Nice Place .

be sure to stop completely before engaging the locking differential .. I did not and am now paying the price to replace the actuator assembly ... 600 bux... bought new tractor end of 2018 season ... 2014 May now and still waiting for the dealership to get the part to fix it ..

I used to polish mine 🤐 in thort I was the only one 🤣 Need a big sports cups for the beers or whiskeys

Frikin hot looking mower 😍🤣 - 1 psi below spec ? 14 psi all around

You need to push your throttle up higher when mowing. You are lugging the engine down especially when you're driving that fast up-and-down hills.

I have the 2021 craftsman T240 turn tight tractor with a Kohler 7000 series 22 horsepower 725cc built like a little tank with the k46 tuff torque and it climbs and pulls great..there are over 50 variations of the K46 so you have to go by the model #

Eine merkwürdige Idee, im Wald zu Mähen

Mine stopped engaging, haven't diagnosed it yet

Being you own one of these.. They come with a k66 tranny.. But from what I've read, it only drives up to 5.6 mph... Which is strange.. other tractors with same tranny do 6.6 to 7.2 mph.. That is the only reason why I have not jump on one of these..

It’s a damn shame they stopped making the 348; i was planning to buy one. The 354 is just too wide for my use.

It’s a shame that the 348 has been discontinued.

Nice rig.Hoping to be getting the 54 inch version soon.Trading in my 10 year old 46 inch that served me well!

I just bought the same one. On my old Craftsman mower. I use a beer bottle and put a cork in it. So grass doesn't get in it. It didn't fall out. FYI

Even though your terrain looks like the hills and slopes of West Virginia, I wasn't completely convinced it WAS West Virginia until I saw the beer can in the cup holder. I chose the Husqvarna TS 242XD because it is said to take on hills very well. But what about riding the small hills sideways (the SIDE of the machine is facing the bottom of the slope)? Does the machine handle sideways hill-driving well?

I bought one of these back in 19 and have around 70 hours on it. No issues so far I just change oil and grease it. This year I am going to replace the blades though. Really like it I hope to get many years of service out of it.

How has it held up? I here the frames are weak and crack and buckle?

Love it........ looking to replace mine.

Just purchased a TS254XG. Give me back my old Craftsman. I already have more issues with the Husqvarna than I did with the Craftsman in over 10 years.

I like the new safety feature designed to keep your bladder from getting too full. Rides so rough ........... You got to pull over ever 30 min. to piss.

I just Subcribed your channel

Well I'm waiting to see the first mow............

Does it take long to remove/install the mower deck?

54 hours on mine, 3rd year, only problem is front wheel fell of due to retaining clip being loose at start of 2nd season.

I have the same one, but it has the Charger connection built into the hood. Watch the front locking clips that hold the front wheels on, I had one come of and the wheel went rolling away! It is a good unit for the money, paid $3000.

I need a new whole drop cut

Parts

Being a car guy as well, I'm surprised the manual doesn't mention "break in period ". I am in the market for the exact same unit. "AMSOIL, I PUT THAT SH!T IN EVERYTHING " - ME

Just be mindful of the ones that ride motorcycles when you are blowing your grass clippings into the road. Grass clippings are like a sheet of ice for a motorcycle

Man , always use that throttle control in "full" rpm when moving and/or when blades engaged ... any lower rpm setting is used for starting , engine warm up , and engine COOL DOWN which you didn't do (let that engine idle for a few minutes at low rpm to cool down before turning off) ... yeah I know , reading the operator instruction guide isn't macho manly , lol ... also train your ear to know what full throttle rpm sounds and feels like (3600 rpm), so when your throttle cable stretches and needs adjustment to get it back to full throttle rpm you'll know it instead of unknowingly operating at reduced rpm (which stresses the engine) !! ... and ps., this ain't a hate comment , it's because I actually do care about you and your very fine piece of equipment and don't want you to experience any grief from premature engine failure ... always full throttle when operating , allow low rpm warm up after start and low rpm cool down before shut off ...

What it is, is on the transmission case is a steel lever that just simply gets pushed about 45 degrees. ( can be done by hand ) But Husqvarna uses a small electric ram to push the lever for you, so as its extending its drawing amperage away from the charging system, more than the generator can actually produce so it gets the rest by drawing off of the battery as well and when it reaches its full extended length it suddenly stops drawing all the electricity and you get a power surge wich is why the amp meter on your dash jumps. If/when this electric ram fails, just cut a hole in the back panel and do it by hand lol. ( fyi )

I just got this same model. It’s great so far. I did lower the air pressure in the tires. Was nearly 25psi in all 4 tires & it was beating me to death. Dropped to 10psi & is much better.

Have you found your diff lock to be helpful? I have some serious hills and I’m considering buying this mower for that reason. Would you still recommend?

Considering the exact tractor from AE as well. Appreciate the info

Getting one shortly. How did you seal the headlights? Silicone with a caulking gun?

What's wrapped in your blades? Vines? Old fence wire? You like your beer shaken not stirred.

How is she pulling up the steep hills ?

So I'm deciding between this and the TS248G. Is it worth it to pay $500 more for the k66 transmission over the k58? I'm thinking that would improve longevity due to not working as hard.

why ppl dislike the vid

Great videos! Do you recommend this lawn tractor still ? Have you had any problems with it ?

Waiting to take delivery of my first Yard Tractor. Got the same as you. Appreciate your input.

Any additional comments, positive or negative, after the summer season.

Thanks for sharing this video. This is a really nice machine. Looks like you got it in May this year so I'm wondering how the mowing season went with it. Also - can you confirm one thing - can the seat be adjusted forward-backward only by lifting it up and loosening that one bolt with the plastic handle, or is there a way to move it when you are sitting on the tractor? Thanks!

Can you override reverse and keep blades engaged?

Yeah, take that. Stupid poison ivy, tryin to grow in my yard and stuff.

That thing goes up easy up some steep hills huh? Impressive

Very helpful video. Thank you. Do you know by chance how wide your deck is with the chute up or removed? (Outside of deck for clearance getting through gate or door)

Can someone please help me, i just bought this mower and i cant figure out how that valve under the seat works, what side is regular and what side is for the reserve ? tia

It's hard to hear, what's the noise sound like?

Looks good man, I want one pretty bad now after seeing a few videos. Those things are basically a $7000 dollar garden tractor 50% off lol, nothing compares at the price point. Those transmissions have a lot of good reviews. Also If you want to go even further with protecting that there is two things you can do. one is get a can of ( LPS 1 ) and disconnect all of the electrical plugs one at a time and spray the LPS 1 in them, including the battery terminals and the back sides of any gagues/switches/meters/lights/alternator. That will insure its 100% waterproof, thats how guys water proof sensitive electronics in RC boats and planes by the way, because its safe on plastic wont eat it. The other product I really like is from AMSOIL, its the "Muddslinger" its kind of like a silicon lubricant, you spray it over any plastic/rubber surfaces and it protects them from the UV light (plastics will look brand new forever) as well as anywhere you don't want dirt/mudd to stick.. I got it for my dirt bike originally, inside the fenders and the bottom of the frame, after riding I just hose the bike off and its clean! zero scrubbing involved. Also works on/under the mower deck, just avoid the belt and pulleys is all. Hope that helps keep that thing nice for years ;) Who knows I might buy it used one day lol

I removed all clamps, and installed the clamps and snugged up a loose fitting directly to the turbo and I haven't heard it since
