I was lucky enough to find a mower that had a serviceable transmission. Mine if from HydroGear, and it has a drain plug, a filler plug, a level plug, and a spin-on type transmission filter. I changed the oil and filter last season and used Amzoil 20-50. So far it has been perfect. If you follow many forums you will see many folks have purchased mowers with "non serviceable" transmissions, the transmissions fail and they are faced with a minimum of $300 to repair it, and then they still have the weak trans they started out with.

Greetings from Mebane North Carolina. Just picked up my New M-ZT-52 with Briggs power from my local dealer yesterday. Man this thing is a battleship, nothing like the Lowes 26/54 Husky that I had prior. That was a good machine but it was slow and the chassis flexed like crazy.
Trying to get a handle on my servicing schedule , like first engine oil change and first trans oil change. Figure to do the engine oil at 10 hrs but still not sure when the trannys will need their first drain.

Hello fellow Husqvarna owners and thank you Muhammad.
At age 64 I have been an urban dweller for most of my life and have little experience with lawn care and mowers. However, I have been caring for my girlfriend's home with a 1 acre lot for the last three years and will be moving there in the next year or so.
We decided a better mower than the 19 hp Craftsman lawn tractor she had would be a good investment and I started researching our options. Although I have little experience with mowers I am a life time motor head and love machines so I went about it as I look at cars. Was thinking a zero turn would great but after some reading an articulating mower made more sense and I trusted that Husqvarna builds a good one. Was happy to see that the R 120S articulated rider fit our budget but as with automobiles I decided that I good used model would offer better value. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of used Husky riders out there. We live in Columbus, OH and found a good used R220T at a John Deere dealership not far below Chicago in Indiana farm countrty. With only 40 hrs of use and two oil changes on it I thought it was worth the drive for a price of $2,200.
Anyway, I hope that I was right and will be depending on this forum for help and advice. I already have two posts for help.
If I get a photo I may post it later.

Hello everyone! I need some information. I'm semi-retired and starting a solo lawn care business. I've purchased all my equipment and trailer except the Zero Turn. After lengthy research I've narrowed it down to a Hustler FasTrak SD 54" although the Husqvarna MZT52 keeps coming to mind. I like the cast iron spindles, grease fittings, 3400 drive and some of the service aspects. But I'm unsure of the reliability aspect since I've not had any exposure to Husqvarna. I would appreciate your input and advice. Regards.
Hello Guys. My user name is Ninemil. Live in North Central Texas just west of DFW. Have an RZ4623 zero turn. I am an old guy and hope to learn from this forum as I need help badly! Cheers.

You may be suprised, sometimes the old guys have a lot to offer. Welcome to the forum and good luck with your new machine.

New here too. I have a Husqvarna YTH22V46FR lawn tractor that has all specifications checked and working yet it's horrible at bagging leaves. It tends to blow leaves out the left side (opposite the discharge side) and makes cleanup a chore. Hope to get some answers here. Funny thing is that my old Craftsman tractor actually sucked in leaves on the left side instead of blowing them out.
