Husqvarna TC 130

A happy owner – Great mower, effective and easy to use - I've had it for three years now. Mowing about 1000 level sq metres weekly in warm weather - nearly 8 months annually in my location. It took me a couple of mowing sessions to sort out the things that were a problem. Keeping it brief, here are the things: 1. wouldn't mow in reverse - solution is in the handbook, you just need to turn the key anti-clockwise one notch while the engine is running; 2. the chute from the cutter head to collector bag frequently got blocked - sometimes this was operator negligence in not emptying the collector bag before it was full! Other issue was not running the engine at full throttle - this is essential particularly when the grass is wet and/or long. Also affected by the height setting for the cutter. It's had regular oil changes and it kept clean and dry after use. No real problems to speak of.

Very disappointed! – After purchasing the TC130 with integrated catcher, it performed well, but after only 2 uses, the shoot always gets blocked and cut grass doesn't reach the rear catcher, Unless grass is bone dry and cutting height is high, it is hopeless. Any green grass just wont get to the catcher and am having to constantly clear the catcher debris shoot with a piece of conduit or something. Very disappointing machine and useless as catcher just doesn't work.
