I purchased a Husqvarna riding lawnmower from Lowes I did not buy the extended warranty because Husqvarna has printed right on the lawn more bumper to bumper warranty for three years after one season the deck came apart at the weld The Husqvarna a sign shop in Albuquerque stated that I Musta hit a rock in order to break up the Husqvarna would not cover it the funny thing is there is not a dent nowhere on the deck for a rock would have come up and hit it they claim that I Mustve hit it right on the world perfectly my advice to everybody is never buy Husqvarna products my neighbor bought a John Deere the same time I bought mine and his is still perfect
