Thought seriously about getting one of the Husqvarna front-mount models at Lowes this spring. Wife wanted it, and since she does a lot of our mowing and hates the old Wheelhorse, I had a conversation with the salesman that was less than satisfying. It went a little like this: "May I help you, Sir?"
"Perhaps; I'm interested in this mower, but I want one that's still in the crate and hasn't been climbed on and played with by a few hundred kids over the last couple of weeks." "I'm sorry, Sir; that's the only one I have!"
"When will you be getting some more?"
"Not until I sell this one." "I wasn't able to locate any blades or belts for this mower on your display over there. Do you stock blades and belts for this mower?"
"No, Sir; we do not, but we will soon." "How soon? Next week? Next month?"
"I really couldn't say....." "Hmmm...I guess I'd be in bad shape if I bought this and then needed a new blade or broke a belt!"
"You won't break a belt, Sir! I'm certain of that!" At that point I was certain he wasn't selling me that mower, either! I still like the looks of the thing, and feel it would have done a good job of trimming around all the stuff we have, but I went down the road and bought something else where they stock blades and belts!
