thats awesome that the dealer swapped out to the new model. We will see what happens when i call my dealer tomorrow. I will probably ask for them to get me in touch with the factory rep. Thanks for an awesome walk around for this product.
dude they helped me so much and im so grateful to them. hopefully you will have the same luck with your dealer. good luck on it and let me know how it goes. also thank you for the support and for watching. glad you enjoyed!
You know, I had heard about there being issues with the electronics on these, and even had one dealer tell me don't buy it. I really liked it though, and once I get my mind stuck on something, there's not much changing it! I went with a different dealer, and I actually got the smaller one, the 350. The one issue had when I first got it was the battery was just a little low, 11.6v, and I couldn't get it started. At first I was freaking out thinking i bought this machine against all the bad things I heard and sure enough mine was toast too...however, once I figured out it was the battery, I was able to get it started, and so far, no issues...that said, its been super hot and dry here and I went through a spell where I couldn't mow, so I've only mowed 3 times in the last couple months. I'll keep you posted if anything changes, but I just wanted to post a (so far) positive experience...all in all, I agree this is a great mower. I do have a very steep yard, probably between 10-15 degrees on most of it, which is one reason why I hesitated when deciding to go with a zero turn at all, but standard riding mowers just can't power up the hill, especially since im a big guy. The one thing I really wish I could change is the seat backrest..it's definitely a comfortable seat, but I wish I could lean the seat forward..when going up hill, I feel like im falling backwards and struggle 😢 to hold myself up and push the controls forward. If I could lean the seat forward a little bit it would really make a difference.
Well congratulations on it robert. the reason the battery was low is because they sit on the showroom floor without being cranked or charged for a while so. I also know what it's like just set your mind on something and then ya have to have it. Im the same way. Glad it's been a positive experience for you so far. I get that about the seat. You can scoot it forwards and backwards but not lean in any direction so that would be nice to have but regardless just please be careful. I usually don't get scared of machines at all but this one can be very dangerous so just make sure you take your time and learn the mower the best you can. Have fun too.
I have to raise my hand to on getting your mind set on something. Lol. That was me with this mower. Fingers crossed it runs well now that it’s been converted to a 375.
So a quick update. My unit is finally ready. Husqvarna sent a kit to convert my unit to a 375. They even sent a new tag to show the model as a 375. All the computer stuff is now gone and the dealer did a free break in service for me because of the issues. I’ll pick it up tomorrow afternoon. We have been dealt with heavy rain to day 5” so far from the hurricane making its way through NC. I’m excited to see how it runs. I’ll let you know.
yes dude thats awesome! glad they are getting you taken care of. yea i believe its new handles and new control pad and new wiring harness. my 375 runs way better than the 380 ever did. ill make a video on that in a few months after i drive it for a while and see. ahhh good to hear some good news.

Aggressive tread looks good and helps sell mowers, but I’ve heard many complaints about traction, regardless of brand.
Well thanks for sharing. I'm definitely starting to see that. My neighbor has regular tread and never spins ever.
