a flaw on the deck.

A kit was installed to take care of the problem. I picked up the mower today 9-21-07 I mowed most of my lawn today and the PTO cable broke. I called the authorized repair people today and they asked me to bring it in for repairs under warranty. I feel this an inferior product. I have 22 hours on the hour meter and this will be the fourth trip for repairs.I have driven 120 miles for repairs and have spent about eight man hours driving, loading and unloading. I Thin this tractor should be replaced or my money refunded.

120 miles travel plus time spent driving, loading and unloading. Also it takes about two weeks for repair. The gass gets out of hand.

I bought a Huskee Supreme 46 inch riding lawn tractor in February of 2007. I have had nothing but problems with the mower (it currently is undergoing the 5th repair since I bought it). The mowing deck is very poorly designed and doesn't look like it was made for the tractor. The mounting brackets actually have a piece cut out of them to let the belt travel through all of the pullies.

I have replaced numerous belts, the front mounting bracket for the deck was installed backwards (from the factory) causing the belts to last 10 hours of use. It is very obvious that everything on the mower is engineered after the fact and that nothing fits exactly as it should. I have replaced the blades (after less than 10 hours of use) as they were made from cast iron and shattered when they hit a rock. I cut my hand badly replacing the blades as there is no mechanism to lock the blades when loosening the nut that holds them in place. The mounts are made of very soft metal and the blades loosen up after a few hours of mowing, causing the entire mower deck to shake violently.

I now have limited use of my left hand due to the sever cut I suffered when changing the blades. I cannot use the tractor for what it was intended and feel that this tractor is too unsafe to use.

I have to purchase a new set of tines that the manufacture even states lifetime warranty on these tines for a similar product. Either I am forced to buy $80 in tines or $300-$400 for a new tiller from a different manufacturer. My time and travel back and forth to the TSC store has probably cost another $200 or more.

We have over $1500 in repair charges and $1700 in the original investment. The mower has never worked long enough to cut the grass.

I have to push mow two acres,and i should not have to.

economically i have to pay someone else to mow the 2 acres. i am a senior citizen retired and i can't afford this.

Bought 23HP, 46 deck Huskee mower in mid-March, 2004. In first week of ownership, alternator would not charge the battery. Tractor Supply gave us a replacement and said that if the problem persisted, we had no recourse but to take it to an authorized warranty repair shop. It didn't fix the problem. The closest authorized repair shop is thirty miles from Corsicana and is two-weeks backlogged.

I just have a major problem paying close to $2,000 for a new mower that doesn't work properly. From the sounds of the posted complaints on Huskee mowers, there's nothing that we can do about it unfortunately.

At this point, we are not far enough in to trying to get some satisfaction from this other than the time and frustration of dealing with having a brand new mower repaired after two weeks of ownership.
