Title: MTD expensive piece of crap
Product review: The motor is good, the deck is good. This model has a defective design that eats up belts so quickly, it is too expensive to operate. The pully is mounted on a long bolt that always bends due to the belt tension, this causes the belt to get chewed up.I've had mine for a little over a year and have gone thru at least 10 deck belts, 5 drive belts, 3 blade belts, and 2 transmission belts. Customer service is really hard to deal with. They always say that their design is fine , it's the person operating it that is causing the damage. I've taken it to several "authorized" dealers and private shops and they say the same, "it has a defective design" but MTD refuses to acknowledge. What good is a mower that breaks belts constantly?next spring I will remove motor and put it on a different mower then scrap this worthless rider.
