The mower caught fire and burnt the mower deck with only 3 hours on the clock. Husqvarna blamed a hot bearing and replaced the deck, did not replace damaged wiring.
The mower will not cut damp or wet grass, the discharge chute blocks up.
Can not be used on uneven ground as the deck will throw off the drive belt.
Grass cuttings build up on top of the mower deck and with the pulley bearings running quite hot there is a high possibility of another fire.
I ended up removing the mower deck and made it in to a small tractor for the wife to pull around a small trailer for gardening.
I ended up buying a Ferris IS2000z zero turn mower - magnificent.
Purchased in for $6,000.

Questions & Answers
I'm trying to use the tc342 without the bag. Runs fine with the bag but if I remove the bag for cutting the mower stops. What am I doing wrong

Read morepon engagement of the blades, because the fabricated deck was full of grass residue . Prior to the above, I did chisel every bit of existing residue from around the inside of the deck, and yes, I did use the hose deck cleaner attachment, which I found to be virtually useless . The fabricated deck design ( side discharge ) is obviously flawed, in my opinion.
