Recent Lawn Mower Repair Reviews in Indian Trail

I tore my deck support on my riding lawn mower. They came and picked up mower and 4 hrs later the mower was back in my yard with deck repaired (welded-oil change and new blades). Price and service were all great. Will recommend to everyone. Great job guys.

Ricky was wonderful! He set up an appointment very quickly, was a little late, but called to let me know he was on the way. He took care of my problem and took the time to explain to me how best to avoid this issue in the future. He sharpened my mower blade while he was there. He was courteous, wore a mask, and clearly knew his stuff. The price he charged was close to what he had estimated for me on the phone. I could not have been more pleased. Highly recommended.

Very well done: he was on-time, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Had the whole deal wrapped up within an hour.

Went very well, showed up and did all work onsite. Would highly recommend. Got our mower running smoothly

They were knowledgable, professional and friendly. I really appreciated that they found the root cause of the electrical issue rather than replace parts until they found the issue. Plus, the work was accomplished sooner than promised. I will definitely continue to take my mowers to them for maintenance/repair show more

Time was confirmed on Thursday for Saturday service. Arrived on time. Great blade sharpening. Changed oil spark plugs and cleaned air filter. Great technician great price. Used in the past will use again.

Ricky came out to my house to repair our mower on a 95 degree day on Memorial day weekend with one day notice. That alone is amazing. He took the thing completely apart, unclogged and cleaned every part he touched, and explained everything he was doing the whole time. It was a little more expensive than I was prepared for, but for the amount of work he did, how quickly and efficiently he did it, and the way that our mower runs like new, I am thrilled to pay it. He also explained what kind of fuel to use, and how best to maintain it, and has pictures and stories to provide context. He is a super nice man, and we will be calling him in the future for any small engine maintenance or repair needs. Absolutely fantastic experience show more

We ordered the dishwasher handle from Repair Clinic. It arrived quickly, within a week and we were able to install it quickly after looking at an instructional film.

I have always loved this store. The people are really helpful and very friendly. You really get a nice, small town feel walking into their store. I have never had a negative experience there. I recently purchased a shop vac that was defective. I returned to the store, explained my problem, and no questions asked they replaced it!

Scott was excellent. Arrived on time, courteous and professional. He did a complete tune-up on my mower (came with the house so it was new to me) and gave me a quick tutorial on how to change the bag or mulch the lawn. Changed the oil, checked the filter, cleaned up the carburetor, and sharpened the blade. I will be using his services again. show more

As always, I was treating my riding lawn mower as a tank, sure that I could mow down anything that got in my way without actually having to get off the seat to move it, when ta da! I ran into a metal pole that didn?t wish to be pushed around. (By the way, I do not suggest this behavior as I tend to regularly have lawn mower issues. I too know this is not a good idea but I can?t seem to help myself, I get up there on that machine and wild abandon just seems to take over! ) So I called Allen?s Small Engine repair. We had used them for another episode of abandon on my part (I am hanging my head in shame now), but I really can?t remember that episode all that well except that I think we had caught them in a busy time and it took about a week to get the mower back, but other than that all went well, they were very polite, extremely reasonable and professional, and honest enough to fix it and then tell us that he got it running but didn?t think the mower was long for this world. He was right about that mower. In the end it conked out on us. So I got a shiny NEW tank I could treat badly!! So two weeks later?just kidding?it?s been longer than that! About a year later I got into a fight with a metal leg to a birdfeeder, and I thought I won except for the stalling thing that kept happening after I drove away. So I called Allen?s. The receptionist was very nice and even better she stated that they were coming out to my area to drop off a mower and would be by that same day to pick it up. So, about an hour later a very nice and polite gentleman showed up. I told him my tale of woe (without mentioning about using it as a tank- I have some pride!) and he jumped up there and drove it until it stalled. He said it sounded like an engine issue, and not actually from the ?tank versus bird feeder war? I had going on in my backyard. So he got the thing in his trailer and off he went as I stood there with dollar amounts running through my head. Based on my past experiences with lawn mower repairers, I was prepared to wait for a while. Most of these places are just one or two guys fixing mowers and such, so they can get pretty busy at times. But to my surprise I got a call the next day, letting me know that it was ready and he could come by today, or whenever was convenient for me, to drop it off. He said the problem was a lot of gunk in the gas tank and filter. He had to change out the filter and clean out all the gunk I had in there. I?m guessing here, but I suppose the jostling from the run in with the birdfeeder might have just moved stuff around enough to cause it to start stalling when it did. But the important thing to come away with is that Allen?s Small Engine could have very easily TOLD me it was something else and charged me a whole bunch more for what they did, but they chose to be both honest and reasonable instead. In the end the total cost was 82.43 and that was with both picking up and dropping off the mower at my front door, and I asked them to turn off the switch that doesn?t let you mow backwards and that was included in the price as well (I realize it?s a safety mechanism and something you would think I would need, but it actually wound up making me more of a daredevil trying to find ways of getting out of backing up). So, I was so grateful for the very reasonable bill I tried to tip the guy who dropped it off just to let them know how much I appreciated their service; and get this, he wouldn?t take it. He said the economy was bad enough these days, and there was no need in spending more than you had to? My husband said he had tried the last time to tip them also and they wouldn?t take it either. Some very decent folks over there at Allen?s. Definitely renewing my faith in humanity? show more

How Much Can a Lawn Mower Tow?

Towing capacity can be difficult to calculate if you’re looking to be exact. Not only are there a number of factors like your engine specs, transmission specs, and trailer specs, but also the terrain you’re towing on. Cub Cadet’s support team summed it up pretty well:

This is a more complicated issue than it might appear, because “towing capacity” is more of a sales specification than a technical specification. If you picture yourself pushing a 300 lb. wheelbarrow full of dirt, you may think that your “pushing capacity” was at least 300 lbs, but I doubt you would be able to push 300 pounds if it were on a flat sled with no wheels on rough ground. That is a simple analogy explaining why we don’t use towing capacity as a technical specification. Cub Cadet Support Team

That being said, let’s dive into some of the towing capacity determining factors to give you a better idea of what your mower can pull in your specific application.

Manufacturers Recommendation

The first thing I recommend doing is opening up your owner’s manual and flipping to the page that talks about towing. The owner’s manual for your machine should generally be the first place you check as it will be advice specifically tailored to your machines make and model. Each tractor and trailer are different. For example, some mowers will recommend not towing anything at all with them. Other more heavy-duty or commercial options will tow just about anything you throw at them. That being said, let’s look into some of the more general factors that relate to all mower setups.

Terrain

Hills/Inclines – Towing up a hill will effectively increase the load on your tractor and ultimately lead to it being able to tow less than the max you would be able to on level ground. Try to avoid inclines with a slope greater than 10% all together to help avoid damaging your mower. Most owner manuals should contain a slope guide that can be referred to for your specific model of tractor.
Downhill/Declines – Towing downhill will effectively lessen the pulling required for the load, yes, but it can get dangerous if you don’t have the appropriate braking power and give yourself enough distance to come to a complete stop when needed. Always take extra levels of caution when towing downhill.
Wet/muddy – The ground being wet and muddy while towing can cause you to lose traction while towing. Towing through mud (and the resistance on your wheels that comes with it) can effectively decreasing your towing capacity as well.
Rugged/Uneven – Towing on rugged and uneven terrain will mostly have an impact on the quality and smoothness of the ride. But at the same time, your tractor having to pull the load over and through obstacles on uneven terrain can lead to stress on your mower and result in you ultimately being able to tow less.

Horsepower or Torque?

There is definitely a debate for what is more important when towing – horsepower or torque? At the end of the day, both are important when towing with a lawn mower (and trucks!) but they both have separate purposes.

In this case, torque is more important. When searching for riding lawn mowers to use for towing applications, make sure to go for one with a higher torque rating when possible.

Drivetrain

Transmissions play a large role when it comes to pulling with a tractor. You will want to make sure when towing larger loads (350 lbs) you will not want to depress the forward travel pedal no more than halfway to avoid transmission damage. Always run a tractor at full throttle when PTO is engaged and you are towing loads.

Braking Ability

Classic farmer logic is “if you can get it moving, you’re fine”. While I appreciate the commitment to getting the job done, that’s only half of what the saying should be. Making sure you can brake and come to a complete stop when necessary (ESPECIALLY when towing downhill) is extremely important.

Residential lawn and garden tractors most commonly have a transaxle disc-brake stem designed for only the weight of the tractor on slight grades. Add in a heavy load and a downward slope, you could be in trouble. Make sure your brakes are up to par and test accordingly before giving them a heavy workload.

Towing Safety

Safety should always be the top priority when operating equipment and towing with your lawn mower is no different. Here are 10 of the most important aspects to look out for to make sure you are towing with a tractor safely.

Stopping – Yes, we just covered braking ability, but it’s so important I’m kicking this list off with it. Your stopping distance will be increased with the weight of and speed of what you’re towing. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to stop.
Neutral – Be very cautious not to put your tractor in neutral when on a decline. And try to not coast at all when towing.
Turning Sharply – Turning can be very different when towing a heavy load. Make sure you keep your head on a swivel and are paying attention when turning on adverse terrain.
Do not allow children (or other people) on or in your equipment when operating.
Hitches and accessories – Make sure you are only using hitches that are approved for use with your specific tractor. It is not recommended you attach towing equipment anywhere except for the approved hitching point.
Manufacturers Recommendations – Always make sure to read your owners manual and follow any specific manufacturers safety recommendations for your specific machine.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, you should always be referring to your machine’s owners manual for specific recommendations when it comes to towing. Each lawn mower can be different and unique in their own ways. Nobody knows them better than the people who built them.
