Review of Husqvarna 7021P 21-Inch 160cc Honda GCV Gas Powered Lawn Mower

I admit I have a rather large back yard, but it is still under 1/2 acre.Lots of heavy duty weeds.If I can keep them mowed, no problem. However, my 15 year old gas powered mower finally bit the dust this year.I attempted to fix it, but metal parts kept falling off.(I have lived here 3 years.)So, from past experience, I decided to just buy a brand new lawn mower. Of all the mowers I looked at, most of the ones I wanted were way over-priced for my budget.It was almost by accident that I found the Husqvarna mower. I'd never heard of the company, but I looked it up on the web and it seemed to have good credentials. Lots of people know about their chainsaws. The saleslady was very knowledgeable. The price was right. I liked the idea of the Honda engine, the larger rear wheels, the mulching vs rear bagging, vs side shooting options. I was very careful to read the instructions when I got the mower home. It even has a gas line that shuts off.The choke is great.. just slide the lever and pull the cord.No problem. The blades are nice and sharp.I started out at the tallest setting I could since the weeds had, by now, invaded the back yard. I got about 1/2 way through that first night before it got too dark to see.The second time, I continued on with the tall weeds removal.No problem.Since I had MOST of the tall weeds defeated, I decided to go back over the lawn with a lower blade setting.The mower was doing GREAT!! I was so thrilled I'd made this purchase!!I got about 1/10 of the yard mowed when I heard a metallic CLANG sound.I pulled up on the mower, thinking I had inadvertentaly mowed over something.I couldn't see anything so I started mowing, again. Same thing.I shut off the mower and tipped it up enough so I could see the underside of the mower deck.The blades looked fine. Then I saw that a metal strip at the front of the mower, underneath the deck, had come off on one side and it was rubbing against the mower blades.SIGH.Since I have only had the mower a couple of weeks.. and since it had a 2 year warranty .. I am hoping to get the part welded back on so it will stay there for eternity!!But, even though (knock on wood) the engine seems to be doing very well, I hope the rest of the mower doesn't fall apart whenever I attempt to mow my lawn.I noticed they didn't say WHERE the mower, itself, was made.The Honda engine is made in Canada.I'll report back if/after the mower is repaired and remark as to whether or not this was just a freak thing.Maybe I should buy a couple of goats.
