I had an old 12 HP Yard Man rider that would have run rings around this Troy-Bilt 17.5 HP Am I wrong for feeling ripped off & deceived? HOW exactly is someone wanting what they paid for being "greedy" Carl? Apparently YOU don't mow grass with a hunk of metal that "says" one thing and doesn't back it up because it CAN'T…IT WAS FRAUD CARL on the part of the companies making this junk…not the trusting millions who bought them.

I do agree that when you spend over $1000.00 for a mower, they are throwing you a bone by giving you "up to" $75.00. So what…I spent that on the first set of belts I had to put on mine after 1/2 season's use. That was just the first of many belts…this thing eats them like candy.
And we talk about China and others producing junk that we buy…what about U.S.?

I also agree that the attorneys are the ones who make the money off lawsuits…not the consumers they represent.
They get the steak dinners…we get the bone.
By the way Carl…my grass needs mowed because my mower doesn't work…can you bring yours over?

I’ll bet the guy saying “get a job” is either an attorney for the mower companies, or someone who “approves” of companies blatantly ripping consumers off. Companies care about their “profits” foremost, and it is always at the expense of the consumers who buy their products. Just look at “customer service” nowadays…it barely exists! They are more or less telling you “we have your money leave us alone”. Kind of like Wall Street. If I go to a restaurant and the meal & service are terrible, I’m probably not going back there. But when you HAVE to have a mower, you pick from what’s available and unfortunately for us there aren’t many “quality” engine builders out there. They don’t give a crap if the mower they sold you is a P.O.S..

Amen Carl Pieczynski. Just a bunch of greedy Lawyers out to make money the “American” way. Sue! And we pay the bill. I think we need to file a class action lawsuit against some attorneys.

We get $35 or $75 and the lawyers get a million or two and the company raises the price of the product to cover the cost of the settlement.

Who do you think really benefits from this settlement.

Wake up people!!! our greed for a few dollars is making lawyers rich and our products cost more.
You can’t sue a company, you are suing yourself, the company just raises their prices.
