Welcome from upper NY. Weedeater one looks like a cheaper mower mower under 700 $. Just what problims have you had with it. When I googled it they said a three year warrany? Looks like a briggs engine which is good.

Hello reynoldston, The first time I mowed with it the seat fell off with me on it, bolt rattled away. The brake/clutch cable with a little cheap plastic clip broke and I was without the mower for 3 weeks while it was at a service center 30 miles away only to find out later there is one paracticaly in my backyard about 8 miles away. The belt came off do to a metal type gaurd the shape of a hook that spun around loose. The front tire now blew out on it's own just sitting in my shed with a defect in the sidewall. The tire is a wierd size that no one other than these guys use. I litterly have only mowed less than what you can count on your hands with with this thing. Knock on wood the engine has been fine. Very dissapointing unit I bought.- By the way I used to live near Marion, N.Y. in Palmyra a few years ago.

Sorry to hear you are having so many problems. Just for a little more money you could of bought a MTD or Craftsman. You got what you got so maybe you will have better luck after you work all the bugs out of it.

HI WALLETEATER, the only place i have seen the weedeater one riders for sale (new) is walmart and similar smaller stores,those stores i'm guessing don't employ the best set-up crews to put stuff together,so how likely do you think that some of the problems could be from un-trained personel.through the years i have seen a lot of them in action and...........Ideas here-tire blown out= maybe way too much air.seat hardware not correctly installed?food for thought here,hope you get the bugs worked out.
