Back to the drawing board

I purchased this mower and the engine runs great; however in the second season the frame split around the engine.

So this unit has a good engine but the rest of it just will not hold up to light mowing. I think the manufacturer needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.

MD RESPONDS: This unit comes with a 2 year Factory Warranty that covers defects in manufacture and workmanship.

Please contact MTD directly at (800) 800-7310 so they can arrange service for you at the closest Authorized Service Center.

I was disappointed when my mower arrived with the GCV engine when I wanted the commercial grade engine. I'm not sure if this was a mistake by MTD itself or the vendor. The misrepresentation may have been unintentional, but was disappointing.

Despite all this, I've w... more
