Hi, my name is Dave, I'm a Lawn Care Professional in New Jersey and I use a WHT3615 Hydraulic Walk Behind in my business. I love it but can't really compare it to anything else since it's all i have ever used. It is a 2004 model with 700 hrs on it. I maintain it myself, change the oil and filter every 100 hours, grease it weekly, sharpen the 5 sets of blades weekly and change them daily. I bought it used a couple of years ago with 400 hrs from a homeowner who used it to cut his and a neighbors lawn.

Hi, my name is Tom. I live in NE Ohio close to Football HOF. I just bought a MZ6128 Zero Turn after about 18 years with a cub cader 1863 54" tractor. I have 4.35 acres with a slight grade and a few slopes. I have used it once and almost killed it before I even turned on the blades, but it's OK. I paid $4999 for a brand new 2012 model.

Hi. My name is Scott and new to this thread. I live in eastern Washington state and recently purchased a new Husky GT52LXS after my two old mowers (Signature 2000 and Craftsman) went belly-up the same weekend. I have about 6-7 acres of grass and weeds, pine cones, sticks, and sometimes a few rocks that I mow, not my lawn, and need a heavy duty machine to take care of it. I've only mowed with this machine a couple of times and it can sure chew through the tall creek grass. Really nice machine. I have noticed an odd thing with the forward pedal though and am wondering if it is typical. This model has a Hydro Gear transmission and a limited slip diffrential. Every so often when I'm mowing slowly and turning a corner on uneven ground, the forward pedal will move by itself slightly. It doesn't seem to affect the forward motion but it feels odd under my right foot. Is this typical because of the transmission and / or diffrential or might this be a problem? I have read in the owners manual that there is a purge process for the transmission but I haven't performed it to this point. Anyway, new to Husky and like this forum.

I've had my YT 48XLS for a couple of weeks now,and the first one I have had with a locker.Works very well.No more spin marks ! No more sitting on the side of the seat for traction !( I'm getting too old for that stuff ).

Hello everyone. I'm Vic. Bought a new Husqvarna LGT26K54 mower over the weekend. Haven't put it into service yet but looks like a great machine. I had a Cub Cadet 50" mower before this with the same Kohler engine (26hp) as my new Husky has. The Cub Cadet served me well but required frequent repairs which I always did. My Cub Cadet had exactly 300 hours of service before one of the steering linkages fell off and I decided to give it to one of the local landscape guys here. Anyway, glad to find this forum and looking forward to putting my new Husky into service on my 3 acres.

Hi Tom...
Not suggesting you need to do this, just referring you to what I did to my MZ6128, and what I think is some weak points in the traction and too light brackets on the deck wheels... http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/husqvarna-dixon-forum/7623-traction-3.html#post75120
It did improve mine for the way I mow, I was getting too much wheel slippage in turns and having trouble with the deck wheel brackets bending when going over tree roots as I mowed fairly close around my trees...
Have a good one...Tater...

Hello from South Georgia. I am new to the forum and a new Husqvarna owner. My wife inherited her father's rural home, larger more rugged yard than I have in our town miles away. So we purchased a YTH21K46 and have enjoyed putting it to work the last month down there. That Hydrostat drive and cruise control are spoiling me.....
