Husqvarna bought it about 10 years ago, I calculate it has about 700 hour on it (three hrs/week x 6 months/year).
It's been running well, but had it in the shop last month (my fault) and yesterday it crapped out on me. I disengaged to go in reverse and when I hit the button to engage the blades nothing happened. I rode it to the barn, cut it off to check the blades, was able to move the blades, got back on and it wouldn't start. When I turned the key, it made a kind of clicking sound, but wouldn't start.
I've certainly got my money's worth out of it and I'm wondering if I should get a replacement now before putting any more $$ into this one.
I can't work on it and I have to pay for pick-up/delivery when it needs to go to the shop... which adds up, too.
What brands are good?
