I bought this Husqvarna mower in spring 2016 from Lowes for $300. I just finished the 7th mowing season with it and it still runs strong. After every season I replace the oil, air filter, and spark plug. I then run it until the gas tank is empty and it stalls. I then wash it and put it away for the winter.
I know this isn’t a real Husqvarna product like their chainsaws. It’s just a basic mower painted orange with a B&S engine on it. As soon as Lowes bought the Craftsman naming rights these generic Husky mowers disappeared from Lowes. I had a very hard time finding a new blade a few years ago for it. I found one online from a small mower shop in Pennsylvania. I keep telling myself that the current year will be the last year I will be using this, but nothing breaks on it. The AWD still works year after year. I have a 9,000 sq ft yard.
I’m thinking about just buying a Honda before the production stops next year and keep it in standby.
