|||| HI:
|||| I am looking at a Husqvarna GT2554 garden tractor to buy
|||| and use on my 12 acres. This is a 22hp, 54" deck model, 6
|||| speed/hi-lo range.
||||
|||| If you have experience with this brand of mower/tractor or
|||| any model
|||| of Husqvarna please let me know you opinion.
||||
|||| The one repair shop in this area says these are unreliable.
|||| But then
|||| he also says he stopped selling them because they 'screwed
|||| him', no explination. Sounds like sour grapes.
||||
|||| Thanks,
|||| Gus

||| I used to race Husqi motorcycles. They were strong two cycle
||| bikes but I would not want anything with a two cycle, high
||| reving motor that was going to be put under constant heavy
||| load. And, I don't think I would trust a Husqi 4 cycle
||| engine. What I would do before I bought one is just act like
||| I already had one that broke down and see how hard it is to
||| get parts. I'm going through that trauma right now with
||| Campbell Hausfeld air compressor which I will never make the
||| mistake of buying again. They require a part number but
||| nowhere, in their manual, troubleshooting guide or web page
||| do they provide part numbers. We had trouble getting parts
||| for the bikes but that was back in the 70s.
|||
||| Personally, I'd stick with John Deere or someone like that
||| that has their own service depts in house.
|| Thanks JC

|| Husq garden tractors use Brigs & Stratton ELS engines....4cy.

They had a rep for being slow with the cycle parts too...
