• Cultivator
---
• Troy-Bilt

Besides selling equipment under its own name, MTD manufactures brands including Huskee, Troy-Bilt, Ranch King, Yard-Man, Ryobi and who knows what else.

There seem to be some common threads running through these complaints ... most notably, steering problems on the lawn tractors. Doug, meanwhile, has learned that the steel safety shield on the chipper/shredder is no match for a disintegrating blade.

Another common gripe is the difficulty of communicating with the company through its Web site. Rodney of Red Boiling Springs TN (5/1/03):
Bought an MTD Yard-Man 400 series string trimmer at local Wal-Mart. Assembled & started. String head would not turn. Boy was I not happy! Made 30-mile round trip to return. Wal-Mart was very apologetic. Exchanged for another that works ok so far. MTD web site will not allow complaints. All they want is to sell you another piece of poor quality equipment.
