Question:
My 3-year-old automatic 46” riding lawnmower doesn’t sound right, runs slow, and struggles up hills. I’ve clean it, greased it, worked the air bubbles out of the transmission fluid, but it still struggles. I’ve had the annual service done every year and I’ve replaced the mulching blades. Should I not have installed mulching blades? I’ve been thrilled with my Husqvarna chainsaw, leaf blower, and weedwacker. I considered myself a Husqvarna man, but I regret spending $1609 on this Mower and Husqvarna doesn’t have a phone number where I can talk to someone. Help.
Answer
Need the mower's model so I can look-up the setup. or you can try calling customer service @ 1 (800) 487-5951 but they will need the model number too.

The customer service number will work, but the people on the other side may not. They will most likely refer you to a local Dealer.
With that said,
It sounds like you have the Tuff Torq K46 woes?
If your engine runs at a proper RPM, If your power delivery is not slipping (drive belt and pulleys), then the only thing left is the K46. There are many videos on rebuilding it if that's needed and Tuff Torq has a lot of info on there web page to include the kit for rebuild and supporting PDF's on oil change and bleeding the air.
If you have hills to climb, grades I think over 5% than you may want a Tuff Torq K66 as a minimum. The K46 is not rated for hills, the K66 and up is rated for hills up to 15%. Just a thought.
Riders are expensive and it's frustrating when they can't be relied on after such little use (3 years), I sincerely wish the best for you.
