I accidentally brought a Husqvarna R316TXs AWD Mrs P

Some folks will watch anything....

[@randomstufffromrandomthing6792]

One thing you should consider is that you’ll be at risk of ruining the ball bearings for the knives when you wash inside of the deck. Never do that unless you’re certain of getting them completely dry, or if you’re willing to remove the lock pin and washer and put new grease on them every time. (They do wear out incredibly fast when washing) I’ve had 15 years of working with them and learned very quickly that you only need to brush the inside unless it got really bad. In which case I ordered new bearings, steam washed and changed the bearings, applied new grease and put silicone spray on the inside of the deck and let it completely dry before mowing again. I know this video is old now but I figured it’s just something you could think about. Nice video though! It is an excellent machine to work with! I hope you’re still happy with it and enjoy mowing.

[@nbandpinportugal]

That's useful to know as I'm thinking of buying one of these. Are the bearings not sealed then ?

[@randomstufffromrandomthing6792]

@@nbandpinportugal They’re not completely sealed, and using a high pressure wash (as most people do as they’re quick and clean easy) makes it easier for water to find it’s way inside of the ball bearing. If you clean it one last time before putting it away for the winter / low season, there will be rust and so on. Of course, everyone to themselves. Not trying to steer anyone away from, or in any direction. Only sharing my own experience and way of doing things / storing them for winter.

[@nbandpinportugal]

@@randomstufffromrandomthing6792 I would definitely just brush the excess grass out most of the time. If I leave it on my strimmer for any length of time it goes mouldy.

[@otornJack]

Since I live 10 km fro Husqvarna I can tell that your pronouciation is off, dont do it like two words, Hus Qvarna, it is more like Huskvarna. ;)

[@donnacornish1053]

Do you find it powerful enough as its 9.8kw (13hp) - do you find it underpowered at all?

[@bobuncle8704]

Just wondering. How do you accidentally buy a brand new mower??? My John Deere zero turn still does a pile of work, but I do like the tip up deck for cleaning.

[@FarmerP]

I didn’t go to the dealer looking for a mower…. I saw it, it wagged its tail…. So I bought it. 😄👍🏼

[@bobuncle8704]

@@FarmerP 🤣😂🤣😂 I’ve been guilty of that myself, but with nothing quite so big a a mower

[@Britishshooter]

Farmer P. Great practical review for anybody like me looking to buy this model. Showed me the stuff I wanted to see like how the front deck goes up and the mulching efficiency. Thanks for producing it.

[@casto-]

Bugger, that thing turns tight! Not sure about it being from the orange company 😉 but they've definitely thought about ease of use/maintenance. Hope you have many enjoyable hours on it 👍

[@Kraigthecanadian]

Have you ever looked into a ferris zero turn mower its by far my favourite mower ive ever used it can cut ridiculously fast lots of power to handle tall grass with no stragglers super simple and comfy smooth ride with full suspension

[@bumpkinrocks]

Very good mower if like you it's mowed regularly. Definitely better with the Kawasaki engine, briggs is weak and head gaskets issues. The rear diff has been an issue for a couple of people I know. Think it's down to not servicing the oil, ask about and keep on top of it.

[@FarmerP]

Look after the kit, and it will take care of you. That's what I was taught. I don't spare the grease and an annual oil and filter change is still a cheap service.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Grand mower that Ian

[@paddygoesracing]

Nice little mower

[@assacoon]

Hello mate. How well does it mulch?? You only seem to be cutting very short grass!

[@HenriGooch]

Hi Mr P great videos so far really enjoy them mate

[@bendawson3577]

Great informative and entertaining video. This'n' has helped us make up our mind thanks.

[@TheByard]

I wish we had smelly vision, I love the smell of fresh mown grass. I cut my little patch by hand and it don't smell the same.

[@nickhill3362]

Hi we bought one new this is its second season a sound mower my son can handle it no probs

[@paulspokes4594]

How come you don't put the slitter on front of tractor and chain harrows the back. Be interesting to see the new outfit

[@06Wolfy]

Looks a good bit of kit im sure Mrs P will have a drive at some point

[@FarmerP]

Wolfpack0608 I doubt it, none of my girls are interested in cutting grass. That’s a mans job apparently 🤔🚜😄

[@06Wolfy]

@@FarmerP I dont understand how it could be a ''mans job'' in these days of equality funny though how women want equality but only in certain things lol

[@FarmerP]

Wolfpack0608 Oh I am quite happy to be given the outside “man jobs” Far better than the indoor “OTHER WORKS” 😉😁😁😆👍🏻

[@pauljones2633]

Always look forward to your new videos and if for any reasons I can't watch for a few days I love having a marathon sessions to catch up. Keep you the good work Ian

[@kev7121]

How long was you in the dog house with mrs p for getting a new mower did it cost you a lot off favours ??

[@russellpetrie119]

the mulching decks are good but you have to cut more regular for it to work keep the etesia for spring cut and cutting jobs no two are better than one

[@rossl2544]

thats a pretty cool bit of kit and instead of being built to keep costs down/easy of manufacture its built with the user/aftercare in mind. car companies could learn a thing or to from this bit of kit. this videos has also opened my eyes as i thought that Husqvarna only made chainsaws, guess i was wrong. Can you get a diesel engine option with these? just thinking that it may well suite more if like yourself your on a farm and your main source of fuel is diesel but yet again im guessing you only really use petrol for chainsaws again good video mate (will resist from calling you Dave) . only thing i would say is the audio is a bit on the low side with the music being a fair bit louder

[@FarmerP]

Ross l There is a far bigger diesel commercial version Ross. But it is many ££££££s

[@johnwurst6691]

You bought it or brought it? Big difference

[@FarmerP]

Well, I bought it first, then brought it home…. So both. 🙂👍🏼

Cute little mower. 😉 Isn't that a bit small to cut silage though.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just kidding.

[@FarmerP]

Neusa C 😄

[@Icecoldgaming-vlogs]

Great choice mower

[@FarmerP]

gamernetwork D I think so, time will tell 👍

[@bronco951988]

Is this a "zero turn"? Can you cut back and fourth without leaving a patch of grass inside the turn?

[@FarmerP]

Matthew Carr Not quite a Zero turn, but close.

[@michakiri]

Quick question. I know that some farms have public paths going through them. does this cause any problems?

[@FarmerP]

michakiri 80% of footpath users follow the countryside code, stay on the path, shut gates behind them, keep their dog on a lead and pick up behind it. The other 20% see a field and think it’s a public park that they can use as they will, normally urban dwellers who know no different or who don’t care if they are causing harm. Running about and rolling in your corn or mowing grass is fun but it can start a chain reaction of flattening the crop if you get heavy rain and wind soon after. Making holes in hedges to take a short cut can result in escaping stock. Leaving dog mess can result in gut worms or even abortion in cattle. And of course the litter, cattle are curious, they will sniff, lick and often eat the strangest things.... I have had to recover a half eaten party (helium) balloon from a young heifer a couple of years ago....... “That was a task!” A farming friend has had to have wire removed from a cows rumen, it was the rusty remains of a Chinese lantern that had dropped into his pasture. What goes up and entertains the party for two minutes..... must come down, and can cause a lot of harm. While we are here, Fireworks can also be a massive problem for farmers... Terrified cattle can run miles, and fences won’t always stop them. Tell your neighbouring livestock keeper if you want to have a birthday fireworks party, he will thank you. If farming simulator or similar games could raise awareness of the unintended damage people can do including harm to livestock by negligence or simple ignorance....That would be a good thing.

[@michakiri]

@@FarmerP wow you guys get affected more than I thought. I mean the people who are always angry at farmers and such and then they probably do more harm than your bit of smell as they drive through or maybe get stuck somewhere for a few minutes. But I don't think that any of them understand that without you guys we don't eat. Keep up the good work.

[@philbleasdale2106]

Mrs b reckons I'm a magpie. She says I like new shiny metal to much. Accidental purse last week a new ifor trailer.!! So far this week ive behaved myself. But it's only Tuesday!! 🤔😉

[@FarmerP]

Phil Bleasdale Haha, Poor Mrs B 😄 She is not alone, Mrs P said something similar when I came home with a new single axel Ifor Williams GD84, the day before I got the mower......... Wellllll, I needed to collect it with something. Then they went and delivered it 😁😇

[@philbleasdale2106]

I bought a gd 105. It seems decent trailer. My mate who rep's for case construction picked it up for me. He brought it down from North Lancashire stopped on channock Richard services on the m6 to make a phone call somebody try nicking it off the back of his pickup while he was sat in it. He said he only realised when he saw the trailer rolling backwards!!! It was all on camera but the police didn't want to know because we still had the trailer. And they were long gone in a white transit van.

[@FarmerP]

Phil Bleasdale Beggars belief, light fingered Wossanames. Glad it got to you ok though.👍

[@stevenewman8465]

Another good vid Mr p I like the way you buy new things and you speak quite so the wife doesn't hear you keep up the good bids mate 😎

[@FarmerP]

She's not daft Steve, in fact she normally knows I'm going to do it before I do. lol.

[@colmkennedy3109]

Good video Farmer P 👌👍 nice bit of kit too 😁

Did Mrs. P buy the "accidentally" bit? : )

[@FarmerP]

Nelson Creek Farm Sort of...... 🤔 Actually no, not even a little bit. 😄

[@steyrman2]

Fine job the husky I have a combo 94 bought it new 6 years ago runs like a dream but I do like the idea of 4 drive

[@FarmerP]

steyrman2 The riders have been out for a while now, the ability to add different tools to the front, agility and easy maintenance made the choice easy.

[@regsparkes6507]

I do like that ability to keep the deck/blades clean. Nice looking mower, I agree.

[@FarmerP]

Reg Sparkes I wanted something that would last me at least ten years Reg, and tick as many boxes as possible, 🤞🏻I picked the right one.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Admit it u wanted a go kart but Mrs P said no 🙄😂😂 was enjoyin that walk round until u stuck one o ur comments in an never stopped laughing till end o the video 🤣🤣🤣 gonna have tae watch it again now 🙄 think manoeuvrable was an understatement 😮😮💪💪

Robert Paterson The Go cart is in the barn Robert.. 😁

[@bobpaterson1845]

My silence can be bought an at a reasonable price too I might add 😁😁

Robert Paterson Haha, it’s no secret, I got it for Abbi years ago. Go back and find Abbi and Lucy get dirty, they really do get plastered 😄

[@johnmera531]

New 1 is a grand mower lot safer and easier to maintain good choice on which mower

I researched riders for a week, it was either this or a kubota. The dealer offered me a great cash price on the Husky, so went for it. 👍

[@125sm3]

Got to have the right tools for the job ! Very nice ride on mower .

[@FarmerP]

125 SM It ticked all my boxes, and the price was right with over 2k off the list.

[@Bambinohead1]

Fine mower! Great to be able to get at deck easily. Love the manueurabiliry around the poles etc. Would u call that a zero turn? Did u try the other type where ur sitting over 2 big wheels and castors on the deck, turn using levers?

[@FarmerP]

Bambinohead1 It’s not a zero turn, quite. I didn’t fancy a zero turn on some of the banks I cut. I also get SOSd from a neighbour who is regularly getting his stuck. I prefer the 4x4 option more. 👍🙂

[@MrPaul1f]

These are brilliant machines, i use one beloning to a customer and think its the best small ride on available. I prefer it to more expensive stigas. The mower i use is about 7 years old and whilst id stress its regularly serviced it has never given any bother. I would change the deck belt every 2 years. The slope holding and manuveability is superb, one of the reasons i love using it is because there is almost no strimming as i can get right up into corners etc.

[@FarmerP]

It ticked all the right boxes for me Paul.
