Husqvarna 966 61 24-01 Reviews & Ratings
Wow
By Charles E.

Review Posted 08/07/2013
Bought this mower in November 2011, all the nuts on the spindles were loose and got lost on first cut, the Idler pulley was factory mounted on motor plate in wrong position. Mower did not want to move, did not determine this till March 2012, factory rep could not deliver new plate until June 2012 to the dealer. After that the wire on ignition coil pack came undone during the first cut after the plate was replaced, then all the bolts on belt pulleys broke after this. So we had to learn to work on it ourselves. Replaced bolts with case hard bolts from hardware store.
Corporate(HUSQ-Charlotte) hated us because we asked advise from our lawyer, and told us we were on our own. Did not feel like fighting so learning to work on it seemed to be the best option.
Fingers crossed!

This mower is a dud and no one will do anything about it

Review Posted 05/24/2012
I got it less than a year ago its been in for. The first time we had owned it for only 5 weeks and it was in repair for 2 1/2 months. The second time I had only mowed with it once and they said it was the fuel line and filter that caused it not to start. They kept it for two weeks. The mower was doing the same thing both times and now it quit on me again after only two mowings. It will not start. I was told that warranty would not cover it at that time because I had put gas in the tank and that voided the warranty.
I was always under the impression that Husqvarna made quality products and stood behind their warranties. I do not understand why you would build a product with such problems and charging the customer for buying it. We paid $1995 for it and cannot even use it.

Prompt delivery, easy install

Review Posted 07/07/2011
Recently purchased my zero turn. Best investment I ever made. Ordered the mulch kit, received it in less than 5 days, well packaged, with all required parts and instructions. The mulch kit is easy to install and remove. Lawn looks great in either mode nice even cut, no clumps, looks like I bagged it. Cut my lawn mowing time by at least a third (app 1 acre, with lots of obstacles). Mowers Direct site was easy to use, transaction went quite well and their prices are very competitive. I highly recommend M D, if they have what you're looking for. I plan to.

My Husqvarna zero turning radius mower is the best. I've had mine 1 year now. I mow an acre with it. Works real good. Starts every time - even in the winter. Once you drive a zero turning radius mower you won't want anything else. I might even put a blade on it and push snow.

Excellent mower
By Timothy Parker

Review Posted 02/27/2011
This is my second Husqvarna. No better mower built and excellent quality for home owner grade mower.
My first Husqvarna was a tractor type. It took about 2 hours to cut just over an acre. This zero turn cuts the same area in about an hour.
Love it! Thanks again!
