    Question:
    Not a question, more of a rant.
    Details:

    So I bought my WE261 just over a year ago. Within 1 month my transmission comes apart. Finally find a "service shop" that will even touch the thing. Had to wait MONTHS to get it back. 2 weeks later the brake cable breaks, back to the service shop and another 1 month repair. Then finally get it back and start mowing, one of the front wheels literally had dry rotted. Not wanting to have to drive 30 miles to the repair shop and pay all their extra fees on top of what warranty "doesnt pay for" I replaced the wheel myself. Now I have an awesome intermittent "wont start back up once ran" issue

    Thank you for making the biggest piece of junk ever. I will not be buying ANYTHING else made by your company again under any nameplate you put on it. I mean really this thing has been at the reapir shop more than my garage.

      I think the "answer army" stopped trolling the WE261 page becuase there was so many issues with this mower. After my brake cable broke I went to the saferproducts.gov page and filed a report. I urge anyone else that had their brake cable break to do the same thing.

      Totally agree with you!!  Had the POS for less than a year, normal lawn...first the wheels all had to be replaced, then the steering went out, then the transmission, just got it back from the shop...it is just out of warranty now and it is still messing up after they replaced the transmission.....I really want my money back on this piece of crap!!!!
