One Fine Machine

Review Posted 07/08/2014
I have been very pleased with this mower. I shopped around for weeks trying to decide what to buy and where to purchase it. I decided on Mowers Direct based on price, reviews and availability. I have not been disappointed.
My only complaint is that the throttle handle plastic grip broke after a few months. Replacement is hard to get. I would have to take my mower to a repair center (over 100 miles away) to get a $18 part replaced.

Dan,
The plastic piece on the throttle cannot be replaced, but if you are able to replace the entire throttle, which actually is very easy, then you should be able to find the part fairly easy, it just sometimes depends on where. We would be happy to help you locate the part you need. We don't deal with parts personally, but we do know of some other places which primarily do just this and they would be willing to ship this part to you.
Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email and we can assist.

Review Posted 05/26/2013
Both front tires stopped holding air after one season.. I bought this tractor to replace a 14yr old Troy Built, the Husqy is significantly lower quality. The neutral mechanism is a joke from cracker jack. The tractor is ok but.....

I've only used it a couple of time to clean snow along with the 48" snow blade.
Tractor is excellent plenty of power and performs just as I expected.

50 lb Wheel Weight and Bracket
By Bob
Wisconsin
Purchased 11/17/2012 |
Review Posted 01/01/2013
The weight can be rather difficult to mount due to it's bulk and weight.
Some of the bolts are difficult to mount because of tight spaces.
The holes for mounting the bracket didn't line up but I was still able to perform the mounting.
Once mounted it looks good and helps a tremendous amount with traction.
I would recommend this accessory.

48" Snow Blade
By Bob
Wisconsin
Purchased 11/17/2012 |
Review Posted 01/01/2013
I have used the blade twice. It was a little difficult to install, but all parts were present and once it was done it performed as expected.
It is a little difficult to adjust left and right and sometimes you have to dismount the tractor to move by hand which is very easy.
All and all it is a good investment and I look forward to using the tractor and blade.

New Mower

Review Posted 12/16/2012
The mower was delivered as promised. However, we have not been able to get it to start.
Tried first while the delivery man was here but it did not start then and still will not start.
This rating may change whenever I can get it to run.

My Desert Tank
By James T.
Floresville, Texas
Purchased 10/30/2012 |
Review Posted 12/16/2012
I used my "42" for the first time yesterday, and wow, was I surprised! This tiger has a lot of zip and power to boot!
The land is located on a 5 acre tract, of which 2 and 1/2 are mowable; the terrain is a challenge for the H22V42. This machine tackled the job in little over a hour and half! With tons of sand, mole dunes, giant ant hills, undulating and uneven surfaces, this Husky performed superbly!!
The handling was excellent, steering very flexible, very good speed, and I was impressed with its drive train. Cutting through all that sand shrouded my machine in layers of dust, but with a good leaf blower and a little hand wipe-down it looks as good when I uncrated it.
This mower, in my opinion, is the best value in performance and quality over those more expensive models. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a lawn tractor.
One afterthought- if you live in an area that has high humidity, do not use the wash port (with water) to clean the cutting deck, that will promote rust. Use a high powered leaf blower... that should do the job adequately.

Horrible experience
By Robert
Connecticut
Review Posted 12/15/2012
Received my mower and the pulley system wasn't assembled correctly. I contacted Mowers Direct and received no assistance. My mower has been in the shop for a week. I haven't even had the chance to use it yet. I'll never use this company again.

We did refer this customer to Husqvarna technical support for assistance, as we do not perform nor offer technical advise on repair related matters. This mower will be repaired under the terms of the Husqvarna warranty since the mower was not set up properly at the factory.
