7 Most Common Problems with Spartan Mower

Spartan mowers are one of the most powerful cutting machines in the industry.

With more comfort, better maneuverability, faster speed, and increased fuel efficiency, they have disrupted the traditional mowing sense.

However, Spartan owners have faced some issues over the years that you should know in advance. The following are the 7 most common problems with Spartan mowers.

1. Uneven Cut

Among all the complaints, dealing with uneven cuts is the most common one. lots of customers are facing it and there are lots of discussions on the topic.

But the surprising fact is that it is not the direct fault of the manufacturer. It seems that either the dealer or the customer is responsible for it.

If the deck is not clean or the air pressure is not right, the cuts may not be as expected. Moreover, the same problem can occur when the blade gets dull.

So, it the duty of a user to regularly check the deck and the blades. Make sure that they are in perfect conditions, and the mower would provide smooth performance.

Installing the wrong blade or not correcting the belt tension can lead to the same disappointing results. Solutions for both issues are in the hands of your dealer.

1. Starting Issues

You must know that the successful starting of a mower (not only Spartan) depends on the condition of several components and connections.

Common reasons are: bad wiring, weak or dead battery, dirty or disengaged spark plug, blocked air filter, old gas.

2. Not Enough Power

Compared to other competitor models, lots of people think that this is an underpowered lawnmower considering the size.

However, there are opposing opinions on this matter.

3. Less Reliable

Here, I want to shine the light on two matters. One is the too much reliability on electronics, and another is the use of non-metal parts.

I am not saying that having a smart operating system and lots of techs onboard is a bad thing. But it can go bad very easily, and troubleshooting the problems is not possible for users.

4. Keypad Going Bad

Normally, outdoor machines such as mowers should have all electronic components protected. Rain or snow must not affect them.

But that is not the case for the mowers from Spartan. If you leave the mower outside, your machine’s keypad may go bad.

5.  Deck Noise

Another complaint was about hearing very loud noises after engaging the blades.

Tip: As soon as you hear such loud noises, you should stop the machine and take it to the nearby shop for repair.

6. Fuel and Air Gauge

The nature of this issue is that after filling up the fuel tank, one may notice that the gauge is indicating a partially full reservoir.

Spartan Dealer’s Experience

Spartan Mower dealers complain that products from Spartan get returned for repair more often than other brands.

Final Thought

Those are some common issues face by Spartan Owners. One thing I want to mention is that their customer service is very good. If you are facing any problem, you should first contact your seller and then the Spartan.
