Our club MTD mower is now due for its 5th repair this year by the
Authorised
Dealer (cutter drive belts).
Getting really Pd off with this - any reliablity experiences with
MTD or other
manufacturers of ride-on (or even walk behind). The engine has given
no trouble
but the double-cutter twisted V belt is lasting for less than one
cut...


We have a Bolen double cutter mulching ride on mower (USA make).
Had it 9 years. Copes with 0.5 acres of grass.
Fault log - 1 flat battery, my fault! That was the year it didn't get
an annual service.
Original battery topped up, recharged, and still going strong.
No complaints.
