Ride on Mower

 
I bought this machine for our community centre and was very pleased. But
with
20 hours on the clock, the belt that drives the three blades
snapped. It took
nerarly 4 weeks to get it replaced.

On examination I found the tension arm pulley not to be in the same
plane as the
remaining pulleys. It was and still is out by more 3/8 of
an inch!! As an
engineerI found this hard to accept and only after
several e-mails and photos
and telephones to the Head Office of Barrus
Ltd did they accept that the wrong
tension arm was fitted. I am still
waiting 5 weeks later for the correct part to
be fitted. The second
belt is already wearing out on one side.

Only on day one did we hit the stones twice. Since then the worst
object would
be this branches. But the blades look very sorry after 40
hours.
Are blades normally hardened?

I wonder if anybody else has experienced similar.

I paid UK £3500 for Allrounder Cub Cadet zero turn.

At this price I expect the tension pully arm in the same plane as other
pulleys.
