Okay, for some of the people that are getting confused whether it's MTD or not. Here is the deal 👍 right off the bat Cub Cadet and Craftsman are MTD Cub Cadet has been in the MTD industry for years and years and Craftsman just went into the MTD industry since 2019 pretty much. But here's the catch actually surprisingly, this is going to be crazy and some people don't even know this hopefully my comment doesn't get taken down. Your Low-end Husqvarna's and John Deere's actually have half of the parts from China most parts on them from top to bottom are Chinese parts. But the higher end mowers you really don't have to worry about that. Its just when you only go to Lowe's and Home Depot the lower end mowers have Chinese parts. But if you want real higher and lower end riding mowers for your John Deere and Husqvarna just go to the real dealership for that and don't get slapped in the face with a fake mower you got at your local Lowe's or Home Depot.
@hester781 Yes, I know you would never cause your a good person I was talking about the government taking it down 🤣 cause the gov. Probably wouldn't want people to know lol... Thanks for reading my comment though and I hope others will too
I've had this model for six years. Only problem was with the safety switch in the starting circuit, and it was easily and cheaply fixed. No problems with the Briggs V-Twin.
I bought my Husqvarna YTH24v48 in 2014 and have been happy with my tractor now I'm mowing 4 acres with it and just this year had to start replacing spindles and belts I try and take care of my tractor this was my 2nd one I've bought and would buy other one. Plus, I just had someone give me a second tractor that i gave to my girls to use around the farm. I hope Husqvarna keeps making good tractors. Was this an old unit? Husqvarna pulled all new units out of box stores and selling from dealer only this year if thats the case you could ask for discount so they can get it out of inventory might also explain it seemingly messed up if store employees are just rough with it in and out of storage
I bought a Husqvarna and I wasn't happy with the quality of cut and before the 30 days was up I took it back to Lowe's and I went to home Depot and I bought a cub which is also a big piece of s*** that has a very low quality cut. If you cut your lawn till 1 in in height it will almost cut complete if you cut your lawn to 3 in which is normal caught it cut your lawn but also swirls it the next day when you look at your lawn it's real obvious that it does not consistently....😊
That’s the difference, right there, you bought back when they were still very great quality machines, in the recent years every manufacturer seems to be cutting corners on quality and quality control
My HUSQIE has been FANTASTIC! Going on 5 years with no issues and alignment issues are SOOOO EASY TO FIX Regardless!… go buy the YELLOW LEMON if you are a hater!!😂😂😂
Anecdotally I’m sure there are people on both sides of the fence regarding husqvarna quality lately. And I don’t hate them by any means, it’s just unfortunate that I’ve seen literally dozens of newer units with unacceptable levels of quality control, there’s a lot to be said about proper use and maintenance but when it comes to the fit and finish I’m expecting a quality product for upwards of $3500
$2,500? I know they're fkn lying! I bought mine exact same one YTH22V46 for $1,199 discounted due to damage which was a tear in the seat and I mentioned that the steering arm was bent...showed the same cock-eyed front tires and I got it. Took it home and straightened it out. I called Husqvarna's customer service and they sent me a new seat for free under warranty 😏
Bought a brand new one at Lowes two years ago. After second mowing, I noticed a bolt on the ground while cleaning it. Was one of the four holding the rear axle to the body. Other three were all loose. The mower is a piss poor design. Grass builds up inside, even when grass isn't wet. Not happy with mine!
The quality has gone waaaay downhill…I bought one a year ago same model and it’s been back 3 times. First complaint was the steering was terribly crooked, the motor bolts were actually loose, and one of the deck pulleys were mounted incorrectly and caused my belt to burn up
Damm i bougth a Husqvarna rider 970 for 500 bucks and it has a new fantastisk engiene only thing i need to change is a rem and im good to go but i think i got a good Bang for my buck
It's just a minor adjustment. I adjusted my new one and it's just fine. I have had mine for a couple months and I love it. It has the new Kohler motor on it.
I would take that over the Craftsman made by MTD now. They used to be made by American yard products that make Husqvarna. Deere #1. Husqvarna second. Go to the dealer. It will be better assembled and you won't be back in the line for service.
I'll bet someone swapped off the good parts on that one then took it back and the store got scammed that way long as the buyer doesn't fill it up with gas or oil they can return it
I’m still running my yt46fs which is essentially the same mower after 10 years I ain’t upgrading unless it’s to a full sized tractor everything now is made much cheaper
It doesn't matter how much you tell someone to beware on this junk, they still buy it and try to cut 10acres with it and then bitch when it breaks. These 2000 dollar specials are made for about a half acre of flat ground anymore than that your compromising the machine.
I don't consider those Husqvarnas. I've got a real deal one from a dealer and they are entirely different. Husqvarna makes really good stuff. I'm sad that they would ever sell their name for that piece of junk. How can they get away with selling those knock offs?
That's not an issue with Huskvarna. These mowers go thru final assembly and adjustments at the authorized reselers. You don't get that at the big box stores. That's why you can't get them ar Lowes anymore.
I bought mine from a Husky dealer. At 80 hours it would not start. They came and got it, fixed for 400 Bucks. That was last year. Yesterday, I put the parking brake on and it broke. I can't move it and I have watched several videos about how to fix it. How many hours do I have on it now? 103 hours. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY HUSKY!!!!
@bradleyhyland2953 that's insane you know something here in America it used to be 1,399$ in 2020 in 2024 it is 2,799$ now just ridiculous it's gone up 200$ here already and y'all's price is crazy 😧
Too many design flaws with rip off companies only to make a quick dollar unsatisfied customers won't buy again and tell others to beware. Companies are pathetic, GREED
Husqvarna are the idiots who at times installs the gas tank under the seat so if it ever explodes it will rocket you to the moon! Otherwise, they are a pain in the boo-hoo to work on when it’s time to change the transmission belt or drive belt depending on which model you have
I wouldn't buy one any of those unless someone gives me one then ill take it but i don't like any of those sensitive clutch pulley mowers because the stuff on them aren't made to last a good long while before it decides to break

Husqvarna that come through a box store is very different than a dealership. Husqvarna dealership Husqvarna would never do anything like that. The Husqvarna in box stores are made by a completely different company.
Negative, they are both made by the same company, however the “final assembly” is what sets them apart. Husqvarna dealers assemble them in house by their own mechanics. Whereas box stores hire 3rd party companies to do the final assembly, which is why you’ll have problems like this and many others as well.

@@jkholley1118 Husqvarna has not made a Craftsman branded tractor in like 5 years.

Tell me your not an engineer by not telling me your not an engineer. Toe in makes it easier to steer on grass. Doing 7kph on grass won’t wear your tyres out in a hurry, so they opt for easier steering for their customer to experience. Sold that way for two decades. Do you work for an opposition brand that no one has heard of?
Tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot… when the wheel was set straight, the right front wheel was way too much toe in and the left front wheel was toe out. I am a husqvarna technician, and this was absolutely assembled wrong. Do a little bit of research before posting a stupid comment for the world to read.
Clearly you are not the type of person to have an intelligent conversation about riding mowers with. Tell me *YOU’RE arrogant and disrespectful, without telling me. 👍🏻
You seriously can’t be that stupid…. I run a small engine shop and you could not be more incorrect. When ASSEMBLED PROPERLY both front wheels are perfectly straight ahead as well as the steering wheel. Your comment doesn’t even make sense using your own logic since the right wheel is toe in and left is toe out. Guess there’s a reason engineers can’t fix anything 😂😂

That's a Pile of shit my craftsman lt4000 will out last about any newer mower only thing i have to do is change the belts once in a while
Couldn’t agree more 👍🏻
It's not husky. It's the guys assembling it. Just a nut and adjust it. 2 min
According to the masses, These are assembled assembled by husky 🤷🏻♂️ and the spindle brackets were actually bent on this one upon closer inspection. And regardless of how long it takes, I shouldn’t have to do anything to an almost $3000 mower lol
It is a piece of shit lawn mower. Don't buy them
Agreed 👍🏻
Junk 🤣 buy exmark 💪💪💪
Agreed 👍🏻
That is a problem with assembly
Clearly 👍🏻
Omg😮😮😮😮
Exactly 👍🏻
made in a mtd plant just saying
Interesting, I keep getting conflicting information from people. Some like you have said they are made in a plant, others have said they are partially assembled and then finished by an outside company at the box store
Husqvarna makes their own tractors. They are not MTD. They aren’t much better quality, but that’s a separate issue
Husqvarna is made by Electrolux @@Pontiac2001GT
@@Pontiac2001GTsame as Craftsman. But not MTD.
@@jkholley1118 Husqvarna has not made a Craftsman branded tractor in like 5 years. MTD (now owned by Stanley Black and Decker) has been the exclusive manufacturer of Craftsman mowers since 2018 or 2019. Husqvarna makes their own product, and as of this year, has stopped manufacturing product under other brand names
Jonn deer
One of my favorites 👍🏻
To Egypt
Or bust 👍🏻
How por hors
You said it 👍🏻
I hope you know that all the tractors out there riding lawn mowers all get made at the same damn building
Don’t let John Deere hear you say that 🫣
Not true
@@davidhenri2722 you are obviously correct, it just wasn’t worth arguing 👍🏻
@@hester781There are 2 main manufacturers of lawn tractors. Craftsman is the same thing.
@@jkholley1118 yes sir 👍🏻
Their lawnmowers they do that
Absolutely 👍🏻
This was a stupid video, their all toed in a bit from factory
Guess some guys can’t tell the difference between toe in and toe out 🤷🏻♂️. But hey if that’s normal then go spend $3000 on one and enjoy 😂
*they’re… stupid 😂😂
A fittingly stupid comment from an ignorant person 👍🏻
Tell me your not an engineer by not telling me your not an engineer. Toe in makes it easier to steer on grass. Doing 7kph on grass won’t wear your tyres out in a hurry, so they opt for easier steering for their customer to experience. Sold that way for two decades. Do you work for an opposition brand that no one has heard of?
Tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot… when the wheel was set straight, the right front wheel was way too much toe in and the left front wheel was toe out. I am a husqvarna technician, and this was absolutely assembled wrong. Do a little bit of research before posting a stupid comment for the world to read.
Clearly you are not the type of person to have an intelligent conversation about riding mowers with. Tell me *YOU’RE arrogant and disrespectful, without telling me. 👍🏻
You seriously can’t be that stupid…. I run a small engine shop and you could not be more incorrect. When ASSEMBLED PROPERLY both front wheels are perfectly straight ahead as well as the steering wheel. Your comment doesn’t even make sense using your own logic since the right wheel is toe in and left is toe out. Guess there’s a reason engineers can’t fix anything 😂😂
@@hester781 How could I have an intelligent conversation with someone who found a 'problem' with a machine and made a video about it, when it's designed into it purposefully.
How embarrassing..... BUYER BEWARE!, you may have lighter steering.
@@leithmcdougall2283 I guess I just can’t tell if you’re trolling at this point. I have worked on more of these tractors than you have sat on. This is not proper. This is not the way it’s supposed to be, many other professional techs here in the same comment section as you are on the same page as me. I don’t understand why you’re fighting so hard on this. You came out of nowhere with the audacity to tell me I have no idea what I’m talking about which is why I say clearly you’re not someone to have a conversation with because you would much rather try and belittle some one.
