I bought a 2011 model 46 riding mower that spring from Lowes. Ran it about an hour and it shredded the belt. Called Lowes and they were happy to bring me a new mower (same model), which wasnt too bad. My current mower has 45 hours on it and Ive replaced the belt, replaced the left mandrel assembly, new blades, and now I have to replace the mandrel pulley. Not to mention soft tires that have been repaired, mis-adjusted choke assembly and a deck that will not remain adjusted. I will not buy another Husqvarna.

I purchase a new Husqvarna 54 inch 26 hp mower. Everything works good except I get a vibration when I am mowing. This happens only when I put it under load like 5 or 6 inches of grass. It has done it from day one, I have 3 hours on it. I was thinking that it might be the blades because it looks like it mulches up the grass rather than just cutting it.

Bought a new Husqvarna lawn tractor Model 960450049. The tractor had less than 5 hours running time. I started the mower to put in the shed, within about 30 yards of travel it caught on fire, quit running and burned completely. Reported the problem to Lowes. They said they would contact me back in a couple of days. Its been 2 weeks, heard nothing.

Purchased LGT 2654 lawn tractor from Lowes. The first year I had it nothing but problems, and every year since. Transmission quit pulling after it get hot, axle broke, hard to start. Lowes, Husqvarna, Tuff Torque, should of been made to recall this piece of junk. I thought we had a Consumer Affairs Dept. to protect the public from CON men.

I have this mower just over 1 year and it has spent six months of that in the repair shop! I went out to mow this evening and it will not start! Battery and starter is working fine; its just not starting! My last two mowers were John Deeres and they are still running and over twenty years old! The Husqvarna didnt have one year on it and I started having breakdowns with it!! As soon as it is repaired, this time it is going to get sold and I will buy a John Deere, Toro or Snapper! - Something with known reliability and not another pile of junk like this Husqvarna RZ3016 30-Inch!!

POS. First cant reverse without shutting off mower (Husqvarna 46 Rider w/ lg bags) or unengaging blade which causes unneeded stress on drive belt being engaged off and on (a lot!). Lever to engage/unengaged slams your right knee cap! OW! Safety??? Bagging SUX! Bought large bags. They are terrific. Problem is the mower clogs constantly. Wet or Dry = clog. Short or tall = clog. Small twig = clog. I spend more time with this crappy mower then I ever did with my old Sears on the Fender shifter. Takes me an EXTRA HOUR to mow my 1 acre. Tires? SUCK! Small uphill grade and the tires just spin. DO NOT BUY this mower unless you like frustration and have a great deal of time you dont need.

I purchased Husqvarna GHT2754 garden tractor 9 years ago from a local dealer. The first year all was well. The second year a pulley bracket broke. Brought the tractor to the dealer for repairs. Was told the tractor was out of warranty so I would have to pay for any repairs. The third year a similar thing happened. Dealer told me he feels the mower deck was under-designed for its size, (54). Would have been nice to know before purchase. Repairs were made. Later that year or possibly the next the deck broke for the third time. Again this was a pulley mount. This time the dealer asked if I would mind if he sent it to a friend who has experience fixing farm equipment. A year passed with no problems but the next year the mower deck front mounting plate broke. I was so frustrated I had a friend fabricate a reinforced part and weld it. Last year the steering stopped working. When disassembled the plastic bearing had failed and wore through the steel mount. Again a new much stronger mount and bearing were fabricated and installed. Yesterday while installing a new drive belt I found the bracket for yet another pulley was cracked to the point it will need to be welded and reinforced as well. Each time I had a failure it cost me time and money to make repairs, hire someone else to cut my grass and even pay to have the dealer pickup the tractor to bring in for repairs. I wish I had kept better records and photos because I think I would be talking to a lawyer regarding this. I should have researched Husqvarna better prior to buying this tractor. I would have been far better off and money ahead, if I had hired a lawn service these past 9 years. My recommendation is to stay away from Husqvarna products unless you enjoy spending your free time rebuilding poorly designed and manufactured products.

Bought my zero turn in July 19 by Aug. 19. The wheel on the deck fell off. The retailer sold me a new bolt and said its a common problem. After 3 more bolt replacement I ask for a new deck with double brackets (the 2020 model) to hold the wheel on. Husqvarna refused. The service center feels they are using any excuse they can not to pay a claim. Ive tried to escalate but they refuse to listen or forward me to a higher authority.

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.

Model YTH2454 riding mower. One month and one week after warranty is done the mower decides it wants to have the rear axle separate (break) away from the rest of the mower and roll down my driveway unstoppable. I could have died that day. Called them about it and they say I need to call an authorized dealer to have it looked at to see if it can be fixed at my cost. They also say there is no recall and that there is no problem of their fault because the warranty has run out.

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.

Well, I will join the crew who unfortunately purchased a Husqvarna riding mower.. and at Lowes.. A double whammy for sure. First out of the gate with glee mowing the 1.8 acres we own. All great! Then the next time I get on to mow.. the front tires are FLAT! This has continued for two seasons and now in the third. Visited the Lowes where purchased.. nobody or even has a suggestion.. This being three weeks after purchase. They say I need to buy new wheels? LOL yeah right. They say they have no interest in helping and I should contact Husqv.. Yeah that worked.. They said go to the Lowes.. LOL Well, here we are third season.. go to the shop to get the mower spruced for Spring.. FLAT tires of course.. NEVER. NEVER again will I EVER buy Husqvarna ANYTHING or Lowes for that matter. Finished, done.. all gone. I am buying a new JD at the end of this season.. Selling off the crap and going for the gold standard. And I will shout it out to all I know, see, hear. etc.. this sucks.

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.

We purchased a Husqvarna riding mower from Lowe’s in Gloucester, Virginia. From the beginning it would throw the blade belt unusually when you turned off the mower but sometimes when running. According to Lowe’s this was a known defect and after several unsuccessful fixes from Lowe’s we were told all we could do was send it to service. (NOTE: There are more than complaints on this subject here is but one: **).The unit was sent to ALTAQUIP in Dunn, NC. Who surely did not read the service tag as they stated “Belt had to be replaced and out of warranty.” Certainly the belt had to be replaced it kept flying off, nevertheless they claimed the reason was the deck was dirty. The only reason the deck was slightly dirty a demonstration had been performed for the driver from the service center. The question was asked, “How could you mow the lawn if the deck getting dirty caused the belt to come off”. No response was given! Lowe’s against my wishes paid the bill.Upon receipt of the unit and in front of Lowe’s personnel the mower was run and when turned off the belt came off. The unit was returned to the service center. This time they claimed the reason the belt came off was the deck was uneven. (Nothing had changed if the deck was uneven now it was the first time!) They again replaced the belt though they did not charge for it. Again, against my wishes Lowe’s paid the bill. Upon receipt of the unit and in front of Lowe’s personnel the mower was run and when turned off the belt came off. Showing the unit to a local service center authorized to work on Husqvarna but not conduct warranty work we were told there was no way either reason would cause the belt to come off ; further recommending we stay with authorized service centers. It was then found as previous noted that this problem was a latent defect and this was the recommended repair; “On the mower deck, you will see an idler pulley that maintains proper tension on the belt at all times. As the belt stretches, the spring-loaded idler pulley applies more tension on the belt. Due to this, there is no reason to complete routine tensioning maintenance on this mowers belt. However, there is a built-in lever that allows you to apply or release tension to the belt to engage or disengage the drive belt. This lever turns the mower blades on and off. When you disengage the drive belt, it causes enough slack in the belt to allow the belt to slip off the main drive pulley, preventing the blades from continuing to spin. Without the ability to adjust the belt tension, you could never turn off the blades, which would cause a safety risk as well as require you to replace your belt much more often.The recommend fix has not helped the problem. I believe the company should refund the fees paid by Lowe’s and consider review current manufacturers manuals, know defect and repairs with their service personnel. That Lowe’s exercises better control over their subcontractors. Since the situation described above the unit now will not move, the engine runs fine. I am disabled so regardless of what the problem was I would in all likelihood not be able to repair it. I dont know what I was thinking but because of the description Hydrostatic transmission I assumed the mower had some type transmission; I was wrong it had a drive belt. I can only assume like the mower drive belt it had tension issues the mower has yet to reach a maintenance point. Anyway this time it was another $146.00 to replace that belt which the company paid once again.I tried to argue with the box company that for a company be in Carolina and for them to handle, stockpile mowers from across Virginia until they have enough to ship has to have built in a wide profit margin, couldnt they find local service centers? That is another issue the mower will be gone three + weeks. I am amazed in a company that made a public announcement they were going to concentrate on Customer Service acts like this they must have meant another company!

Recently I had a great friend of mine suffer a terrifying injury from a Husqvarna z560 Zero Turn Lawn Mower. I was wondering if anyone owns a Husqvarna zero turn mower that has or had the capability to move on its own or ever went in reverse without any control? Another.. Has anyones mower ever moved when getting up out of the seat or is/was capable of moving when getting out of the seat? Any insight would be of great help! Thank You.

Purchased this from Morgan Equipment. I bought my last rider close to 20 years ago so once I got past the sticker shock I compared what I think are the top 2 Husqvarna and John Deer. I didnt like how the JD controls worked and some on its construction seemed less quality. HV was a lot more machine for the price, solid unit with a top end Kawasaki engine. For the same engine, JD was about $200 more. Now that Ive had it for a few mowing I like the Husqvarnas operation and it give a good mow. It fast and gives a good mow.

Tough machine that does the job. This mower is easy for a woman to use. Will go over small sticks in the yard and large swatch covers lawn quickly. Plus it looks cool.

Does not mulch... belts that control the all wheel drive get clogged no matter if the setting of the lawnmower is low or high. Shouldnt have to mow your grass more than once. The lawn looks terrible when Im finished mowing.

I got a new Husqvarna LGT2554. It will not cut low without dragging the deck in the dirt. I had it looked at Buchheit of Sparta. They said it needs new drop blades to cut lower. It leaves my grass about 5 inches tall. It has 9 hours on it and it needs new blades? For $2,200, I didnt get much or did I? I am very pissed off!!!

I bought a Z254F Husqvarna mower from Lowes right at 2 years ago. It served me well until recently. $3400 mower and 2 years of use is not good. But, I have a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty and lifetime warranty on the mower deck which along with the good name from manufacturer, I was sold. My mower deck is in very bad shape and nothing that I could do to be responsible for it. Husqvarna said it was a maintenance issue. I will enclose photos if I can. Their customer service is a guy behind a phone in Manilla telling me they wont honor my warranty. Husqvarna really sucks! I will spread the word to the moon and back.

Long story short I got a leaf blower 2 yrs ago as a gift and last week it stopped working. Went to check the fuel filter and it was never installed at the factory. Ordered a new push primer button kit and spark plug. Would stay running. Carb needs to be pulled and clean. Due to the fact that the company is putting out poor quality product I put the leaf blower in the garbage. I would rather rake leaves than own any products from this company.

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 mowers 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. On 5/1/2012, the mower stopped working. I returned it to Sears and they told me it was yet again a problem with the Carburetor. It was repaired and returned to me on 5/19/2012. I have since purchased a Toro lawn mower. On 10/6/2012, I decided to use the Husqvarna and the mower stopped running after a short period of time. I will not be returning it to Sears; I know what the problem is. Based on the number of problems with the same component and the constant returns and long periods of time without a mower, I would not recommend the purchase of a Husqvarna lawn mower.

A one year old lawn mower has broken. A very shoddy made part, which sells quite well on eBay by many sellers for a low price, yet cant get the warranty repair needed. Will pick up the mower tomorrow, either take it somewhere else to be repaired, or bring it home, order the part from eBay and repair it myself. Husqvarna warranty is no good if the warranty repair shop wont do it. Warranty shop is in Opp Alabama.

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.

This is the WORST garden tractor I have ever owned, period. Mine had 3 hours on it when, on a flat grass field, the Weldment Front Deck Suspension Husqvarna part # 574822501 separated from deck and started tearing (ploughing) the grass, while it was badly bent as the result of going backwards for just a couple feet. I stopped operating and removed the Weldment Front Deck Suspension. It costs $61 to $100 to replace... but Im bringing it to the dealer as I suspect my garden tractor could be a LEMON, because of the following additional problems:As mentioned before, the fabricated deck is very heavy and thus the tractor consumes a lot of gasoline and is hard to drive. This tractors deck shaves the soil on every small bump instead of adjusting and cutting the grass properly. No matter how high or low the deck is raised/lowered, it just does not work right. The deck goes straight on a slight slope and cuts the grass unevenly. Steering wheel is a joke and the covering on it slides down preventing me from concentrating on what I should be doing, which is mowing the grass! No... I must watch the steering wheel and the cover on it keeps on sliding down! Plus the steering wheel is not exactly round and is hard to turn.The entire tractor is hard to handle because it is too heavy for the engine and too awkward made and it gulps gasoline by a bucket! Prepare a lot of gasoline to mow your field with this one! The left (clutch) pedal is jerking already while idling. Something is wrong. I dont know what. The battery could not handle the starting and died. Took too long to start it and so I bought a new batter already!This is a major one - while mowing grass on a flat and level field (had 3 hours on it) the Weldment Front Deck Suspension Husqvarna part # 574822501 separated from deck and started ploughing or tearing the grass, while it was badly bent. I stopped operating immediately when I noticed that and removed the Weldment Front Deck Suspension. It costs $61 to $100 to replace... but Im bringing it to the dealer as I suspect my garden tractor could be a LEMON. My first one GT52XLS had to be returned as it was spitting lots of oil and the engine kept dying. I had quite an effort (struggle) trying to get a replacement! Now this is my second one, again multiple problems!Hard to start when cold. Much harder than my older, smaller Husqvarna. I overpaid for it by at least $250. Cost wise this product is unsatisfactory. Rearing this tractor is a joke, because the deck grass shoot protector is only made to go drive forward. When you drive backwards, the black rubber shoot protector keeps on jumping up and down like crazy unless you bend over and hold it up with a hand risking getting stones into your face. The whole tractor is awkward to drive and handles rather like a stump. And did I mention the consumption of gasoline on it is through the roof! No wonder it got a 5 gallon tank!The deck lift has weird and confusing numbering on it and is hard to operate. It gets stuck and I cant lower it or raise it to the max. It is just plain weird. And this is a new tractor with 3 hours on it! One of the wheels on the tractor is wobbling and it feels like it is going to fall off soon! The rear push or drive wire is so thin and looks so out of place with this rather large garden tractor. Why not designs something that looks and feels good? The entire thing wants to go straight when I turn. The deck drives it straight and down into the ground. It feels really weird operating this tractor, as if I was driving a stump and the steering wheel feels like it is badly dented and is wrapped with some soft material that prevents me from mowing the grass properly!This is a COMPLETE FAILURE of a product and I demand my money back or another product of my choice. HUSQVARNA refuses to replace it with a new one either. They say it is my fault that the weldment suspension separated from a deck. Yes! My fault for mowing grass with it! I should have kept it in the garage instead! Husqvarna told me to bring it to the dealership for repairs. How can you repair a lemon or something that was badly designed and made? This tractor is PURE TROUBLE! No wonder there are no reviews on it! People are probably returning these in droves!Buy cheaper, smaller ones with stamped decks. You will be wasting your money, time and health buying this one! I would avoid Husqvarna products. Buy Japanese or whatever. One good thing so far - the engine seems to be quieter. It is a Japanese engine after all. Shame on the Japanese for allowing to use their engine on this POS.Conclusion - no more Husqvarna products for me. I will try with Kubota or some other. When I had a Volvo and Saab, I had many problems with them and the design was so ugly. Sorry, but no more Swedish products anymore for me either. And in general, I stopped consuming whatsoever, cut my spending on food and cut other bills, only keep spending on my hobby. Im tired of increasingly crappy products and especially the Planned Obsolescence thats being widely practiced by todays corporations.

I just bought a Husqvarna riding mower from Lowe’s that I paid $1600.00 in May 2014. THREE months later I called the local dealer to come pick it up because what I thought was the blade failing turned out to be a Spindle. They called me the next day to tell me that the repair wasnt covered under warranty and that it would cost $175.00. When I asked why it wasnt covered they told me that the spindle was broken by serious impact. BY WHAT the freaking GRASS??!! I live on 2 acres of flat land. The same land that I had been cutting for the past 3 months. It seems that they find any excuse to not to cover something under warranty. Then had the nerve to say there couldve been a rock or something in the grass??!! Seriously, if a little rock can break my $1600 piece of equipment just goes to show how shoddy these things are made. NO way it shouldve broken. They obviously do not care about customer satisfaction. After only having for 3 months and a measly $175 repair, they shouldve just fixed it at no charge. Very dissatisfied. Live and Learn. Will never purchase another piece of Husqvarna equipment EVER!!

Bought a brand new husqvarna lawn tractor 26 hp 54 inch deck. Right off the bat, this thing has been hard to start. Dealer says nothing is wrong with it. You kill the battery cranking on it, then boost it and crank some more and more till it finally starts. Once youve started and ran it a little, it starts ok until it sits long enough to cool down. Then its back to wearing out the starter again to get it to fire up.

We purchased the 24 HP 54 cut Husqvarna lawn tractor last fall 2013. Every time we mow the lawn, we have to scrape the deck with a putty knife to clean the grass that builds up while cutting the grass. We have had to stop cutting the lawn because the deck packs up with lawn grass clippings. This has been a continuous problem since we bought it. We have taken it back to the dealership and they changed the blades, put on gator blades and even tried mowing themselves and still it builds up under the deck. They let us use a brand new zero turn and it too had to be cleaned. The deck is poorly made and Husqvarna does nothing to help you.. It is under warranty and I am sure they WILL do something about this problem.

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 Lowes 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. I used the Husky oil purchased at Lowes and followed instructions on type of gas and mixing. I mean, seriously, I have only been mixing 2-cycle oil for 25 years, and have never had a problem in the past. I have been told that gasoline with ethanol will cause a problem such as this, as the ethanol will evaporate leaving excessive moisture in the gasoline. If this is the case, why does Husky not publish this in their 2-cycle manuals so consumers will buy ethanol free? I told the caller to take the blower out back and toss it as far as they could, and I would go buy an Echo blower to replace it. I went by Lowes today to pick up the thing, as they would not even dispose of it as I asked.

I was at the Husqvarna dealer looking for a new tractor and was talked into this model by my dealer because it had an auto locking rear differential with a Kawasaki engine and rapid release blades. Well, my tractor arrived with missing paint on my deck from those metal deck stops. They have worn the deck down to bare metal before I even used the tractor. It also arrived with paint rubbed off and down to bare metal on their rear hitch plate of the tractor. I was missing a plastic Christmas clip they call it for a side panel below the hood as well. I have now 4.2 hours on the tractor and the auto locking diff is fully locked all the time. What a pain in the butt. It is supposed to lock and unlock as needed. Well, because it is locked all the time, whenever you turn sharp or just a regular turn, the locked rear end tears up my lawn. Lastly, today, I was looking under the deck because I was going to clean it and noticed I dont have the quick release mandrels. Thats right. I was sold a tractor and one of the selling points was the rapid release blades, and my tractor does not have them. It has the standard bolt on blades, no rapid release. Three tractors from Husqvarna for 2013 were sold with rapid release blades: the YT46LS, GT54LS, YT54LS, and yet, after looking at my deck, it does not have the rapid release blades. I am very upset by this. I called the dealer and he looked at the other YT46LS tractors he had in stock, and none of them have the rapid release blades on them. The dealer is not very happy as he had been promoting this feature and has sold lots of those models. Now, he has sold all these model tractors all promised to have the rapid release feature and they dont have it. I called Husqvarna company and explained to them my issues and they told me that if the tractor was supposed to have this feature, then I need to bring the tractor to an authorized Husqvarna repair center and they will have to repair it. But she said the Mandrels are NOT covered under warranty. Now, she goes on to say since I have had the tractor for less than 90 days, I could get a refund from my Husqvarna dealer if they offered it as an option. She said it is up to the dealer if they take refunds or not? Very confusing. At this point, I am very unhappy and would just like to return the tractor for a refund. I have had the tractor for 33 days, so does the dealer have to give me a refund? Even if the Mandrels were supposed to be rapid release Mandrels according to Husqvarna, the Mandrels are not covered by warranty. So how would I get them replaced? I am not paying for new rapid release mandrels to be installed as the tractor was sold to me with having them.

Husqvarna sells dangerously defective outdoor equipment. I purchased a riding mower July 4 2017. It is still under manufacturer warranty. I contacted Husqvarna Sept 13 2019 after the mower deck on my Husqvarna riding mower came apart at the welds and fell off of the mower. The mower deck has been used only 3 times? And the mower itself has only 37.6 hours on it. They instructed me to take it to the local service center which I did. The service center inspected the product and determined that it was faultily made and was a manufacturer defect. After providing this information to Husqvarna along with numerous pictures the local service center as well as myself contacted Husqvarna repeatedly to find out what we need to do to get the product fixed. Husqvarna conveniently lost the pictures, paperwork, and information several times. After providing the information again along with a statement from the service center stating the item was built defectively Husqvarna stated they were not going to fix the faulty product that they sold. They also instructed me to have my attorney contact theirs if I wanted resolution.

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.After I put the chain back on, it felt funny when I tried to start it so I bought it to the Husqvarna Authorized service center Curtis Feed & Farm Supply located at 3454 County Route, 74 Greenwich, NY 12834 (518-692-8529). They took it in on Tuesday and were finished with it on Friday. But to my amazement, they handed me a $33.12 bill claiming that a defective hand guard isnt covered under warranty. He couldnt give me a reason why it broke, got misuse or so forth. So, I paid for a top of the line chainsaw worth $400 and every sixth time of using it, it would cost me $33? Really? I could have bought two Craftsman 20 saws for the same money!I took it back to Tractor Supply which was on the way home from the service center, not expecting them to take it back and refund my money - but they did even though I bought it back in May! So A+ to Tractor Supply, and a big F to Husqvarna and their authorized service center. Their brand will be forever junk to me and anybody whoever asks me!

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

I BOUGHT A Husqvarna UTV. It had a 14 hp B&S Vanguard. After 60hrs the engine destroyed itself. I followed every maintenance instruction to the T. Husqvarna and B&s stonewalled every attempt to recover my loss. THE DEALER, not Husq or BS, absorbed the cost of a new engine after determining I was 100% correct. After 60hrs, the new engine is using excessive oil. DONT BUY ANYTHING THAT SAYS B&S OR HUSQVARNA.

I bought this to replace an old Craftsman riding mower that had served me well. This model has essentially the same body as the Craftsman so I was able to look at the old Craftsman to see why the Husqvarna was so low to the ground. The Husqvarna body is directly bolted to the rear axle while the Craftsman has a bracket that lifts the body about an inch above the rear axle. Because of this, the mower deck on the Husqvarna cant be properly adjusted. Also, when I use it to pull a broadcast spreader, the spreader is tipped forward too much and the mover deck is dragged through the grass the whole time. Ive since found many reports of this problem. Too bad I hadnt seen these reports before I bought it earlier this year.

Husqvarna Lawn tractor YTH22V46 - 1st. Issue: Ordered online from DR POWER EQUIPMENT. Order Confirmation from POWER EQUIPMENT PLUS on 8/11/2013. DR POWER EQUIPMENT Order has shipped on 8/13/2013. Recd packing slip from Country Home Product. 2nd. Issue: Very hard to start, struggled with it for one summer. Finally went on line to ** and found a article about starting problems on this L.T. The choke was not adjusted properly at the factory. A simple turn of the screw on the bracket which holds the cable allowing it to move freely. Jumped on and turned the key and it started right up! 3rd. Issue: After running the L.T. for about a hour on 5/15/2015 went to start and it wouldnt. Gasoline was pouring out of the manifold. Now the L.T. is at the Local Husqvarna Dealer waiting for at least two (2) weeks for a carburetor repair. Local dealer has one repair man and a two week back log of Husqvarna products. No idea what this repair will cost. They will call with estimate! My advice - buy the green one!

Bought from Lowes. After 2 years of mowing flat 2 acres, frame cracked in 2 spots, the Briggs has stopped charging. Piece of crap. Head light switch wont work. Midway thru mowing, electric clutch disengages where I have to go back to garage and hook up to battery charger to get deck mowing.

I bought this Husqvarna 42xls in Sep. of 2012. It has 120 hr. on. It started burning up belts. Went through 3 new belts before carrying in to the dealer for repairs. Said it would be 10 days to two weeks before it would be ready. Two weeks pass did not hear from them. Just went in to check on it. And it was push in the back of the shop. Said they could not get a hold of me. The case on the trans. was cracked on both sides. I had made a power hatch and installed it on the back. They took one look at it and that was the cause the problem. They say the belt was out under the mower that the tram and frame is connected to was not hooked up. I told them it never was but they did not believe me. So what good does it to buy a warranty.

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?

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.

I would NOT recommend this product. Please do not purchase unless you plan on paying for any issues that may arise. We purchased the mower 3 months ago! Yes, only 3 months ago. The starter is gone and there is a 2 month backlog for THEIR local service retailers and we need the mower now. We have to just figure it out or drive an hour to the next retailer and then pay out of pocket until the warranty is processed. Everyone is sorry but no one can help!

We bought our Husqvarna snowblower on 1-27-14. We purchased it from Fleet Supply in Sauk Centre, MN. Our snowblower worked ok for the most part. It wasnt the quality we thought it would be. When our son was snowblowing 10 days ago he checked the oil and fluid was running out on the floor. We immediately took it to Fleet Supply in Sauk Centre, MN as we had bought it there and they are an authorized Husqvarna repair shop.When we dropped our snowblower off on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. Ralph said it would be done within 24 hours as he had to empty his shop each day. My husband said to take his time and do it right. Ralph quoted us $20.00. I wasnt ok with that as it should have been under warranty. I called on Thursday to see what was up. Ralph was very short with me and said he hadnt had time to get to it. On Saturday I called 3 times with no return call. Ralph finally called back and said he didnt want to call back as I was rude to the cashiers. Ralph isnt doing his job and it is suddenly my fault! Get a grip! He said he had to order a part. The repair was now going to be $70.00 to fix. He didnt plan on calling us to let us know that as he is just too busy. I simply wouldnt have paid it. It should have been warranty anyway.When my husband picked up the snowblower on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 they blamed us for the issue. They said we didnt put stabilizer in the gas and it broke down. I think he said the carburetor was stuck. We always put stabilizer in our equipment. Then the buyer from Husqvarna was there. He got loud and mouthy with my husband. This should have been a warranty repair plain and simple. Mr. Husqvarna said it was up to him and he said it wouldnt be covered without testing anything. I would NEVER buy anything from Fleet Supply again and I would not buy a Husqvarna. It isnt our fault it had a faulty carburetor. The people at Fleet Supply were absolute JACK **! Todd the manager was an idiot and took no responsibility and Ralph had not idea what he was doing!

I purchased a Husqvarna LGT 2654 garden tractor 5/17/2014. Big mistake! Just over 2yrs later and the transmission is shot. I have just under 2 acres of land and one hill on the side of my house.The guy at Lowes where I purchased the tractor told me I need a heavy duty tractor to do my yard which that is why I purchased a garden tractor. I talked with somebody from Husqvarna and two Husqvarna dealers because I get two different stories on the warranty. I was told the warranty is only good for 2 years and then someone else tells me 3 years. Both dealers told me they would have to contact Husqvarna and Tuff Torq the manufacturer of the transmission to see if warranty would cover transmission. Good luck on that one. I had to keep calling them because they would not get back with you. Then I was told I would have to pay around $1000.00 for a new transmission. I went with Husqvarna because I thought they were a reputable company and was in business for a long time. I guess they are just to big now to care about their customers. I will never purchase another Husqvarna product again.

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.

I am very dissatisfied with 2015 42-inch riding mower/garden tractor. It sounds like a bucket of bolts. It is very hard to start and the battery is no good. I only have a few hours on the mower and am just beginning the second season. I wish I had bought something else. As for service, I bought from a regular mower shop, hardware store. They sell massive amounts of mowers. But, when I complained about the problems beginning shortly after I bought it, there was no response from them. They acted as if these things were normal. Well they are not. Husqvarna has lost my business and so has the store I bought it from. That so, they have lost my future sales and sales of others that ask me how my mower runs. I am very disappointed.

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.

I purchased my 46 riding Husqvarna mower a little over 3 years ago. At 2 years the bushing in the front right tire went out and the wheel just flopped all over the place, I took it in to be fixed. One year later now that is a little over three years and the warranty is up I am having the same problem with the same wheel and there are squeaks and noises all in the mower and this time the front wheel completely fell off. I have owned several riding mowers and have always bought them used, this is the first one I bought brand new. The used mowers never had any problems with, this Husqvarna is worst mower I ever bought! I do not recommend this brand at all! And when you call customer service you speak to someone in a foreign country that acts like they do not understand one thing you are saying, all they keep saying is they are sorry!

I love Husqvarna. I work at a dealership. Half the complaints on here are motors or trannies that husky doesnt 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. Dont 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.

We purchased a leaf blower and a 46 riding lawn mower along with fuel mix. We sent in rebate for $10.00 on leaf blower and finally got it after close to 3 months. The rebate for Mower of $75.00 never did show up. It has been well over 4 months. Husqvarna makes it nearly impossible to contact them. This ends my dealing with this dishonest company and will be sure to let people know when I speak to them.

I purchased a 440 Husqvarna chainsaw less than a year ago. Ever since I took it out of the box, it has been hard to start. I took to an authorized Husqvarna repair shop to see why it was so hard to start and was told that, after removing the muffler, they could see that the piston was showing signs of being discolored from overheating. I was told that the warranty was voided because I was not using Husqvarna brand 2-cycle oil. I was using ACE Hardwarde 2-cycle oil and that the same mixture was working in all of my other 2-cycle engines. I asked if there was another reason the engine could overheat and was told that a too lean fuel adjustment could be the cause but that they did not have the time to do further investigation and most likely Husqvarna would refuse any warranty work anyway. On Husqvarnas suggestion, I took it to another authorized repair shop who confirmed that the carburetor was set out-of-limits and was in the full lean position. Husqvarna still refused any responsibility for the malfunction. I was told that there was no one in Husqvarna that can override a decision made by their warranty department. My advise is not to count on any warranty help from Husqvarna.

Purchase new Husqvarna RZ 4216 four weeks ago. Blade belt started coming off when disengage belt. Took it back to dealer and he states that there is a new blade engage system now. It is ordered (8-24-13). Will advise what happens.

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.

Been a very reliable mower at a very reasonable price, the only parts we have had to replace are the blades and a drive belt. It is the 750 V twin engine and has lots of power to pull our trailer add-ons. Never been stuck through not enough power but have been stuck through only one rear wheel drive and wheels churned the grass to mud then lost traction. 2 wheel drive, gears for more control of speed would make this great mower even better. After 5 years of trouble free service developed a petrol tank leak and the tank is very hard to access.

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.....

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. Ive 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.

Had had mower one year and been to shop twice to level deck’ deck is the heavy constructed deck and scalps yard. Is there a fix? Measured blades to a flat surface and they are same distances. The problem seems to be the deck does not flex. Mower handle great with auto locking differential but ready to burn it because the way it scalps.

Bought My Husqvarna Lawn Tractor New in 2013 this past summer 2019. The rear axle folded up to the bottom of the transmission. There was no big noise, the tractor just stop moving forward or backward. Noticed cracks around the housing where the U bolts hold the axle to the frame. The metal used to hold the axle to the farm is very lite weight allowing it to crack and give way. The drive belt disengaged. I contacted Husqvarna as did the Dealer I used to fix the Tractor, they were no Help.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 dont warranty belts! I just hope that I dont have to replace the belt every 50 hours!

I tried to buy a replacement cover for my lawn tractor grass catcher directly from Husqvarna. Was politely told there is no replacement part available even though I have the cover part number. For $400.00 I was informed I can buy a whole new grass catcher accessory. Love their equipment but this situation is disappointing.

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.

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.

Husqvarna RZ3016 - I have owned this machine for just over a year. It has spent 6 months in the repair shop (1st time) for problems with the zero turn drive system which was not repaired correctly and continues to not work well... In June of this year it would not start so I had to take it back to the dealer for repairs. It is now August and I have not heard anything from the dealer or the repair shop! Due to their slow repair service I was forced to purchase another mower to maintain my yard and my neighbors. $2500.00 in a lawnmower I can not use because it has spent most of its time in for repairs. Another $3000.00 for another mower so I can keep up with yard maintenance!! Do not purchase a Husqvarna Zero Turn mower!!

Why does your tractors have a history of the rear transaxle snapping. I own a Husqvarna LGT2654. I am only cutting about a half of a acre of grass. The tractor still looks like I just bought it. I take care of my stuff. I lived here for 37 years and never had that happen. My last tractor I owned I drove it for 14 years.

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.

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 Z46 Zero Turn Riding Mower - I purchased the above in April of 2014. By the second week of June I called my warranty service because the electronic start module died. I mean one minute Im cutting the grass; I shut it off to clear debris in the yard, went back to it to put it away and the module was completely dead. They came for it and after a week of waiting for the repair I was told that service center contacted the manufacturer and was told they did not have any in stock and it would 6 weeks before it would come in. I went back to Lowes where I bought it; they replaced it, and delivered a new one the next day. Just under three months later I finished cutting my yard, went to my shed to remove some boxes, got back on the mower and the same - electronic module was dead again! I went back to Lowes and requested a different brand mower. I would not buy another Husqvarna anything on a bet.

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!

Lawn tractor, Husquvarna YTH 22K24 - It was very difficult to start at first, but we eventually got it to go. First used it May 2015. Its blowing smoke/oil. Terrible fumes and smell when we start it up. Its also extremely noisy! We had a Craftsman for years with no problems. Very disappointed. Would not recommend anyone buy Husqvarna!

Clutch engage cable broke after 26 hours. Looked at it and it was frayed at both ends and had a clean cut in the middle. Obviously defective, frayed and mounted incorrectly. Got cut clean through by a blade pulley. Took problem to local (sort of, but closest) authorized dealer and they refused warranty for the fact that they tried 7 different ways and the computer would not take it. So I had no other choice but to pay for the cable and replace it myself. But the repair center was so sympathetic that he even expressed that he felt my pain and frustration. That made me feel so much better. Yeh, right.So, I contacted Husqvarna for reimbursement. Husqvarna website form was useless...no response. 1 (800) 487-5951 Husqvarna Group, customer service phone. Called and spent 45 minutes. 1st level agreed with service center immediately so I asked to speak to supervisor. Told that it could not be escalated until I got the reason from the local center. I told them I refused to go back to them for the reason they already gave me and then have to call Husqvarna back, let me speak to a supervisor. So they took all information about tractor and gave me a escalation number, and if I lost it, they could do nothing. Long wait times and finally another operator said they cannot override the local repair center. They would not refund me. They could only send me a replacement (of which I already had!). That is the best I could get, though useless unless it breaks again, though I mounted it correctly.Customer support puts too much on the consumer and customer and anything you do wrong will negate the customer service request. They give you the runaround. Too many level and requirements to get answers or satisfaction, if at all possible. They say, If you lose the number... Lots of reasons and info needed to escalate to simply speak to a supervisor. They say, Need reasons for dealer even though you already got them. They say they cannot override dealer decisions...the dealer has the final decision. Husqvarna gives too much power of decision to local repair centers and dealers and cannot override their decisions. I will never buy another Husqvarna anything ever again, even with the 3 years warranty temptation. As other reviews state, the warranty is of little value or just plain worthless.

In October 2016 I purchased a Husqvarna 125BVX Leaf Blower from Lowes. After 13 months of use it refused to start. I replaced the spark plug and still no start. I checked the compression with my thumb over the plug hole while pulling the rope and thought it was low. I took it to my local Husqvarna repair shop and was told in fact the blower had 55 lbs of compression, about half what it was supposed to. It has a two year warranty but was told that since I didnt purchase it there they would have to disassemble the blower and send pictures to Husqvarna to see if they would repair it under warranty. If they did I would have to pay for the repairs and file a claim with the company to get re-reimbursed. I thanked them and took the blower with me. I then took it to Lowes and they sent it to their authorized repair center. The center called after about a week and informed me that the blower had been operated with improper lubrication and with water in the fuel mix. Both things I knew to be incorrect. They told me it would cost me $207.00 to replace the piston and rings and rebuild the carburetor. I told them I could replace it cheaper than that just send it back unrepaired. I went to pick it up and was presented with a $61.00 bill for diagnosis. I told them to just keep the blower for the fee and they couldnt do that. Lowes marked the fee off and gave me the blower back. It has no evidence of being disassembled. I contacted Husqvarna customer service and they stood behind the incorrect diagnosis, and said they were sorry. So now I have replaced it with another brand. I wouldnt recommend buying anything with the Husqvarna name on it. It seems that they will come up with any kind of lame excuse to refuse to do warranty repairs.

I 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.

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 blower #115351227 less than 2 years ago. I have gardeners so I only use this thing about 12 times a years. It crapped out and took it to Lowes (a separate story), sent to so called authorized repair center. Its nearly 60 days later and now he tells me corporate is not responding, so he cant repair it. Tried contacting Poulan eight hundred number and this is your worst nightmare. Bottom line, I have a blower that is now technically out of way because my unit sat at a so called approved repair store that apparently was not approved. The hundred bucks for the blower is not my issue. I most certainly dont need the aggravation. If the CEO of Husqvarna gets to read this, I would hope heads will roll. This no way to run a company. Somebodys got to know that you guys need help.

Worst mower ever. Wheels fall off; stabilizer bar bends. Worst cut ever. Moving at the slowest speed, it leaves uncut grass. Now it has no high speed or reverse and its only 3 years old. Since we have 5 acres, I bought the most horsepower rider. After 6 months I decided to buy a blade to do minor landscaping, but was told with all this horsepower, you could not put ground contact equipment on this mower. Why all the horsepower if you cant use it? Why were we not informed when we bought it? Piece of **. Will never buy another product of theirs or recommend anyone else.

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

Bought this new Husquarvarna 24 go 48 inch cut and after one mowing season had to buy a new spindle. After fixing that myself even though it was under warranty the $1500 transmission went out. I bought this at Lowes and learned two important lessons. 1st dont buy a Husquarvarna and dont buy machinery that does not service them. I was without a mower for over a month and once they fixed it I have been sparingly using as I feel it is a very feeble machine. I doubt it will last year #3.

I purchased this mower just 1 year ago and its been in the shop three times already. The first time the adjusting lever would only go in three position and it would not cut right. The second time it was same thing. The repair shop said some of these mowers did that. Third time I had to take it to another shop about thirty miles away and they were a Husqvarna dealer and they kept it three weeks because they had so many Husqvarna mowers to work on. I brought it home and the same thing it would not cut right. I had to pay 75$ out of my own pocket. The warranty people said they couldnt do anything for me to take it back to Lowes and they had to send it off again, said it might be over a week and if its over 300$ I would have to pay it. I really thought this was a good company, but I just wasted 2000$. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN!!!

Very good mowers. They last a long time. Would recommend to other people to purchase these products. The prices are reasonable, but are more than cheaper mower. They are very good for home use and commercial use.

I purchased a new Husqvarna saw from Lowes and use it twice. On second, the use of the engine seized mechanically. I contacted Lowes for repair. The service advisor tried to say I used too much oil in the gas mix and caused the failure. As a mechanic for over 30 years, I informed him that a rich seize was not possible. Foul the plug, maybe, excess smoke, probably, seizing; no way! Authorized to take to local service center. I was informed that the saw was three years old and out of warranty. Produced my (6-month-old) receipt as proof of date. After several weeks of wrangling on the part of the service center, I was authorized to do repair. I found that the wrist pin clip had fallen out and allowed the wrist pin to become lodged under the cylinder. Okay, problem identified and repaired. I was informed by repair center that the carburetor should be replaced for $175, thanks. I got the saw back and sold it on e-bay for 50 cents on the dollar. I went to real chain saw dealer, bought it and it works awesome; 30 cords in and no problems. Never again for Lowes or Husky!I lost $200 and got way too much aggravation.

Riding mower purchased from Sears was a headache from the jump start. Had to call and set up appointments for mower failing to start, smoking, parts loose. Times were set so far in the future yard got in a mess. After warranty expired had to take it to local certified dealer and spent a small fortune. This gave me buyers remorse in the worse way. The product wasnt durable at all. I bought about 5 batteries in 5 years which makes me think I may have had electrical issues. It finally died September 4, 2017. Funeral services September 14, 2017. Sunrise 2011 - Sunset 2017.

We purchased our mower 5 years ago and right after we got it, the wheel fell off. So, Lowes brought us a new machine. We purchased the 4-year extended warranty and wouldnt you know it, one month after the warranty expired, the motor went out. We have a new motor $1,200 later. That was in July. Now, in May of the following year, the transmission goes out…that’s another $985. We could have just bought a new mower. Now, we’re spending another $2,200 only 5 years later. I will NEVER buy another Husqvarna ever again. Im very upset that weve just spent $4,400 on a $2,000 mower in a matter of 5 years.

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.

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???

I purchased a new Husqvarna 555 professional chainsaw, which stopped running after only 4 hours of use. After a couple of trips to the dealer, I was informed that there was a recall on a number of 555 and 562 saws. I have been waiting for weeks to get the saw repaired but parts are on indefinite back order. Husqvarna refuses to replace the product or issue a refund. I am stuck without a saw in prime tree cutting season. It is totally unacceptable and leads me to believe that they couldnt care less about the customer.

I was really disappointed with not being able to raise the level of the cut any. It meant it was absolutely worthless to me in the condition delivered. Here it sits... over a year later and never mowed a darn thing.

I purchased my Z246 Zero turn mower in 2015 new at the end of the cutting season. The first year or so was great. It was lightly used. The property was flat with no major bumps, etc. The next year, a piece that engages the deck broke. It was covered by my extended warranty so it was fixed. My third year into the mower is when I started to have problems. The spindles broke a least 1x each mowing season. The pulley wore out. The deck broke where it attaches to the frame and I had to have it welded back in two spots. The next year the deck began to split apart horizontally on once side and vertical on the other and I had to replace the spindles again. Now...heading into the new mowing season, one spindle needs replacing again and needs new screws and the deck is kaput. I will never buy another Husqvarna mower. Very very disappointed in the quality of a mower I paid thousands for.

Riding mower serial #031915A056372 - Bought riding mower from Lowes. Husqvarna mower was recommended by salesman. The mower was purchased on 5/2015. It worked beautifully for 2 seasons. However on June 4 2017, my son cut the front half of the yard with no issues. When he got to the last half of the yard, the mower started making a horrible sound. My son disengaged the deck and jumped off of the mower, thinking that it was going to explode. After waiting several minutes, we tried to start it up again. It started right up but had an even worse grinding noise, complete with a horrible vibration. He immediately turned it off and we had to push the mower up the hill to the garage. I called Lowes warranty number and after 2 days the local repair shop picked it up. Today they call me and say that the deck is completely busted loose along with the PTO clutch. Numerous other pieces and parts missing (there were no pieces found in my yard) and that the mower was abused or used commercially and is therefore not covered under warranty. The mower has always been garaged kept, fluids check and changed regularly. I told the repair shop that there is nothing in the almost 2 acres that could have ripped off the deck and clutch. No damage could be seen anywhere on the mower, no scratches or dents, just the deck and clutch hanging. Right now, nothing is covered under warranty. Im responsible for repairs. $2000.00 thrown out the window. There is no way that I would pay for repairs on this thing. Ill put the money on a new, different mower.

We purchased a new Husqvarna YTH21K46 riding mower from Lowe’s located in New Hartford NY store a few years back. While I was mowing our lawn yesterday (7/16/17) I noticed flames shooting out the front cowl. This appeared to be a fuel line that may have became defective and failed. The mower is complete loss and we are now looking for a new mower within only a few years of purchasing this one. Local law enforcement and fire department were called to extinguish the blaze since the fuel tank was nearly full. We have had nothing but problems with this mower since we purchased it, the engine mounts were never tightened from the factory and I had to install new ones. The welds on the mower deck broke and had to be re-welded. The exhaust manifold kept coming loose, the list goes on and on.This is very disappointing and somewhat disturbing knowing this fire could have caused serious injury. We won’t be purchasing another mower from Husqvarna due to the quality of the product. I have reached out to Husqvarna about this issue and they did take an incident report and said they would be calling me back. I will update again once they respond or if they respond.

This is in reference with my Husqvarna rotary lawn mower (Model Number: 917.376822 21). My mower wouldnt 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 wasnt 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 pointed out that the owners manual said to use stabilizer but I was told that it was erroneous information and that they were compelled to honor the warranty because Sears had their logo on the back of the book. I then went to Sears and was told that since Husqvarna had published the book, Sears could not be held responsible for the information in the manual.Additionally, I understand theres a bulletin from the factory regarding a fault in the carburetor on this model. So far, this farce has cost me $105 for something I feel should be covered by warranty. Your timely response with any help or guidance you can provide would be very much appreciated. After this experience, I will not ever purchase another Husqvarna product or anything powered by Kohler.

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. They didnt replace the missing knobs. Since then, the gas leaks someplace; the rear axle height shaft broke so when I welded it, I saw the poor quality of the welds someone had put on. The air filter case is broken; more parts have fallen off the bag, and this is the engine of all the powered equipment I own that I have to prime in the spring to get running. It has an auto choke system that doesnt work as well. The part that really upsets me is that you cannot talk with anyone who makes more than minimum wage. Husqvarna has no customer service. I have never seen anything so poorly designed. Do they want me to buy parts that are guaranteed to fail over and over? This is by far the work money I have ever spent. I wouldnt want it on my conscience if someone got hurt using a product that looks like it is made to fail.

Bought zero turn mower less than a year ago. Mower has 41 hours on it. Paid around $3000 for mower brand new. Have already had to replace belt that engages blades one time. Went to use it today, and the blades would not engage again. This is the worst mower I have ever owned. Would NOT recommend!

May 28th, 2016 I purchased the 54 Husqvarna riding mower from our local Lowes Home Store. We were told that it was top of the line for quality and customer service. As we were in the process of buying it we asked several times about warranty and owners manuals, the cashier ignored us. They finally went online and printed a copy, but gave us no warranty card or any of the tools for adjusted mower components or washing the deck. As we exited the store and walked to where they were loading the mower I watched them ram the grass guard against the side of the trailer and heard a crack. The guys loading it told me, No worries. Come back on Monday and we will give you a new one. When I got it home to unload it, I noticed that it did not look new. There were signs that it had been used before. So on the initial test run I pulled the knob upward to engage the mower deck and the engine almost choked out and the mower deck shook violently and then the entire body of the mower continued to vibrate as I started to mow. During this run I notice that the digital hour indicator read 7 hours, but the one that I thought I was buying only read 1.2 hours of use. About 20 minutes into my mowing the transmission disengaged and the mower stopped dead in its track. This happened again about 10 minutes later. This forced me to shut down the mower, get off and reengage the transmission pin each time it happened. I finally shut the mower down so I could look the mower over better. I notice scratches on this mower that was not on the one I had purchased. I also looked underneath the mowers blade and deck and up toward the deck drive-belt pulley and noticed that the base of the center shaft appeared slightly bent and the mower deck did not appear to be attached properly. So what I bought was a new mower, but loaded a refurbished one in its place. I loaded the mower back up and delivered directly back to Lowes. I spent three hours trying to get my new mower and Lowes staff gave me the biggest run-a-round ever. They tried to tell me that they could send it back to the dealer and have the mower repair, but I would be responsible for the cost of repairs. I flat refused to take anything other than a new one. Then a store rep took me out to show me one identical to mine, but he said was new. I was looking it over and there were signs everywhere indicating it was used. The seat was torn, there was dirt and grass under the mower deck and again, documentation package was missing. I went back to Customer Service and demanded a refund on the spot and after a few minutes the store manager came over and completed the transaction and my $2500 plus dollars was refunded.I blame Husqvarna 30% for the poor quality of their equipment, but Lowes gets the most blame for their poor customer service and deceptive business practices. I have no intentions of ever buying from Lowes again.

Bought a Husqvarna weed eater Model 224L at Lowes, 4/12/2015. Paid $367.40, used the product twice and it would not run any longer. On 7/30/2015 took the machine to repair shop that was suggested by Husqvarna which was The F.M. Pile Hardware Company in Charleston WV. Was told they would look at it and repair within a week. On 8/05/2015 called the Hardware Company and was told they had not looked at the product as of yet. Contacted the Husqvarna Company and at 1-800-487-5951 and was on hold for 20 minutes then told there was nothing they could do.

The baffle center front screw hole broke and the baffle broke the blade. We bought the tractor pre-assembled from Lowes. Lowes would not repair because it was not in the maintenance agreement. We replaced and it happened again so we left the baffle center front off the blade was bent. I bought blades again and found the end of the shaft assembly mandrel stripped so now I have to repair shaft assembly, Mandrel in order to hold the mower blade. I hate this Tractor mower. I would not recommend this equipment to my enemy. I give no stars because I have had to repair it since we bought the darn thing. I guess I have to give a star to submit. :/

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.
