Title: Yardman Opinion - Piece of Junk
Product review: I bought a 17.5 hp 42" Yardman 2-1/2 yrs ago. After 1 year(39 hours)I had to replace BOTH spindle assemblies (shaft that holds blades). You can't get just the shaft, even though it does come apart - you must buy the whole thing/bearing and housing. Cost of repair about $200. Today I took it in again because there was a problem with the thing going forward. I now have 79 hours on it and the transmission is shot. I wouldn't have another Yardman if someone gave it to me. The shop thinks the company might pay for the repair due to low hours and as soon as I get it running again, I'm going to get rid of it ASAP. Hope all of you new owners have better luck.
