Title: Required New Engine, warranty transport charges & last years' model
Product review: When the machine arrived, it would not start. To make a very long and time consuming story short, the local service dealer determined it needed a new engine which was replaced. After waiting nearly a month to use the machine and having to pay the transportation charges to have it serviced ($45), come to find out the model Amazon sold me is last years (this years' model is a 13BT...). So, if you need to buy this machine (something I would not recommend because of poor quality and a tough to deal with MTD service organization), go get this years' model elsewhere. You can check to see if it runs before taking it home and local places care enough about your business to do exchanges, defer warranty transportation charges and when they have to look you in the face, the arrogance is kept to a minimum.
