ModelYTH21K46 Purchased at ACE Hardware. Mows great, but when turning it digs up the lawn leaving gouges. Clutch replaced twice in 2023. Issue not resolved. Replaced rear end May 2024. August 2024 STILL tearing up the yard when turning. Since then, cannot get any assistance from manufacturer and ACE no longer carries product. Takes twice as long to mow due to having to back up and start new row without turning in order to protect the lawn. Warranty about to expire early this summer and Husqvarna no help whatsoever. 3k is not a small amount for someone 93 years old to invest in a mower. Just want to be able to turn the mower and not tear up the damn yard.

Husqvarna embraces a business practice of charging a customer for products they do not have in inventory, nor do they have any forecast of when they will. When you attempt to cancel your order and receive your refund, you are faced with a customer service machine that has a single goal. Keep your money as long as possible and make it as difficult as possible to get your money back. I am going on over three weeks and still am out of pocket hundreds of dollars. In today's electronic age, if you can charge a credit card in minutes, you can also create a refund. Conclusion, this company has unethical practices or is simply has poor leadership. Either way, consumers are best to steer clear unless you have money to give them for NOTHING.

Have been a very satisfied Husqvarna customer for over 20 years. My most recent purchase (125B Leaf Blower) was a shocking disappointment. Product was hard to start and keep running, performance was below expectation and it died within the first 90 days or less than 10 hours use. Husqvarna denied the warranty claim which I later learned is their new normal procedure. The company instructs you to contact Customer Service and they in turn tell you that they aren't allowed to communicate with their own technical service department. I encourage you to search all recent customer reviews (2024 model year) before purchase. You will find this is very common or the new normal for Husqvarna. They were once unsurpassed for value in the price category. Sadly there are now more comparable to the no-name Chinese products in quality and ethics.

DO NOT BUY HUSQVARNA!!! I bought a blower, model 125b, used the Husqvarna fuel, the piston ring froze to the piston. Husqvarna has refused to honor their warranty and repair or replace the product, claiming that I was at fault. As a 58 yr old veteran I DO NOT RECOMMEND HUSQVARNA!! COMPLETELY TERRIBLE COMPANY, DISHONEST WITH NO WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THEIR EQUIPMENT CAN BE FAULTY!!!

Husqvarna makes really good equipment but as far as their customer service it really sucks. They refer you to a Husqvarna dealership but they can't help out much neither as far as I'm concerned unless, if you know how to maintain your own saws that's the only time to purchase a Husqvarna. Don't depend on dealerships or customer service.

Purchased a $400 gas blower from Lowe's and I can't start it. Note I'm 5'10" and ride horses, I'm not weak. Asked the burly male neighbor next door, he can't get it to start either. The paperwork says not to return to store but call XYZ number and the recording says they're open 9-2 on Saturdays. At 1:30 on a saturday no answer. Called on a weekday, no answer. Finally used their online chat to see where I can return this brand new not working item and she said come back on a weekday. SOME OF US HAVE JOBS! Send me the email confirmation and location to return so I can be done with this disaster. Shame on you Husqvarna, shame on you.

I am writing to express my frustration with Husqvarna's use of substandard vinyl fuel lines in my Husqvarna Rancher 455 chainsaw. These cheap fuel lines led to early failure in my equipment, largely due to the 10% ethanol blend required in Florida gasoline. Unfortunately, the material used in Husqvarna’s fuel lines is not designed to withstand ethanol, a requirement for gasoline sold in Florida, and has resulted in the fuel line degrading far earlier than expected.
This issue affects all Husqvarna equipment sold in Florida unless owners use either ethanol-free gas or Husqvarna's own pre-mixed fuel, which is not always convenient or cost-effective. The situation has become so widespread that local repair shops are now 4 weeks behind on simple chainsaw fuel line repairs due to the sheer number of Husqvarna chainsaws needing this fix.
As a result of this delay, I took it upon myself to tear down and rebuild the fuel system in my Rancher 455, replacing the faulty vinyl lines with Tygon fuel lines, which are ethanol-resistant and better suited to our local fuel. It’s disappointing that a brand like Husqvarna has not addressed this issue, especially given that ethanol-blended fuel is mandated in many states, including Florida. I urge Husqvarna to reconsider the materials used in their equipment sold in regions where ethanol-blended fuel is required, as this premature fuel line failure is an inconvenience to customers and a strain on local repair shops.

Updated on 10/11/2024: Steve Y took ownership of the shortcomings in warranty service support, quickly engaged the dealer and authorized the warranty replacement part to be shipped to my home. It was unpleasant to have to escalate this matter, and I greatly appreciate Steve Y's (with Husqvarna Warranty support team) ownership and quick action. Thank you.
Original Review: As a long-time Husqvarna customer, I’m beyond frustrated with their warranty support service. My initial experience began when my 450X Automower had a wheel motor failure. Despite following all the necessary steps, it took nearly three months of escalations, delays, and miscommunication to finally get my mower fixed. What should have been a simple warranty claim turned into a nightmare, with Husqvarna failing to provide timely or adequate support. Even after repairs were completed, a wheel literally fell off the mower shortly after its return due to poor assembly checks. This entire situation was completely avoidable had they taken the time to ensure the product was properly serviced the first time.
Unfortunately, my current experience has proven that Husqvarna hasn't improved. I’m now dealing with a faulty power transformer, and once again, I’ve been met with unnecessary delays. My dealer has the part ready to ship, yet Husqvarna has failed to authorize the warranty in a timely manner. They initially promised a 24-hour turnaround for approval on October 6, but when I followed up on October 9, they moved the goalposts to 48 hours, still past their SLA.
I’m stuck in limbo, having to chase down customer support yet again. In my most recent call, they blamed voicemail tag between the dealer and themselves, even though both have access to the necessary email thread! Husqvarna’s lack of ownership, accountability, and communication has left me doing all the legwork, just to get what I am owed under warranty. At this point, I’m seriously questioning whether it’s worth purchasing Husqvarna products again, and I’d advise potential customers to proceed with caution. The hassle, delays, and poor handling of claims are unacceptable. Husqvarna, if you value your customers, it’s time to take ownership of these issues and start delivering the support people expect from a brand like yours.

Had my weed eater for 16 mo. Used maybe 10hrs total. Last week the engine locks up. I take it to a certified dealer for warranty and they told me Husqvarna won't issue a warranty because I didn't use enough oil in the premix! It calls for 50:1 and I ran 60:1. I run 10 points over on all my 2-stroke engines. Extra oil for the engine but not enough to foul the plug or clog the carb. Now I'm stuck with a broken machine. How many others out there were told the same thing? They said it had scoring inside. Well... a broken ring or bad rod bearing at the piston could cause that damage too. Glad to know now their customer service is crap and their authorized dealers know nothing. Extremely pi**ed!

I purchased an 8' Edger to go with my Husqvarna power drive. I already have the weed wacker. The power drive has a female adapter. When I tried to attach the edger I discovered it also has a female adapter, so I cannot connect the two. I tried numerous times to call them and all I get is a robot telling me she can solve my problems if I go online. I decided to do a chat and when the robot on that end couldn't answer my question, he stopped chatting. I need to order this edger. I returned the one I purchased to Lowe's and they didn't have any in stock. I want to make sure I'm going to get an edger with a male adapter but since I cannot speak to anyone for assurance, I can't order one. I find this totally unacceptable and I will never buy another Husqvarna product again. Buyer beware!

I was looking for a part for my 220iL Husqvarna Electric Grass Trimmer on the Husqvarna Website. The web site offered a "Chat Box" to help find a part. When attempting to access information on the Husqvarna "Chat Box" I was asked for a credit card number and $5.00 just to access information. I currently have four Husqvarna commercial chainsaws as I was a Tree Feller here in Oregon and bought the Electric Grass Trimmer because of the quality of the chain saws. I am happy with the grass trimmer and the chainsaws however because of my experience with Husqvarna website I will go back to Stihl products. I will no longer purchase ANYTHING from Husqvarna. It appears that Husqvarna has hired people based upon something other than an understanding of how to do business and customer care. Fred, Coos Bay Oregon.

I would give them zero stars if that was a option. I bought a Poulan Pro PR4218 Chainsaw from Tractor Supply on 5 November 2023 due to a sale. Being I live in Kansas not much use for a Chainsaw in the winter so it sat in my garage until 22 March 2024.

When I set the saw down it die. Restarted it and cut a few more branches and again it died as soon as my finger left the throttle/trigger.
Tried to call customer support and come to find out they no longer have phone support only chat. Started a chat session and had a lady that was reading from a script. She said it sounded like a carburetor adjustment issue and I needed to take it to a service center for adjustment. Call closest service center to me which is 20 miles away and she informed me that adjustments are not covered under the warranty and it would cost me $29.95. Started another chat and this person told me that since I took it out of the box it would not be cover. I ask how was I supposed to know it would not stay running if I did not take it out of the box. She replied the store was suppose to tell me that it need adjusted before using. So now store employees are suppose to know everything about all the products on the shelf.
Arther C a representative emailed me with a list of service centers and one no longer services Poulan/Husqvarna because of issues getting warranty work covered, the other said it would be six weeks before they could get to it and the 3rd one was rude and said it would cost me $29.00 to adjust even though it is brand new. It is now Saturday 6 April 2024 and I have no solution to my problem.
Poulan/Husqvarna support is worthless and said if I want a refund I have to take it back to the store I bought it at which is Tractor Supply. Only problem is they have a 30 day return policy so pretty much Poulan/Husqvarna is telling its customers to basically go ** yourself. I will never ever buy anything from Poulan/Husqvarna again and would not take any of the crap for a $1. Worse technical support I have ever had to deal with and in my opinion they do not care about their customers. Pictures show that the Chainsaw was not used or abused.

I had to replace a Husqvarna chainsaw that was lightly used and had a multitude of issues So I recently replaced it with a Husqvarna 440 rancher chainsaw. (I should have learned with the first saw…) As I went to fall a tree that was only 4” in diameter the chain came off. I then had to put it back on just to have it come right back off again while falling two more 4” trees. I used it again to have it once again pop off. I had noticed today that the chain could not glide through the guide on the bar. So I went and bought a new chain. It seems to glide better on the bar. I haven’t used it to see how well it works. But I had to buy a whole new chain.
I’m sort of upset that the saw really decreased my productivity right out of the box. After speaking to the customer service I find out that there is no one to speak to directly to over the phone and it takes 30-45 minutes to hear back from their “Customer messaging Service”.

That one ran fine for a few years and was given away when I moved. Bought a new one and AGAIN, issue after issue, expense after expense. Absolute trash and Husqvarna service is as crooked as they come. Knowingly using inferior parts that wear out quickly while counting on their past reputation to get away with it. DO NOT BUY THE HYPE. They used to be a good quality, reputable company but have put profits ahead of the customer and even though they boast a good warranty, THEY WILL NOT HONOR IT! Do not believe a word they advertise because it will cost you thousands! They are using very poor parts that wear out easily and constantly. SAVE YOURSELF TIME, MONEY AND HEADACHE - DO NOT BUY A HUSQVARNA - EVER!

Purchased a YTH24V54 Husqvarna lawn tractor from Lowe's approximately 4 years ago. I have 163 hours on this equipment and now I'm being told that the transmission is shot and it will cost $1,300 to replace it. I contacted Husqvarna customer service and was told that the tractor warranty has expired. Now I'm left with an almost $3,000 paper weight. Not happy at all with this brand, their customer service, or the quality of their equipment.

The delivery time was on time and no damage, but missing the whole starter kit which included owners manual, 2 ignition keys, hose quick connector for deck washing and oil change tube. after multiple phone calls to Tractor supply customer service and two phone calls to Husqvarna customer service in over 10 days period no one could resolve the issue.

I purchased a Husqvarna riding lawn mower in 2020. I took great care of it. Suddenly wouldn't restart in the middle of mowing, so I brought it to an authorized service dealer. They have told me the engine is seized. This is beyond the warranty period, however well within the "customer is rightfully disappointed with quality of product" period if you ask me.
I was upfront when I commenced the request with the Husqvarna customer service that the product was outside of the warranty period. I interpret from the customer service's response that this is the reason the company is not standing by the product. If this was the case, I wouldn't have wasted my time looking for proof of purchase and everything else the Husqvarna agent requested. So what I've gathered is that Husqvarna sells products with engines that can seize after three years of well-maintained use, and won't stand by their product. I will keep this in mind when purchasing further products, and be certain to let all my friends/family know as well.

I paid $1,181.59 to Mowers Direct, online, on 5/16/2023. Order number **. When it broke the first time I used it, I contacted the seller. They refused to stand behind the $1200 piece of cheap junk they sold me. I have had the opportunity to use this piece of junk 5 times in 3 months. The rest of the time it’s been broken and/or in for warranty service. I have 8 acres to mow. I mow for 30-60 minutes each night after work. I wanted the bagger so my property wouldn’t look like a hay field.
First, it is a generic bagger made in China. Says right on it: “No Brand”.
Assembly: Instructions are for multiple baggers. They don’t tell you which instructions are for which models (they don’t list the models). You will waste considerable time trying to figure out why the instructions won’t work for your mower. I even had to trim a piece of plastic to get it to fit my mower.
Quality: There is none. It’s all cheap, flimsy plastic parts. When I put it together, one piece came apart immediately. Another part has since cracked. A third part has bent to the point it is almost useless now, and soon will need to be replaced. The belt has burnt through twice now, trying to push grass up a clogged chute. The little red wheel that is supposed to spin to indicate grass is moving through the chute doesn’t spin. That’s because the grass isn’t moving.
Operation: I have to stop every few minutes to disconnect the chute and clear grass from it and the blower. Eventually the belt burns through because it’s trying to push grass through a clogged chute.
Support: Non-existent. I’ve been talking to Husqvarna chat online now for 3 months. That’s the only support you can get. After the chat is over you won’t hear from them again unless/until you start a new online chat session.
The mowing season is about over. The bagger is in for warranty service again. We have spent about 6 hours to-date loading and unloading the mower to take it with the bagger for service. This time I just sent the bagger so they could replace the broken parts. When I get it back, I will dutifully hook it up and waste about an hour baby-sitting it until it breaks again. Then I’ll take it back for service. Once that is done, it will sit in the barn until next season when it breaks again as soon as I use it. Can you guess what happens then? Warranty is over. I have the honor of either continuing to pay to repair something I can’t use, or, as Husqvarna so clearly hopes, I’ll just kiss the $1200 goodbye and quietly go away. I am looking for an attorney to file a class action lawsuit, since I see so many people having the same bad experience I have had. Contact me if you would like to be part of the suit. Joel **

Husqvarna advertises a 10 year warranty on their mowing decks for their mowers and garden tractors, however, they refuse to honor this warranty when you submit a valid claim. There was poor weld work done on my mowing deck, and the weld points failed and sheared off the deck. When the Husqvarna Authorized Service Repair center submitted a claim to have the deck repaired, Husqvarna denied the claim without reason. You can search this site and the BBB website and find hundreds of identical complaints against this company for the exact same thing (and the exact same failing weld work).

Bought a Husqvarna riding mower because it had the Kawasaki motor. The mower runs well. I dislike that it is very difficult to get the deck level. I had to take the deck support off the front of the mower and beat one of the two support arms 1/2 inch out of factory setting to level the deck. This mower also has multiple design flaws. I am 6’-4” tall and 225 pounds. I can only exit the mower by standing up and putting my left leg on the ground. The deck height adjustment lever hits my groin. There isn’t enough room between the steering wheel and the seat to turn around while standing on the mower so I have to stretch to put one foot on the ground at a time while facing forward.
The reverse pedal is too close to the forward pedal, often the reverse pedal gets hooked on my shoe and flops backward. The front bumper sticks out too far, you can only get about a foot away from a tree or fence. The gas tank is necked down very close to the top, when I fill the tank gas spews out of the top of the tank. The mower deck is designed to pick up the maximum amount of mown grass possible.
It takes 45 minutes to clean the deck with a scraper with the front of the mower lifted 2 feet in the air with a motor lift. The deck is heavy duty steel that has welds that stop the scraper repeatedly. There is a fence welded around the blades that make it even harder to clean the deck. There are essentially 6 separate sections of the deck to clean. The discharge shoot sticks out too far, also the top of the deck on the right side is cut out exposing a blade. If you try and step off the right side of the mower you can’t stretch far enough to clear the discharge shoot. I will never buy another Husqvarna product the only positives for this mower is the Kawasaki motor and the posi-traction rear axle.

I purchased a used Husqvarna GT48DXLS tractor by private sale last May 2021 with less than 50 hours. The original owner had maintained the unit and it was in excellent condition. I use it for my home only and have also properly maintained the unit and keep it in a shed. This season I noticed the tractor began slipping when going up inclines and brought it to a local dealer to have it looked at. They informed me it is a transmission issue and they reached out to Husqvarna directly on my behalf. They were informed that the unit does not qualify for a warranty because I am not the original owner. So their warranty is completely void. This is unacceptable to me as a consumer.
I contacted Husqvarna directly via chat since I was not able to get a live person to speak to. I explained my problem and told the "chat" person that I felt that it was unfair for them to not honor a warranty based upon change of ownership. The hours were still barely over 100 and the transmission should not be failing at this rate and need replacement.
After it being "expedited" twice, I received the same response. Not under warranty. I will never purchase another Husqvarna product again. I now have to either pay $2,000 for a new transmission or go out and buy another tractor. I have a Sears Craftsman tractor that is over 10 years old that is still running strong and my son is using it at his new home. I am outraged that they use this "convenient policy" to not honor their product that clearly has a defective transmission that they allowed to be installed in their tractor.

I recently bought a Husqvarna MZ 54 that was a left over year old model from a local dealer (not a big box store). Because it was not the current model I picked it up for $4400, which is a real bargain. I looked at all the major brands including John Deere, Gravely, Hustler, Snapper, Toro, ExMark, Cub Cadet, and Ariens. Honestly, they all seemed like quality mowers. I settled on the Husqvarna because of price and features that were only available on more expensive models. In addition, the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty is one of the best.
The cut quality is fantastic. I have a little over an acre of thick, St Augustine grass. My old mower, a Husqvarna YTH24K54 tractor, just couldn't handle it, and it took me about 3 hours to get a satisfactory cut, which usually required a double cut. The ZT made a full 54" single pass perfect cut. My first cut grass was about 7" and there were no stragglers left standing, no clumping, and no windrows. I was able to get the job complete in an hour! The grass was cut even, no scalping, very fine discharge, and even a striped look. Blade speed is listed at 18,500 FPM which is among the fastest of the brands shopped. Some were as low as 16,500 and others upwards of 19,000. Blade speed is a big factor in quality and speed of cut. The seat is quite comfortable. Though not an elaborate suspension, the feel is very nice, and a ride that is not rough. The armrests and high back seat make it a comfortable ride.
The deck is very sturdy and well built. Although some of the other brands had 10 Ga fabricated decks, the Husqvarna is 11 Ga but has a reinforced rim and seems quite stout. One thing I noticed is that when you step on the deck, there is no movement. Other brands, especially the Cub Cadet, moved a great deal. Access to the belts and spindles (for greasing) is simple and requires just removing the foot panel. The spindles are heavy duty cast iron and are greasable, as opposed to sealed. Deck is easily adjustable from 1.5 to 4.5 inches in 1/4 inch increments. The front casters are huge 6x13 which is great on your turf. Caster and front wheel bearings are also greaseable. 22x10 rear tires give great traction and are also kind to your lawn.
There are 4 anti scalp wheels, which is comparable to other brands. The biggest plus is that the Husqvarna has the wheels supported on both sides. Most other brands just have one support arm for each wheel, which makes them much more susceptible to damage if something is hit. ZT 3100 transaxles are heavier duty than most of the mowers in this class and provide a max speed of 8.5 MPH. 5 gallon gas tank is equal to or larger than most in its class. I found I could get about 4 hours of cutting time on a full tank of gas.
The Kawasaki, 24 HP V Twin provides all the power you need for heavy grass and hills. The engine starts easily and quickly and normally needs no choke. Servicing is easy with a simple threaded cap that allows draining the oil with no mess. In addition, for an engine of this size, it is not as loud as others I have looked at. My property does have a fairly large slope and some rougher areas. None of this is a problem for this mower at all. Steering is very responsive, and does take some getting used to. However, with just a bit of practice it is very easy to drive and actually makes grass cutting enjoyable. The ROPS is nice to have, though for me, was not a factor either way. However, having it does make it safer. This is a heavy machine, at 845 lbs, and quite a bit heavy than most other in its class.
There are only a couple of negatives which were not an issue for me. This model does not come with lights, which quite a few of the other makes did. For me, I never cut after dark, so it was a none issue. They do have light kits available if that is something that the buyer needs. Also, the location of the parking brake is very poor, because it is on the left side, which is normally where I get off the mower, and often bump the brake off. For '21 models, this is not an issue because they have the automatic parking brake that engages when you move the steering levers out. It does not come with a hitch for towing, but they are available for about $25 and install easily.
This mower is certainly a prosumer class machine, and would be quite acceptable for commercial use. It was not purchased from a big box store, so it was fully assembled and tested prior to delivery, by technicians that know what they are doing. (It also came with a full tank of gas!) I have read some negative comments regarding Husqvarna machines not purchased from a dealer, and in many cases it seems as if the issues were with assembly, or pre-delivery inspections/adjustments. With a 4 year, bumper to bumper warranty, I feel that shows a confidence in a product's quality. This is a great mower and I highly recommend it.

Bought the YTH18542 riding mower at Lowe's 3 years ago. Nice machine, when it works. Poor traction if the grass is damp going uphill. Probably needs slightly larger, wider rear tires or more weight over them. The real disappointment has been the mechanical problems. After one mowing season the engine wouldn't start. Problem turned out to be the carb solenoid failure, which stopped fuel from going through the carb. Early in the 3rd mowing season, one of the pulleys for the drive (not the blades) had its bearings go bad. Bought a new pulley but the carriage bolt which secures it to the underside of the frame is loose so the nut can't be tightened enough. I would not recommend this machine if you value reliability.

The new Husqvarna made it to 5 hours before the transmission quit. Into the shop where the owners told me they didn't know if the company would honor the warranty because I didn't purchase it. So I loaded up, took it back to Lowe's where I got one run around after another until I was told it was older than 30 days. I said it only had 5 hrs on it but they refused a refund or a trade.
Back to the shop which had it for almost a month before repairs were complete. Warranty did cover tranny replacement. 10 hours in the Solenoid had to be replaced. 25 hours in and all three spindles had to be replaced. Not worth the hassle to try warranty. I'm at 125 hours and one of the pulleys failed to the point the bearings were falling out of it. Husqvarna is hard to get ahold of, hard to work with and want everything done in paper. I'll never own another Husqvarna product, period! And I never shop at that big box store either.

I feel great on my Husqvarna lawn mower. It makes mowing more likely to look forward to rather than dread. I like how it feels to drive rather than it shaking you as you ride. It takes me only two days to mow at least 2 acres around my house.

I purchased a Husqvarna 54 in cut with 24 hp Kawasaki engine only to find out after needing some repair work it has a 23 hp Kawasaki engine. It was explained that Husqvarna buys the engines from Kawasaki and installs them at one of their plants. Now I am having issues with gas bleeding through the exhaust pipe which at one point it appears there was a recall on this type of issue with a part on the engine. So the store I bought it from told me to contact Husqvarna who told me to contact Kawasaki who says it is out of warranty?? After this experience I will not be purchasing or recommending to purchase Husqvarna products in the future.

Bought new May 2020. First off I picked up mower only to hear constant squeaking noises while using it. Turns out place I got it never greased anything! Front wheels had no grease and even better... they have no bearings at ALL! Sleeve in wheel center just rides on axle! What a joke! Next all steering also makes constant noise! Same deal...metal to metal... no bushings! Gas gauge is a joke... piece of cloudy plastic 1/2" by 3/4" on front of tank... can't see it... to cloudy.
Next is shift lever... on left side... same side you get off and on... catches your pants EVERY time you get on or off!!! I finally band sawed 3+ inches off off it, now just catches your pants every 3rd time. Cuts leaving missed grass in 2 narrow areas making you double cut everything! Seat has cracks/tears and only 61 hours use! Never buy any products from these people!!!!

I purchased the riding mower last year. Overall it is a decent piece of equipment. One area of concern are the rear tires. It seems every time I go to mow, my tires spin on flat surfaces. Sometimes it is wet, but happens just as much on dry grass. I sent a letter to customer service asking for a solution because it is ruining my grass from the constant spinning of the wheels. I was sent an email within a day that someone would reach out to me within a few days and was given a claim number. Three weeks later, after no response, I sent a second email with the assigned claim number that was given to me initially. Well, it has been another two weeks and nothing. I'm not asking for anything but suggestions. The tires that came with the mower are horrible. I never had any issues with any other mowers that I have used. If I don't get some response I will take other avenues to voice my displeasure.

This tractor is a beast when it comes to cutting and collecting grass with a clear cut 48 inch mower and high capacity grass catcher. And with a 48 inch dozer blade in the winter time it can’t be stopped plowing snow, and gravel in the spring and summertime. Well built, and was made for tough work around the yard for sure. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a garden tractor with plenty of power and eager to get the work done. A very comfortable seat I might add as well. A real pleasure to use, I always look forward to the day when I have to get on and work with it. A REAL good buy and well worth the money.

Bought a 42" riding mower to replace my 12 year old Craftsman 42". The Husqvarna seemed to be stonger steel body and deck. Deck is claimed to be "armored" and guaranteed 10 years. This spring I did my first cut and was hosing it off and under the deflector chute the deck was tearing. Honestly the same thing happened to the Craftsman but after 10 years of use. I had to pay to have it brought to a dealer to inspect for warranty coverage (photos from me would not suffice). Dealer said I can't put in for warranty defect your blade obviously hit and tore the deck. I asked him to weld it which he did.
Question is: under normal use when we all hit the rock or stick or whatever should we expect the deck to tear. Why not armor the edge of the chute like you do the edge around the base of the deck?? How does a deck fail in 10 years to be covered by the warranty? Rust? I should also warn possible buyers that the center of gravity on Husqvarna's is much higher than my Craftsman---meaning it will tip over on a grade where the Craftsman kept steady. So be careful if you feel the grade bringing you to a tipping point.

Fine threads in the oil hole but very coarse threads on cap - Result is Oil leakage when operating. Kohler has other engines with a oil filler tube assembly that provides a tight seal. This engine on this mower was made to Husqvarna specs. It appears Husqvarna eliminated the more expensive oil tube assembly to increase their profit. This is the LAST Husqvarna product I will buy.

I purchased a Riding Lawn Mower from Lowe's in August 2019. Each time I try to start the mower it has been an issue which has gotten worse. The lawnmower was run 2 or 3 times before the winter. A friend came over to cut my grass the end of March. The lawnmower cut off and would not re-start. After sitting a few days and a few tries it finally started. During the month of April it has been a chore to get it started and sometimes I have to sit and wait until it wants to get started. There is a smoke coming out of the motor. In the month of April I have replaced the battery and put oil in it. The beginning of April the mower registered 4.8 hours, the end of April it is on 7 hours. A majority of this time is sitting and waiting for it to start!
Of course Lowe's does NOT want to help! I called Husqvarna several times they DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE! I spoke with a Husqvarna Dealer in the area, who informed me Husqvarna says they will NOT be honoring their warranty and I have to pay a trip ticket fee and for it to be picked up. I have attempted in good faith to contact Lowe's, Husqvarna and an authorized Husq. Dealer. Husqvarna is blaming me for putting too much oil in the mower causing it to smoke, even though it was smoking before I put oil in it and NO one has looked at it yet! You have chosen not to fix your lawnmower that is a lemon! Consumer Affairs give me what options I have. Thank you.

The property was flat with no major bumps, etc. The next year, a piece that engages the deck broke. It was covered by my extended warranty so it was fixed. My third year into the mower is when I started to have problems. The spindles broke a least 1x each mowing season. The pulley wore out. The deck broke where it attaches to the frame and I had to have it welded back in two spots. The next year the deck began to split apart horizontally on once side and vertical on the other and I had to replace the spindles again.

I purchased this mower in May and in October it stopped working. it had been pretty solid until then with the one exception that the self propelled drive belt kept coming off and I had to remove the pulley and re-thread the belt each time. After it failed in October (wouldn't start) I took it in for service and they told me the oil was low and the motor had burned up. I had checked a few times over the Summer but had not been checking religiously with each use.
After considering it a bit I think I know what happened. I had to tip the mower each time I fixed the belt and I'm guessing the last time oil must have leaked out the air filter or into the cylinder. It never occurred to me to check the oil again after putting the belt back into the pulley. Long story short the warranty tech looked at it and said it's user error for running the unit low on oil so it's a total loss. Kiss that 400 bucks goodbye. I can see their argument but I'm pretty unhappy that tipping the mower to fix the belt that kept jumping off resulted in trashing the motor. Anyway, I'm off Husqvarna for life. I replaced it with a Toro and I'm getting ready to buy a snowblower - a Craftsman.

I researched all brands and bought this one even though I was skeptical after seeing the tractor in person. It was a plastic piece of junk. It scalped the grass even though the deck was leveled at the dealer twice. Uneven cut and forget about going around a corner on a slight angle. One side was cut down to the dirt while the other side was 3 inches high.
I tried everything and still good. Putting the deck lift handle on the left side is ok if you are left handed but It was impossible to raise while moving with my not dominate left hand. No power steering was another mistake that I made. I actually sprained my wrist trying to make a close turn and I am 6ft. 230 lbs. I paid for the mulching kit but it threw so much grass up over the top of the tractor I had to take off the mulching plus and use it with no diffuser. The dealer was very co-operative but after having the tractor for only 3 days I paid a 10% restocking fee and that along with losing the sales tax cost me nearly $600.00.

Husqvarna refused to properly fix my mower citing that I must have towed something that it was not designed for, which is incorrect. After several phone calls they agreed to "gift" a repair kit but told me I would be responsible for the labor.
The "repair" has not worked. I attempted to follow up with Husqvarna corporate and have been completely ignored. They used a clause of the warranty to deny my claim and did so with absolutely no evidence that I had misused my mower. They had cited that they could tell that I had a 2" tow ball on the back of the mower. I don't even own a tow ball.

Hence the interface material suffers. You can tighten them as much as you want but the parts still wear out. $$$$$$$$$ 1. The material used in the drive spindle spline is very strong and the pulley material is very soft, hence it easily wears out. Same with the bottom of the drive spindle where the bottom star is soft material and the blade is very STRONG, hence the spindle wears out quickly. $$$$$$$$ 2. ZERO customer support.

Bought a Husqvarna YTH24V54V lawn tractor on 8/6/18 at Lowe's and a 3 yr extended warranty. $2450 +tax. Before this winter in TN, which is around end of Nov. I winterized it like I have winterized all my outdoor equip for the past 30+ yrs living in upstate NY where the winters are about 3 months longer and much colder. Added stabil to gas in the mowers tank and gas in can. Ran engine long enough to make it to the carb. Why B&S does not install a shutoff valve in the system is beyond me?
On 4/18 I decided to cut the grass for the first time this season. Started tractor with no problems and it ran as normal for about 2 mins on the driveway. Drove it to the grass engaged the deck and made it about 6' then stalled. Tried to start and it would not. Pushed back onto the driveway and continued to try and start. If I let it sit for a couple of mins it would start and run although not normal. Called it a day. It rained for two days so I did not look at it. When I did try to start it again. It ran for 15 20 secs but blowing white smoke. Did start it numerous times trying to figure out why the white smoke. Then I noticed it was also blowing oil and gas out of the exhaust! Ok check the gas tank which did have over a gallon in it now had 1/2 in. The crank case was full of diluted oil and gas. The first thing I thought of was the engine is probably now toast. The second thing was call Lowe's and have it taken in for service.
It took 5 days before they found a servicer to pick it up for repair. I did some internet investigation and found out it was most likely the carb and it seems B&S engines are the only ones to drain the gas into the oil. I also decided to dump the crankcase and change the filter. While the oil filter is draining in the catch pan I notice very file metallic shavings in the diluted stream. GREAT!!
The Lowe's warranty rep calls me on Tuesday that's (7 days with no mower). 1st call: Informs me that the servicer diagnosis was the carburetor is bad! And it's not covered in the warranty. (My mistake and I wont ever let it happen again). I was a little dumbfounded as to why it wasn't but I was more concerned on getting it back. So then I am informed if you want him to do the job it will be 45 for diagnosis and the cost of the carb replacement. (Except she forgot to get that info.) Also informs me that the carb is on back order and the servicer has another mower waiting for one. (OK that raises 2 red flags for me.) Ok ,she will call back with the total and I'll go read the warranty under Owners Warranty Responsibilities.
(Here is the part where they void their warranty) "As the engine/equipment owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty coverage if your equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, IMPROPER MAINTENANCE, or unapproved modifications." So adding Stabil to the fuel before winter is improper maintenance? Who Knew!!
2nd phone call - The price for the carb and the diagnostics is $368. Ok they can do it. Now I ask her "Why is the carb not covered? You would think it is since it's a main part". Oh they said it was not covered because it's a maintenance issue' Oh! Surprise! I asked, "Is there a eta on when the carbs will be available?" "No idea what so ever." Greaaat. So it seems maintenance issues have been taking out a lot of carbs since they can't keep them in stock? Why can't a "dirty" carb be repaired? Can a little (gas and fuel stabilizer) varnish making the float stick destroy the carb? B&S builds inferior carbs and pushes their failures off on their customers.

I purchased a brand new Husqvarna MZT 61. When I got it home, I got used to the controls for about 10 minutes and started to cut. The mower was cutting nicely and then abruptly the blades disengaged and smoke was coming from under and behind. The clutch completely failed. The dealer had a loaner for me to use. Not sure how often this happens but very inconvenient and trust is shot. Waiting for the part. Should I demand a new mower? Has anyone else had the same problem? What was the outcome? Hopefully not years of more problems.

My experience worse a disaster from day one: The first year/year and a half entered the shop 6 or 7 times for different reasons. One time the people at the shop were surprised to find out that the clutch was gone, they said it was very rare. I had a John Deere 15 yrs old, and I never knew there was a clutch in these machines. Everything that could break got broken. I am taking it tomorrow again because the belt broke for the second time. Changing the oil is the messiest job you can do, and the deck does not raise high enough, so it cuts so short that the Florida sun burns the grass immediately. On top of that I spent $300.00 in attachments (what the hell was I thinking??!!) that I used only a few times because the chute was getting clogged. It is hard to believe that there was any engineer involved in this product.
My John Deere started giving me problems at the end and I sold it. I don't want to sell this one because I FEEL I AM DEFRAUDING PEOPLE. This machine may be great in Canada, or to ride with the grand kids at 6 mph, but certainly useless to mow the grass... unless you don't care about destroying your lawn. I WISH I HAD READ REVIEWS BEFORE I SPENT 2,000.00 IN THIS PIECE OF METAL. By the way: The customer service people are very nice because they are so used to complaints but do not solve absolutely anything. 40' on the phone to be transferred yesterday to the "escalation" department, they apologized saying that the "escalation" department was very busy. Well... I believe that!

The mower deck has never been level and will scalp the lawn at a 2.5" setting. The dealer will not or can't get it level. The engine is always hard starting and has had 3 batteries in 3 years despite being garaged and a battery tender being placed on it. I don't feel that Husqvarna screens their dealers or checks on the service quality before their machines leave the factory. $3200 for a lemon.

A year after I had my Sears 26/54 it also would not drive uphills but was OK straight ground. The issue is a bad main drive belt-it shows no sign of wear but either stretches some or gets slick. Changed belt problem fixed. As for toe out all Sears and Husqvarna have some of this issue and nothing seems to be out of spec or bent.
Fix is to set right wheel straight ahead go to left drag link and cut it about in the center. Now move left wheel to straight position matching the right wheel straight forward position. Then go down to left drag link and overlap both ends. Mark the excess length then cut off. Get a steel angle iron or scrap put it under both cut sections. Clamp with vice grips on angle bracket and each end of link. Have angle bracket welded to both ends of link and Voila. Away you go after replacement. Be careful. Weld will be hot. Saw this done to an older Deere and said I have the same problem on a tight turn mower should work and it does.

3 trans in 3 years. Bought our new mower in 2016. We have less than an acre and only cut once a week during the season. We are now on our 3rd transmission and Husqvarna will not acknowledge that there is a problem with this, OR a recall. The honest repair manager at the dealership told me they are fixing a lot of these for this reason. He also told his boss that they should not sell this as they are not built well. There are plastic parts where there should be metal, which is one of the problems. If you are thinking about buying one, don't. If you are still going to get one, the first time you hear a grinding noise in back, take it in and hope that will be in the 12 month warranty, otherwise you're screwed.

I bought this to replace an old Craftsman riding mower that had served me well. This model has essentially the same body as the Craftsman so I was able to look at the old Craftsman to see why the Husqvarna was so low to the ground. The Husqvarna body is directly bolted to the rear axle while the Craftsman has a bracket that lifts the body about an inch above the rear axle. Because of this, the mower deck on the Husqvarna can't be properly adjusted. Also, when I use it to pull a broadcast spreader, the spreader is tipped forward too much and the mover deck is dragged through the grass the whole time. I've since found many reports of this problem. Too bad I hadn't seen these reports before I bought it earlier this year.

I bought a new garden tractor/riding mower from Husqvarna via Amazon in March 2017. Within two months it would not go into reverse. I used it as is so I could care for the 10-acre garden/lawn/orchard/vineyard I maintain until the damn thing blew up, scattering parts everywhere. It was the transmission and the clutch. Under warranty. Called Husqvarna to find a local dealer for service (I live in an extremely remote area of the US) and was referred to one some miles away who refused to service my tractor because I had not bought it from him. Called Husqvarna to report this and to see what else I could do. Turns out there was a dealer in the town closest to me, which they had failed to mention first time. It sat in the shop for weeks as we waited for parts and/or argued with Husqvarna about the warranty.
Finally got it back and guess what? Two months later the transmission did the same thing: No reverse and then no forward either. It has been in the shop for weeks while we wait for parts that are "back ordered" or whatever is the most recent excuse. In short, out of the 17 months that I have had ownership of this equipment, I have had only 4 months of full service. I have had three garden tractors over the years and never had these kinds of problems. I will never, ever buy a Husqvarna again and would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Not only is the product inferior (plastic parts in a transmission?!) but the customer service is terrible. Perhaps I have a lemon (that can happen) but I will never take a chance like this again - and it cost twice what I am accustomed to paying! In truth, I'd just like my money back so I can buy something that performs. And I have any number of witnesses to this so Husqvarna cannot dispute my claims.

When I took it in the second time, for the same problem, during that trip to the dealer I was told that I had an additional problem of the clutch being bad and would be going out. Fortunately this problem, as well as the idler pulley (which was also going out) were still covered under the factory warranty. I picked up the garden tractor yesterday, after it had been in the shop for 24 days, I brought it home and everything seemed to be working fine. I mowed for approximately 1 hour and brought it to the garage to add fuel. After refueling the mower would not start, it fired slowly and then would die. I called the dealer and he told me to bring it in again.
Each time I take it to them it costs me $65 to rent a trailer for the round trip. Each time they have the mower they have kept it for at least 18 days. I spend a lot of money on this mower, over $3,400, and I expected a quality piece of equipment, it has been anything but a quality machine. Each dealer in my area, that I have spoken to, has told me that they stopped being a dealer and no longer carry Husqvarna parts. They said that the reason for no longer being a dealer has to with the quality of the machines and the fact that it takes them so long to get replacement parts, they report wait times of 6 weeks and sometimes even longer - they are getting tired of getting complaints from their customers. Although I have approximately 135 hours on the mower and I have had it for about 1 1/2 years, I am going to see what it will take to return it and to get my money back.

They have been paying the repair shop's bill though. It is a very feeble machine, I have 0.5 acre to mow q. 15 days in FL. This are the major problems their mowers have:
Deck does not go high so you have to mow very short which kills the grass in FL. Low deck allows for clogging of the grass stopping the machine (had to remove the collection system I bought for $ 300.00). Low deck causes belts to slide off (happened twice), and probably broke the clutch once. Changing the oil, which I have done 3x already is a sure mess.

Lowe’s warranty is completely worthless. If they do anything at all it will be blame you for the damage, then charge you for the repairs that don’t even fix the problem.
Husqvarna is no better, when I’ve given up on trying to have my equipment fixed again I asked to just get my money back for the garbage they sold me. Then they reply to me that they will only fix it and that’s if they feel that the damage is due to something that they deem under warranty! Wtf!? Really? I paid for an extra warranty that Lowe’s won’t uphold because it’s under Husqvarna’s warranty so Lowe’s isn’t responsible, and then Husqvarna’s warranty is that they will only fix what they feel like fixing if they feel like doing anything? Don’t bother with Husqvarna. Every piece of their equipment I’ve purchased has given me trouble and if you do definitely do not waste your money on the extended warranty at Lowe’s. It’s worse than the garbage you just paid for!

Mower (Poulan Pro front wheel drive) arrived new in box. The front wheel drive wouldn’t engage and the height adjustment kept dropping down. After 1 hour of use the machine completely seized up. Husqvarna refused to honor the warranty stating severe abuse of machine. Screws on the undercarriage became loose and fell off causing it to hit against the blade. Amazon has stopped selling this model due to the same complaints and issues. I tried posting a review on their website and they took it down stating irrelevant content. That’s why their rating seem high when in fact their product is rated very low and many people have complained about the same issues. Stay away!!!

I purchased this mower (Husqvarna PZT-60 PROF GRADE MOWER) new. It now has just under 50 hours! In that time both hydro units have fallen apart; the last time it threw me into my dump truck! I was injured during the incident and the mower was picked up Oct last year and returned! Six months later no resolve with the mower. I call Christine, after the killer car! They turn the matter over to CORVEL, a third party administrator! No intervention. The man from CORVEL DAVON ** WILL NOT RETURN MY CALL! The incident number is **! The mower is absolute trash. It is underpowered and lacks torque to mow hills. It drops hydro parts faster than it does grass! What warranty one might as well pay high dollar for a pile of scrap metal! One difference the pile of metal will not hurt me like the mower did!

This mower never starts after storage. I've tried to get assistance from Husqvarna but they are out to lunch. I've had over 14 mowers and this is the first one with this problem. I've used the mower less than 6 hours, terrible product. It is the LC 121 with B&S 163cc engine.

My John Deere GT 275 finally gave out after 15 years of reliable service. I was intending to buy the current equivalent until I saw the price. Decided to try Husqvarna GT52XLS Riding Mower - never had a Husqvarna product up until this point. Spent $3200 on the machine. First few mows it was great! Within the first 6 weeks I had it back to the shop - trouble starting/running. Within the first 6 months I had it back in the shop two more times for broken parts (I only mow my lawn grass with this machine - I have JD tractor/brush-hog for pastures).
3.5 years later, I have spent over $1500 in repairs (not including regular maintenance) and am taking it into the shop this morning for them to try to figure out why it hardly moves forward or backwards. If I had known than what I know now I would have never bought Husqvarna - and never will again. The dealer told me on my last visit the deck on their machines is much better than the JD - WHAT GOOD IS THAT WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND THE DECK IS JUNK??? Their products are very poor quality and I will not only never buy Husqvarna again, but will make sure anyone I talk to about tools and machines knows what a terrible experience I have had with Husqvarna. BEWARE!

I was looking for a Chainsaw for my Wife. I choose Husqvarna. I found a 240 series 38.2 2 stroke motor. It was light, looked to be user friendly and really nice to look at. Before trying to start it I read the manual, gassed and oiled it up. I went to pull start it and it acted like the motor was locked up. I checked the chain break and it was off. We had a family emergency and I was not able to look at it for several weeks. I tried again to start it and it was so hard to pull. I then called the company called Innovations and told them my problem. They looked me up in their computer and found me. They did at that time let me know that it was not under warranty! I have only owned it for a few months I said, she told it has a 90 day warranty!
I missed it on the paperwork that was sent with the saw. I then was stuck either taking it to the shop in Town or work on it myself. First thing on this saw I noticed three adjustment holes on the left side of the plastic cover. Husqvarna told me that the carb cannot be adjusted by the consumer and that I need a special tool that refuse to sell me! I then learned that it can be adjusted with a Bic pen with the ink inners removed. Armed with my pen and tearing this thing apart so I can get it freed up I finally got this thing to run and idle! This saw just ran rough and when I turned it off it was back to hard to pull! After working on freeing this thing up again, I got it to start and run. Well it stopped on its own and would not restart!
After troubled shooting this thing again, I found a fouled Champion plug! I drove over to John Deere to buy a new plug. After I bought and paid for the plug I walked over to the saws. I found a Sthil saw on sale for almost the same price as the Husqvarna. So I bought it! The sales person that I have dealt with for years stated that that Husqvarna is not a Husqvarna, it's a Sears Chainsaw!... Huh? I would if been better to buy one at Harbor Freight! This my experience with the Husqvarna 240 38.2 14 inch bar saw. The only thing I can say is if I would of known what I found out the hard way I would say to anyone that comes in contact with this saw is... RUN FORREST RUN!

In October 2016 I purchased a Husqvarna 125BVX Leaf Blower from Lowe's. After 13 months of use it refused to start. I replaced the spark plug and still no start. I checked the compression with my thumb over the plug hole while pulling the rope and thought it was low. I took it to my local Husqvarna repair shop and was told in fact the blower had 55 lbs of compression, about half what it was supposed to. It has a two year warranty but was told that since I didn't purchase it there they would have to disassemble the blower and send pictures to Husqvarna to see if they would repair it under warranty. If they did I would have to pay for the repairs and file a claim with the company to get re-reimbursed. I thanked them and took the blower with me.
I then took it to Lowe's and they sent it to their authorized repair center. The center called after about a week and informed me that the blower had been operated with improper lubrication and with water in the fuel mix. Both things I knew to be incorrect. They told me it would cost me $207.00 to replace the piston and rings and rebuild the carburetor. I told them I could replace it cheaper than that just send it back unrepaired. I went to pick it up and was presented with a $61.00 bill for diagnosis.
I told them to just keep the blower for the fee and they couldn't do that. Lowe's marked the fee off and gave me the blower back. It has no evidence of being disassembled. I contacted Husqvarna customer service and they stood behind the incorrect diagnosis, and said they were sorry. So now I have replaced it with another brand. I wouldn't recommend buying anything with the Husqvarna name on it. It seems that they will come up with any kind of lame excuse to refuse to do warranty repairs.

I bought this Husqvarna LTD2243 ride on mower brand new from the local dealer. It had a few hiccups at the start. The solenoid that opens to allow the fuel to flow into the carby was defective. It was replaced with a new part obtained from the dealer. It then started much better when needed. The engine, a two cylinder B & S works perfectly with heaps of power. The worst part is that the steering is atrocious in the "N" degree. The steering assembly has no way to adjust the toe in or toe out. The only way to fix the steering is to take the mower to the dealer and have new parts fitted. I was told that the problem occurs from running into rocks, logs, posts or trees. Apparently, hitting things bends some mysterious part that only the dealer can repair by replacing most of the steering suspension assembly.
It all came to halt when the steering was so pathetic that when one wheel was aligned in a straightforward position, the opposite wheel was turned out 3 INCHES! Steering was impossible. The mower was also four months out of warranty. I parked the mower in the garage and studied the situation for a long time. There is no tie-rod joining the king-pins and any adjustment was impossible. The king-pins could not be altered in any way at all. The steering is performed by two rods that are fastened to the king-pins and a quadrant plate. It is impossible to remove these rods without removing most of the assembly underneath the steering column. This in itself is a pain of a job.
After studying the bars for sometime I cut them in half with an angle grinder using a 1mm wide cut-off disc. The front half, about ten inches long, was then removed from the king-pins. These bars are made from .625 inch diameter steel (16 mm dia.) I cut two pieces of 30 mm dia steel, 75 mm long. A 5/8 dia hole was drilled thru the steel but offset 5 mm to form a thicker section to fit two set screws into the ends. The steering bars were reassembled with the new sleeves, the wheels set up with 5 mm toe-in to check for working and alignment. I set off with the mower and the steering was not just perfect, it was better than when it was brand new. For some reason I have yet to discover, I had to cut an extra 22 mm off one of the bars.
Through all this trauma, one wheel rim had split and was replaced under warranty. I read that the rims will split when the toe-in is grossly out of alignment. I have to fit two front new tires as they no longer have enough tread and are very vulnerable to being punctured. The steering can now be adjusted very easily if required but it still has problems on full lock. It works to my full satisfaction but I was only able to modify the steering rods because I have a metal lathe in my garage.
I am a Toolmaker/Machinist by trade and I am a top grade mechanical grade engineer with many years of experience both in Australia and the US. This is one machine I highly recommend NOT to buy! It also has great difficulty in cutting long grass more than four inches high. Long grass needs to cut by reversing two or three times over the same strip to get the grass down to size. The cutting deck is fabricated and is very strong but it rattles and bangs non-stop. I have yet to find a way to stop this happening. In short, have nothing to do with this mower!

I bought the Husqvarna Brand 125B leaf blower thinking I was buying quality, but I was awakened by the fact that this company doesn't stand by their product, and that the leaf blower I bought is pure junk. I used it 4 times for my small yard, at periods of less than 10 minutes each time (estimated), and the blower stopped functioning. I tried to return it to Home Depot, but it was past their 90 day return policy. Home Depot recommend I take the blower to my nearest dealer, which I did, but, they were 12 weeks out. Meaning they couldn't work on it until then.
So, my dealer told me to call Husqvarna to see if they could return it. Husqvarna said no, but they could recommend another repair shop about 50 miles away. I will never ever buy anything from this company again. The dealer happens to be a small local outfit which cannot keep up the demand of bad product from Husqvarna. This is what they told me, and after buying this piece of crap, I believe them. I recommend buying another brand!

I bought a brand new chainsaw Husky Model 240. Short chain aside. It only worked once. I have checked the plug, rinsed with gas the gas tank, added new fuel and nothing. I hate it and I want my money back, it's junk! All my other gas engine out workhorses are Stihl and they are going strong after 18+ years of service. If Husky would return my money, I would never look back. It is true the Husky is being produced in the Poulan factory, by me it is. One door sends out orange. The other door sends out green. Essentially you are paying for a Husky and getting bottom of the barrel Poulan chainsaws. I saw the plant doing this personally.

Bought this lawn mower about 5 months ago. Used it maybe 3x. August 2017 mower started clunking. Stopped using mower immediately. Called Husqvarna. They told me take it to a dealer. I took it, was told by serviceman that his mechanic was out and it would take 3 weeks to even look at it. Everything was fine except for clunk. I started the mower in the office of the dealer. No smoke and motor was working fine except for clunk when you start it. After 3 weeks I was told to call Husqvarna and that I was running the mower with no oil. Impossible. We had put the oil that came in the box. Before we even took it for service we checked the oil and it was perfect and the service guy told me he had to find somebody to look at it because his mechanic was sick.
Called Husqvarna and told them all this, was told that they can't do anything because it was my fault. I explained how could it be if I only used it 3x. She asked if motor was smoking. Told her no when I took it for service the guy told me to start the mower indoors. I did. Started right up. No smoke. Told them I will never buy a Husqvarna anything or a Briggs and Stratton. I have never had so much problems with a mower. So I picked up my mower from the authorized service, started it up at the place and it started. I took it home, tried to start it up, blew up and won't start again. Horrible company and product, now I am out $400.00 and I have to buy a new mower on top of this.

I have or I should say had a Rider Model # YTH23V48. I bought it in Butler, MO 64730, from Young sales and repair. I bought it off of the showroom floor and paid more than I thought it was worth. I was dissatisfied from day one. It didn't have half of the deck clearance I was use to and it didn't serve my needs well at all. Previously I owned a Sears Craftsman mower, which was smaller horsepower and cutting width. That mower was ten times the Husqvarna was. It had twice the deck clearance and ran well for well over 14 years. When I went to get it repaired, I was offered to look over the New mowers at Young's sales and service. I did not trade my craftsman in and left it there for repair and after several inquiries and two years later, I found that it was sold out from under me.
Needless to say, I forced him to pay me for it. Bottom line is, after owning the Husqvarna for less than 3 years I am still paying for it and it now has a blown engine or so I have been told by Extreme Motors, the new Dealer in Butler, MO. Guess what? Their service was not any better. I have had it in there for a simple blown fuse and $400.00 later it had the wrong ignition put in, with no safety features anymore and they cut my headlight wires to stop the blown fuse problem. I gave them a piece of my mind just like I had given Young's Sales. May I suggest that you make a better mow, along the lines of Craftsman or John Deere and do not let an unskilled shop operate in Butler furthermore. I am totally done with any Husqvarna product from here on and am seriously considering suing the company.
That mower was a piece of junk from the start! I would also like to add that all I have is the card last four on which I am still paying ** and model number # Model # YTH23V48. I believe this company should reimburse each and every customer for whatever Husqvarna product they were unlucky enough to purchase. Absolutely terrible products and even worse service!

Husqvarna 700H 22" Self-Powered Mower: Just a word of warning -- in my 63 years, this is the very worst mower that I have ever used -- ever. It was also the most expensive mower I've owned. Bought it at Lowe's this spring. It has no power. The "mulching" component magically SUSPENDS the cut grass inside the mower housing until the blade gets choked by too much compressed grass, and the entire mower is forcibly shut off. So very frustrating. The only way to restart the mower is to dislodge the enormous amount of compressed grass -- leaving a mountain of unsightly clods on top of your yard. No, the grass doesn't need to be wet or damp for this to happen. Heaven help you if your grass *is* a tad damp. This mower (Husqvarna 700H) simply cannot handle it. I'm a nice person; in fact, this is the first negative review that I've ever written. I've just had enough. This review is completely honest, I have not exaggerated in any way.

My wife spent over 2 hours on the phone waiting on customer service finally talking to a rep who took forever to tell her to take it back to Lowe’s. She was directed to call the local store and arrange for them to come out and fix the problem. However, when she called the local customer service she was told they wouldn't send anyone out but they would pick it up for a fee. She asked if we could bring it instead. They said yes, but before closing. Therefore, we borrowed a truck to take it back to the Knoxville Lowe’s, 210 N. Peters Rd. 37923. It was over 25 miles one way. When we got there and unloaded it they took it into the store. My wife went in to get papers saying we delivered it as instructed.
She was then told we would have to take it to another place. She told them we were instructed to bring it there and was not interested and now moving it to another location. She was then told she would have to sign a paper stating we would be responsible to pay them up to $300.00 for resolving the problem. Less than 3 months old with a 1 year warranty and now Lowe’s is trying to Stick us with a bill for what they told us to do with no mention on the phone by either reps about any fees. Was this a bait and switch like scam? I believe it was! My wife told the original rep we wanted our money back and he told her to take have it picked up.
The second rep looked the first rep’s information and then demanded my wife sign the paper described above. My wife came out to the truck and informed me of the changes they demanded, either take to Anderson Site or sign the note saying we would pay them. I told her to get in truck and we left. We were supposed to get our money back and then switched to paying for them to check it out. RIDICULOUS!!!

Cut grass ONCE, and the very next time I try to use the mower again, it has the EXACT same problem: smoking and will not proceed forward or backward.

Rep says he can't issue a refund or a new mower, that I have to go through the distributor again. Meanwhile, it rains every day and I will have to pay someone twice as much to cut this high grass.
