    Question:
    purchased GT52XLS today. Vibrates (without blades on,sitting still) so bad, that all 4 gauge wheels and center anti-scalp roller spin at fast rpm and make a lot of racket. Is this normal for the Kaw motor or should I return to store? Thanks

      Yes....I noticed this when I first purchased it in May and they fix the problem bofore I took delivery.  Now its back and its a nasty rattle.  I wish someone from Husqvarna would make a post with a solution.  Back to the dealer.....I go.

      I was told it was because they use cheep belts and if you put a quaility belt on alot of it goes away. Husqvarna would only tell me to go to the dealer. The dealer told me it is a known problem and there is no fix. Husqvarna dosen't seem to interested in fixing this, and less interested in keeping me as a customer.

      Your not supposed to be running the mower PTO without the blades on it.  Also if you sharpen your blandes youself and didn't balance them they will also cause this problem.  It's a tractor it's going to make noise.

      Just bought a Husqvarna GT52XLS Garden Tractor.  Anyone have pros or cons about this tractor, and issues i should be aware of or to look out for?  Anyone change the stock blades to something else?  What blades work best on this tractor?

      @Michael Harrington. He means it vibrates with the PTO off, blades not running, not running the PTO without blades on the machine.

      BTW you will see that for an "Answer Army" their advance is very slow. They never respond, this thread is over a year old!

      Took it back to the dealer...there is a fix and a service bulletin.  It's all good now.
