  3. so after a month from the original order, a big white panel truck arrived in front of my home. the driver knocked on my door a said he had a delivery for me. i asked for the invoice and lo and behold it was the lawn mower that i ordered from troy bilt. i politely told the driver i was refusing the delivery as i already received a full refund from troy bilt for the previously damaged crate that was returned to troy bilt by the shipping company the driver called his supervisor and while on speaker phone i explained the troy bilt saga. she then told the driver to return back to the terminal and theyll send it back to troy bilt i had also told the customer service agent at troy bilt to not send me another mower as i no longer wanted their product. i guess that didnt get through to anybody

  18. my brother advised me against a zero turn mower. told me i'd be too confused operating it my yard really isn't big enough for one anyway. not much yard between two mobile homes
  19. i had owned a troy bilt riding mower for a number of years when it finally shit the bed the deck was warped, it needed a brake to stop the blade from spinning and it also needed a spindle it was a good little mower for the size of my small yard and of the neighbors i cut grass for. i mow 7 yards in my neighborhood i put it out in my yard with a free sign on it and it was gone by the end of the day i got on the troy bilt website and ordered a new one after waiting a couple of weeks, no mower was delivered. i contacted troy bilt and the shipping company only to find out it was stuck in a shipping terminal in birmingham alabama. i checked the shipping company website again only to see that it was "delivered". Where? not at my house a call to the shipping company for an explanation, they told me it was returned to troy bilt because of a damaged shipping box i called troy bilt customer service explaining to them the box situation but they hadn't received it back then i got an email from troy bilt with a full refund for the mower i didnt want to do any more business with troy bilt so i ended up at my local john deer dealer and got a new mower. it was delivered the next day its a little bigger (wider) than the troy bilt but i can mow in the same places as the troy bilt. i hope this one lasts as long as the other one nothing runs like a deere ๐Ÿ˜ thats my story and i'm sticking to it
