I bought a Husqvarna mower YTA18542 thinking I was getting a mower from a more reputable company. I paid a little over 1600 . It took about 3 months for problems to start. It was hard pulling a sweeper behind it going up hill . My yard is not that steep. Then it started having trouble going into reverse. The more I used it, the worse it got. I took to a Husqvarna repair shop and that's when I was told it had a plastic transmission and basically it was crap. They did swing getting me a new transmission. It seemed to work better but now about 9 months later the transmission is giving me trouble again. I should have listened to the dealer who told me I should sell it after I got the new transmission. Footnote, if I see someone looking at these mowers, I tell them my experience. User's recommendation: Do not buy. Its not worth it.
