Husqvarna Reviews

I bought the 55R21HVD mower because my daughter wanted to make money cutting the lawn, and my Honda that I am using again is not self-propelled. The Honda is 18 years old and has only been in the shop for routine maintenance. My daughter was complaining about how hard it was to use the mower. The self-propelled would not disengage when pulling the mower backwards. You have to lift the rear wheels off the ground, engage, and then disengage the drive unit to get the system to release. The knobs fell off; the clipping bag falls off. The wheel height will not stay in place so the deck drops down and scalps the grass. It was still under warranty so I took it 30 miles down the road to get it repaired, and the first time she used it nothing had been fixed.

The deck won't move up and down on my yard. It gets stuck every time the ground is a bit higher than the rest.

Mower is one year old with 31 hours on it. It will not cut smoothly, and it only has one wheel pulling and it has 23 horsepower but my old MTD mower with 12 horsepower was a better mower.

We bought a $3,000.00 Husqvarna mower (used only for mowing). It was used 2.5 seasons and the frame broke on the rear end. I took it in and was told by the repair shop that it is a known defect, and Husqvarna makes a kit to repair it. Husqvarna made me pay half the labor costs! I called the company 2 months ago to complain that it's not right to charge people on a factory defect. The guy said he would pass it on. I have never heard another word. My loss is minimal (as it's not the money, but the principle). However, their loss will be huge. We have a large family and many church friends. They will no longer do business with Husqvarna. When you are a farmer and all your friends are farmers, that can be a lot of loss. I hope the amount listed below was worth it to them!

I bought a new Husqvarna riding mower from a local dealer. Ever since the purchase, I have had nothing but issues with the mower. The mower would stop turning over and so I took it back to the local dealer who "fixed" it. I typically get one mow out of it, and when I go to use it again, the same problem again. Brand new $3,000 mower and I am taking it to the repair shop every week! It is the carburetor. We have done everything to try and fix this horrible product and nothing works. We finally bought a good mower, a John Deere, and now we are stuck with a $3,000 mistake! It seems like this is an ongoing product issue with multiple consumers. I, too, would like my money back or a new mower that works.

I recently purchased a Husqvarna chainsaw. After 2 uses, it needed to be tuned up as it did not work anymore. I went back to the place I bought it from and they informed me I was on my own, even though I purchased the saw there. They informed me Husqvarna was not paying them for the warranty work. I talked to Husqvarna and they informed me of the same, I was on my own. So now to get my $500 brand new saw to work, I have to drive out of town at my expense to get it to work. I would advise anyone about to buy any of their products not to. It is amazing how happy they are to take your money but not to inform you that after 2 uses, it will not work and you are going to have to spend more money to get it working! Great job morons. No wonder the Chinese are taking over. At least their products work.

On May 2nd, 2012, I bought a Farm Tough chainsaw from Tractor Supply, which I paid $399 for. I needed a 20" saw for some of the bigger trees that fell during tropical storm Irene. I have a 16" Poulan, and an 18" Homelite. I have owned chainsaws my whole life. I figured I would pay extra for a top of the line product. Boy, was I wrong! It ran great when I first used it, and I babied that saw like no others because it was so expensive. I was really impressed with it. Then, on the sixth time, I was using it right at the beginning of Hurricane Sandy when a tree fell across the street. While cutting it out of the way, the chain popped and a ping sound came from around the recoil/brake area.

Since I have purchased this riding lawn mower 3 years ago, I have had it to the shop 8 times and guess what? It’s going to go for number 9. I was cutting the lawn the other day and the rear axle snapped causing the tire to roll off. I would like to talk to someone about this problem and to see if we can do something about your faulty products. Your complaint section speaks for itself. I have had the valve break and the belt snap after just 1 year. This is totally wrong and you people should take care of these problems.

I bought a new Husqvarna push mower at Sears last March. However, I have had nothing but issues with the company and mower. The mower stopped turning over. I called the helpline and they said to put high grade full in the mower. That did nothing but cost me $3.89. I took it to a required Husqvarna repair center (Ed's Lawn Mover in Addison, Texas). They said that the carburetor would not be covered under the one year plan so I paid the $60.00. Two months later, the same problem. I called Ed's and they said nothing they can do. I find it very interesting that the company is posting on its website how ethanol may/can damage motors. It seems like this is a widespread product issue and I would like my money back or a new mower that works.

On April 1st, 2012, we purchased Tractor Husqvarna Model YTH24K48 from Lowe's store 0730 without first reading the horror stories depicted in here. On 9/15/12, after 5 sorties and only 11 hours of operation, the drive belt broke. I called Husqvarna Customer Service (no-service?). The agent arrogantly told me to read the warranty, "Sir, it specifically says belts & blades are not under warranty, blah, blah." I felt like a kindergarten pupil lectured by a mean teacher. At the end, I even apologized for my ignorance. I went to Lowe's (0730/Douglasville, GA). What a difference! Sandra, the customer service agent, attentively listened to my plight and decided to call Sonja, the store manager, who also politely listened to my story. I got the belt for free and she apologized for Husqvarna's rude service. Once again I was impressed with Lowe's customer service. I know I purchased a bad product ($2K+) but I don't blame Lowe's. On the contrary, I'll continue to buy there any product without hesitation. Caveat Emptor. It's my fault; I should have done more research, i.e. on this site!

On 7/22/2010, I received a new Husqvarna Rotary Lawn Mower (Part no: 917.376823 / Product no: 7021) as part of an exchange for another mower from Sears. I have had nothing but problems with the Husqvarna’s carburetor. On 11/26/2010, the mower stopped running and I had to return the mower to Sears for repair. After two weeks, I was told the problem was with the mower's carburetor; it was repaired and returned to me. On 6/20/2011, the mower stopped running and I had to return it to Sears. The problem was again the carburetor; it was repaired and returned to me after 2 weeks. On 10/8/2011, the mower stopped running and I had to return it to Sears. The problem was the carburetor; it was repaired and returned to me after two weeks.

I have a riding lawn mower that's in shop all the time. According to the specialist who has been working on lawn mowers for 20 years, my lawn mower had been dropped off a truck and then sold to me. The mower deck fell off after 6 months; front was bent, and now the frame is breaking off. He has never seen anything like this before. I contacted the company and filed a complaint and was told someone would call me back. It's been a week and have not heard from the company.

Husqvarna are the worst chain saws you can buy. They break down and malfunction more any other saw on the market. Also, the customer service is the worst of the worst and their reps will even admit it to you!

After two years of relatively light use, my Husqvarna Chainsaw 455 Rancher suddenly wouldn't start. I took it to an authorized service center who after examining it, said the engine had seized. He said the fuel mixture was set too lean causing insufficient lubrication in the cylinder. What?! Firstly, I never adjusted the fuel mixture because I didn't know how. Secondly, the manual says there is a factory installed 'limiter' cap on the mixture adjusting screw to guard against inadvertent damage to the engine caused by improper adjustment.

I bought a HUS960430109 riding mower 3/28/2012 new. I used it about 5 times before the drought set in. I began watering from our lake and needed to mow. The right front tire was flat. On 8/6/2012, I took the tire to my dealer for a repair and was told the cracks in the tire were delamination and was a problem to be handled by Husqvarna. He called that day. I have called about the status of the tires and was told today (8/17/12) that it would be 4 to 5 weeks for Husqvarna to correct the problem. The dealer is handling it for me. If I had both tires and rims, I could solve the problem at one time. Now, I have to pick up one tire and then take the second tire to the dealer. This is a lousy way for Husqvarna to handle a problem.

This mower (Model No. YTH24K48) was bought on May 30, 2012 and had 15 hours on it. After mowing for about an hour, the mower was parked in our equipment shed for 30 minutes. Later, the shed was on fire. There was no electricity to the shed. The shed burned to the ground and we lost everything.

I have owned a Husqvarna Riding Mower LGT 2654 for 3 years and have had a number of problems with this product. First, I had problems with the Lowe's in Gonzales, LA giving away my owner's manual. Long story short, they had 2 mowers, one was outside and one inside. The manual outside was soggy wet. Both mowers sold on the same day but I had to get a trailer to get mine home. When I picked mine up later in the day, there was no manual.

The 42" Zero Turn mower belts keep breaking and it has been in the shop more than 10 times for repairs. It went back in today for the deck lowering or higher and bracted brock. I only had it for less then 2 years.

I purchased my 46" YTH2349 tractor last March 2007. I changed the oil, filter and sharpened the blades 3 times. I haven't changed a belt yet. It just started rattling in the clutch/brake assembly - probably the pulley bearings or the belt. What a sweet tractor! Great service. I highly recommend Husqvarna products.

To start, I work at Lowe's on the Assembly Department. I know what you're thinking, but trust me, I hate working there more than you hate the store. From my experience, Husqvarna is a bad brand. They arrive pre-built, all I do is cut 4 sides of a box and roll the mowers off a pallet and into the parking lot for a 30 second test run to make sure it starts, goes forward, backward, blades engage and the brakes work. Then, it sits until the gas burns empty and it goes out to be sold. That being said, I am the one, at least at my store, who goes over the mower before it leaves for repair and I can tell you now your problems are not uncommon at all.

I bought a Husqvarna rototiller in 2005. I used it 4 times. On the 4th time, the wheels stopped turning. I took it back to where I bought it. I had it checked out and was told that the transmission was bad. I got the number for Tech Service (not easy to do) and was told, "sorry, you should have used it more." My next stop is cyberspace and the BBB.

Chain saw model 235 - I bought the saw on July 9, 2009 and have not yet put five liters of mixed fuel through it when it seized. The dealer told me it was finished. The warranty is done and no one cares. Clearly a problem with the saw, but the dealer doesn't care to investigate because they have to invest to find out why it failed and they know I am not paying. Warranty or not, a saw should last more than 5 liters of fuel or there's something wrong with the saw. Be warned.

The front wheel appeared to have a bent axle. On closer inspection, I found the wheel support hand broken free of the deck. The mower deck metal was not strong enough in that area and metal fatigue caused the wheel to break free. I have never had this happen and suggest that it is a major product defect. There was no dealer once they knew that it was past the warranty. The Husqvarna customer service line goes to a loop. I was cut off every time I press the number as instructed. If I stayed on the line, it played the introduction over and over. I thought that Husqvarna was a quality product, but the best thing about the mower was the Honda engine. I think I will buy a Honda mower.

Husqvarna 390XP chainsaw - Piston/cylinder melted during the second tank of gas. The service center could not determine the cause, but replaced cylinder and piston. After 8 more tanks of gas, the engine seized. The piston/cylinder burned up again. The service center reported a metal support between the carb and head was missing from the factory. During the first repair, the technician noticed it missing and thought they changed the design. They explained that after the saw warmed up, it would allow air to leak into the head causing the saw to run too lean and too hot. As this was a factory error, I expected an apology or a new saw, but received neither.

Problem with blade and bolt falling off new Husqvarna GTH26V52LS Garden Tractor, three times in the 1st year of ownership: Will Husqvarna wait until someone is seriously injured or killed by loose blade? I am angry and dissatisfied. I have contacted the corporate offices as well as the dealership and their home office with no response.

We purchased an RZ5424 mower in May of 2010. It mowed beautifully for one season. At the start of this mowing season, an idler arm broke causing the spindle that turns the blades to come off. The mower is still under warranty and has been in the shop for 5 full weeks now because the idler arm is, apparently, not to be found anywhere in the country. I've spent countless hours on the phone with the shop where we purchased it (The Mower Outlet in Mooresville, IN) and with Husqvarna customer service. The mechanic has agreed to take the part to a machine shop in an attempt to fab a replacement because Husqvarna is obviously not the least bit concerned about getting my 5 acres mowed before it consumes my house. Very disappointed, will definitely not be recommending this manufacturer.

I purchased a new Husqvarna 2042LS riding mower. I did not receive an owner's manual. I found no satisfaction following several requests. The Husqvarna site wants $29 to tell me if manual will be provided. It should have been provided.

I bought a new 130BT backpack blower in June of 2011, used it across the summer and into the fall. In late fall, I noticed that it was not developing power as it should. I set it up for the winter and took it to Lowe's in the spring of this year to have it sent off and repaired. After about a month, I received a call from the authorized service center telling me that the repairs were not covered under warranty. Caller said that there was excessive moisture in gas, therefore, diluting the oil in the mixture, and scouring the cylinder walls and trashing the carb.

Just an update to the post I made from April 29th after getting my mower back after four weeks of waiting for repair. I started mowing the yard for the 2nd time today and 1/3 done when cheap crap repair welds and deck broke again! These stamped decks are crap! Lowe's and their dreadfully slow warranty service are crap! I wasted an additional $20 by changing the oil in the thing again today so it can just sit some more now. Do yourself a favor and don't buy Husqvarna. If you feel you must, don't buy it from Lowe's. Disgusted...

I was mowing the lawn when suddenly between the engine and mower deck, fire broke out and the entire mower was engulfed in flames and burnt to a crisp. This was a Husqvarna model LGT 2554 riding lawn mower. I would discourage anyone to stay clear of them.

After reading the other reviews, I see, we are not the only ones with complaints. At $3.69 a gallon and at least an acre to cut, I have to go over the lawn at least 2 times to get it cut even, and even then, it looks bad. Our old Sears cuts better than our newer Husqvarna. We heard we were getting good quality, but apparently not. We, too, purchased new blades and had the machine adjusted, but plain and simple, it does not cut well. We are really disappointed.

When mowing, the Husqvarna 48" mower leaves stripes. Sears said I needed new blades. After buying $75 worth of blades, it still does it. I have adjusted it to specs and they can’t seem to tell me what I should do. I don’t recommend one of these unless you’re just cutting a weed field. My 1970 Wards mower with broken deck wheels cuts without stripes.

The new yth20k46 lawn tractor was bought new with 60 hours on meter because the geniuses at Lowe’s left the key on. The carriage bolt for shield under front of the deck fell off first time mowing. It swung back and hit the blade. The blade was bent. Also, the blade dug into the ground and snapped the mandrel, bringing mower to screeching halt and almost throwing me off.

I purchased 48" Husqvarna cut lawn tractor last fall. I owned it approximately for two hours. It lefts strips all over my lawn. I called the dealer and they sent a mechanic out that same day. Three times they sent the mechanics out. I told him I wanted a refund. I was told, "Too bad. We aren't giving you your money back," just have to cut my grass every day. They even picked it up and brought it back. Not fixed. I was told I just couldn't use the mulcher. That could be why it isn't cutting right. I bought it because of the mulcher. So that tells me they admit there is something wrong with the mower. My broken Craftsman lawn tractor cuts better than this piece of junk.

This is in reference with my Husqvarna rotary lawn mower (Model Number: 917.376822 21). My mower wouldn't start this spring. As it was still in warranty, I took it to an authorized repair center, Maximum Outdoor Equipment Service. Although I had prepared the mower for storage last fall by putting a fuel stabilizer in the gas tank, as described in the owners manual, I was told that the mower wasn't covered by warranty because the carburetor had gummed up. Apparently, the information in the manual was inaccurate and that a fuel stabilizer should never be used in a mower gas tank.

I purchased a Husqvarna (46-in, 21-hp, YTH21K46) a year ago from Lowe's. After using the mower twice, the transmission brackets broke. I had to take it and have it repaired. I used it one more time and the deck brackets broke and the deck was dragging on the ground, had that welded, used it one more time and the transmission brackets broke again. This mower is a complete waste of money. I will buy anything else except Husqvarna.

Husqvarna (46-in, 21-hp, YTH21K46): It's the same as the other complaints. The engine floods, and tons of gas come out of the engine, even after the motor dies. We have 1.5 hour on the first one. We also took it back. And now, we have only 1 hour on the second one, and it is doing the same thing. We have to borrow a trailer each time we take it back. I am very angry. I will probably just take the second back, get my money, and buy a different product. I will also make sure no one else I know buys one of these.

I purchased a Husqvarna 46" cut Lawnmower model #YTH21K46 on 3-12-12. Used it once and the second time I started it, gas was gushing out of the muffler. I took it back on 3-16-12 and got the same model. I used it once. The second time I used it, cut for 25 minutes and it shut off. It had the same problem, gas coming out muffler and filter compartment. The first mower failed with 1.5 hours on the engine. The second mower failed with 1.7 hours on the engine. My yard size is 1.5 acres.

On 6/06/2011, I purchased a Husqvarna LGT2554. I used it once, and then it would not start. No fuel at carburetor. Lowe's replaced it on 7/25/2011. I used this one 3 times. I went to start to move and have the same problem as the first one. I called Lowe's for the repair center; I was given a wrong number. I called Lowe's again and was told if I wanted it picked up for repair.

I bought a leftover 2346XLS from Northern Equipment in NH with 10 hours on it. Now less than 2 years and 300 hours later, the front tires are worn out. The left one really looks out of whack. Do I have any recourse? This is my second Husky and I own two chainsaws as well. What is up?

I am amazed at the amount of people complaining about Husqvarna products on this site. I have always owned Husky products and never had problems. They made killer motorcycles when I was a teenager and now I use their home and garden machines constantly. I bought a 350 chainsaw when I lived in the Colorado mountains, burning seven cords of wood a season and it has never failed to start on the second or third pull.

I have always heard how "great" these saws were and went to Rural King and paid a big chunk of cash for a Rancher. I took it home and immediately put it to work cutting. That affair lasted almost 30 minutes. At that point a plastic piece attached to the chain brake snapped, just snapped without being dropped, etc. So I re-packed it in its fresh box and returned it to the store that same day. They tried to talk me into keeping it but I argued that at this rate it will have broken dozens of times before it even gets to the warranty expiration date. I was done with Husky--or so I thought.

Ever since purchase, this has been the most difficult piece of machinery to start bar none. I have had it serviced and they even said they got it running a bit better, but still a bit hard to start. But should improve as it "breaks in". Upon seeing reviews and so many saying how great this product is, I kept it with the belief that it would improve. It never did, 15-30 pulls to start on the average and then once started, you could set it aside and it would puke, and stall out. Then the same procedure would have to be followed even though it was "warmed up".

My chainsaw has a design flaw. I've had to replace the gas line 5 times. As the chainsaw is running, it vibrates the gas line back and forth and the edge of the gas tank severs the line, causing gas to leak every where and then not run at all until line is replaced again. Very upset. Would like line replaced.

I bought a Husqvarna motor bike that was sold with an RWC but it has leaked oil 4 times. I paid $10600 for this motor bike and I am far from happy. I spoke to dealers and a rep about it and the problem is still there after 4 times at a shop. It is a hazard to ride. I want my money back.

I, too, bought a Husqvarna 2654 three years ago, and my story is just like Forrest of Festus, MO, reported on 12/12/11. The difference was that I was not as smart as Forrest. I believed the Husqvarna Service Center. The transaxle failed one month, after the 1 year warranty was over. The machine was not even paid for yet. I replaced the trans-axle, as suggested by the service center for about $1,100. I wish I was as fastidious as Forrest.

I am sorry for all the troubles folks have had with Husqvarna power equipment that have expressed their disappointment here. However, I feel that I must tell all of you that I own several units of Husqvarna power equipment (chainsaws and mowers) that have operated flawlessly for many years. I am not the only one who is happy with their Husky either. My equipment has been properly maintained by authorized service centers and myself as per the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. I use the recommended additives, fuels, oils, grease and filters for maintenance. They were bought from authorized dealer/repair centers that properly assembled the equipment from the beginning, not Lowe's employees that I doubt have any training or very little at best on proper assembly (not the employees' fault).

I love Husqvarna. I work at a dealership. Half the complaints on here are motors or trannies that husky doesn't build or have parts for. You should be yelling at the tranny company or motor company about the faults. The 235-240 chainsaws are poulan built. Don't buy them. Get a 435. Way better! I have a 15 year old husky chainsaw and a 15 year old husky tractor, as well as a 20 year old trimmer.

I bought a Husqvarna 2654, three years ago. While cutting the grass, the tractor stopped moving. I discovered a broken rear axle. I contacted Lowe's, only to be told that the axle could not be replaced. I would need to replace the whole transaxle. I made several calls to Husqvarna asking questions. They also told me, that these axles could not be replaced. They told me that I needed a $1,200.00 transaxle. After three days of phone calls, I discovered that the axle, as well as transaxles, were made by a company called Tuff Torque. When I called them, (a number which Husqvarna refused to give me), they explained to me that each and every transaxle they sell can be worked on, and the axle I needed could be replaced.

I purchased a new Husqvarna saw from Lowe's and use it twice. On second, the use of the engine seized mechanically. I contacted Lowe's for repair. The service advisor tried to say I used too much oil in the gas mix and caused the failure.

My husband also had problems with a Husqvarna LGT2554 purchased from Lowe's. The rear axle broke. Seems like many others have had the same problem. Husqvarna or Lowe's should do a recall and replace these at no charge. Otherwise, they will lose business because we had thought we were buying a good product but now we will not buy Husqvarna products.

I purchased a LGT2654 in 2007 for about $3300, after the second cut tractor would not pull. I called Lowe’s and was told to take it in for repair. They found bad transaxle and it was replaced. It now has the same problem. Again, I was told I need a new transaxle and it will cost $1125 to repair. I would not buy any lawn equipment from Lowe’s or Husqvarna.

I purchased a T435 Chainsaw in February of 2011. It has never run correctly and I have brought it to 2 different dealers for repair. I have spent time and additional money on repairs and still have a saw that runs poorly. I have spoken with 3 levels of Husqvarna support and they refuse to do anything about this issue. They also refuse to warranty the expenses I paid to get my saw back from the second dealer.

We bought a new Husqvarna mower at the end of last summer. We have had problems with getting it in gear and with breaking. The local dealer informs us that there is a recall for this problem. Husqvarna has no fix and advises not to use it. So, we have a new mower and can't use it for safety reasons. I am not happy at all.

An update on my mower: Since I am retired from the Military, I have the time to make sure I spend some days next spring, at the Lowe's in Lima, Ohio where I purchased my Husqvarna, to inform potential customers to not buy a Husqvarna, to let them know Lowe's orders Husqvarna products and has inferior parts installed so Lowe's can sell them at a lower cost. The customers don’t know this, they think they are getting the genuine Husqvarna product with parts that are to specifications – not true. I am very confident I will be able to steer away at least 10 customers easily. I have done this type of tactic before, and it worked great. If I can steer 10 potential customers away that is an estimated 30K in lost revenue. ** Lowe's and ** Husqvarna.

I have a 455 Rancher, and on 9-21-11, I was trimming some trees and had a serious accident. I cut a limb that fell and swept the ladder out from under me. I fell about 12 feet and was seriously injured. I sustained cuts which require stitches, contusions, and a broken arm. As I fell, my hand came into contact with the running chainsaw. The chain had come to a complete stop, because the emergency brake had been activated, and so the damage to my hand was minimal.

Last October 2010, I purchased a Husqvarna LGT2554 lawn tractor. I have put a total of 40 hours on it. I clean the whole tractor after every use. Since the first of this mowing season, I have had to replace the main drive belt 3 times, which is not an easy task. Also, when it is neutral, it still moves forward. The manual says this should never need adjustment. Also now, when I put it in reverse, it makes a terrible sound.

Briggs engine smokes and uses more oil than gas. It's ready to blow up. Briggs is really making junk nowadays. This mower had about 100 hours on it. I was a firm believer in Briggs up till now. I will never buy another Briggs engine. Even the Kohler engine is not thought of very highly. I do plan on buying another Husqvarna lawn tractor, as the overall machine seems to be good. But I guess the Kawasaki engine might be my choice. Husqvarna should make good on these lemon Briggs engines!

I bought a Husqvarna garden tractor from Lowe's less than 3 years ago. I also purchased the extended warranty. All in all, I spent around $3,000.00. This past week, I was mowing my yard and I was just rolling on cutting the grass and my mower stopped moving. The engine was running but I just sat there. I turned it off, checked underneath to see if I threw a belt. I had to take the grass catcher off to get a better look and I noticed my left rear tire/wheel was slanted. I took a hands-on check and sure enough, it wasn't a belt I threw.

I purchased a new Husqvarna mower RZ 4216 on Aug. 19, 2011. It had been started before I purchased it and the belt had shredded. It was the last of the model available so I accepted it with the understanding the belt would be at my expense but the warranty would cover the installation.

I bought a Husqvarna riding mower in July 2010. After 48 hours of use, the drive belt stretched and the mower stopped. The manufacturer said that they don't warranty belts! I just hope that I don't have to replace the belt every 50 hours!

This is about the Husqrvana YTH20K46 riding lawn mower. I purchased the mower from Lowe's Home Center Store at 940 Interstate Parkway, Akron, Ohio 44312 in July of 2009.My complaint is that it doesn't cut the lawn even and it's hard to start. I was cutting the lawn recently and the cable that engages the blade broke, and I had to have the local mower company come and pick it up, take it and have everything fixed on it. The mower is only 2 years old. It cost me a total of $366 to have it repaired. I'm a 71 year old female on a fixed income and I was told that Husqvarna was a good tractor to buy. But now, I would not recommend it to anyone. I think I should get my money back, plus the repairs. For a 2 season lawn mower, that's bad. I forgot, I already had a flat tire on the back too. I would like to have feedback on this please. Thank you.

New mower was delivered to my new house. It was a 23hp tractor with 48 inch cut. I mowed a large lot three times, logged seven hours of easy terrain mowing and then the tension spring broke. I only owned the mower for two months.

In 2009, I bought a 4000.00 Husqvarna zero-turn mower. That same year, 4 issues were needed to be attended to. This year so far, the mower has had another 4 issues. Sears has been very rude, unhelpful and very disrespectful. The mower has a warranty on it. The mower has sat in the garage this whole season waiting to be fixed! I have had to pay out over $1000.00 to have the yard maintained this year alone. The mower only has 18 hours on it. And it already has at least 9 problems to date! I need help.

I bought a Poulan Pro Lawn Mower that is made by Husqvarna and I have had problems since the first week I had it. The second time I went to cut grass, it would not stay running. So, I contacted the Badcock Furniture Store, wherein I bought it. And I was told that I was responsible for having it fixed. I let my son look at it and he tapped on side of carburetor with a screwdriver, and it left a few scratches on it. Still, he couldn't get it to run. I finally called the 800 number and was given a location where to take it. They would not work on it because they said they didn't work on items from Badcock.

Bought a Husqvarna commercial mower pz6029 zero turn mower for lawn cutting. The mower started making noise at eight hours of use under the deck.

We bought a Husqvarna Lawn tractor. I have only had it for 3 years and the engine blew up. We were told by a local repair person that they were pretty much a disposable mower. I have been working, trying to find another motor, and have read on how many of these mowers have had this same problem. I don't consider $2000 disposable. We have finally been told it will cost us about $1000 to have it fixed. The mower blew up the summer of 2010. It always backfired and was told that was normal. I believe Husqvarna should have to replace these engines for the shoddy work that has been done to them.

I purchased the blower in April of 2010. Other than occasionally being a little hard to start when cold it ran fine. June of 2011 after use on a Thursday it would not start the following Saturday. I checked the plug & while a little dirty it was nothing major. I've seen 2 cycle engines run on plugs in much worse condition but since it was a year old I purchased a new one & installed it. The blower still would not start. I located my local authorized service center & took it in for warranty service. I received a call that Husqvarna would not cover repairs under the 2 year warranty listed in their manuals, web site etc.

I bought a new Husqvarna (xt722fe) push mower with self-propel. It's a great mower so far; but when I changed oil the first time, I was amazed to find out that I needed to take off the self-propelled belt cover to get to the oil plug. What great engineer designed this? Maybe this person could come and change my oil for me when I need it. Or maybe an access hole in the cover would cure this problem.

I purchased a Husqvarna chainsaw 235e and I got it home and put chainsaw oil and gas mixture in it as directed, I tried to start it as the directions instructed me to. It would not start. I tried for 20 to 30 minutes and had no luck. This was Saturday 7-02-11 so I took it back to the store on 7-03-11 and they let me exchange it for another one. The other one was a floor model so the let me have that one and took 5 percent off on the price. I also purchased the extra year warranty so now I have 2 years on the chainsaw. I was told that if I had problems with it I could not bring it back for a refund. I would have to take it to get repaired.

I purchased the model YTH21K46 from a local Lowe’s. The mower deck and tractor vibrated exceptionally bad. I noticed the 1/2 x 106'' deck belt was flapping, causing this vibration. Being a design engineer, I replaced the belt with a heavier (B) type 5/8" and relocated the idler pulley tension bracket. Now, the mower runs perfectly with no issues. As I see it, this was an engineering miscalculation and would need to be rectified by the manufacturer on this one particular machine. I would think they are having many problems with returns on this model because of this issue.

We purchased a Husqvarna garden tractor in 2006 from an independent dealer. We've had nothing going wrong with it. We read the manual completely. We follow the maintenance schedule to the T, including oil changes and blade sharpening. We mow out the lawn and a neighbor's lawn with it at least once a week, from April to October. We followed the mower purchase with a chainsaw and blower, and both of those work great too.

Purchased Troy Bilt mover from Lowes with a Kohler engine, would not work since it was delivered, they replaced it with a Husquavarna with a Kohler engine, same problem, took to a repair shop, you are responsible for everything, transportation, taking it to a repair shop, etc. It has been two months and still waiting on parts to repair, call Husquavarna and they inform me that the parts are in stock and it’s the dealers fault. I gave them repair shops name and address and all of a sudden they made a mistake and the part is on back order for two months. I ask what they can do since it is a brand new lawnmower and I have not been able to use it, they inform me nothing. I would never purchase a Husquavarna product which includes Poulan or from Lowes.

I bought the Husqvarna 23 HP 48-inch cutting deck with the Briggs and Stratton engine (model 960450005). I have had it for three years and have had nothing but trouble from the unit and trouble from Lowes in getting the issues resolved.

We purchased a LT1597 Husqvarna ride-on mower on 12/12/08. Upon getting it home, we started the machine and it immediately backfired. I discovered there was no oil in it. It's bonnet was broken too. Each time we turn it off, it backfires continuously. We told the dealer about this.

We purchased a Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mower Model LOGTH2448T last May 21, 2006 from Lowes in Clarksburg,West Virginia. In June of 2008 it had to be sent out to have a transmission installed in it. It was covered under the extended warranty that we bought from Lowes. The warranty expired in May 2010. In Nov 2010 I had taken the mower out to do my trash. When I was done, I shut it off and went inside my house. However, when I came out and started it up, it wouldn't move so my first thought was that my transmission had gone out again. My son came out and looked under it to check if he can see what was the problem. He said it's not going anywhere because the frame is broken. And sure enough it was broken on both sides, just in front of the rear axle.

After suffering triple by-pass and was told not to cut grass or rake leaves by my doctor, I bought a leaf blower from Westport Lawn & Garden on 11/12/08. So I purchased this Husqvarna Leaf Blower HUW 125B and it worked well. I used it twice in 2009. It was still working well but when I went to use it in Oct 2010, it wouldn't start. I brought it to the dealer to be repaired, he said he would stand by this product but he was no longer an authorized dealer. It took 5 weeks to get the part (carburetor) and he installed it. Then he said, he put compression test on it because it still wouldn't start and it only compressed at 80 lbs.

I bought a Husqvarna riding tractor three years ago at the local lawn mower dealer. The past two months, I've noticed oil leaking and it smokes. I called to have it checked and was told I have a cracked block. The warranty is over now. I am out $1500. From what I read and was told, this is a common complaint about this mower. What can be done?

I purchased a Husqvarna riding mower in June. It has 14 miles on it and it began starting sometimes and not sometimes. I called Lowe's in Staunton where I purchased it. They put me off and said that I would have to call the extended warranty office, which I did. They referred it to Max Power Sports in Winchester for repair and Max picked it up over two weeks ago. Nobody has called to let me know what is going on. When I called them, I got a runaround; they are checking on it, they are working on it.

We also purchased a 20 hp 48" Husqvarna lawn tractor from Lowe’s in 2006. It’s the very first riding mower we ever purchased. I bought Husqvarna because we thought it was a good name. It had a Kohler engine, another good name, and it was sold by Lowe's, a big name that advertises quality products.

In the one year since purchasing the model number YTH20K46 riding mower, it has suffered two mandrel failures and one belt engagement cable break. Now the gas tank is leaking from multiple cracks in the center of the bottom of the tank.

Have a problem with my new 54" Husqvarna tractor (only 25 hours of use). The mower deck is at a 45 degree slant to the front. The lifting rod and pins for the front are missing. I don't know if they were ever there. I have been trying to contact Husqvarna with e-mails for 10 days with no luck. I guess they have gotten to many complaints because it is impossible to find a phone number to call them so I could talk to a live person.

I bought yth2348 in 2/23/10 because it is on sale. We did not use the mower until April. While cutting the grass, the mower just die. I called Lowes. They told us to replace Oil filter, Air filter and fuel filter for $60. I got it all changed. The mower started again, but then 30 minute on cutting, it die again. I called Lowe's again. They told us to take it to the Eastcoast appliance to get it repaired. They pick it up for $55.

I bought a 125 Husqvarna leaf blower in 2009 and 1 year later had to take it to them for repair. I waited 1 month after the 1st of April and called to see how it was going. They said the jug and piston was shot and it was out of warranty, since it was an 07 model. I told them I had bought it in 09 and had the sales receipt. I had to call in about a week and they told me warranty would cover it. Every week, it is the same thing, we'll have it on Monday. That has been since the last of April, 2010. Can you help me get it back. (4 mos. ago)

I purchased a Husqvarna model #YTH22V46 on 4/24/10. I was mowing my yard, when the motor suddenly died. Upon investigation, I discovered the blade on the left side was tilted out of position. Further investigation proved that the housing mandrel was broken away from its mount.

My mower had a bad transmission (automatic). Called husqvarna, they had me send it out to a repair company (Lowes wanted nothing to do with it). When I got it back I was having the same type of trouble. The repair company said it was a belt. The belt they used was a bad supply of belts that Husquvarna had received so they came and took the mower back.

I purchased a YTH21K46, 46" cut riding mower from Lowe's. The Kohler engine made all kinds of funny noises from the beginning. I think it has the 21 HP engine. I’m not sure because it is at the repair shop now. The engine started using oil after about 4 months of use. Finally, the engine just locked up. I tried to return it to Lowe's because that is where I bought it from and it is still under the Husqvarna 2-year warranty. The first time I contacted Lowe's, they told me that I needed to call Husqvarna. After I made some calls, they finally sent it out for me but now they want nothing more to do with it. They sent it out to Oakboro Tractor to be repaired and they, being the Husqvarna Representative is saying that it is going to cost me $1,000 to fix and are blaming me for the engine locking up. The mower only cost $1,599 new and now they want to charge me $1,000 just for an engine block.

I purchased YTH2042 lawn tractor in June '06 from Lowe's. A couple weeks later the battery was dead. I charged it and it went dead again. Husqvarna arranges pickup for warranty and they return it stating that it was fixed. Next spring, it starts doing the same thing again. This time Husqvarna refuses to pay for picking it up, but covers repair. Two and a half years went by, and out of nowhere, it starts smoking oil and I noticed the Kohler Courage 20 hp motor block had a big crack in it. With less then 50 hours on it, it is out of warranty and I'm left with a $1,400 piece of junk. It appears to be a common problem with the Kohler motors. Stay away from Husqvarna and anything made at the SC plant.

My mower has a leaking gas tank and is not a part of the recall. I've noticed this for over the last six years and just thought that I was over filling the tank. My son-in-law pointed out the leak to me. My garage has always had a gas smell and now I know where it comes from. It's a YTH1542XP with 211 hours on it.

I bought two new 22-48 Husqvarna Mowers this Spring. The mowers run and the ride was great, but I don't think even Obama can make these mowers cut level. I carried them both back to the shop and they said that they leveled the decks but the marks I put on the adjusters, are still in the same place. It still mows like crap. Any suggestions? I should have bought One John Deere! Oh, I miss my Murray. The yards look pitiful every week and my 84-year-old mother is not a happy camper.

I purchased a Husqvarna lawn tractor from Lowe's. I used it twice, performed the break in oil change, etc, then it started blowing fuses. Luckily, the warranty was still in effect and I had the problem fixed. It's two years old now and it keeps breaking the starter gear. Guess what, the freaking thing is plastic and guess what else, so is the ring gear on the fly wheel. What the heck? (Briggs 23 Intek) These things may look big and stout but they are pieces of crap. I bought a new mower so I wouldn't have to spend more time working on it than cutting grass but guess what, it didn't work. Don't buy this junk.

I bought a Topaz 20 sewing machine in Aug. 2009. The sewing machine has been in the shop once already. Now I will have to take it back because it is not sewing and it sounds like a truck. I really think that they gave me a used machine or it is a lemon. I want my money which is 3017 dollars or a new machine. I should not have to send a new machine to the shop this soon. When I sew, the machine tears my fabric and knots up so I can't get the thread out of the fabric.

This is an update from my June 10th letter. Since I found out my Husqvarna tractor was purchased at Lowes in Sept. 2006. It has 86 hours on it! And it has a cracked block! Lowes will not stand behind it in any way but gave me a # to Husqvarna who after spending a total time of 62 minutes on hold told me they would not do anything. I had to contact Kohler and I got another number. I have already spoken to someone at Kohler who said that warranty is black and white, so I guess that means they won't stand behind their product either. I think all 3 are guilty and I will continue this fight and will contact some TV stations to see if they will make this issue more public. Lowes should not sell that junk in their store which I will never step foot in again! Menards here I come! Economic damage is I have a tractor that I put on a credit card and am still paying for that has a cracked block! I is 3 seasons old, I am in Michigan, we only have a few months mowing season here!

I bought a Husqvarna 42" cut lawn mower with a 20HP Kohler engine from Lowe's. It is about four years old and the block cracked! I can't even believe it and a new one is $1400. You can get a new tractor for that! I am getting nothing but the runaround from Husqvarna, Kohler and Lowe's. Don't buy this product from anyone, trust me! My mower maybe has 150 hours on it. This should have never happened! I can't afford a block or a new mower. So now what?

Don't buy Husqvarna! Another company that does not care about the people that purchase their products. I am very sorry that I did not see some of the complaints about the Garden Tractor LOGTH2448T that Lowe's Home Improvement sells. This item has been nothing but problems from day one. Problems with the transmission, cutting deck, belts, tire alignment and to top it off, the "C" channel frame is broken in two on the right and left sides just behind the rear deck adjustment. This mower has just "67" hours on it and is gingerly used.

This is not a complaint but an observation on the quality of the Husqvarna lawn tractor. I'm currently in the market to buy a larger tractor to mow about 3 acres. Until now, I had seriously considered several of the larger Husqvarnas to accommodate this task. After reading the horror stories on this web site, from shoddy equipment to complete indifference at the engineering or technician level, I have definitely removed the Husqvarna from my consideration list. Are you listening Husqvarna?

I bought a Husqvarna tractor off of them. It was about the year 2006. In 2008, I had to put a new block in it. It had a hole in it. They told me it had no oil in it but I check it every time before using it and the oil was full. I had to pay $600 to get a new block for its briggs and stration. They met me half way on it. Now, the tractor works fine for a while. Now, the tractor will not let the blades go in gear. This tractor has been a nightmare for me.

I bought a Husqvarnar 15hr 42 cut Ryder. It started leaking oil, so I took it in. They told me I had a crack in the engine block, so they said they could fix it, it started to leak again. They said I needed a new motor, so I took it somewhere else. They found another crack in the block. I’ve had it around five years, it look like new.

I purchased a Husqvarna lawn tractor in 2005. I noticed the motor never really ran that smooth so I would change the air filter out on a monthly basis. We have a lot of pollen in Va and I thought it must be getting clogged easily. After a year or so, I noticed it was consuming an excess amount of oil and began smoking after heating up. I took the mower to an authorized Briggs and Stratton dealer thinking it was a bad motor, a lemon so to speak.

I purchased a 54 in. Husqvarna Lawn Tractor on 4/26/2008. After two uses, I called to see if I could return the mower because I was so dissatisfied with it. My complaints were that the engine was super loud, the deck even at 7 was too low, any uneven ground I would bottom out or get stuck. The machine appeared to rattle. Everything is loose. The dealer would not even consider the return. A few months later, the belt broke off because the underneath sat too low to the ground and the pulleys were full of stuff.

My 2006 model YTH2448 garden tractor mower had too many problems to list. It - started about a year in ‘stay bar’ on electric clutch wore hole in the unit was causing failure. I had to replace the electric clutch and stay bar that was worn in two. The central pulley assembly kept falling out of the crankshaft. Finally, the bolt broke in the crank and I had to replace the crankshaft at $700. Now, the engine seals are leaking about one quart per use and at least up until the pulley assembly fell off the crankshaft again. Woe is me. The parts/labor totals approximately $1200 so far and the mower costs 1900. It is outrageous, really.

Mower deck belt keeps breaking. I couldn't find any at the local dealers and had to order online. Deck hangs up unless perfectly level. Only turns well in one direction. My old MTD mower worked twice as good at half the price. It has smaller tires but didn't spin like this one. I would never buy another one. It gets hung up on level ground.

I bought a Husqvarna 15 hr Kohler engine rider. I have had it for 4 years. It started leaking oil so I took it back to where I got it from, and they told me it had a crack in the block. They said they had never seen anything like that before. The crack was on the opposite side of the crank, and they said that there was no damage from me driving it. They figured it came from the factory that way. So I contacted Husqvarna and they said it was a Kohler problem. So I contacted Kohler with several complaints and they have never gotten back to me on them. So here I sit with a cracked engine block.

The belt that drives the deck keeps jumping off inside the deck and gets torn up under the idler pulleys. It happened three times, no one was able to fix the problem so I sold the mower at a $3000 loss. I will not be buying any more Husqvarna products.

It’s interesting to hear so many others with the same complaint about Husqvarna that I have. I bought a riding mower, a GTH2448T garden tractor which apparently is neither a garden tractor or a Husqvarna, from Lowe’s (also apparently one of the many companies who do not stand behind all the crappy "value model" brand name items they sell) and found out right away that it would not work with ground-engaging attachments as advertised. I let that slide and went on with life, content to pull a cart with it and just use it as a mower. I seem to have had a little bit better luck with it than most, but it is at the three-year mark now and the problems are beginning to turn up.

My 2254 series lawn tractor constantly needs repairs. The tires leak and must be filled every week. The parts that broke were the front yoke that attaches the mower deck to the front frame, two times; the bearing mount housing which attaches to blade, the mower deck wheels, belts, and you must jump start battery. It is less than 2 years old. What a **. For one reason or another, all repairs were refused by Lowe's, so my costs are over $500.

Riding lawn mower purchased from Lowe's with extended warranty - At 20 hours, a belt came off and took two weeks to repair. Now at 41 hours, the transmission went out and it took 8 weeks to repair. I just got it back today and within one hour, the transmission went out again. It is a piece of junk. Lowe's won't do anything but reschedule repair. Husqvarna hasn't replied to my request for a prorated refund or a different unit. I spent an extra $450 to have my yard (1 acre) mowed while in for repairs. Obviously, I don't trust the unit and getting ready to have to spend more money while it is being repaired the second time for the exact same problem.

In the spring of 2008, I purchased a 54" Husqvarna lawn tractor at a local Tractor Supply store. Within a couple of weeks, the belt keeper snapped off. I took the mower back to Tractor Supply who had me order the part from a local store and then one of their employees replaced it for me. Within another couple of weeks, the belt keeper broke again and I went back and ordered the piece again but this time, I took the mower to our local warranty tech to fix it because the parts store told me that my 2 year warranty would cover this. The local Husqvarna tech got it fixed, but soon the same thing happened again. Suffice it to say that I spent the summer of 2008 with no mower. As soon as spring rolled around this year (2009), I started using the mower and again, the belt came off and the deck was noticeably tilted and lower. We mentioned that it looked lower last summer, but weren't taken seriously. The deck has continued dropping. Now on a cutting level of 1-7, the deck cannot lower below 4; it is on the ground.

I have a Husqvarna YTH2448 that smokes like crazy! The repair shop said there was nothing they could do to fix it (scarring in the engine block). The mechanic said that he had many customers with the same symptoms (common problem with YTH2448 model). He also said the Briggs engine on the Husqvarna is not good, probably the worst engine produced by Briggs. I'm very upset with Husqvarna/Briggs! The mower only had 112 hours on it when this began!

I got a Husqvarna mower in 2008. Something was broken off the tranny, and it would not stop. We found the piece in the yard, and I was lucky that I missed the tree. I called and told them I wanted my money back, but they told me no and that it has been a year. It is covered for two years. And I got this one due to had just got one from Lowe's and it did the same thing with it. It was a year old. They would not do anything about it. It almost killed my son. It put him over a hill into lots of rooks at a really fast speed. He still has scares from it.

I purchased a 60" Dixon lawn mower and it’s been in the shop a lot. This is a commercial grade machine that has less than 400 hours on it. Well, now the clutch has thrown a bearing and ruined the motor. Farmers Exchange said that even though it has not ran properly since I purchased it that, the warranty is now expired and they will do nothing to assist me in this matter. I feel if this was a commercial grade machine, it shouldn’t break with so little hours on it. I only use this machine for my own property, so it is not used as much as a contractor would use it. If it were, this problem would have happened a long time ago. Dixon is now owned by Husqvarna and when I called customer service, I was transferred to an answering machine. I left a message with my name and number, but I still have not received a call back. Can someone help? I purchased the machine for $6,000 and now they want $1,700 to fix it.

I purchased a GTH2548 lawn mower from Lowe's in 2004 for $3,000.00. I perform all the maintenance of this mower. I replace the belt, oil and filter every 50 hours. I only use what is specified to use in the owner’s manual. I replace the blades at the beginning of every year. This mower came with the notorious 25 HP Kohler Command engine. This engine blew the head gasket on the right side of the engine after 80 hours. Only 2 weeks out of the store warranty, I went ahead and replaced it.

I own a 4-year-old Husqvarna ride on mower with 48" wide cut and 3-blade mower deck (model YTH2448). I will have replaced every belt on the thing by this month. One belt will have been replaced twice, another three times. I say "will have" because as I write all 3 belts - drive, primary, and secondary - await replacement. When the first belt wore out in year 2 (along with new leaking tires), Sears told me belts and tires are not covered under warranty as they are wear parts and it was beyond the total parts full warranty period. Belts cost $30 to $50 each. I was also not happy with the ragged cuts the 3-blade deck made or the fact that it loads up so easily with grass and needs to be unclogged.

We bought a Husqvarna lawnmower approximately 3 years ago on July 4th and the mower has only 195 hours and we have had nothing but problems out of the mower. We have replaced the pulleys which you could not get the parts at Lowe's or through the factory. We had to go to Chesnee SC at Western Auto Parts to get the parts and recently another pulley came off binding the blades and we had to replace for the second time and had to replace the blade spindle.

I have a riding Husqvarna (yth2448). It is really bad. I have had it for two years, and I have spent >$1500 in repairs. It is now not running again. The Briggs and Straton engine has had a valve fall off the rocker arm. Later, a head gasket blew. It is backfiring and not running again. The mower seems okay, but the engine is not good. I have always put Stabil in the gas and performed proper maintenance. No more B&S engines for me.

I have a Husqvarna YTH1542 lawnmower and the fuel tank is leaking very badly. The tank is made of two parts and the fuel comes through the joint where the two parts come together. I have heard that there were many cases of the same problem as mine. Is there any way I can get a new tank anywhere? Thank you.

On 5-13-08, I bought a Husqvarna riding mower from the Lowe's store in Waxahachie, Texas. From day one, I became concerned. While starting the mower, it blew out a great big cloud of smoke. It did this every time I start the mower. At first, I thought it was just part of the breaking in process. After a while, I started wondering if there was something wrong with the motor. It didn't take long for me to find out. After putting 24.5 hours of use on the mower (and yes, I did change the oil, and filter, at the recommended intervals), the engine started making a loud clanging noise. I tried to get it to the driveway where I could look at it when it backfired loudly and stopped dead in its tracks. I tried to restart it and got just a whining noise; it wouldn't restart. I cut my lawn with it five times. It was just over 90 days old. The money back warranty had already expired.

I purchased a YTH20K46 lawn tractor from Lowe's. As I was mowing the yard, I smelled the odor of gasoline. I got off the mower, raised the hood to see gas running out of the tank all over the cutting deck and onto the lawn. We were very lucky there was no fire. After checking the mower, I found the fuel tank had cracked right in the center of the bottom. There is no support for the bottom of the tank. It is just supported by the mounting brackets molded on the side of the tank. This is a safety hazard that everyone should be aware of.

I'm trying to register my new chainsaw. There's a slip of paper that says Husqvarna no longer accepts paper registration as of January 1, 2007. They tell you to go online and choose the product registration tab. The web address has changed and reverts to the new one when you type in what is on the paper/directions. There's no tab or way I can find to register this product (or any product). There's also no phone number to call, just a form to fill out that the user will receive answer from via email. I can't register the product. How will recalls be dealt with? If I have a problem with this, how do I contact them? Assuming it's all dealer-based then?

I purchased a Husqvarna Rose sewing machine for $1,200, plus another $500 in attachments. From the beginning, the machine would delay sewing when I pressed the foot pedal and then suddenly start sewing rapidly. This isn't practical for detail sewing of any kind as it restricts the ability to control the detail and pace of the machine. I have taken it in for repair of this same problem three times without resolution or any feedback from Husqvarna. I submitted an email to Husqvarna through their corporate website and received no response.

4 years ago I purchased a Husqvarna yth1848 xp mower to cut approximately 3 acres of grass.(I do about half each weekend) This mower had issues from the start. First, the engine would slow when going up a hill and with the blades engaged. This was fixed under warranty and the kawasaki engine has been fine since.

Purchased a new Husqvarna mower around June 2005. In early 2007 the mower seemed to be running on one cylinder. We called the company we bought it from since it was still under warranty. The serviceman found the rod had come off the rocker arm. He repaired at no charge.

I recently purchased a new Husqvarna ride on tractor model number YTH20K46 and an extended warranty through the seller. This purchase was made approximately 60 days ago (June 2008). The tractor was delivered by the seller with scratches all over the body of the tractor.

on june 15,2004. i bought a new husqvama tractor, when they devilered it, it had a sheared off bolt, they took it back and fixed it, short time later, it stopped running, they took it back, this time they said it was a warped head, when they returned it, it was smoking, they said it would stop soon, it never did,

I have owned my Z54-26 mower since August 07. It has been in several authorized repair shops forat least two months and inoperable even more. The last shop made it clear they did not want to work on it since it sat there in the rain for two weeks, and it would be several more weeks before they could get to it. No replacement loaner in the meantime, since we bought it at the BX at Robins AFB in Ga, and not from them.

I purchased a new Husqvarna Model 7021RS lawn mower. On its very first use, the mulcher plug (flimsy plastic) was shredded after mowing over a couple of pine cones that were lying in the grass. No phone number is provided to contact Husqvarna directly, and trying to use their web based email/contact system puts you in endless loops. I am very disappointed in Husqvarna's consumer support system, and also in the flimsy and poor design of the mulch plug attachment. I would hope that they would make a heavier duty replacement part. Other than this one part, the mower has operated in a flawless manner.

The transmission on my lawn tractor went compleatly out. My lawn tractor is only a couple years old. I was not to pleased but decided to take it to a dealer that i do a lot of business with. I purchased this lawn tractor at Lowe's. However, seeing how the warranty is already expired I did not think where I took it for repair mattered. It has been a month and a half and the dealer cannot get parts for the transmission from out sourced supplier. However the lawn mower still says Husqvarna on the side. I was mislead by thinking Husqvarna stood by their product for quality and service if something went wrong.I will tell every person I ever come in contact with that is thinking of buying a Husqvarna product not to do so.

I got over 12 years service out of the last riding lawn mower from sears. but decided to buy a bigger and heavier lawn mower once I built my new house. I bought a 48 cut 24HP Husqvarna lawn mower from lowe's. Within the 1st year I had trouble starting the mower. I also noticed after using it for a while the mower cut the yard unevenly. Later that summer after taking it to an authorized husqvarna repair shop was told the spindle needed to be replaced. this however, did not even out the cutting. the lawn mower also occassionally left uncut gaps of grass between the 2 cutting blades. At the start of my 2nd year of use the mower would not crank.

I purchased a husqvarna selfpropelled lawn mower a little over two years ago for a listed price or $379 from Sears and expected it to be a quality product. It was a selfpropelled walk behind modes with a hi-vac bag. after several seasons of use the bag failed. The door grassbag part (made of plastic) would no longer support the metal rod connecting it to the opening making it unusuable.
