Husqvarna at least only list accredited dealers who actually have heard of Husqvarna but a lot of these are concerned with robot mowers and small stuff.
Again a bit misleading if you are assuming they are going to want to get involved in big stuff that might have to get hauled away.
It's worth giving them a call to confirm. The (Husky website) dealer I bought from don't even list Husky on their own website but they do sell and service a lot of the gear.Again a bit misleading if you are assuming they are going to want to get involved in big stuff that might have to get hauled away.
Very apt timing - our new house requires a bigger mower and I found this thread a month or so ago. Thank you irish boy for the really useful advice; I would not have known anything about Al-ko previously and that's what I went for: https://www.gardenmachinerydirect.co.uk/shop/al-ko... - due to be delivered next week.
I'm hoping I've ordered the right thing. My wife demanded a collector because she hates the grass clippings being walked around the patio and house (as do I) and I don't want to mow often enough for a mulcher to work effectively. I did really fancy one of the Husqvarna out-front mowers, and 4wd would be useful with a few slopes round our garden, but the collector models are very expensive and seem pretty complicated with the augur feeding the grass box. Hence going for a traditional ride-on for simplicity, and hopefully reliability.
I really ought to have planned it in advance and found a bargain on eBay or at Brightwells.
