Hi every one, this is my very first riding mower, i get from lower, it will get delivery in 1 hours.


Husqvarna YTH18542 18.5-HP Hydrostatic 42-in Riding Lawn Mower with Mulching Capability

Anything I need set up and go thru before starting cut grass with it ? I read some where that it need to purge the transmission.... thank you.
 
I usually run 12 in rear, 9 in front tires. I'd check them and see where they are when you first get the machine, if close to what I posted I go with it.
 
Also, if that machine dis-engages the blades when reversing I'd try to not do that very much while mowing. The constant repeated stop/start of the deck is really hard on the clutch, belts, etc.

More than likely the seat switch, if you ride forward on the seat it can pick up enough to disengage the switch.
