Huskee Reviews

I purchased a Huskee 500 Series push mower two years ago. I 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. It has the same problem each time. As soon as the warranty is over, I will never buy another Huskee. It is a worthless product.

Well, it seems to me that the 23hp mowers are the ones that are 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 did 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 it's 13 years old now. I have never changed not one belt or pulley, not even the blades, just the filters which is normal. My mower sat 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 it's 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.

Pulleys broke. Shaft broke, junk, junk, junk. No warranty, supposed to be three years, paid for it.

In 2004 I bought a 23 hp Huskee Supreme, 46 cut. I have hated this mower ever since I used it the first time. Nothing but problems. I have put new drive belts from engine to mower about every 2 months. I even bought the ones with Kevlar in them thinking they would last longer. There is an extreme angle from engine pulley to mower pulley when mower is lowered to cut on setting 1 & 2. My right front wheel fell off, due to a flimsy cotter pin which wore off and the wheel hub was torn up. Couldn't find a new wheel with a grease fitting, so I bought one without. It had a lot of slop, because the inside hub was shorter and the tire rubbed against the steering stop and ruined the tire. I'm currently putting air in the tire daily. The tire has a thousand small bubble leaks. Now the rear end transmission is shot and I've had it. You won't see me have another Huskee product or another MTD product. I have used for 248 hours of mowing.

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

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 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 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.

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 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.
