Service & Maintenance Question posted July 18, 2013 by Janet MeissnerQuestion:I have a brand new Husqvarna 900 rototiller that I have used twice (less than two hours). The second time I used the machine it started forward and/or reverse motion (depending on the gear I selected) regardless of whether I had the tine control depressed to the handle of the machine or not. Previously, forward or reverse movement would only occur (as explained in the operator's manual) when the tine control handle was engaged (held to the handle). Do you have any trouble shooting ideas? This is the 2nd machine as the first one wore a hole through the guard and belt broke with less than an hour operation. I hope you can get Husqvarna and myself back on track to a satisfied customer relationship. Thanks!- Service & Maintenance Question posted May 28, 2018 by larry jeffersQuestion:Tiller tines locked up. 14 inch rear tine tiller CRT35
- Service & Maintenance Question posted April 9, 2018 by Randy HerrQuestion:I have a 2013 ft900 tiller. I had to replace the main drive belt, but now all I have is reverse motion. As soon as the engine starts I get reverse motion. I pull the lever to make the tines go forward and nothing. The main drive belt feels loose to me. Any suggestions on how to get forward motion on the tines?

The engine oil has a yellow cap good. But there is a cap above that, white or clear, the manual does't show this item. Is it transmission fluid? And if so, what type and weight? Thanks Kmarie
- Service & Maintenance Question posted November 25, 2017 by John PlattQuestion:I have a Husqvarna FT900 tiller. The problem is I see there is a fluid leak on the transmission (i.e. oil/grease) under the transmission.
My questions are:
1.) There is not much leakage, how much can leak before doing major damage to the transmission?
2.) I don't see a grease plug which would allow me to add grease. Is there a way to add grease myself and not have to go through the expense of taking it to a shop?
Thank you - Service & Maintenance Question posted April 19, 2017 by Kenneth DavisQuestion:DRT900H Tiller, Love it, chews through the dirt! Here's my problem: The belt is eating through the belt guard. Looks like it just isn't the right size or the guard is too small.. i've seen other posts like this.. anything I can do? Adjust?

- Service & Maintenance Question posted February 27, 2017 by Joshua SchaefferQuestion:I just purchased as DRT-900. After tilling for about 10 minutes, it began making a rubbing sound when it moves. It is worse in forward or tilling, but also makes the noise when in reverse or rolling in neutral. What should I inspect to find the cause of the problem?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted October 14, 2016 by Jason ThompsonQuestion:My FT900 tiller continually stalls after 15-20 minutes of use. I have taken it into an authorized dealer and they performed the basic troubleshooting as well as replacing the gas, spark plug and air filter. My tiller is only 3 years old.
Any suggestions? - Service & Maintenance Question posted September 19, 2016 by Chad ChaplinQuestion:I have a DRT 900E, just over a year old. Was just in the garden tilling using the reverse till gear. I came to a stop to move something from my path. When I came back to the tiller and re-engaged, it seemed to be moving forward way too easy. I assumed it had somehow switched gears. However when I tried to switch gears I discovered that the shift lever is now free floating and I cannot shift at all. The last gear I left it in was the reverse tilling gear, yet it is acting like it is just in plain forward gear as the tines are not engaging either.
Please suggest a course of action. This is HIGHLY disappointing. I got rid of my old tiller, which still worked, paid top dollar for what I thought was a top of the line tiller, and here I am just over a year after purchasing and expecting to find out I have a multi-hundred dollar bill coming up.
