I mean it is possible. Look how many times Ford has said not to park your vehicle in the garage cause they are randomly catching on fire. I think dodge had a issue too. With all these electronics now days means more wires. Now im not in anyway saying this is what happened but it is possible
The only problem we had are the side discharge arms for the side flap are weak. Most comfortable mower we ever used, especially with the front suspension.
I own a Spartan mower and LOVE it. BEST MOWER OUT THERE > PERIOD !! It makes the green and yellow coloured lawn mowers pathetic ! Looks like you were just unlucky. They ALL need maitanance. My mower is three years old and NEVER had a single issue. Been through four sets of blades as it has done a heap of work.
Mine is 3 yrs old, 500 hours not a single problem other than a faulty front tire. Called my dealer they made a service call bringing it to my house even changing my tire. Not saying you had a good mower but I’ll be buying another spartan if this one breaks down.
I have a 2016 srt 54 inch cut and I just had my first problem. The control panel went out. They sent mechanic to my home and did the repair same day I called. You can't judge one bad thing to all mowers. It sounds like your dealer is part of the problem. Customer service is key to all equipment. I don't know what problems you had because you do not explain. So it with out the complete story it's hard to make informed decisions. I have nearly 500 hours on it and only one problem which was fixed promptly. I recommend them because of the good service I have gotten. I know other mower brands have problems and dealer service is key to any equipment. I know it can sour a person when problems arise. I don't think it's right to bash the company just over one mower. Like I said every brand of equipment can have a lemon and things don't just burn with out a cause. We need the whole story of all the problems. Sorry it happened.
We currently run 3 Spartan’s commercially and the customer service has been top notch! I will be adding a new stander model soon. Machines are man made and things do go wrong of course but it’s hard to believe that Spartan would just turn their back on any owner , would really like to hear the full story on this ordeal.
This is the whole store l would love to know why as well ! since you seem to be tight with them. Why don’t you ask them and see if you can get any answers ? I’m just a nobody. They made that PERFECTLY CLEAR !!!! If you would like a history on this mower feel free to reach out to ChaseCo in Sullivan Mo. ask for Andrew. He has all the work orders on this machine !
Couple questions: 1. Which motor was it running? 2. Which issues did you have prior to this incident? You said it was showroom clean, so no dead grass or leaves, so that common issue(across all brands) isn't a source. I have hard of some wiring getting sheered by the clutch on a couple instances, though they were caught early and remedied. From what you've provided, the dealer definitely didn't want to do their after pruchase customer service.
@@RedStateSniper Bitch nah I didn't vote for neither one! Sucka and yeah I'm a nigga if that what you getting at. 😂😂 Your simple mind think all of black voted for Biden you a new fool. 😂😂 That kkk crap is played out sucka.
The only issues I see of them it the PTO not engaging.. simple wire fix. No other issues. I’ve seen one (not a Spartan) come in not as bad as yours .. customer said all the bull crap .. told them “look at the mower!! Dead grass all over it … filthy .. and the dead leaves and dry grass and stuff on a hot xhaust will do that!! Told him it’s good to power wash his mower!! Some just neglect the machine and blame it on the machine when it’s them. ..
@@RedStateSniper I’m not clue ness. Think about it. All or most have the same drive trains ..ZT trannys or Kawasaki..Kohler .. or Briggs .. the only thing difference is the frames and decks .. wiring is basically the same with safety switches .. PTO buttons. The only thing I could see is maybe the digital keyboard /pad if your had it. I’ve worked and the shop sold hundreds of these machines and not one ever caught on fire .. yours is the only one. Like I said … Landscrapers need to power wash and keep them clean .. all the leaves and debris on the exhaust or trapped in the motor may start a fire. Seen mice nests under the covers also. Yours is the first.
@@styga1969 It did have the digital keypad it had been in the shop five times prior for the electronic choke also key pad had been replaced item was never fixed from day one item was sitting in my driveway clean no debris absolutely ready to be stored for the winter I was at work came home and it was completely burnt up now if you wanna accuse me of anything else buddy feel free to but you have not a clue what’s going on. Spartan mowers are complete shit the rep completely turned his back on me and the people I bought it from and the people I bought it from no longer deal with spartan mowers
@@RedStateSniper never accused you of anything pal .. good luck 👍 don’t buy a bad boy ..and that’s from a tech who worked on them all. Get a bobcat … the best .. best frames and decks. Oh .. with a Kawasaki motor also.
Mower was blowed off every time after use with my backpack blower never stored dirty you don’t pay $10,000 for a machine and then let it get covered with shit The issue is spartan never stood behind my mower from the day I bought it in the dealership that I bought it from no longer deals in Spartans for the fact that Spartan does not stand behind their machines
Do your research. They have a lot of issues. Keypads going out. Deck height selector randomly changing. Spartan catches the eye with slick looks and useless features like arm rests on the lap bars and keyless start. You don't see many commercial crews running them and there is a good reason. I am from Arkansas where they are made, so I probably see more than most.
Well if yiu don't blow the dry grass out of the engine compartment, brakes , pulleys and so on after then that's your own fault. Dry grass and excessive heat do not mix . I dont care what mower it is . People makes this mistake all the time. When your done cutting , blow the grass clippings off the mower. Don't blame the company
There’s more to the story here, so much left unknown and not clear. I’m a mechanic and a piece of machinery left sitting for 3 weeks just doesn’t catch fire on it’s on and I’ve seems some odd stuff with the diesel trucks I work on. Next..
I call bs... I've owned 3 Spartans since 2018 and the mowers have been great. No issues. However, I do MAINTAIN them religously. Meaning keeping it CLEAN etc.
I bought the first year. Never had a problem in 8 years. This guy is bitter because he thought he could get away without insurance. These are excellent machines.
You’re a fucking moron you don’t have a fucking clue what you’re talking about why don’t you just shut the fuck up you moron everything I have is insured keep voting for Biden you piece of shit You’re probably in this country illegal anyways you’re fucking criminal
No I contacted them 2 days in a row about it. They promised that someone would reach out to me. I haven’t heard a peep from anyone. They don’t care. But when One of these catches on fire in someone’s garage and kill somebody then it will be a different story than the lawsuit start I’m already in process of my lawsuit
@coopercreekcutslawncare I enjoy your videos & work ethic, have been a sponge as of late. Absorbing all & any lawn care & maintenance for my business adventures next year. Thank you for your services & content
Damn. Might as well post this on their social media and review, Yelp, google reviews. and hash tag it. I’d say they owe you your money back. And maybe a new mower for free, that you can just sell.
@@chaselesser3191 The only thing they are doing is ignoring all of this. All I can ask is for all you great people is to share this video and it’s informative message Maybe we can get their attention if we kill their sells. The product doesn’t make a company the people do. And from what I experienced is they have a pathetic juvenile Co. at best that needs to grow up and be responsible for its mistakes
So , before the fire what was wrong with it , we also have to remember Ford had problems with there explorers catching fire , because I think the cruise control would stay on an over heat. Scag similar problems to bad routing of fuel lines.
From the day I bought it it would not cut grass right we would have to make two or three passes slowly the mower would not start most the time and when it did start if it died during operation it would not start again for a whole day they replace the electric clutch four times never fixed it they replaced the control panel twice didn’t fix it contacted them couple dozen times about the problems they just don’t care Jeff Kelly the rep is a worthless POS they will not return your calls they were not interested in what caused the fire they’re not worried about anybody else owning one or being hurt spartan is worthless spineless company. All I can say is if you own a Spartan you better get rid of it your life or your family’s life may be in serious danger
Did you call the dealer? Or call toro? They bought out spartan in 2022. I have the 54” stand on model KG pro with the vanguard big block. Love it. Replaced my 61” SRT. Had 2 small issues with that but had great communication with the dealer and they came out same day, under warranty and everything. I switched because I’ve I prefer stand ons and needed a smaller deck. Actually wish they made a 48” deck
Im sorry man. Im glad you and your family are ok. Glad it wasnt in your garage or close to your house. I can tell the vid is legit some of property is burnt i feel for you man.
Patrick Farrell I have a Spartan 54” RT With a Kawasaki FR691V 32 run hours and won’t run. Dealer says parts are back ordered with no end date. Spartan Customer service was no help with resolution and told me to take it up with the dealer. Very poor support and reliability.
Hopefully you didn’t try to fix it yourself cause the reps are gonna be like “it was probably something you did to cause that”. Too many damn safety features for one.
Operator error or insurance fraud 110% You'll never be happier with anything else. It's not a scag because it's cheaper but it's a great machine. You set this thing on fire
How about you go fuck yourself know at all you don’t have a fucking clue by the way your wife’s in her fucking your brother dumb ass motherfucking moron quit voting for Biden you dumb ass
All I can say is Spartan does not care about their products or their customers they were not interested in this at all so now I own a Husqvarna and I am very happy with it
these mowers and bottom of barrel junk mowers we sold them for less than 6 months had to get them out of our stores u will see over and over again issues rattles deck issues key pad issues have had 10 traded in under 100 hours because owners hate them junk ass machines run run run away asap buy quality this isnt it as u can see in this video and keep looking there are more videos like this
Ive put over 8,000 hours on exmark lazer z and literally never have issues in the ten years running them 12 hours a day april-oct. The new hustlers are legit but if you have the money go with exmark 100%
lmao your problem was not the mower. I know enough about zero turns to say, there is something you did wrong if the mower caught fire sitting in the yard.
It’s sadden me that this happened to you too. You will get ZERO help from Spartan their company is worthless as well as their Rep Jeff Kelly. Best thing to do is post a video of the remains on UA-cam so we can inform the public and also force this selfish company to answer for these catching fire The odds are getting thin for them. Next time it could be someone home along with the people inside. You’ll need to file a report with your attorney general And contact the BBB. I hope no one was hurt. I care Spartan DOESN’T!!! Please keep me posted.
Probably so but the fact that Spartan turned a deft ear to me says a lot about the company. I’m glad you like your. I’m completely satisfied wit my PTZ-60 it’s an incredible machine
@@crawdady2837 wait until you have to get Spartan to stand behind it IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. WORST MOWER AND COMPANY PERIOD !!!! No matter how many of my post you comment on. You’ll never change the fact that Spartan mower company care about NOTHING but making $$$$. Their customers have no merit to them
The looks is what attracted me to buy. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover . Had a Troy built mustang for 8 yrs before this brother bought it. It’s still going strong 12 yrs
I have 2 spartan mowers, on my 54" mower, you wouldn't believe it but the welds on the frame , several cracked and rusted. Took it in and Spartan folks couldn't believe what they saw, they said they have never seen that issue as long as they been in business. Crazy to believe for sure. That's about all I had wrong with that mower for 4 years. I also have a 61" Spartan mower and haven't had any major issues with it. They both run and cut fantastic!
I don’t know the answer to that but my Husky PTZ60 that I replaced the Spartan with has been nothing but a monster. Completely satisfied with it it also has a 5 year warranty
Hi Darrel, I had a company ignore my calls. I finally got the idea to call my state attorney general. They stepped in and helped me get some of my money back. I wasn't dealing with a mower company tho.
@RedStateSniper Either am I dicky. But just because you don't service your mower doesn't mean the brand is bad. In fact, it ranks higher than many of what is thought to be "top of the line". Dickey. I've had mine 7 fucking years and other than gas gauge not one problem.
So my best bet is to stick with john deere huh... I test drove a spartan too and for some reason the people that sell them don't seem to be all thrilled with spartan... makes me wonder and I told them I own a john deere e120 mower they said why would you give that up for a spartan... hmm making me wonder on spartan mowers... sad because I like the design but if they all gonna be faulty like this seen in this video than forget it! John deere it is! Besides parts are extremely easy n convenient to get than any other mower brand that's out there
Sounds like good advice. I bought a commercial grade Husky 60” It amazing what a difference this mower is compared to that Spartan. No more double or triple passes for me It’s hard to believe Spartan won’t be bankrupt in the near future with the death traps and inferior weed eaters they sell
I honestly hate to see & hear you are going through all this. Me & my father purchased a mower this winter for the next season. I am truly blown away by it in every way. But I am just now finding your video. Concerns me a bit, hope you find some kind of resolve & compensation. It might be the fact you may just have purchased a lemon out of the bunch. My father's coworker owns a 2016 model with no issues... I know why it would make you feel betrayed & disgusted with the whole company/brand. I don't knock you for it.
Possible but the fact that Spartan total turned their back on me shows they don’t care about their customers and shouldn’t be in business my Husky is 10X the mower the Spartan ever was
You would have to ask the manufacturer that they completely blew me off like I was a piece of shit didn’t want nothing to do with me. Doesn’t care about their machine burning up just sitting there so if you’re thinking about buying one of these, I wouldn’t park it inside it’s nothing but a death trap.
Bought it new had problems right off the peps I bought it from worked with all they could. It never cut right always left grass standing had to cut slow make double passes replaced electric clutch 3 times never fixed it replaced gas gauge didn’t die it replace electric panel Mower never put away dirty it had be sitting in driveway for 3 week come home from work and it had burnt it’s self to the ground. Spartan rep Jeff Kelly was a total jerk called HQ they promised me he would contact me. Still haven’t heard a peep from them They are not worth the money they DON’T /WON’T stand behind there sale.
How many hours did it have? I don’t get how it flames up without a hot engine or fuel leak. I run exmark, but seen spartan as it’s the newest brand as far as I know.. it’s crazy they don’t help you, but if it happened to someone like saving green he would have a new mower the next day. That’s there goal, have someone big show it off without any problems and everyone else goes running to it. Yet the support they give is non existent
@@getinmabellyclips it had the panel replaced at around 50 hours. Had another 30 on it when it burnt. It wouldn’t start most of the time. And when it did if it stalled while mowing you were done until it decided to start again. As for how it burnt. I’d love to know that too. Seems Spartan would also but no !!! I came home for lunch at 11:15 and it was all done but the ties still smoking
Doesn't look that bad. Throw some new blades on and keep on mowing
Sounds like my boss all day....
So your telling me it just caught on fire ?? It was sitting there and it magically burned up??
Lightning 😂
I mean it is possible. Look how many times Ford has said not to park your vehicle in the garage cause they are randomly catching on fire. I think dodge had a issue too. With all these electronics now days means more wires. Now im not in anyway saying this is what happened but it is possible
Insurance job
Mice damage? @@justinRoo88
There must be more to this story. Electrical short or fuel issue. I also have seen fires from dry grass buildup.
Perhaps a lack of maintenence.
The only problem we had are the side discharge arms for the side flap are weak. Most comfortable mower we ever used, especially with the front suspension.
I own a Spartan mower and LOVE it. BEST MOWER OUT THERE > PERIOD !! It makes the green and yellow coloured lawn mowers pathetic ! Looks like you were just unlucky. They ALL need maitanance.

Get back to me after it burns your house down
I’ve had my Spartan for a year and no problems, although things can happen to anything anytime
So true there are lemons out there

Spartan Mower are JUNK
So it won't run, probably a Kawasaki issue. Nothing to do with spartan
I looked at Spartan mowers and they have come great features that I really like, but that control panel is a deal breaker for me. Period
There’s no problem with the panel on mine. And hinders any would-be thieves.
I have had problems since my first cut.. I agree. Worst mower I have ever used.. Seriously regret the purchase
Sorry to hear that
Now problem is you’ll never get them to work on it or repair it properly
The deck is just a poor design.. Collects way to much grass and leaves two strips of grass.. Hydraulics is leaking.. 12 hours on it
Hopefully you didn’t try to fix it yourself cause the reps are gonna be like “it was probably something you did to cause that”. Too many damn safety features for one.
Will it still cut though?
Operator error or insurance fraud 110%

Probably so but the fact that Spartan turned a deft ear to me says a lot about the company. I’m glad you like your. I’m completely satisfied wit my PTZ-60 it’s an incredible machine
I have the same one and love it
@@crawdady2837 wait until you have to get Spartan to stand behind it IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. WORST MOWER AND COMPANY PERIOD !!!! No matter how many of my post you comment on. You’ll never change the fact that Spartan mower company care about NOTHING but making $$$$. Their customers have no merit to them
I have toros and exmarks, I always thought the Spartan mowers looked cool
The looks is what attracted me to buy. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover . Had a Troy built mustang for 8 yrs before this brother bought it. It’s still going strong 12 yrs
Mine works great I love my Spartan RT Pro never had a problem with it cuts my grass like crazy period has a Kohler motor on it runs awesome
This brother?
I have 2 spartan mowers, on my 54" mower, you wouldn't believe it but the welds on the frame , several cracked and rusted. Took it in and
Spartan folks couldn't believe what they saw, they said they have never seen that issue as long as they been in business. Crazy to believe for sure. That's about all I had wrong with that mower for 4 years.
I also have a 61" Spartan mower and haven't had any major issues with it. They both run and cut fantastic!
I really want to buy a spartan. Has there been any updates? Please say yes!
I don’t know the answer to that but my Husky PTZ60 that I replaced the Spartan with has been nothing but a monster. Completely satisfied with it
it also has a 5 year warranty
I paissed off the reps, left for 5 hrs and came home to it burnt 😂
Hi Darrel, I had a company ignore my calls. I finally got the idea to call my state attorney general. They stepped in and helped me get some of my money back. I wasn't dealing with a mower company tho.
Definitely wasn’t a Kawasaki motor. Must of been a Briggs or Kohler.
Or maybe he DID have insurance. Hmmmm....
Everything I own is insured, moron I’m no goddamn liberal piece of shit
@RedStateSniper Either am I dicky. But just because you don't service your mower doesn't mean the brand is bad. In fact, it ranks higher than many of what is thought to be "top of the line". Dickey. I've had mine 7 fucking years and other than gas gauge not one problem.
I traded mine in for a Ferris after 1 year
I thought about trading mine off but really glad I didn’t now. I would have felt awful if it would have injured anyone
I love my Ferris z3x hope you do too
Thats a first. Probly user error
So what ended up happening about this situation?
Spartan did nothing ignored me like I didn’t exist. I bought a Husqvarna PTZ-60 And it’s 10X the mower the Spartan ever was
@@RedStateSniper what spartan model and deck size did you have?
@@jakegandy1173 XTF61
I have a spartan and I really like it😊
So my best bet is to stick with john deere huh... I test drove a spartan too and for some reason the people that sell them don't seem to be all thrilled with spartan... makes me wonder and I told them I own a john deere e120 mower they said why would you give that up for a spartan... hmm making me wonder on spartan mowers... sad because I like the design but if they all gonna be faulty like this seen in this video than forget it! John deere it is! Besides parts are extremely easy n convenient to get than any other mower brand that's out there
Sounds like good advice. I bought a commercial grade Husky 60” It amazing what a difference this mower is compared to that Spartan. No more double or triple passes for me It’s hard to believe Spartan won’t be bankrupt in the near future with the death traps and inferior weed eaters they sell
I honestly hate to see & hear you are going through all this. Me & my father purchased a mower this winter for the next season. I am truly blown away by it in every way. But I am just now finding your video. Concerns me a bit, hope you find some kind of resolve & compensation. It might be the fact you may just have purchased a lemon out of the bunch. My father's coworker owns a 2016 model with no issues... I know why it would make you feel betrayed & disgusted with the whole company/brand. I don't knock you for it.
Mine just burned down my trailer 8x20 with all my equipment
Well i just purchased a Spartan about a year ago and today the rear axel snapped have anyone experienced this?
It was the dog!!!!
I think you just got a bad mower dude.that really sucks.
Possible but the fact that Spartan total turned their back on me shows they don’t care about their customers and shouldn’t be in business my Husky is 10X the mower the Spartan ever was
How?
You would have to ask the manufacturer that they completely blew me off like I was a piece of shit didn’t want nothing to do with me. Doesn’t care about their machine burning up just sitting there so if you’re thinking about buying one of these, I wouldn’t park it inside it’s nothing but a death trap.
I want to know more
Bought it new had problems right off the peps I bought it from worked with all they could. It never cut right always left grass standing had to cut slow make double passes replaced electric clutch 3 times never fixed it replaced gas gauge didn’t die it replace electric panel Mower never put away dirty it had be sitting in driveway for 3 week come home from work and it had burnt it’s self to the ground. Spartan rep Jeff Kelly was a total jerk called HQ they promised me he would contact me. Still haven’t heard a peep from them They are not worth the money they DON’T /WON’T stand behind there sale.
How many hours did it have? I don’t get how it flames up without a hot engine or fuel leak. I run exmark, but seen spartan as it’s the newest brand as far as I know.. it’s crazy they don’t help you, but if it happened to someone like saving green he would have a new mower the next day. That’s there goal, have someone big show it off without any problems and everyone else goes running to it. Yet the support they give is non existent
@@getinmabellyclips it had the panel replaced at around 50 hours. Had another 30 on it when it burnt. It wouldn’t start most of the time. And when it did if it stalled while mowing you were done until it decided to start again. As for how it burnt. I’d love to know that too. Seems Spartan would also but no !!! I came home for lunch at 11:15 and it was all done but the ties still smoking
@@getinmabellyclips please share my video.
Great!! Disconnecting battery asap thanks
As if
Lmfaoooo
