I am very unhappy with what I thought was a well designed mower but it appears it is just "the same" as everything else out there. Please improve the thickness of the plastic on the large rear wheels or you will loose more "Brand Loyal" customers in the future. Don't degrade the brand by going cheap on components. You can't cut the grass when you don't have a rear wheel, very frustrating.
Thanks for your attention,
Chuck
I bought the HU700L about 2 weeks ago. Every time I start it (when the engine is cold) it smokes and smells bad for about a minute. I think it's getting worse every time I start it. Is this normal for a break in period or is there something wrong with the engine? I checked the oil and it's filled to the proper level. I've got about 4.5 hrs on the engine so far.
