Husqvarna Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

[goodbar]

Hi All - Just bought my first rider and went with a Husqvarna LTH18538! I just have a .37 acre lot, and this little tractor seemed to be the best of both worlds between a small rear rider and a full size tractor. It's small, should be able to handle slopes and has all kinds of attachments! Looking forward to getting it delivered later this week

Hello, a newbie here. Just bought a new Husky MZ52LE with Kawasaki 23 HP for 1.7 acre. It痴 my first ZTR and took a while to learn to drive. I also need to learn to turn better without tearing up the grass. I have been browsing this site before the purchase to gather others opinions, likes and dislikes on make & model, size and price points. It helped me a lot and I would like to thank everyone, especially the regulars, for posting good and honest information.

One question I do have is how sharp are blades supposed to be? The blades are dull to touch.

Have you watched any videos on how to do a 3 point turn?

It takes a little bit of practice.

Hi, My name is Larry....I have an acre of grass in my small Connecticut town. I bought a Husqvarna Zero-turn mower (Z3016) 3 years ago. I LOVE the ease of using this machine, it put the fun back in mowing! However, It has been in the shop each year I have owned it due to breakdowns. I think the manufacturer does not use sturdy enough hardware, something is always breaking (and I am a careful, 80 year-old driver!). I plan on using this until something major breaks, and then it is back to John Deere for me.

My complaint today involves the grass deflector. This is minor, but very annoying. I have found it impossible to put the deflector back on once it has been removed to install the bagger. The connection of the deflector to the deck is by way of a rod and clip. Sounds easy, but impossible for me. And, the manual does not mention how this is to be done. If anyone has found a way to re-insert the spring properly into this gadget, I sure would like to know about it!

Looking forward to sharing some honest opinions...............

Hi everyone, my name is John, I live in Alabama, I have a Husqvarna RZ5426 zero turn mowed. I am new to this type of mower, so if I ask stupid questions, it is because of ignorance, not stupidity. I hope to learn as I go, and possibly help other from the mistakes I make.

Thank You
JTT
