Husqvarna Snowblower - TS354XD with 42" blower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- After doing my research I settled on the Husqvarna TS354XD lawn mower / tractor with 52" mower deck and got the 42 inch snow blower attachment at the same time. Now I get to use it!
Several inches of snow fell overnight so I got out the Husky TS354XD Lawn Tractor with 42" Snow blower attachment and let her rip! It was a breeze despite our large driveway and I spent time later clearing the neighbors driveways too with this awesome snow thrower! Heck, it was so much fun I just kept going out to help clear driveways for free! Too much fun in fact and all I can say is AWESOME!
Ever wondered if a snow blower was worth it? I can tell you I am loving mine! Wow! This thing is awesome! Nothing beats a snow blower except a BIGGER snow blower :D

Very Nice unit, it’s nice to hear neighbors helping neighbors, that’s the way it should be. Helping out each other. And by the way if you run up to Dave’s house to help him out, stop on by I’m off i81 also..
But I don’t need anything snow plowed, just a friendly stop in to say hi will do. We get to see snow once in a great while but for only one day maybe if that… take care
Road trip!
Oh I love my Husqvarna GT48XLSI (discontinued) 6 years old, 27hp Brigs, can go a week without having to put fuel in it.
My neighbor has a JD Garden tractor & he's actually jealous bc my engine is still bigger.
I've pulled a boat, a huge swing set over. You bought a great machine.
Thanks! I somehow missed this comment so sorry for the late reply! I bought this one in 2020 and man am I happy! Mows my lawn (the largest part of our half acre yard) in just a few minutes and just keeps on working. The snow blower is awesome too and gets the job done quickly. Soon I'll bring my lawn spreader home (it's at our cabin) and will use it for the lawn here too (I was paying for fertilizing and what not before but plan to just do it all myself once I retire again).
Very good. Looks like pretty heavy snow and a handy unit.
Cheers !!
Cheers! and Yes, it is a very handy unit! A beast really! I could plow/blow my way down the street house to house without a problem. Chains would be better though as I got delayed a few times in deep snow but worked my way out...almost had to pull out the jeep to winch the tractor out of the snow down a hill though! But it managed to get out in the end under it's own power! Yeeha!
You are a good man for helping out so many neighbors!!! 💯💯💯💯 Respect🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I use my Action Trackchair problem is the batteries don't last long. But I am definitely thinking of getting a snowblower for my mower👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing the video. I have a Husqvarna r322 awd because of the little hill of my druveway. I like it but only complaint is that the snowblower is not with an electric winch and it is very heavy to lift particularly with wet snow on the unit. When I mean heavy, I mean it's sometimes very difficult and hard on the arm.
I hear ya! With my winch it's easy but yes, it's heavy! I have to lift it to get it on in the winter and that can be a chore ;) But I got it on and am ready for the snow which so far hasn't happened much...probably because I'm ready for it! lol
We get about 1 snow here every winter. It’s normally gone in 48hours. But now I know who to call to get my driveway cleared.
Lol the snow will be gone before I get out of the driveway
Our quite the talker
Not much point in doing youtube if you don't like to talk.
Could you do more videos of maintenance and such on the mower? I recently purchased one and there’s basically no videos on this tractor!
Good morning, in truth, I've had to do no maintenance! It's been a few years since I bought the tractor and the only real inconvenience is changing the mower deck to the snow blower ;) However, I could try to do a follow up since it's been a LONG time since I did this video. Cheers!
I'm happy to hear that you like/enjoy your Husqvarna Snowblower. Several years ago, I purchased a Husqvarna lawnmower and hate it. I've told many friends not to purchase any Husqvarna products. Happy to hear that you've had good luck with your blower and hope that you will have many years of trouble-free experience with the machine.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience! I have 3 Husky chainsaws which have been awesome and did a fair bit of research on the mowers before buying this one. Was yours the same model?
@@TheOldJarhead No, it's a push mower. I know years ago Husqvarna had an excellent reputation. I believe that's the reason why I purchased the lawnmower. After my troubles, I've spoke to a number of people and the consensus seems to be that the company was sold out a number of years ago and their product is not like it us to be. However, I'm happy that you are satisfied with your purchase, but for me...Husqvarna, never again.
P.S. that's why it's great to live in America...choices.
Yes! Now, I will say that different models within different brands can be light years apart. I specifically stayed away from certain models because of reviews rather than certain brands. For example, there are models of the JD that have much better consumer reports reviews and online reviews than their counterparts by Husky and there are Husky's that do better than JD's -- same manufacturer different models....I suspect it may be plant specific or even company department specific. Some chainsaws are still as good as ever, some suck -- plain and simple! My Husky 576XPW came to me with issues. I did the break in etc. but before long it wasn't running right or barely at all. Finally I gave up and sent it back to Baily's in Cali. They found a bad crank and case and rebuilt the saw for me free of charge. I was an awesome saw from then on until I squashed it with a big pine ;) I have two others, one 15 years old and one 12 and both still run awesome without ever an issue....such is the way though. Not trying to convince you though! Just agreeing that there can be issues as well as acknowledging that sometimes it's not the brand so much as the model.
PS. Thanks for watching! :)
Bought a yth22v46 2 stage blower ,
It's a boss :)
Glad you like it! They are awesome!
@@TheOldJarhead thanks , concerned I don't have diff lock option
I rarely used mine but it was nice when I did.
4:40 why is this music dope af 😁😁😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 am i trippin im jamiin right now to this shit
LOL 😆 snow blowin needs some cool music!
Have you had any blower belt issues
NO. Though I once put it on wrong and it started to smell burned. I disassembled and put it back together correctly. Since I only put it on at the beginning of winter it's always kind of a mystery how it goes back LOL but I manage to get it back on and working again -- speaking of which, I need to do that again soon!
Good video, neighbor. Since you like helping neighbors.. c'mon over to my place. Directions are simple; only 4 turns. Take I90 East for about 2800 miles then I81 North 25 miles to exit 33. I'm just 6 miles from I81. I'll be waiting.
Thanks, neighbor.
Dave
Be right there! Soon as the check arrives;) LOL
Hey Dave, shoot me an email at emcvay@spamarrest.com
Can you Please tell me how painful it is to remove the blower to switch to grass season deck and then back again before I invest in the blower ? Thanks for your time.
The first time, in my shop, was a pain in the rear frankly LOL however, the 2nd and 3rd time it was easy because I understood better how to do it. So I'd say it's relatively easy to do once you've done it at least one time. There are some things I'd suggest though: 1: Once you remove the mower deck and have to remove the fork up front (underneath) be very careful! It's a bit of a pain and the hardest part of removing and putting the mower deck back on. Using an impact driver and deepwell sockets would probably help but I'm old school hand tools still.
Once you put the mower deck back on, make sure the belt is tracking right! I'd also make notes or take pictures of where the contact points are etc. Heck, maybe I should make a video of doing it LOL...it's worth having that information as the book was worthless. Otherwise though, I'm super happy!
@@TheOldJarhead Thanks for your reply and yes a video would be great , I’m sure you will get lots of views ! Still undecided if I want the blower as getting old with recent knee replacement makes it tough to tackle these seasonal projects ! Thinking a tractor or motorcycle lift would make the job easier maybe , Thanks again
Some kind of lift would help, plus those cushioned pads (what I use) to kneel down onto. I have bad back, knees, hands etc (getting old is hell!) and totally get it! In fact, that's why I got this blower! I can just ride the mower/blower and get the driveway cleared of snow in just minutes without ANY shoveling! (which kills me!). It's a bit of a pain to change out the mower to the blower but I hope to teach the grandsons how this year and get them involved :D Either way, it's worth it! Heck, if I can't get help and it gets too hard to do myself I'd get a trailer and have the local shop do it...bottom line? Saves my body during the snowy times!
How long is this set up?
For a trailer
Do you mean length of the mower/tractor and blower combined? Or width?
Ahhh it's about 18 inches longer than. tractors
Once I am back home I'm measure it.
No worries, I got a trailer! Thank you for the reply
Can you tell me why the snow blower costs more than the mower??
It didn't when I bought mine! What are they today?
Lawnmower today is about $4500 and the blower is $1750
I got my mower today for 2300. The two stage blower is about 2400
@Bo Sparling Must not be the same mower as mine runs 4500 new! Lowes shows the blower at 1750
Nice video , however , music has to go.
lol Thanks, that's an old one and I've learned a lot since!
I got the same lawn mower. how does your rear wheels handle the snow? My default turf tires seem to have pretty bad traction in any terrain except grass.
It does well! I just lock the diff and it just keeps going except in 6 inches of snow going up hill. chains would help though
@@TheOldJarhead yeah I thought it was a little overboard to have that locking diff, but that saved my bacon any time i get on my hill or in gravel.
Yup! Being a jeep guy I thought it would be nice to have but didn't realize just how nice until I started using the snow blower!
I added wheel weights and chains and it helps tremendously in the snow !
@@christophervece I need to do that but without them it still did great!
