| Not happy with MTD support |
| By Wayne (Deforest, WI) |
I bought this model 600 series in the fall of 2008, I first used it in December. I had to run it with the choke part way out so it would run, but it had no power.
I called MTD and they told me to take it to an authorized service place near me. They said the carburetor was faulty. I waited over 1-1/2 months for him to get the carb and this was when I needed the blower the most. I bought it so I would have a snow blower when I needed it.
I am thankful I kept the old one that is 22 years old and is well worn. I got the new one back, and used it one more time on a 3-inch snowfall. The shoes were worn down so the tub was wearing on the pavement- my old blower's shoes lasted 10 years or more.
I fired it up this week, checked it over and the chute would not turn when I cranked it. I had to modify the coil on the crank shaft so it would engage the chute.
I asked MTD to extend my warranty by the amount of time it was laid up. They asked me to jump through all kinds of hoops. They had my original registration. I told them that if they had faith in the product like they wanted me to have, then adjusting the warranty should not be a problem.
I also did not know that they were putting their own engines on them. At first blush it looked like a Briggs to me. I think all the parts are made in China. Do not expect to get much info on the motor in the manual. They don't give it to you.
I have owned lawn tractors and snow blowers made by MTD in the past and they served well for the money. But now it is more about how the customer service is so pathetic. They need to change how they treat their customers and make a reliable product, or they will not be around much longer.
I think they got that large corporate attitude and look at today's profit to sell the company to some other large business and are not in it for the long haul.
If you like to be treated like a deserving customer, look elsewhere. I am sure you worked hard for your money, invest it wisely. DO NOT buy MTD. |
