Husqvarna makes some very good equipment... no problems with quality.
They are known mostly for their chain saws, but their mowers are also
very good.
Some used ones do pop up for sale....

The only problem with them here is the lack of a decent dealer and
availability of parts. Most Husqvarnas around here are sold at
Lowe's... no service available.
You will like the large wheels on the back of your mower. Gives you
more leverage when raising the deck to make turns. The only drawback on
your model is the rear bagger that can make the mower harder to push
when it is full. If you use the chute or the mulcher, there are no
drawbacks... it is a good machine.
Our mower hunt is on hold until the end of the month. We are going on a
cruise one week from today and are too busy to be doing much shopping.
Besides, once August arrives, prices may come down a bit.
