    pat linehan on Just got a new YTH22V46. Mower runs great however the deck...public

    There is no way to raise the deck, and you wont get a response from Husqvarna. I have the same mower. I hate to say it but Ive wasted my money.

    Take a look underneath at the linkage and see how it all works, sit next to the mower (obviously without it running) while you raise and lower the deck with one hand. The deck is raised by two suspension arms attached to brackets welded to the deck. At the highest setting (6) on my mower at least, there is only 1/2 inch between this bracket and the frame on the tractor, meaning it can ONLY travel that much more. Thats it.  Its a POOR design. Firstly, there was never any planning for deck travel, secondly, look at the angle of the suspension arm, should be steeper, and those deck brackets..once again, not designed for travel.

    I shouldn't actually say its a bad design, I believe they designed the way they believed the mower would be used. They probably honestly think everybody mows the lawn between 1 and 2 inches in height.  Based on that "logic" I guess the design is good.

    pat linehan on I have a YTH26V54 mower and the deck cutting height has...public

    If its anything similar to my brand new YTH22V46, your out of luck. I have to mow my lawn on the highest setting (number 6) and even then I hope the grass doesn't burn.  Ill be in trouble come next spring when the grass gets high before its dry enough to mow.

    I looked underneath at the lifting mechanism and realized what a horrible design it is. It makes me wonder if the Engineers at Husqvarna EVER mowed a lawn in their life. There is NO room for travel, at the highest setting, the bracket on the deck only has 1/2 inch before it hits the frame of the tractor. That means at best I can only hope to gain  half an inch, and that's if I rig it somehow. I'm really disappointed, I could kick myself for not researching Husqvarna more thoroughly before buying.  I would be using a different brand for sure, had I.

    Maybe you will have more room to play with since you have a much larger mower than I do, and if so, you'll need to do some fabricating of your own no doubt.  What a shame, and I was impressed by the made in America sticker on the hood too.
