Re: Big Dog Mowers - Problems, problems, problems
Iʻve had my Big Dog Alpha MP 48" model, for about 2 years. I have had a single consistent problem/issue with this mower; the drive belt is constantly falling off and because it falls off alot, it breaks alot. Iʻve replaced this belt over a dozen times (yes more then 12 times). It just broke again, and when I replaced it, it keeps falling off as soon as I start the engine, looks like the tension idler is bent, what a pain in my a**. Also the seat back is broken and this happened within the 1st year and Iʻm under 200lbs. I have a little over an acre and a half of lawn to mow and I mow roughly every 2 to 3 weeks. I only have 110 hours on the machine. My advice is buy something else.
