I bought a TS354D from Jordan Repairs in 2018 and have been using it to mow tall grass and brush on my property, it is a beast. It has Cruise Control, Locking differential and a rugged cutting deck. The back Wheels are huge, never got stuck. One of the best options on the market for the price i paid for it.
To me the overall quality of the Deere is better. With the Husky it never had any big issues, just a bunch of small ones that put it out of service. Not true with the Deere.
I have a 2021 Husqvarna TS354XD and I love it! It's their top model garden tractor and It's an absolute beast! The JD 300 series just doesn't come close in comparison and I did compare them before I made my purchase. For the price point it's at you just can't beat all the top grade features the Husqvarna comes with. You have to jump up to the 500 series JDs to start getting some of those same features. However there are a few things that the 500 JDs have that the Husqvarna doesn't, but they cost anywhere from $1500-$4000 more depending on the model! I know I'm probably being a little biased, but I just don't think you can beat the Husqvarna especially for the money. Plus let's face it, that Husqvarna orange is just down right sexy!!!
Thank you! You answered a question I had. I'm buying the VS Husquarna. I had a Honda push mower it lasted 15 years. then I bought a Husqvarna the best mower I ever bought. Honda was good but Husqvarna Is Great!
reading the negative comments is disheartening. where is your respect and decency? yes we all have opinions, but this is an observation. no need for all these rude remarks folks. The intelligent thing to do is to be mindful of how you deliver your constructive criticism, that said you will get the results you want in this world because people will listen to you. keep your negative comments to yourself, sit down, exercise your currently sub par ability to control your impulsive, verbally abusive tendencies and listen to yourself for a change. In time, and for your own benefit, you too, will one day, be able to tell the difference between a green field and a cold steel rail.
So true! Unfortunately this seems to be the trend in today's society. I'm just a guy trying to make an honest living and be honest and respectful.. some people appreciate that. Thanks for the comment!
Biggest sway for John Deere in these small one's is the JD has the FS Kawasaki engines while the Husqvarna's in this range use the Kohler or Kawasaki FR engines. But bang per buck Husqvarna wins imo. If you got no $$ limit go for the Deere.
Looking for info on the TS348XD Husqvarna lawn tractor. I like the fact that is comes with the smallest commercial hydrostatic the K66 with electronic diff lock. It also comes with the Kawasaki FR series engine. It is the lowest grade of Kawasaki, but imo a much better engine than what most manufacturers offer in this price range. I believe the FR to be the same internals as the more expensive FS or even FX series,,but I maybe wrong. My biggest question on the TS Garden Tractor line is the frame a heavier gauge than the standard Husky lawn mower lineup. My neighbor has a LGT2654 model, and like any model has its pro's and con's..But the worse part of the machine is the awful frame flex it has. My clunker D140 JD I picked up used for a spare machine has a much heavier gauge frame with way more resistance to flexing than that 2654 has. I know the TS348XD isn't quite on par with an X500 series as they have the K72 tuff torq, but nearly twice the price of the Husky!! It's hard to argue with $3499.00 US for a TS348XD that has a commercial K66 Tuff Torq and GT size tires with difflock as well as a Kawasaki powerplant and the heavy duty Clear cut deck. I would prefer a new Kubota GR2120 for a GT but I already own a 10K Kubota Z725 new last year which is my main machine. I just need a decent GT for my hard mowing areas of customers...I'm hoping the TS348 XD will be worth my money..Gotta do more research..Thanks.
I bought a TS 354xd...I cut a hole in the rear plate to service the tranny...450 hrs. .it has broken down multiple times..deck bearings are sealed and all 3 went out approx 300 hours. Frame flex is pathetic...green paint 2 to 1.
Thousands? 🤣🙄 According to reviews by patrons at Lowes, yes. The Husqvarnas are a few hundred dollars cheaper, but they also received lower ratings than the JDs... I guess you get what you pay for... 🤑
Not sure this is a fair comparison. I don't know how the Husqvarna models go. A JD 500 series is where the locking diffs start, so maybe you should be comparing one of those. I also noticed that's a fairly old Deere you're comparing to what looks like a new Husky. The digital dash on the current 300 series is much larger and has a voltmeter, hour gauge, and a gas gauge, so you don't really need the reserve. You'd have to be wearing clown shoes to have a problem working the two pedals for the hydro. I assume the Husky setup is more of a heel/toe rocker situation? Don't like those. And everybody I know bypasses the RIO anyway. Hey, it beats a Troy-Bilt, I'm just not a fan.
Correct, Nothing wrong with the husqvarna but he is comparing it to the older x300 that I own and not the newer models with the digital display. The safety lever for the reverse is for liability reasons so you don't back over your child or dog its not rocket science to make one that doesn't .
Why is the consumer arguing with a mechanic? They are both great tractors. Granted, they are not commercial grade, but both should satisfy any owner over the big box stores models. I own neither, I have a Kubota GR2120-2-48 diesel model. It cost a lot more than the others, I will probably never have to buy another. 9 grand is a lot for a tractor. Not dishing JD or Husky. Buy what you can afford and by all means..by from a dealer. You'd be happy you did.
They are more of the commercial line. The engines are the commercial line, heavier decks, more features. There make to work more land and more work and last longer doing it.
Both be good machines but it seems the same trend in this department as it does in the larger agricultural equipment John Deere more expensive than the competition and you get less for it out new Holland was a good 20k cheaper than the equivalent Deere new Holland boosts to 270hp and the Deere 255hp, both good machines but you definitely seem to pay more for the green paint
He literally spent days righting his paper John deer is way better why did he not talk about the engine or transmission cause the jd is better and he is to scared we own a jd x758 and that has more power than any competition really he is so biased to the x500 is what you need to compare to that and it would also destroy it he has no real smarts on tractors either the frame JD is steel the other is alloy please stop your bias and please compare the right model bud.
I spent 2 minutes beforehand making sure the battery was charged in the camera lol. Your comparing a x758 to a ls series husqvarna? The x758 is twice the price and is not comparable to this model. But hey.. what do I know I have only been involved with these products for 30 years. Thanks for the input.
Jordan Repairs they don’t even make a machine close to jD you have been in the business for 30 year and developed a strong bias please compare the right models sir
Could you explain why both tractors are trash and what would you suggest? I'm trying to figure out what tractor would be best for me. I don't want junk.

Ive owned both. No comparison John Deere is far superior. This is like comparing a Rolex to a Timex
Belinda Wright please let us know why you think the John Deere in this video is superior
To me the overall quality of the Deere is better. With the Husky it never had any big issues, just a bunch of small ones that put it out of service. Not true with the Deere.
Belinda Wright hmmm.. maybe set up issues? We have had pretty good luck with them :)
You can have plenty of issues with a JD tractor, believe me.
Your comparing old John Deere vs new husqvarna 2017 when this was published. John Deere has way better controls and read out. You guys are morons

made my mind up a long time ago. never could get a FAIR comparison out of HV. always want to compare bigger HV to smaller JD.

The TS 348XD smokes anything in the X300 or X500 line and is thousands cheaper. Also has dif lock
Yep, too bad they stopped producing them.
Thousands? 🤣🙄
According to reviews by patrons at Lowes, yes. The Husqvarnas are a few hundred dollars cheaper, but they also received lower ratings than the JDs...
I guess you get what you pay for... 🤑

The Ls series is a direct competitor to the 300 series.. you will not buy a 500 series John Deere tractor for 3600 dollars in Canada.
John Deere is a far better machine than what your trying to sell.
We don't "try".. we sell alot. To each his own.. thanks for watching
John Deere wins hands down
Not between these 2 machines they don't.
@@chrisam601 about 90% of the farming community disagrees
I am part of a farming community. This is a lawn tractor.. not a farm tractor.
@@chrisam601 and 70 % of homeowners disagree
Thank you for your statistical facts. Glad you watched the video.
I agree that it's apples and oranges but I can't find the LS series on the Husky website.
They have now gone with the 200 and 300 series tractors.. renamed them. The ts248d would be the equivalent to the husky in this video now.
@@chrisam601 Thanks
Both good mowers will work for home owners or contractors, but I pick the husky
Have a new X330 has fuel gauge, volt meter and hour meter.
Correct, Nothing wrong with the husqvarna but he is comparing it to the older x300 that I own and not the newer models with the digital display. The safety lever for the reverse is for liability reasons so you don't back over your child or dog its not rocket science to make one that doesn't .

Really. See my comment above. It is the same with the lawn tractors. With Deere, you pay for the paint, the quality is not there these days.
What exact model is the Husky also is it a kawaski motor or kohler are those working taillights or reflectors
Streetglide40S&W it's a yt48dxls.. it's a vtwin Kawasaki and yes the rear is reflectors
More specs please..I'm looking to buy new but this told me me very little.
Roadking 2003 I wish he would’ve told us where he got those mean mutton chops
Thanks for the video. Would appreciate more videos.
It's in the works! :)
Engine power, plastic transmission,height of cut (should go to 4 inches), cast iron cylinders, fuel injected, bright lights??
twosence fromcleveland 24hp vtwin cast iron sleeves.. hydrostatic transmission.. not plastic. Engine is carburated.
@@chrisam601
Does husky make fuel injected ones? I can't stand carburetors.
To be honest, the locking differential alone is worth it. You’re up getting n the 5k range before John Deere gives it to you!
...back to the hoose??? 😂
6 years later the john deere is just getting broke in,and the husqvarna is just broken 😂
The JD machines really are overpriced.
He literally spent days righting his paper John deer is way better why did he not talk about the engine or transmission cause the jd is better and he is to scared we own a jd x758 and that has more power than any competition really he is so biased to the x500 is what you need to compare to that and it would also destroy it he has no real smarts on tractors either the frame JD is steel the other is alloy please stop your bias and please compare the right model bud.

Jordan Repairs does huskivarna make any competitive tractors to the 758
I will admit the fuel reserve is very awesome
Jordan Repairs and its way more than twice the price about about 5times the price lol
Both tractors are trash. It's gonna be easier to get parts for the John Deere.
Really? Both are good.. but different.. parts will be available for both machines for a long time.
Could you explain why both tractors are trash and what would you suggest? I'm trying to figure out what tractor would be best for me. I don't want junk.
