Your ATV can't compete with my Lawn Mower: Husqvarna TS 354XD

The Husqvarna TS 354XD is an awesome, versatile lawn tractor. With the proper setup, it can easily transform from lawn mower to snowblower to an off-road BEAST!

Better then tire chains is get a set of used ATV tires or better yet a set of ag bar tires for it. Year round the ag tires make a huge difference. Better traction for mowing and pulling. I built my own little work horse garden tractor a Case 222 built for pulling, as well as snowpushing. I put a new 13hp engine in and I run ag tires on it and on hills, wet areas and pulling on lawns they make a major difference over the turf tires.

thats awesome thanks for the info. im always trying to figure out how to modify/improve simple machines and vehicles to really maximize their potential. have fun out there!

[@tylersowa3858]

What size atv tire fits the front / rear ?

[@MikeOrazzi]

@@tylersowa3858 I made give up using my Cub Cadet 2166 for mowing, it goes through belts like crazy. I picked up a sleeve hitch last week and am trying to find my missing tire chains. I like that cart you have too, it looks light. I have an old heavy steel one.

[@kevinseely6632]

Just a heads up from running mowers for years. Idle your throttle down to low for a few seconds before you shut the machine off.

[@jonerasmus9399]

Thanks for the tip...just bought a ride on and I want it to last . Good tip

[@pirateatfourty]

i have the same lawn tractor, i use to to puch snow with th ebllade and she it gets really bad i attach the husqvarna snow blower i thought about getting a bobcat but this works just fine i have 3 acres. the electric locking rear axle is great. i hav enever got it stuck in the snow. i have snow chains on year round. i also pull a grass mulcherr for the pasture. 4 ft size love the thing. i just got a hyd loader for it a few weeks ago, also works great. so no need for the bobcat.

[@vincentbonello5725]

Where to get tire chains? I like the dump cart also. What kind? Where. Thanks.

I use ag tires on mine, fill the tires with washer fluid and have wheel weights. These mods will turn it into an offroad beast and pulling machine.

[@BikeVanDad]

Awesome advice. I love the idea of adding fluid in the tires to increase weight. GENIUS

[@hoosierLee]

My garden tractor is the same size as yours and I have 2 55 lb wheel weights on it and the rear tires will hold 14 gallons of fluid. I used winter windshield washer fluid because it's cheap. It added 110 lbs and made a huge difference. Between the fluid and weights that's an extra 220 lbs it helps with traction and stability on hillsides by lowering the center of gravity.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Running your engine rpm’s as low as you can to do the job helps with traction too. Is the tractor classified as a lawn tractor or garden tractor. Would have been neat to show a comparison of the same run without the chains and the chains on. They can do the work. That’s for sure. I have many older garden tractors. All 40 to 50 years old. Have a great day. 👋

[@hoosierLee]

It is a 26 hp garden tractor.

[@mainlittlerock5422]

I'd be using a old F-150 farm truck & getting it done smarter. Looks like there's plenty of space to get a bigger load & be more efficient w/ your time. Nice mower. The buggy won't last for long, unless your baby it. It looks like fun times.

[@tylersowa3858]

Like the wheel size / tire size if you got one?

[@sirmichael7155]

Fill those tires with fluid will blow your mind.

[@Michael_Ellicott]

I have this tractor ... not a lawn tractor it is a garden tractor capable of ground engaging implements and has a locking differential ... you would need at least a 500 series JD for these capabilities

[@KK1913]

I don’t know if that saw is big enough.

[@webistguy]

Great video, I’m planning on getting this mower from my local dealer next week. What kind of dump trailer is that? Who made it? Thanks!

[@temotu518]

Very interesting. I've got similar setup with my Husqvarna on our 3 acres in NZ. We just don't get the snow

[@BikeVanDad]

you better knock on wood. now that you said you dont get snow this will be the winter you do haha!

[@pirateatfourty]

no snow? you cowards down there. you havent lived till you wakeup and find 3 ft of snow in your driveway! and minus 10 degrees, you guys have a lot of chickens there lol in fact i am looking to find out how to do some cloud seeding over your country to dump 10 ft of snow on just you teach you to be so smug

[@hazevault1]

How hard is it to remove (and later replace) the mower deck and blades?

[@sixoh_diesel5662]

Not something you'd really want to do on a weekly basis but when you have a long non-mowing season, it makes sense. Easy enough to do it monthly to sharpen or replace mower blades.

[@hazevault1]

@@sixoh_diesel5662 You're right. I got the mower last week and went though the process. I think now I'll be able to get it down to under 20 minutes on either end. Doable, but not weekly.

[@owenmarshalek9537]

I’d recommend rather than using chained tires to just upgrade…I know it’s more convenient but the chains do infact cause minor wear on tires…many people run”Carlisle Super Lug Lawn & Garden Tire”👍🏻 Best all around. Just know it will chew up any nice yard cause these tires are pretty intense.

[@owenmarshalek9537]

Regardless you’re living every dads dream haha, this is super cool

[@nothergmail2899]

This is every guys problem for real, i personally think my John deeres better
