This is a very good video. Most consumers know that assembly is required with a lot of things. A perfect example is a gas grill, which can easily take 5 hours to put together in some cases. It's nice that this has a video to help visualize the assembly steps. Thanks for making this, Husqvarna!

Snow Blowers Direct - I'm extremely happy with my Honda HSS1332ATD you sold me 🤘

[@Peter-pv8xx]

It's nice when everything is new and there are two people working on it, show me one after a few years of use with only one person doing it, under not so ideal conditions, this reminds me of the show Green Acres when Mr Douglas used to do all the farm work in a shirt and tie.

[@dannydlowbikertv]

This video literally just talked me out of this. What a pain in the ass. Cheaper and easier to pay someone 20 bucks a few times a year when it snows.

[@cfabiano31]

Great video, I'm sure there is directions but i love the visual.

[@brucewalazek7478]

This is an Excellent video.....I just bought a Craftsman snowblower attachment and now after watching this video, the instructions make sense. They were a little confusing without seeing it actually done. The only problem I can see is I don't have a blue shirt like his in the video......

[@cristianslawncare4167]

What type of snowblower because i want one

HOLY SHIT!!!!! This friggin' nightmare is sitting in my garage??

[@stevepotroast7825]

In all honesty...id be done shoveling by now. ✌

[@lockporttransport]

Yeah, he disassembles it and stores it away until the next time it shows. Back in the original packaging, no doubt. Then he starches that pretty shirt and starts all over again. Ain't life grand?

[@Jeremy-fy1sz]

If you can shovel your drive in less than 22 min, you really don't need a snow blower.

[@paulshumway5880]

I’ve had a 54” Husqvarna since 2007. I remove the deck and add the 42” blower every fall. The first time was a pain in the ass, because that is when you remove the front bumper and put the permanent front bracket and attachment points on the tractor frame and also assemble the pulley transfer case. But, every year after that you just remove the deck, hang the blower on the front bracket, pin the transfer case underneath, attach belts and do rear tire chains.

[@TechandDoc]

Awesome. We just bought this after our troybuilt push blower went out. I'm looking forward to it arriving and installing it. Im wondering if instead of chains could put those eBay kart Trax wheel on? We live in the mountains and traction is definitely still an issue with chains using the plow attachment. So idk

[@MuhammadHamza-yw9hn]

Husqvarna is my favorite one tractor

[@hlf_coder6272]

Well that was certainly a hell of a lot more difficult than I imagined. You can't even do it by yourself? And you know this was by far the best case scenario. Real life conditions would be far worse, and there'd be no ability to edit out the frustrating parts. Screw it, I think I'll just pay someone to plow.

[@mattbradley9105]

I did it by myself in 3 hrs the worst part is deciphering the instructions which are horrible

[@tracypacovsky]

I am a single female and I put on and take off mine by myself

[@eddiekaya1]

The real. life conditions WERE worse. TERRIBLE instructions and design. took two of us a total of 6 hours in my garage over two days.

[@Response166]

Lots of fun :)

[@watchthe1369]

Just an observation, I would be putting nuts and bolts in so gravity was holding the bolt in place if the nut fell off. It might be the difference between needing a new nut or a total failure. Yeah they are engineers putting the design together, I keep on expecting to see a tie dangling into the shot.

Wow! This is really insightful! I own a cub cadet, those idiots don’t show 1/4 of what these guys are showing here! I can basically use this video to put on their damn blower! Cub cadet doesn’t even have proper instructions. It would possibly kill them to make a hands on video like this!

[@mccarthy155]

Lobov Lobov ha I can’t blame cub cadet, look at all the comments from disgruntled people worried about how much work this assembly is. People not realizing it’s nearly the same process on all makes. I guess that’s what you get for taking the time to show proper installation ...

[@glbassman6338]

I have a blade. The mower deck is a PIA to get off. The blade is much easier and keep a snow blower handy. This needs to be simplified. I see why so many people get rid of them.

[@uxcitme]

What a simple installation. Do you have to take all that crap off to put the mower deck back on?

[@dans4270]

Yes you do...

[@exception2]

No. I have this attachment on a craftsman tractor (917 model which is made by Husq). First time assembly out of box was 6-10 hours as in video. But switching between snowthrower and mower is less than 1 hour. You don't tear it down to nuts and bolts. You don't even need a wrench. All you deal with are cotter pins.

[@ErikR1979]

One good thing is judging by their soft looking manicured hands, and they way they fumbled with every nut and wrench they touched, I'm guessing these are just the engineers that designed this product and if engineers can put it together, anyone can.

[@liloiul]

Agree. Is a lot of BS in the comments here about the time and stuff. Anyone who can hold a tool in his hands without smashing their fingers can do this faster and easier. As for those who can't, I recommend to ask somebody who can.

I bought my LGT 2554 in 2011 and have 350 hours on it and I haven't had one single issue with the riding mower. I keep it completely tuned up and maintained. As far as this snow removal attachment, we don't have enough snow to make it feasible to get one. Plus they are too expensive and looks to be too much work installing one. Maybe one day they will make a very easy snap on/off assortment of attachments. Fork lift attachment, post hole digger, plows, etc...

Wheel horse 312-8 built in 1984. Mower deck off: 1 minute, snowblower on: 5 minutes (alone with gloves on) cup of tea: 4 minutes. No tools required. 10 minutes and you're ready to blow snow. This system does not seem to be an improvement....

[@steventubbs5055]

Wow!!! Lot of these comments are the reason why everyone should take a shop class in high school, if they're still available. After attaching the mounting points, it's only 20 minutes to attach to tractor. Meaning after the initial mounting, every year after that , 20 minutes. And no additional engine to maintain ..... like a snowblower. It's awesome...... but you have to know invest your brain in actually doing something mechanical.... roll up your fn sleeves and try it out.

[@FieldMarshalRommel]

I agree. I've had mine since 2004 and have had no problems.

[@victorlopez6855]

same here. 2 brackets - 4 bolts each, pulleys - no bolts just plug and play, throwers plug and play. 30 min tops

[@richardfuchsrichardfuchs875]

I had no trouble putting the blower on. It started when I started to blow snow. The blower belt would not stay on. I had to make a guide under the tractor where the belt drive pulley is. When I installed that, no problem.When it pulled hard,the beltwould jump and not stay on. Newer models they had a guide there.

[@brianpertel6228]

Do you have a picture or illustration of the belt guide you installed? My belt falls off constantly if the snow is wet and heavy.

[@richardfuchsrichardfuchs875]

@@brianpertel6228 I bolted a 90 degree brace under the clutch and bent it alittle so it would not be sharp edge. Can blow a full blower with no trouble. I am going to see if I CA. Put an idler pulley under there. I think I can. That would be better.

[@DwightDG]

So do you have to take all this off to put the mower deck back on?

[@samradowick8050]

Why can't many of these steps be predone at the factory so it doesn't require a homeowner to hire a NASCAR pit crew to take 2 days to assemble it?

[@mapex311]

Ok, now do that again after using it for 5 seasons when bolts, washers and nuts are rusted.

[@MtnXfreeride]

Wow, couldn't it come at least partially assembled? This will take the average person 4 hours to do. What a hassle. Are other blower attachments for cub cadet, JD, craftsman, etc this much work to put on the first time?

[@kellyaulenback7845]

Is there a video on how to reattach the mowing deck? Does the whole thing need to come off or just the front mounted blower?

[@finncampeau4922]

Kelly Aulenback if you don’t know how to put on a mowing deck you should be near lawn tractors

[@lockporttransport]

The driveline will come off by removing those two pins and sliding it forward. Mower decks are typically also pin-on. Three points typically. The snowblower will also detach in a similar fashion for summer storage. That's a good time to oil all moving parts, get rid of any rust from the season and apply some rustproof paint to prolong the life of the implement.

[@OperatorPuski]

Just like that and you're all set to move snow

[@knightnrmer]

A faster reverse is needed ! Even with the mower ... Faster Reverse Gear !

I dont get the issue here. I just baught a craftsman/husqvarna tractor and a Berco blower with electric winch lift. Took me a weekend to set up but now I can switch from mower deck to snowblower in 25 minutes tops as all brackets stay on. Use to take me over 3 hours to blow my driveway with a wlk behind. I plan on doing it now in less then 1 hour. I blow my driveway at least 10 times a year so it should save me 20 hours in total.

[@buder5116]

and i still dont know how they transfer power fromn vertical pulley to horizontal

[@seancampbell4719]

Long belt is fed Forward horizontally from the bottom of the XFR case to an idler pulley on the snow blower. That pulley changes the direction to vertical then around the driven snow blower pulley. Then down vertically to another idler pulley that returns the belt to horizontal and back to the snow blower bottom XFR case driven pulley. It’s a pretty simple set up, mine has worked flawlessly through 4 Michigan winters, but it is pretty useless without rear wheel chains and wheel weights. After initial set up it goes on and off in about 5-10 minutes.

Pull the mower out from the side is so 1950's, you would think by now 70 years later they could do better. Attaching the Blower ought to be able to be accomplished in a matter of a few minutes not a few hours crawling around on a cold driveway.

good to know to stay away from, so many parts to fail, mine is driven by the front pto and drive shaft to the gear box on my troy built 22hp lawn tractor with a 5 foot blower no belts or pulleys to fail, used it commercially for 5 year and still going strong, how ever I do have that brand in a articulating front mount mower that been going strong now for many years, even used it 5 year commercially, the only down fall on it is the very thin transition drive belt that blows every year weather I was using it commercially or even today for just my own yard, seem to not mater how its used the belt only lasts so many hours, other then that I love it, hate the style he has

[@RRRIBEYE]

01:15 You washer placement is incorrect. It's supposed to be on the OUTSIDE of the bracket mount. You are placing it inside between the frame and the bracket - there is a square part of that bolt that is held tightly with the square hole in the bracket - but by placing the washer on before the bracket - you're not allowing the nut to lock to the mount. Plus, your brackets are then ~ .5" wider than they're supposed to be across the space between the two mounts.

[@victorlopez6855]

actually it's correct. if you notice that prior to placing that piece, the 2nd hole to the left protrudes more than the other three. the hole goes through an extra sheet of welded metal. the washers are spacers that help that piece sit flush against the frame
