Mowing an acre of tall grass with Husqvarna YTH22V46

A few weekends ago I picked up the Husqvarna YTH22V46 from Safford Equipment. Im in the process of buying this property but we are having big delays with paper word problems. Anyhow, the grass has still been growing and has grown up to three feet in many places. It has been about 2 months and then some since anyone has tended to the yard. I went ahead over there to cut it and give the YTH22V46 a real endurance test.
It handled it well. It took me a little under an hour. I had to go over some spots several times to get it cut down all uniform. Saw one black snake and saved one small turtle.

Noticed that you were taking 1/ 4 to 1/2 swaths in the heavy areas. Smart. No sense in abusing a well made mower. Love Husqvarna.

My 12 year old Husqvarna zero turn finally went bad. I’ve got a much smaller yard now than I did when I got the zero turn so I got a mower just like this one today. It should be perfect for this little 1/4 acre yard.

Nice safety shoes!

NICE LAWN MOWER I'LL BE BE GETTING ONE FOR HUSQVARNAS AS WELL IN A COUPLE YEARS FROM EITHER RURAL KING OR HUSQVARNA MOWER DEALER AND I LOVE HUSQVARNA YTH MOWERS

Nice video

[@tonymontana897]

I'm not really surprised how ell it did. Anything with a V-twin engine will plough through thick grass as they have the extra power and torque compared to single cylinder versions. Husqvarna are quite good machines too. I would rate them better than John Deere for overall quality.

Hi Tony, can you tell me some pros why better a Husqvarna than a John Deer? thx a lot

They must be quiet, old mate doesnt even have ear muffs 🤔

I love mine to death have 1300 hours on it and haven't had anything that it wouldn't cut

[@granturismo315]

Bought my riding husqvarna in July 2020 used it only twice that year then the following year it worked great now I just took it out last month to finally cut my grass and it wouldn’t turn over anymore, I had multiple ppl look at it after I gave up on trying to fix it myself and I’ve been informed that there something wrong with the motor, the thing is still new I don’t get why That would happen

[@tonymontana897]

@@granturismo315 That's a pretty rare occurrence. Were those people qualified who looked at it ? Is it an electrical or mechanical issue ? When you turn the key to "on" does the hour meter turn on ? I do know that the main power fuse can have a dodgy connection and you can lose "ALL" power when trying to start it. Corrosion can set it. Check that first. I seriously doubt the engine has failed. It has to be something really silly. Have a proper qualified tech look at it and let us know what you find.

[@kevin8582]

Did you rake it up and put the siding on the house after you did that? It kinda looked like the mower was doing all of the work with you on it lol

[@HalfAssCraftsman]

Haha. Siding is back up. There was a wildfire that melted off the siding. I had just bought it in the video, after the fire.

'Bout time you cut that grass boy.

[@HalfAssCraftsman]

I had just bought it. There was a huge wildfire out here. House across the street and one at the end burnt down.

[@satriani005]

hi thanks for the video...is it fast ?

[@HalfAssCraftsman]

Relatively fast, yes. Its not winning any races but the hydraulic drive is awesome, Im glad I got one with that feature.

[@GibsonAviation]

[@HalfAssCraftsman]

OEM, this was its second mow.

Hi, how can we contact you for business inquiry?

Man.... WHY your KZbin i.d. is Half Ass Craftsman...??? 😧

haha, its just a joke, but I thought it was funny. AND Ive been known to cut some corners in my day.

@@HalfAssCraftsmanI have the craftsman version of this only with a 48 inch deck instead of 46.. manufactured by husqvarna it says under the seat 😊 324 hrs currently

[@gridiron2112]

The YTH22v46 is a horrible riding mower. Don't buy it! I'm on my second one (big mistake!). The first one died after 50 hrs usage. The second one died after 30 hours of usage. I bought at Lowes and the entire engine was covered in rust within two years. They don't even recommend service before 30 hours and the entire engine seized up. Lowe's doesn't even work to allow a review on their site. This guy will soon find out how bad these things really are. I bet your engine dies on you. They don't even honor their warranty. Supposed to be three years bumper to bumper. Junk! DO NOT BUY. If you already did, it's too late.

[@eugenecrabs3954]

First, AFTER FIRST COUPLE MOWS DRAIN FACTORY OIL, FULL OF CAST GRIT, KILLS ANY ENGINE. Second, BUY A CUB CADET OR A DEERE. Third, BUY A BIGGER DECK, 46 SUCKS

[@williammaddox9511]

Sorry to hear that I love mine to death. It has 1300 hours on it.

[@SUPERBR742]

I DISAGREE

[@brianbailey462]

@@williammaddox9511 did you drain and replace the oil right away on yours or do any early maintenance to prevent the above problem?

getting the 24v54 we have 3/4 acres and flat with no hump or gullies. very smooth

[@kevindinh8001]

I own this machine for 5 years, bought it from Lowes. Year 4th engine oil leak, year 5th hydraulic shot. I better getting new machine intead of fix it. Piece of junk machine. I would not recommend Husqvarna. I do own a Husqvarna blower and that working ok.

[@SUPERBR742]

I DISAGREE

[@jibbsey]

Did you do regular maintenance/services on engine and trans? Husqvarna say that the trans are lifetime/unserviceable but that's BS, Tuff Torq recommend to change the oil first at 50hrs then every 250hrs, and you also need to change the engine oil & filter, plugs, fuel filter and air filter regularly. It also pays to clean the air filter and the cooling fins etc with compressed air or leaf blower after every use
