Bought the Troy-Bilt tb30 riding mower in August. Ranted about three times last year and when I cranked it up this year it sputters and spits like it's running out of gas and then shuts off after 5 minutes. It's still under warranty but I have to pay $125 for the distributor to come pick it up and bring it back and they're 8 weeks out on repairing it which means everybody cutting my grass all summer with a push mower. I highly recommend not buying a Troy-Bilt
