just heard this.. it true?

what does this mean for murray owners?

is someone going to buy them out.. or are parts going to dry up?

any comments?

any one else dealing in the economy rider market... afaik they were the least expensive rider you could get... usually selling at places like walmart for 800$.. etc.

Don't own a Murray (never have), but I do own an economy mower--a 2005 42" Huskee with hydrostatic tranny and 18 hp B&S from TSC. No problems so far in the 6th season. Paid $899 for it.

MTD has that $800 market now. Although, it is more like $895. Marketed under a few different "names" such as Yardmachine, etc. Even Sears sells that basic MTD model for around $849-$895. TSC as well.

ASAIK, Murray is still elsewhere in the world, but have left the North American market. If I remember correctly, they sold their manufacturing facility(s) to someone else. Deere maybe? hmmmm.... Foggy on that.

Briggs and Stratton acquired the Murray name in 2005, after the Murray bankruptcy. Contact Us | Murray
