Husqvarna GTH52XLS (52") 24HP Garden Tractor

Well let me start with saying my perspective is from using my Cub Cadet and Gravely, which are 30 years old. Delivery went well and there was no damage. I had to drive it off the pallet since it was wedged in, but it worked out. It was difficult putting on the brush guard due to a hole being miss-drilled and lack of space.

It ran well - not as smooth of a ride as I'm used to, but satisfactory. I agree with previous reviews that it is a bit under-powered, and if I had a nice level smooth lawn, I would want it to move faster. For my use, rough hilly terrain needing a locking differential, it is very good as long as I don't let the grass grow too high.

I bought this garden tractor and attached a 50" snow thrower on it and it works great with plenty of power. It also started right up in minus 20 degree weather. love the locking differential, I have snow chains and it goes right through the snow drifts in my drive way.

I'm impressed with the mower. But it didn't come with a key or any paperwork. I have nothing regarding warranty for this mower. Plus it didn't come with any hardware to connect the battery. I called Mowers Direct about this issue and I was under the impression that this would be resolved. All I received was a key. So I am disappointed with how this has turned out. I'm not sure I would purchase another product from mowers direct.

Very sturdy, I bought it for my brother, his property in Georgia hadn't been mowed in 1 and 1/2 years.. what a jungle! The 24 Hp engine went through that mess of 5 foot high weeds remarkably well over the two acres. Arrived very well packaged, oiled and lubed. I must say the front tires side wall are entirely designed for nice smooth lawns and I have replaced them with Airless tires, an easy and permanent fix to ever leaking down, The system this seller has as far as billing is really different, even strange where stocking and billing go back and forth, is in stock but isn't thereby your Bank Account could be billed and then credited back, then billed again when in stock even weeks later.
Another pesky issue is the 'tuneup/ maintenance parts where on, at least the Husqvarna, it is a real chore to find the correct Kits or separate parts. While I understand the diversity of said parts, different engines and all, it would be a definite plus where since the individual Tractors complement of components are a known factor, the seller literally could have a method to require the manufacturer to supply the 'Kit" for the individual tractor purchased... and the label under the hood is of little help for attaining a "kit" as the numbers of those tune-up parts are old, been substituted for new part numbers... making it a real chore to select parts in a confidant manner.
Again, blaming the manufacturer isn't an excuse for the Seller.

I replaced a 10 year old zero turn Cub Cudet that I had to replace the engine after 5 years, then a right transmission, and finally the left started to go....the cost of this tractor more than made that decision for me. I've put 5 hours on it so far, added the mulching kit and it does a great job. Highly recommend this product for anyone with a larger residential property that has some slight slope to it.

Have had the garden tractor for 2 weeks now and have managed to cut 3 acres of my overgrown lawn.

I was in need of a new mower, we have several acres to mow with lots of trees and fence line. I ordered it through Mowers Direct and have only had it a few weeks.

I have used the mower twice, but was very happy each time. Controls are nice, I love the larger size tires, rides better and can easily load on to my trailer.

The turning is great and easy to go around trees and deck allows me to get close to fence line. So far very happy with this tractor.

The mower came in on a broken pallet and after looking at it seemed to be okay so I got it out and mowed twice before noticing the deck was smacking the bottom of the tractor from either a obvious shipping damage but it was over 5 days ha ha. or from faulty assembly either way a bad taste in my mouth over a brand new mower is what I am left with. just go to a dealer!

I make a lot of online purchases, but this was my first experience buying a more substantial piece of equipment like my new GTH52XLS garden tractor. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give Mowers Direct a try to avoid the hassles of shopping around for a model that I wanted at a fair price. One dealer tried to steer me towards other smaller models that he had in stock rather than help me find one to suit my needs.

The selection I found on the Mowers Direct site was tremendous and enabled me to compare the features and prices of various brands in the comfort of my home. Not only did I get a good price, but I saved the sales tax and got a discount for paying by check. The tractor came on the day that was originally scheduled to arrive and was virtually ready to go as soon as I rolled it off of the skid.

In fact, most of the assembly that I was expecting to do myself had already been done, leaving only a few very minor tasks to complete myself. I have now used it three times to mow my lawn and could not be happier with the quality and efficiency of the tractor that I bought. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mowers Direct to anyone and will certainly use them again for accessories and for all of my future lawn equipment needs.

The mower works well BUT it does NOT come with mower specific setup instructions. The generic instructions miss several key points like how to adjust the mower deck for level. At a minimum the instructions should say go download the documentation from Husqvarna before proceeding. The Husqvarna people on the phone quickly sent the right PDF file for my mower but it should be included.

My mower deck was not leveled coming from the factor and would not align properly based on the directions because the front mower deck pivot was too high. It was high enough that the mower deck had significant paint removed on its right side due to vibration and rubbing during shipping. The front bumper installation was more difficult than necessary because the carriage bolts that hold the bumper on, barely engage the square hole in the mounting bracket causing them to turn while tightening the nuts.

I had a flat tire after an hour of mowing....I did not find the offending leak or any sharp objects in the tire but "green tire sealant" seams to have fixed the problem.

Overall the mower operates well, has plenty of power and gives a good cut but the front wheels slip while turning anytime the turn is sharp and you are operating above a very slow crawl..
