r/Husqvarna

The left hydrostatic transaxle on my Husqvarna Z248F mower has gotten weak and slips bad after it is warmed up. (It runs ok until I've been mowing around 20 minutes or more) Artificial intelligence has suggested I drain the transaxle and put 20W-60 oil in it. Do y'all think this would help or am I likely to do more damage? The exact model number for the transaxle is a Hydro-Gear ZC-DUBB-3D8C-2WPX. The mower is 11 years old and probably has about 700 hours of run time on it.

I’ve just rebuilt a husqvarna 55 and starting it for the first time, it will only run while using the throttle. I’m aware this is often a tuning problem and tried adjusting bow low speed and idle to have it idle which did not work.
Interestingly when I release from full throttle the air filter blows off (haven’t got the top cover on).
Any tips for what will be the problem? The fuel line grommet seems incredibly tight, and has narrowed the lumen of the fuel line significantly once it is inserted through the grommet- I suspect this is a probable cause but the gromment and fuel line are both from husqvarna and are supposed to be the right parts.

I can no longer use my automower, it was in the charger and stopped mowing. When i dragged it out on the lawn it says «blocked for 160 mins». I wait for the timer to go down but when i press the code again it starts all over again with the count down. Wth

Anyone had this issue and resolved it?
Thanks!

Ok this mower is driving me nuts during its daytime mowing. I repeatly have to reset it as it just stops. It dawned on me a few days ago that I don’t have the issues when the mower is working it night’s schedule.

Do you think high temps impact the circuits? Has anyone experienced this?

I have two mowers and love them! The mow quality is much better than I can do with my zero turn.

I have a 2023 Husqvarna 701 enduro. Incredible bike on and off road. I am quite meticulous with primary maintenance - oil and filter changes every 5000 max km. Also make sure fully warm before ramping up revs (as I do for any ICE). valve checks on time etc. Mine now has 14000 km and no engine issues, some minor unrealted things but nothing preventing me riding or leaving me stranded. KTM/Husqvarna reliability has a bad reputation. Wondering if it is still justified? Who has a high mileage LC4? What problems have you had? How long until major issues? I love the bike and want to keep it a long time but have some anxiety about long term reliability so always questioning whether I should get something Japanese...

I really like the aesthetics and concept of this bike and want to buy it as my first bike after I get the license, I think for October or November. But I have read that Husqvarna has some stock problems as well as the model/brand may not be as reliable as others.

So, to those who already have experience with the brand or own the bike ¿Do you recommend me to go after the Svart 401, or should I better start looking at other brands? I live in Spain.
