Yard Man by MTD yard man riding lawn mower Review

We bought this yard man riding lawn mower at walmart back  a few years ago. I know the saying you get what you pay for ... BUTTTTT  When you buy something that costs over one thousand dollars you expect to get something that will do a stand up job. Plus this line of mower is made by MTD, which i thought was a good mower, but i guess this is the generic version, and they dont mind to throw it off on people as such. I have to give it  one plus, it does "look" good.  it has the head lights , and a nice coushin seat, and the colors are brite. But i had rather have something that looks like crap and runs great then what we bought( something that looks good but that is put together like crap)

In the first 2 years we have had to already replace the battery.. Then replace the deck barrings which is not good what so ever. The whole deck needs to be replaced to tell the truth , because it sounds like it is about to fall off! it the worst sounding thing ever. We have had to replace the belt 2 times already. When ever you turn the mower off you can here all the clinging and shaking going on under the deck it's just awfull!  Plus when you first start the mower it will run, but if you engage the mower it wants to bog down.  Sometimes you have to try and engage the mower a few different times, or REALLLL slow to get it to work.  The other bad thing is that when you are mowing and need to back up, if you put it in to reverse with out first taking it out of engage it shuts the whole mower off.  over all this mower just does NOT hold up well, and i would not buy another.
