Left front tire came off during cutting, outside bearing was missing and the inside bearing was broken. Had to travel 45 to 50 miles before finding a dealer that could make repairs (stopped at 2 dealers recommended by Husqvarna, no help ). Mower was purchased 1 year ago and has only 43 hours.

Bought my first new mower. Heard that Husqvarna was a dependable product. Its a 46 riding mower. With 5 hrs on the motor the belt for the blades broke. I bought the 4 yr extended warranty. They picked up the mower and kept it almost a month. I had to pay for the belt. They said it wasnt a manufacture defect. Then the knob on the blade engage handle broke. With 14 hrs on mower it quit running. No power. Battery is fine but when I turn the key on I have no power for lights. Only thing that comes on is the hour indicator. Still waiting for word on problem. They wont refund my money or give me a new one. THIS IS A LEMON. Plus I have to pay to have my grass cut. The mower was bought last year and only 14 hrs! Really!

The mower has a Briggs and Stratton 27 HP motor, has 390 hrs. Burns oil badly not head gaskets had both replaced. The positive traction doesnt work rear end makes a noise when backing up. Has fabricated deck and does not cut tall grass good. Junk.

LGT 2554 lawn tractor Husqvarna - I have purchased a brand new in 2009 of May. As of May 18 of 2013, the mower threw a drive belt after taking off the mower deck to find out why. I noticed that the frame (chassis) where the rear end mounts to the frame was broken on both sides. I mow on flat ground. I called the service center. There was nothing they could do but go to a service center to get it fixed. So I took it into my hands and had to order a new frame. It will be up for sale as soon as it will be fixed! Not too happy with the brand!

I bought a Zero turn Husqvarna Z246 mower, had it 33 days, 6.3 hrs on the hour meter and the transmission went out on both sides. Called customer service and was told to take it back to Lowes and they would replace it with a new one. So I returned it back and the store manager asked if I had a return authorization number and I said she didnt give me one. So he calls Husqvarna customer service and was told that since it was 3 days past the 30 day return they would not authorize the exchange.So I spoke to the woman on the phone and she would not authorize it because it was past the 30 days even just by 3 days. So I asked to speak with someone above her and she said it would be a waste of my time because they would say the same and would not authorize the exchange either. So I asked for her name and employee number and she would not give me her first name and stated that employees are not given employee numbers - like I believe that. So I left with a new broken mower. I will never buy another Husqvarna product ever.

My Husqvarna is a workhorse. I live on a 20-acre parcel. It has done the job over and over again. I do not know what I would do without it. I really never had a problem with it. Other than changing the blades a few times, it has never had a problem.

Husqvarna riding lawn mower yth24v54xls - Ive had this mower for 2 years. Ive had to change out spindles on the mower deck twice. Ive had two more deck because the weld on the brackets broke. I have had to put on a motion drive belt and I am still having problems with the belt staying on. I get no response from Husqvarna nor the dealer of why or anything in that nature. Customer service sucks on their part of a company. If there was ever a lemon I have it and Husqvarna give no satisfaction. I would not buy another Husqvarna product again and I have four or five of their products now.

I bought a riding lawn mower in March of 2008 and have 238 hours on it. I have done spring maintenance on it every year. The third time Ive started mowing the yard this year, the left rear tire popped off. After looking at the shaft, it was broke in half. I dont know how this could break with this little hours. This mower is used for my yard only. I cant see spending this much money on a mower to have trouble with it already.

I wrote a letter to the Customer Service Department in North Carolina and received a response from the Husqvarna Technical Department and their response was, With your machine being out of warranty by more than a year, I will not be able to help you fully with the cost of repair. With that stated, I can alleviate the greatest cost of the repair from you by supplying you with the parts needed to get your machine operational once again. If you accept this offer I will ship them to you direct. I responded back to them with the parts that were needed (approximately $235.00) that the repair shop gave me. Within less than one week, all parts were shipped to my home address and I delivered the mower and parts to them for repair. My only cost will be for labor which was quoted to me to be about $75.00. Thank you, Husqvarna for standing by your product and for the help and assistance you gave me to rectify my problem. My faith and trust in your company has been restored and will surely pass on the word on how you stood by your product and kept me as a customer.

I have a Riding Lawn Tractor from Husqvarna which has been in the shop twice since I purchased it just over two years ago. The first time was for the starter and the mower deck. Most recently the transmission wasnt working properly and ultimately it was found that the frame had cracked. 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 dont even own a tow ball. I would urge anyone looking to buy a mower from Husqvarna to seriously reconsider and pay a little extra for a more developed company with better quality products.

OUR HUSQVARNA LGT 2654 Rear axle has broken twice now. It has been in the repair shop over a month now. The repairman says he is having trouble getting parts to fix it. He has replaced the rear seal 3 times and it continues to leak fluid. I am at my wits end with the tractor. Has there been any kind of recall on these tractors.

I have it services every year, but Tractor lost HP within three years. It sometimes struggles to get up the 20 degree incline in my backyard. I would probably not buy this brand again.

My girlfriend hit a rock and the lawn mower stalled and would not start, had to take it to a shop I bought it from. They said I bent the shaft and charged me 90 dollars not covered by warranty. They said Ive hit rock harder with cheap Sears lawn mowers and didnt pay $325 for them. Very disappointed and I own another Husqvarna lawn mower and weed eater.

Purchased two brand new push mowers from Lowes, both have been terrible and one just died. We had purchased the extended warranty yet like everyone else; they blame us for it breaking. Terrible product and terrible warranty. I will no longer purchase from Lowes or a Husqvarna product.

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.

Never have a issue. Always starts right up and havent had to buy new blades. Yet have it over a year. Its a amazing machine. I highly recommend. It does what its supposed to do with minimum maintenance. The best brand out there by far.

I bought a Husqvarna YTH18542 Riding Lawn Mower with a 42” deck powered by a Briggs & Stratton 18.5 HP motor. It only has 200 hours on it and the transmission locked up on me. For as much as I paid for this mower I am very disappointed in the quality. This mower has lots of cheap plastic parts. What metal it does have is very thin and easy to bend.

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.

From very beginning our 24HP YTA24V48 48 B&S INTEK V-TWIN with 3-year extended warranty would not pull upgrade once warmed up. The pedals also lock up and have to be stomped to work. Took to the same dealer twice during the first year. Each time they claimed they could find nothing wrong. Took to a different dealer. They said that the transmission is in a vinyl housing and that they have had many of these brought in with the same complaint. After two months, they said Husqvarna would not approve replacement of the transmission. After two more weeks they still told me the same. I picked the mower up and use only on level terrain. Bought a Cub Cadet for mowing the hillsides and it works beautifully. My three-year extended warranty was worthless.

Purchased Husqvarna ST 224 Snow Thrower in Oct. Live in NJ during blizzard last month the auger stopped after an hour of using. Removed cover, auger belt was frayed and off the pulley. I put it back on in the middle of a blizzard under a carport. Started and tested, the belt was so stretched it would not turn the auger. Found through surfing Husqvarna has a Technical Services Bulletin (TSB) addressing the problem. This has occurred on other Husqvarna models too! Called Husqvarna and spoke to a rep. He did not know what a TSB was and blew me off to a dealer. Call them, theyll take care of it. I then asked if Husqvarna was going to reimburse me for paying to have my driveways plowed, he said NO! The dealer will have my $850.00 HUSQVARNA SST 224 Big Orange POS for 2 weeks this Friday 2/12/16. IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS TIME TO FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HUSQVARNA AND THEIR INFERIOR PRODUCTS.

Husqvarna YTH20K46 - Bought ride on lawn tractor about 2 years ago. Its starting to leak oil between the cylinder head. Will never buy another Husqvarna product again... Spend the extra money get a better product.

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 dont 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 dont 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!

We bought a Husq self-propelled mower. We noticed the front, right wheel was crooked. It looked like the tire was on crooked (later learned it is a complete unit). It worked and so we decided to wait on checking it out. We went into winter, then the mower was in storage thru the summer as we sold one home and rented (mower in storage) till we purchased another home. We moved in the winter and are just now using the mower again. Upon removing the crooked wheel, we learned the hub was crooked and had caused a complete grind-down of 2/3 of the gears. We called Husq and a wonderful rep. helped us find a repair shop. They called Husq and were told the wheel replacement was not covered because we didnt have it checked out right away.We called Husq again and got stone-walled. Called back later and got a wonderful rep that transferred us to the escalation team, who was another stone-waller. Its a $25 wheel. Not the kind of service I ever want to be subjected to again. One or two reps were really helpful and professional. The other two reps acted like it was their own $25 they were protecting. They were not helpful or professional. This attitude/standard clearly comes from senior management. Ive had it with Husq.

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 Lowes in Gonzales, LA giving away my owners 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. My real problem is with the mower. In the first year, I had to replace the deck belt once, excessive backfiring, and the engine stopped running. I discovered the push rods for the intake and exhaust valves came loose. Forget using the warranty - it took 3 months to get them to even look at it. I made the repairs myself. In the 2nd year, you better own a welding machine, deck wheel brackets x3 , replaced deck belts x2, deck adjustment rod fell off and went under the mower. The deck bent a blade and destroyed the rod. I replaced blades and rod. Now we are early in year 3 and I have cut about 8 times. I had to replace the spindle for the left deck pulley 2 weeks ago and yesterday I replaced the deck belt for the 3rd time this season (belt # 6). It still backfires but not as bad as before I made repairs to the push rods. As for the headlights, they are just for looks. What a joke. This mower has never had the power that I expected and it has never had an even cut. My old Murray had more power and cuts better. I just cant get parts anymore. I will never purchase another Husqvarna. If you choose to purchase one, you better be a mechanic, welder, and electrician. As for the couple of people who claim to have had no problems because they take such good care of their mower, well, mine got washed, oil changed, greased, and checked as required by the owners manual (once I got one). So consider yourself lucky.

I bought a Husqvarna 2654, three years ago. While cutting the grass, the tractor stopped moving. I discovered a broken rear axle. I contacted Lowes, 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. The cost of the axle, seal needed, and shipping was only $45.00, and the female I spoke with on the phone, had the knowledge to explain everything I needed to know to fix the problem. She explained that if it has bolts, it is not a sealed unit, as reported by Husqvarna, and could be taken apart. The part arrived in two days, and it took about two hours to fix. When I called the Husqvarnas home office, and spoke to a person identified as a vice president, I explained what I had been told by the company, and he agreed. Then, I explained what I had been told by Tuff Torque. He seemed surprised. I then told him that I had made the repairs myself, (I am no mechanic, but this was a simple job). He started stammering and stuttering. A couple of weeks later, I received a gift certificate in the mail from Husqvarna, which I promptly threw away. I will never buy another thing from Husqvarna, nor Lowes. In my opinion, they are both nothing but con artists, ripping the Americans off. If you, or anyone you know has a problem with these mowers, dont believe Husqvarna, nor Lowes, and dont believe the authorized dealers and service centers either, as they are trained by Husqvarna, and the mechanics are told and trained that these axles con not be fixed, so they are not allowed to even attempt it. After logging in more that 50 more run hours this past summer, I am pleased to report that the axle that could not be replaced, according to Husqvarna, is still working just fine. My hat is off to a company called Tuff Torque, for good old honesty, and for the help.

Purchased a Husqvarna self propelled lawn mower in April 2014. Cable for self propelled activation broke in September 2014. Brought mower to authorized repair location in Wilmington N.C. They called me after about a week and told me that the broken cable was not covered under the warranty because somehow I broke the cable and it was my fault. I wrote a letter to their regional office in Charlotte N.C. and never had the courtesy of a reply.

I bought a Brand New what was supposed to be a 2018 but turned out it was a 2017! In April of 2018 I have had to replace everything above the deck at least once due to failure of components! Also I have had to change the blades at least 4 times! Leepers is where I was screwed at, and after fixing it again this last time, I found the deck was cracked at the weld of the back bracket! So I took it to an authorized warranty dealer. They called me and told me Husqvarna will not service my warranty! I paid $3000 for a mower that’s a $$$ pit! I WILL NEVER SHOP FOR HUSQVARNA EVER AGAIN, NOR DO I ADVISE ANYONE OF BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS!

The AWD walk behind lawnmower with a Honda engine we used it 3 times and the skirt at the back is tearing away, Husqvarna will not cover under the warranty but the dealer will cover it at cost. Really disappointed with the company that makes the mowers as I am going to have this problem with a new mower for the rest of its lifetime.

I buy all brand new Husqvarna equipment when I opened my landscaping business 8 months ago. I paid for Lowe’s no hassle warranty, and thought that the nicest equipment from Lowe’s and extra warranty would start me in the right direction. Boy was I wrong! 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!

I purchased Husqvarna lawn mower in May 2019. A month later when I wanted to install bagging attachment I discovered that a part was broken and I was not able to install it. I had to send it to be repaired to the place I bought it from. Two weeks later they installed a new part and I could use it again. But I had to pay $200 because they said that Husqvarna did not approve this repair to be covered under the warranty. I called Husqvarna to find out why. I could not get an answer. They kept referring me to the place I bought it from. There was no way to escalate it. I am waiting for somebody to call me back to explain. I hope they will make it right. But be aware: Husqvarna does not honor the warranty they advertise on their website!

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.

Bought a Husqvarna 42 yard tractor June 2016. Has had transmission problems from day one. Now, its downright dangerous. Transmission will not disengage when you let off the gas. Have to hit the brake to stop it. This happens sporadically so you have zero warning to get the mower stopped. Finally scheduled a repair through the purchase place and they are charging me 200 bucks to pick it up. Worst lawn mower ever. Never again. I will never trust it again so Ill have to buy a new DIFFERENT brand and park this useless hunk of junk as a back up mower.

We have had nothing but trouble with the front axle on our Husqvarna lawn tractor. The dealer we purchased it from wont do anything because Husqvarna wont do anything. Husqvarna keeps saying it is something weve done, not their product. They said they had never had any other complaints. Definitely not true, complaints are everywhere about them.

I bought a garden tractor (Husqvarna 54 in cut) last year and with only 22 operating hours on it, it broke the belt for the cutting deck. It was not due to wear, the break was a clean break. At the time of the failure, the mower was sitting on a asphalt driveway and was not even cutting. Husqvarna says they will not replace it after 30 days. We bought this tractor partly due to the excellent warranty. Now we find out the warranty is so exclusive that we will probably never be able to use it. Never buying another Husqvarna!

After looking at reviews (greatest thing since sliced bread) I decided to purchase one of these (Husqvarna ST227P Snowblower), what a mistake. I have used the machine approx. 10x and have had it back to the dealership 7x. To date they have had to replace the carburetor -- machine would not keep running, replace the drive - would not go forward or backwards, belts broke second time I used it, gas lines split and leaked gas after the first season, plastic for the discharge chute controls snapped off and remember this is after only 10 uses. The dealership has had the machine more than I have. I attempted to exchange it for another machine and or have my money refunded but Husqvarna said no but they would extend the warranty for an additional 6 months and keep having it fixed until the warranty run out. In the meantime I have had to borrow a friends machine, pay to have our driveway plowed and shovel.The last time I took the machine in they had to replace the drive which took 2 months for the parts to arrive. Twice when I went to pick the machine up after being called because it was repaired I have had to leave it due to the machine breaking down when they were trying to load it on to my truck. I contacted Husqvarna who in turn contacted the dealership I purchased the machine from and were told that the gas lines leaked was due to me leaving old gas in it over the winter. Unbelievable.All of my equipment is winterized and some are 15 plus years old and have never had the gas line changed, what a joke!! It appears that Husqvarnas quality has gone and I will not be purchasing any more of their products. I currently own 2 of their chainsaws, both over ten years old and never an issue but speaking to friends who have purchase new ones they have had nothing but issues. At this point I am rooting for the greenhouse effect and we never get snow again!!! What a waste of $1698.00.

I purchased my push mower about 2 years ago and I have had problems from the first week. First the belt that drives the wheels keep falling off. After about 20 times of this, I played with the spacers in order to get it to stay on for more than a month. Then one of the handles that you use to start the drive broke. I cannot get just the plastic handle. I have to spend $70 to get the whole assembly plus the cable. I have yet to replace it.This last breakage was the final straw. The drive cable broke due to a bad design. The cable rubs against a spring and there is no way around it. There should have been some shielding to protect the cable. The cable cost $40, but it will break again in 2 years due to the design. I had my previous mowers for about 8-10 years on average. I have never had such problems in my life. I regret the day I purchased this mower. If someone gave me $100 for it, I would sell it in a heart beat. Due to the design, I will have constant issues with this mower.

Not going to write a long and very boring POOR ME letter here. I owned a Husqvarna zero turn mower for over 11 years. I decided it was time to buy a new one. BIG mistake. I paid $3.500 and it arrived with a broken deck. But since they took away my brand new zero turn mower, they will not tell me when I can have it back. It seems that after two weeks they might consider just giving me a new one since that is what I paid for. I have tried and tried and tried to go through channels but they are 100% useless. I will leave you with one message: DO NOT BUY a Husqvarna Zero Turn mower. You will (for sure) regret it right away.

The cutting deck only has difference of 1 from the highest to the lowest with the lift handle. The dealer I bought it from says it cant be raised because of belt alignment. It wont load on trailers unless I find a special place to load.

While greasing bearings I spotted a welded piece on spindle was broke loose. In looking at my parts booklet I noticed that a washer was missing thus causing friction, breaking weld. Offered to take spindle to dealer to see. (3 min job) Dealer wanted entire mower or they would not honor warranty (2 different dealers). Finally went online roughly $50. Bought parts. Will not buy Husqvarna products again. This was factory or dealer defect. Be prepared to haul entire mower to dealer. Every time. Warranty no good.

Front wheels fell off because of weak clips after 12 months mowing regular sized lawn. Charged me for repair as stated not covered by warranty. Well you wouldnt cover badly designed rubbish like this with a warranty or you would go out of business. After 18 months axle on rear right tyre broke, guess what their response was. Never buy this crap brand again.

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.

Worst Mower Ever. This thing has been nothing but problems. It never starts. If you want to throw away just under 2k, then buy this riding mower YTH22V46.

I bought my GTH 2248 XP with Kawasaki motor last spring. By August, I had to replace both coils and it is beginning to do the same thing again! Here goes more $$$ for a piece of junk. First and last Husky!

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.

Purchased Husqvarna Lawn Mower from Lowes within past two years. To date, has been in for repair 6 times for the same complaint (pukes gas upon start up). Fuel line replaced; Carb jets cleaned; Carb replaced; Fuel tank replaced (dealer found Filter Screen never installed at assembly). So far the initial purchase price has been exceeded by the cost of repair not to mention the inconvenience of no mower... Father-in-Law has cut my grass 5 times so far this season with his HRX Honda. Husqvarna dealer unable to resolve problem, but has offered to replace at cost. I have elected not to do any further business with Husqvarna and will be scrapping this LEMON.

Purchased Lawnmower new from local Lowes end of May. I only used it about 4 times to cut 1.5 acres of grass. Lawnmower stopped moving and was smoking. Wouldnt go forward or backward. Loaded it up and took to local distributor because I owned it 41 days and Lowes absolved themselves after 30 for floor model mowing equipment. Local distributor has mower for 31 days. Meanwhile, I have to pay someone $100/week for these 4 weeks to cut my grass. Fast forward to August 1, when I get Lawnmower back from repair and they explain they fixed the transmission. 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. I call the Husqvarna customer service line to try and seek resolution in the form of a replacement Lawnmower or my money back. Rep says he cant 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. What a terrible piece of equipment that I wasted $1900 on! I am so upset and discouraged by their laissez-faire attitude. Do Not Purchase this!

Bought new Husqvarna riding mower lgt2654, 1 year old. When it had 9 hrs on it ... would not start trans, slipping big piece of junk. No help from Husqvarna. Called several times. Lowes tried. Was gone for 4 months at repair shop. Came back with same problem... Always had a craftsman, no problem. Want a Husqvarna, nice looking tractor.. so I bought one. Big mistake. Never again.....

I purchased a McCulloch 42 inch riding mower that is made by Husqvarna. It has the same Intek Briggs & Stratton engine, and the salesman told me that it was essentially the same as the Husqvarna. Well, if it is, they are both undependable, and poorly made. The engine stalls every time that the blade is engaged. The battery died on the day that I bought it. It backfires, and is hard to start. I returned it for a refund on the first day because of all of the problems. After reading the reviews I am in at a loss as to what riding mower to buy that will be reliable and dependable. Any recommendations???

Husqvarna 240 chainsaw: Total junk... Couldnt get it started out of the box. Finally did, made very few cuts, died, wouldnt restart, replaced plug ignition mod, fuel filter. Torn completely down, re-gapped everything. Still, wont start. I wont buy Husqvarna again.

Husqvarna CTH194 Ride On Mower - Purchased the mower in France for 3750 Euros. Cut Grass 3 times and mandrel broke on all 4 lugs. Supplier said it was not covered by warranty. Purchased new one and fitted it myself. 2 cuts later, mower screeched to a halt with smoke coming from deck area. The small gear case assembly above the right pulley revealed exploded bearings (ALL MADE IN CHINA). The shop refuse to pay for it even though admitting it is a bad design. Proprietor of shop becoming more and more elusive. They tell me all that is covered by warranty is motor, chassis and gearbox. Hours on the clock 33.

My mower RZ4623 with extended warranty. The welds on the mower deck broke, mower 15 months old. Would not cover under warranty. I was told that they said theyre all breaking because mower was transported on a trailer???????? I picked it up with a trailer, nothing was said about it. The service center picked it up with a trailer, brought it back with a trailer. Apparently most of this model has the same problem. Its a factory defect and they wont own up to it.This mower is no good, their warranty is no good, and their reputation is no longer good. It is not hard to see this product should be recalled. Besides that, the mower deck rattles like crazy, belt flops around, and comes off. There was no grease in anything. Had to grease all before using. Seat is already cracking apart, loose bolts. I am TOTALLY disappointed in this mower. Money I spent on warranty was a waste. Money spent on the mower was a waste. They did say my ignition switch was covered under warranty (Oh yeah, that is going bad too). STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND COMPANY OR YOULL GET SCREWED. You have been warned. They are no longer the company of good products it used to be. VERY ANGRY. WOULD NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN. If Lowes was smart, they would stop selling them. It is making them look bad too.

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.

Purchased a Husqvarna #032414M040682 push lawn mower on July 23, 2014. Used 2 times and 2014. Attempted to start in 2015 and lawn mower failed to start. Took lawn mower back to Lowes and was told that the carburetor needed to be replaced and I needed to pay for it. Was told by Lowes Husqvarna refused the claim for repair.

Last year, it started... (what looks like oil leaking out of the exhaust-muffler) and it had dripped onto my concrete floor. It had smoked at times when engaging the blades - when the load was put on the engine. I called Lowes Advantage and filed a work order. They had a company that they use in Virginia to check it out. When I got it back, I read the work order and what was done. They did a service tune up on it. They changed the spark plugs, changed the oil and filter, and changed the air filter. Their paperwork and one of their employees said that they also sharpened the blades and detailed (cleaned up the mower). But, they didnt sharpen the blades or detail (clean the mower). The blades hadnt been sharpened and there was still oil residue on the muffler and chassis area. They said that I would have to pay for it. I called the Lowes manager and complained. I clearly said that I dont think its been fixed, that there seems to be an engine problem with the rings or the block. He said he would make a note of it and I didnt have to pay anything. Well, I didnt know what to do. What could I do?... Last week I mowed with it for about the fifth time since I had this done... Still the same oil looking leak as before. Yep, I think Ive been right the whole time, wasnt fixed... I just called 7-31-14 to complain again to Lowes Advantage. Theyre setting up someone to check it out again. I dont know if its the same company or not. I asked the person filing the phone complaint if theyve had similar complaints and she said yes. By the way, I bought two Husqvarnas at the same time from Lowes. And I bought extended warranties with each. The other one has been used the most though. But, now its starting to drip too. And all of the riding mowers that Ive bought new came from Lowes. An 18 HP 42 Murray Yard Machines MTD back in 1997. It was still mowing fine when I bought a 24 HP 50 Cub Cadet in 2004. Both were still mowing/running fine, but I sold them when I bought the two new Husqvarnas in 2012. Both have the Kohler Engines. Both 26 HP 54 cut...Since I bought them, Ive noticed that theyre putting Briggs Engines on them now... Have they had problems with the Kohler Engines? I paid good money for each... $2200.00-ish for the standard style riding mower and $2600.00-ish for the zero turn style riding mower... plus the warranties for each... And, when I first complained, I went to the Lowes store in person. No one really wanted to help me or they couldnt. They said that I would have to call the phone number on the mower... Well, it was the Lowes Advantage number. Couldnt they have helped me in the store, or called for me, or set up my complaint there in the store? I dont want to get stuck with a high dollar mower that isnt going to give me the service that I paid for... Sorry. Thanks, please advise... Im not going to check the attorney box below for me to be contacted yet. I will see if we can make this right first... Please help.

This blower is a lemon. From the start it was in need of repairs. I used it the first winter which it worked somewhat okay. The power steering on the left side was a little hard to work. In September of that year I had Fasco Appliance in Oshkosh, Wisconsin come and pick it up to check it over. That is when the problem started. When they brought it back there was no high speed. Fasco Appliance in Oshkosh said there was nothing wrong with it and that was it was supposed to run that slow. I had them pick it up again because I knew that it was wrong. They replaced the power steering cable and a belt. When I got it back the second time the speed was still slow and now when you released the auger lever it still kept on running.I then called Krueger Hardware in Neenah who picked it up from Neenah, who charged me a quarter of the pick up charge that Fasco did and Fasco is in Oshkosh. Krueger found that Fasco had put the auger belt on wrong and that it burnt the belt cover. Now this year on the first snow fall the high speed was gone again so I had Kruegers come and pick it up. They found that three of the seven bolts on the crank cover were loose and that caused a leak which dripped on the belts. They had to replace both of the belts. Fasco cause this too.Now on January 26, 2017 I find that the power steering on the left side is bad again. It almost takes two hands to activate it. So this is going to cost me more money. I am seventy years old and cant afford all these bills. What gets me mad is that I had a Sears Craftsman blower for ten years and all I put in it was gas, oil and the skid plates once. If I keep this blower that long I would have paid for it in repairs ten over. This blower new cost me $2197.77. The serial number is 081811m000136. Is there something wrong with this blower?

Do not ever buy a push mower from Husqvarna. 1st pull of string or last eventually the metal cover for shaft will break literally in half putting you or something in danger of being hit by 1/4 in steel and a good size chunk of it! Took it to certified lawn mower repair man. He said its common in these and almost everyone WILL do it eventually, so got it repaired. Found an old push mower for my small, flat yard and havent had a problem - got it free or Id burn down their factory! So Ill make $ selling to some idiot.

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.

First of all, I wish there was a choice of no stars (if you know what I mean) but since I have to, I will put 1 star. Last year, we purchased a Husqvarna lawn tractor YTH24k48. The battery had to be boosted off every time we used it. The tire went flat almost immediately. I bought this for my fiance (I wish now I would have purchased a John Deere). We have about an acre of flat yard to mow. For all of you who are insinuating that complainers here dont know what they are doing regarding operating a rider, thats hogwash.We have done all maintenance as is recommended in the manual (thats a positive we DID get one of those) to the specs as required oil, etc. Now the big problem: Hes on the mower mowing on flat grass and the lawn tractor starts shaking violently (we are very fortunate than no one was hurt) when suddenly he hears a big sound and he is hearing impaired. The blade falls off going into the ground making a half circle mark in the yard. We called Lowes where it was purchased (and no, for the know-it-alls, Lowes does not put them together; they remove them off a pallet and take them out of a box already assembled by the qualified Husqvarna team... not my problem). Now I called Lowes. I returned the mower to Lowes; I have owned it for 1 year 1 month so its still under warranty. Lowes sent the mower to Lanier someplace down in GA who of course works for Husqvarna. They have had the mower since May 15th; in a few days, it will be 4 weeks. Meantime grass is not getting shorter. Rider has been used a total of maybe 6 times mowing flat grass with nothing to hit. Now we are being told that the blade falling off is not a warranty issue (luckily he was not injured or we would have another issue). I dont know about you but I dont believe blades should just fall off any mower much less a $2000 mower used so little. Husqvarna mechanics, I am hearing through Lowes, are stating in their diagnostics report that the lawnmower hit something. The only possibility of anything being hit would have been a clump of grass, a small stick, or possibly though not likely a small rock of which none should make the blade fall off and so violently.We are waiting for a return call from Husqvarna (they have not returned my calls and when I call them, I am put on hold for long periods of 30 minutes or more). There is no customer service from Husqvarna. Lowes corporate office customer service has called me and appears genuinely nice but is he really concerned? We will see. I am waiting. We know many people that would be prospective buyers of Husqvarna lawnmowers. If I have anything to say about it, I will be sure to sway them away from these horrible products. I wish that I had found this site before purchasing such a piece of crap. Oh and by the way, I also purchased a Husqvarna push mower style weedeater. It worked great for a few weeks and suddenly quit and will not crank or anything so thats next to go back. Im not feeling good about any of this due to the way things have been handled so far. What happened to good ole fashioned customer service? Husqvarna is willing to lose potential customers and many sales rather than admit to poor quality and spend a little to fix their shoddy products. Buyers beware, steer way clear of Husqvarna products especially lawn mowers. Im very angry and disappointed.

Husqvarna (46-in, 21-hp, YTH21K46): Its 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.

Briggs engine smokes and uses more oil than gas. Its 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 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.

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. I paid $1,100 for this factory defect saw and would be lucky to get half of that for this saw that has burned up twice. I asked for a refund or a new power head but Husqvarna would do neither. They said it would still be covered under warranty, but I would rather be cutting logs than waiting for repair service. At this point, I do not trust this saw that has been exposed to extreme heat twice and have to baby the saw or take a loss and sell it. Husqvarna did not do me right and I will never purchase a Husqvarna product again. If you are considering purchasing a Husqvarna, be forewarned.

DONT BUY THIS MOWER!!!! Poor design. Put blades to close to roof of the deck and grass sticks and builds. While it compresses it hardens... It does not throw the grass out from under the deck! We bought one last summer and the grass sticks to the underside ceiling of the mowing deck, causing serious damage to the bearings and belt. Now I have to jack it up. Get underneath, take a ridged 3 putty knife after every other use and chisel out hardened (Concrete like) grass clippings. It is not an easy chore for anybody to do. You should not have to do this every 2 weeks after spending 3 grand on a mower.

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!

Ive bought a 1998 350 and a 2008 445 chainsaws this year. Ive had the privilege of finally getting a 2009 455 Rancher last month, all from pawnshops this year because thats all I can afford. They all have been well used and abused, I fixed a few things, disassembled them, cleaned them and they all run every time a need one to feed myself. I looked at all the boards and all the reviews and I think some of the bad reviews are from people that have no experience with simple repairs. Ive had an oil pump failure on the 350, I pulled the pump, cleaned it. Replaced the $8.00 plastic gear and moved on with my life. I didnt pay $120 to a service center or get upset and post a angry review calling all Husqvarnas junk. I can not speak to the quality of a new saw because I never had one but I can personally speak for the used Husqvarna saws with some personal information about my own situation. Im happy with the ones a have and my new 455 Rancher....well new to me. The 455 is a beast. Its my pride and joy. I love it and we have a great relationship. I care for it and treat it like its my child. I give it only the proper fuel and oil and bath it regularly at the end of the day before bed. Its leaks some oil but hey, what 5 yr old child doesnt leak overnight? In return it allows me to WORK, this winter it will keep me warm. If you pay $419.00 plus tax for a saw and you have problems with it I can understand being a little angry but dont trash Husqvarna because the product went down or is having an issue, at least you didnt have to work all month to buy a used one at a pawnshop. If I ever get a new 455 Ill let you know what quality it is in ten years because I wont be complaining to a dealer or a forum about how my toy broke and mommy wont buy me a new one and they all are junk because mine broke. If you dont like you new junk saw send it my way and Ill send you a picture of it in ten years when Im still using it. Oil pumps go down, bolts fall out, my favorite I heard was the saws are junk. If they all are junk then how come I paid my child support this week with my well used junk? Junk doesnt pay your bills. The information forums should be for information not venting... Wait thats what Im doing 8-(. I guess because when I hear someone say all are junk because the one that was GIVEN as a gift to me wasnt perfect I get a little angered. Again if you do not like your new 455 Ill take it off your hands gladly. For people who are truly having problems out of your new saws I truly feel for you, I have the advantage of never being able to afford an overpriced shop repair bill so when one goes down I fix it myself very simply. Cost me little of nothing because my labor is free and the saw was already well used so I didnt take the hit as hard as you did. If you will ask some of the people on the forums how to fix your problem, Im sure most of those guys would be very happy to help and the people putting Husqvarna chainsaw repair videos on YouTube makes most repair tasks very simple. Again I see the biggies in the Husqvarna saw is the cheap plastic oil gear but hey it does say Rancher on the side and not xp. Husqvarna provided a product for $400 and it is a good $400 product, notice I didnt say $1000 product? All in all I would buy another 455 Rancher in a minute if I come across one, in fact if I can get an opportunity to get a brand new one later this year you better believe Ill jump on it because I trust the product. In fact I trust it so much Ill bet my next meal on it....oh wait I do.

I purchased and received a new Husqvarna chainsaw at the end of June. I used it three time cutting fallen trees in my yard. I was using it at the end of August just two months old and it stopped working. I was mid cut when it felt as if the engine seized. I followed all of the manufacturers requirements. I went to Lowes where I purchased it and they do not cover outdoor power equipment if it has been used. They said the manufacturers warranty was good for three months. They sent it to what they I understood to be Husqvarna but it was a repair vendor for them in conjunction with Lowes.They called and said it was an internal part some type of coolant air conductor which was broken and would not be covered. They also said the carb was dirty. I questioned the warranty and even though it was an internal issue, it was not covered. They said they would fix it for a total of $98.14. I told them to send it back. They billed the machine as being covered under warranty but it isnt.

I purchased a Huskee... did not get a chance to use it as the deck was set too low making it unsafe to run. I paid someone to come out and turns out that the carburetor is needing replacement. Mind, this is a new mower. For me, I would not buy one again.

Husqvarna leaf blower - Like any brand the machine blows leaves, but once you stop it you pay hell trying to start a hot machine. Ive had to borrow my neighbors blower (different brand) to finish the job. Even though this machine is only about a year old, Im going to buy a new one (different brand).

Have a Z254 Zero Turn. Great mower and very reliable so far. Easy upkeep and easy DIY fixing of the mower. Need to change oil and fluids after 5-8 hours after buying it to keep it operating well. Easy clean. System works well after use and mower has started without issue every time since purchasing it.

We bought the weed trimmer at Lowes after comparing many brands and styles. I already owned a Husqvarna leaf blower and have been very pleased. The weed trimmer was light, quiet, and very easy to use. The string feed is a major improvement over other styles offered by other manufacturers. It only takes a light push on the ground to advance the string. It starts easily and has a lot of power for a 2 cycle. I will definitely purchase other power tools from Husqvarna in the future.

We bought a Husqvarna RZ46i Zero-Turn Mower at Lowes 4 years ago and its been nothing but a headache. Weve had carburetor issues, blade issues and the Smart Switch is always an issue. Today the Smart Switch popped, caught on fire and smoked. Luckily it didnt hit my hand. Now we cant start and use the mower unless we pay $250 for a new switch. Garbage is what I would call this machine and its dangerous garbage.

LGT 6254 - My 84 year old dad had an incident. Mower caught fire. Fire dept came to ensure woods nearby werent burned down. Hes 84 and has COPD. This was very stressful to him. He loved this mower. Dont know how it caught fire either. Purchased May 2008. Tuned up last year 2013.

No parts support at all from retailer (Lowes) or Husqvarna themselves! Do not buy this mower. Looking for trouble if you get one! Mine has been silently sitting for over a month now waiting for someone to manufacture a steering shaft for it.

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! Lowes 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 dont buy Husqvarna. If you feel you must, dont buy it from Lowes. Disgusted...

I bought a new Husqvarna Zero turn Model RZ5426. I bought this larger scale because I have about 2 acres to mow. It has just over 4 hours on the machine. It has been in the shop more than it has been at my home. The first thing I never liked is they cut sloppy cut. I figured I could buy better blades, not a big thing. First time I was mowing this summer, I broke of a blade bracket. I ran over tree branch, not big by no means, but it broke it off in many pieces. I had that repaired and after trying it again, I broke another bracket off in less than an hour. And after talking to the Husqvarna dealer, all they said was it was a common problem. I got that back home and began using it and I noticed a lot of deck noise. After checking things out, I found a belt pulley completely worn off. I checked the others and they are all very badly worn, as well as the teeth on the blade brackets. So now, the dealer is basically rebuilding my deck I only have 4 hours on it. I have tried calling Husqvarna customer service all they do is make a report and send it to this so called Army Answer group whos supposed to handle their complaints and answer questions. I have left 3 questions with them and not one has been answered yet. Have left a bad review of the model of mower I have and that was rejected. I have not gotten any reply back from Husqvarna and am very angry with all the problems Im having. I believe its a flaw in the mover or very cheap parts. I do know that the pulleys are made out of very cheap extremely thin metal. I cant see how that would last at all. Every time I take it back, all they can do is replace the crap with the same cheap junk they had in the first place. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. If I could find stronger parts that would fit this deck, I would spend the money. All I know is Husqvarna will not stand behind this product at all. I cannot find any emails for Husqvarna. All they have is Answer Army which is a complete joke. If you have any idea what I can do, please let me know.

I bought my mower less than a year ago. The 4WD self-propelling mower worked great! First summer. Now the POS wont start, cleaned carb, spark plug, new gas, oil etc. Wont start. Lowes said they couldnt help me without a receipt. Arent you guys a big enough company to have a system where you can pull me up?! So aggravated. My electric non-propelled mower that was 20+ years worked 1000 times better than this mower. And that thing was free! Regretting my purchase. Will never buy another nor shop at Lowes.

On 6/06/2011, I purchased a Husqvarna LGT2554. I used it once, and then it would not start. No fuel at carburetor. Lowes 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 Lowes for the repair center; I was given a wrong number. I called Lowes again and was told if I wanted it picked up for repair. I should have bought a John Deer. I still have not gotten a number for a warranty repair. Next time, I will buy a John Deer. I do not have any way to get this thing to a repair shop. No name and number for a repair shop. I dont know of any place to purchase parts to repair for myself. I just wanted you to know that your high-priced piece of junk is just that. I am a businessman in Tulsa, OK and I assure you, everybody I come in contact with will be made aware of my problem and the quality of your product.

I had the same experience as Nico from Chico-starting a new business, I went to Lowes and got the Rancher. I took it back and got a new one because it didnt start. I have been putting up with stubborn starts since March. Today I wasted half an hour wearing myself out before I called the customer care number. I waited on hold another half hour, so I put the speaker on and spent that time trying to start it. Right now I am waiting for the manager to call back. That just lost me a lucrative job for the day. Now I have to call and postpone a landscape job because I am waiting for this callback.In April I purchased the Husky 525LK commercial trimmer and the PA100 pole saw attachment. I scheduled some jobs which I had to cancel because when I tested it, the pole saw chain would not turn. I took it to the dealer, which is Montana Power Products (who have also looked at the 455 and couldnt find anything wrong, and they agreed it was hard to start). They said it had the wrong sprocket. That is, the genius on the factory floor grabbed a sprocket that was probably in a bin in an entirely different part of the factory on a separate line for a smaller product and put it on a commercial product. What kind of idiot does Husqvarna hire? Maybe I should apply for a job THERE!Because so far, this has lost me probably $6000 in lost wages, not to mention preventing me from working around my own house. They tell me no when I ask if I dont have a reasonable expectation that my big-ticket items will work. The tractor is nice. I was surprised I didnt have to take it back the first time I tried to use it, though. I am asking them for compensation and will pursue a small claim.

On April 1st, 2012, we purchased Tractor Husqvarna Model YTH24K48 from Lowes 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 Lowes (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 Husqvarnas rude service. Once again I was impressed with Lowes customer service. I know I purchased a bad product ($2K+) but I dont blame Lowes. On the contrary, Ill continue to buy there any product without hesitation. Caveat Emptor. Its my fault; I should have done more research, i.e. on this site!

I was informed by Husqvarna district rep. (via dealer) 5-21013, that reason for delayed shipment on my (ordered) GT54LS tractor is that the engine component for the unit is unavailable. What? Did Husqvarna grind such a deal with Briggs and Stratton on these motors? That B&S cant (or wont) honor its commitment or were they closeouts to begin with? I have never, in 60 years of life, heard of anything like this! Is Husqy going to discontinue the model, update it with substitution engine and reintroduce in the fall (2014 MY)? And are they going to (be able to) support those already out-there? More convinced than ever that Ive made an error in judgment.

Fuel is leaking into the oil pan, causing the engine to smoke and stop running. How do I fix this? Thanks.

The very highest setting on my mower cuts too low. It is about 2.5 inches. Certified Service business says everything is up to spec. I have seen posts that I may need a new tire size. Husqvarna is non-responsive. Not sure where to go from here. And Yes, the tires are properly inflated.

We are a dealer for Briggs, Kohler, Mtd, Speeco, Honda, Dolmar, Echo & Grasshopper. When I inquired to Husqvarna about being a dealer, they sent their representative to our facility. He looked it over & said, Well, its not conducive to the facility that we want to see. The funny thing is about twenty miles away, he signs up an Amish guy with a much smaller showroom than we have & gives him a dealership. Whats right about that? I guess I didnt realize that Husqvarna discriminates who can be a dealer & who cannot depending on your heritage.

Bought a new DRT900H rototiller three weeks ago. Upon assembly I discovered a damaged recoil spring. Husqvarna customer (no)service wouldnt help because the engine was Honda manufactured. I was told to contact Honda. Honda service told me to contact a local dealer. Local dealer is filing a warranty claim. Three weeks later and I still cant run the rototiller. Ill never buy from Husqvarna again with this type of customer no-service! I got more support from Amazon than from Husqvarna.

I purchased a new O turn at the beginning of the season. The very first time I mowed it bent a push rod. Didnt even get my yard mowed all the way. Mower had 4 hours on it and when it was delivered it had over 2. The dealership I purchased from wanted to charge me for pick up so I called a different one and thankfully they were great and didnt charge that. Still though. EVERY TIME I mow, the belt comes off as soon as I turn the blades on. I oil the blades every time before I mow. I baby the mower. I had had this dealership come get it 3 times now. They put a new belt on it, they adjusted the blades, nothing has helped. It started sneaking while in motion at about 10 hours. Only one of the headlights work. I could go on and on. IT is a Lemon. I have called Husqvarna. They just tell me to call the dealer. What happens when my warranty is up? My brother has had the same mower for 4 years, just an older version, never one issue. This is just ridiculous. If I wanted these problems I could have bought old used mower. Thats what I feel like I have. I have not mowed the yard one time without a problem.

This riding mower is one of the Top-of-the-line Hydro mowers Husqvarna sells. 54 inch cut. The front wheels keep falling off and presenting a very dangerous situations. The spring clips that hold the washers and wheel on just destroy themselves with no warning even after keeping the entire environment well lubricated, above and beyond what is required. I have over 30 years’ experience maintaining my mowers, mostly riding mowers. This is a factory defect in manufacturing and Husqvarna needs to provide free replacement of defective parts. If not, I will never buy another Husqvarna product (I have a fair amount) and will make sure everyone I communicate with will know my recommendation. I will let you know what I find. Consumers beware!

In 2006, I bought a 42 Craftsman LT3000 built by Husqvarna. It has the single cyl. Briggs 20HP Intek Plus I/C motor and Hydr. trans. I mow 3 large yards with it. Once I ride my mower 5 blocks to get to pull a wagon holding a push mower and trimmers etc. In 7 years, here’s what’s been done other than oil/greased/filters/sharp blades each season.First issue at 4 years old: In 2010, I replaced deck belt - squealed in damp grass/still cuts but was annoying. In 2011 replaced blades with Gator Mulch blade. Wish I done it when it was new. Great blades cut much better than OEM! In 2012, I replaced the battery. In 2013, changed right front tire out – it kept leaking – That’s it! It’s been a wonderful mower and has never leaked/used any oil.1) I keep grass off its deck because that shortens belts/pulley life. 2) I remove the battery and battery tray at the end of every season to charge and clean grass away from fan on top of rear end because grass buildup blocks air and over heats hydro rear ends. Did you know there’s a fan under your butt? It’s not to dissipate farts… LOL. 3) I grease all steering gears/axle zerks and change oil every spring or fall. 4) Turn gas off and run carb dry every fall to keep gas from gumming up in carb. 5) I keep tires aired up.This is all Ive ever done to keep my Husqvarna going... It’s really all maintaining the mower. Grass buildup can cost one a lot of money in repairs. It’s very important to clean it off your deck/hydro. I have a friend who has the LT2000 model a few years older than mine. He was surprised I had to replace the deck belt. He still has his original belts on his after 10 years or more. But like I said, it still cuts fine. It annoyed me squealing in damp grass. I cut grass early morning its cooler.I know Kohlers had cracked blocks. They started making their motors in China years ago. Ive had Briggs and Kawasaki. I prefer Kawasaki but the wife and wallet makes me buy the Briggs. It’s been a fantastic mower and Id buy another one like it in a flash... shocked to see so many bad issues on them here. I also have a Husqvarna weed eater (Lowe’s) that Ive used 3 years now without a failed start on 2nd-3rd pull. Runs great! Hope I helped someone?BTW: Cracked frames you read about. It’s usually from larger riders riding them up ramps loading them in trucks/trailers. It happens to about every brand of mower. If you’re big, say 225+ lbs, do not ride mowers up the ramp. Push it up! A JD dealer told me that years ago when I owned one of those. JD, now those are problem mowers… $$$.

I bought this mower a year ago and it was fine. Now I have to fight with it to get it started. When it runs its fine but getting it started is a pain.

LGT 2654 54 Husqvarna Breaking Frame - In response with my review of Husqvarna, yes, it is still junk and the company has too many lemons, but Lowes did return our money after five months and they did not have to (according to policy), but managers did agree they were junk! They came and got their junk and gave us a full refund! Thank you Lowes for taking care of your customers!

You name it. Tractor wont start with new battery. Wont stay running for more than half hour. Manufacturer says dont start off a vehicle but had no choice - only way to mow grass. Their website is useless and not surprised they get such a low consumer satisfaction rate. Dont buy Husqvarna.

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.

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!

Every lawn tractor I have owned is a dead-man design; take your foot off the pedal and the machine stops its movement forward or back. This new machine of mine is operated by a lever on the fender, and keeps moving until the lever is moved to neutral, or the brake is engaged. Which responds as though encountering a wall. So, I have a question; how did the Consumer Protection folks let this design pass review? Any thoughts?

Always garage kept and maintained. All this within 8 years and $8000 invested in two Husqvarna Y48 riding mowers. The first mower after couple hours of use wouldnt start. The steering has become loose with play, can turn steering 1/4 turn before engaging wheels - no fix. Replaced all deck wheels and front roller - twice. Front bracket and main bracket for rear axle broke after 4 years. Seat material split open. Difficult to maintain good and level cut with deck. On many occasions, I had blades fall off due to spindle bolts loosening up and falling out. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. IM BUYING A JOHN DEERE X700 SERIES NEXT.

I purchased a PZ60, top of the line zero turn. Costing only $10,500.00 for a lawn mower, and two backpack blowers. Two days of using the first backpack blower, it started acting up, no power. Took it back for service, needs a carb. Week later, its ready to go. Ten minutes of use, no power. Needs a gas cap. The top of the line mower blows a belt at 75 hours and has blown three in six months. Belts are $110.00 a piece but they are covered under warranty for now. Second blower now needs a gas cap because its leaking all over. Again, covered by warranty. First blower has been setting in the garage and hasnt been used. But the reason Im writing this is because the second blower has just completely come apart and the service guy said to throw it in the trash. Husqvarna replaced it under warranty with a new one. Thats all well and good but its been a huge inconvenience and what happens when the warranty runs out. Im screwed. I want my hard earned cash back.

I’ve had this mower for years and it still cuts grass as if I just bought blade is still sharp and it’s easy to use. My father bought it for my very large yard since 2004 and I am still using it. No service needed.

Bought AWD Husqvarna mower at Ace Hardware less than 2 years ago. Brought it home, gassed it up and would not start. Took it back and they messed with it and put premium no ethanol gas in it. Back home it started. I rarely use this mower as a yardman usually mows my lawn, but I use it to tidy up. The mower has been used maybe 4 times. I have used it once this year on 05-10-2015 and tried to use it today 05-22-2015. The AWD is not working. The cable is loose and will not empower the AWD. The thing is impossible to push without the AWD. This mower has not worked properly from the git-go and I should have asked for my money back. Now I have to somehow load this heavy thing up and take it to a repair shop. I am 75 years old and wish I had bought a cheap mower from Wal-Mart as I have done in the past and had no problems with them, plus Wal-Mart will return your money if returned in a timely manner. Ace did not want to do this and they are local and I live in a small town, but I should have stood my ground and insisted on a refund.

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.

I bought the Husqvarna Brand 125B leaf blower thinking I was buying quality, but I was awakened by the fact that this company doesnt 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 couldnt 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!

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 cant 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 Husqvarnas 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.
