My Terra was feeling all alone in the shop with Honda ATV's, so i went to my local Husqvarna dealer today and purchased a companion Husqvarna its a YT42XLS.. 42 inch fabricated deck with lifetime warranty, Kawasaki 23hp v-twin engine, quite a step up from the big box store Husky's. I only wish it was Red and white!
An orange husky with a kawasaki motor next to a german bike with a taiwanese motor . what has the world come to.
I forgot about my 21 year old Husqvarna 232L brushcutter, only a carb kit in repairs in 21 years of service! and that's most likely due to using ethanol fuel before i was educated on its effects on small engines...
It even has a battery indicator/charging plug built in with flashing lights, 1. red=charge necessary 2. yellow charge recommended 3. green charge not necessary I wish my Terra had this plug built in.
Awesome, cool ride. Husky has been orange for years guys. The writing was on the wall the whole time! We should have seen this coming, LOL!
I hope this 23hp Kawasaki 42 inch cut will sling some grass! my old john deere 102 17hp,42 inch with 700 hours was getting weak.
Thought I would share this. I own a Husky chain saw and it has been used mostly for tree trimming noting to strenuous. I love to hear the 49cc engine run. It reminds me of the old two stroke days. I guess the Strada has a companion. Now if I could only buy a new six day, like the first one I bought in 76
I heard that. I still like 2 smokes.Husqvarna. Penton and other euro bikes were scarce in TN in the 70's and 80's. I wish I had my 76 MR 250 back! I spent several months restoring this bike. But if i kept every bike i liked i would need a warehouse!..and deeper pockets!.lol View attachment 26174
Please let us know how well that works out for you. (I could tell you all sorts of things about a Wheel Horse purchased new 2 years ago...)
I found out the charging system on my Husqvarna mower is a CTEC made in Sweden. I found the charger on Amazon, for around $35 it comes with extra wires so now i can hook one up to the Terra and use the same charger for the mower and bike.
My last dual sport bike was a Honda 2007 XR 650R that i had modified to be barely street legal, the only thing lacking was high low headlight, but I was never stopped. It would do 115 mph and 3rd gear wheelies with 15-45 gearing and my 220lb body.I had a 40 rear sprocket i was going to try out, but never got around to it. I was thinking that maybe that would give a 120mph top speed.I do like high speed!..I really liked the Mefos tires. But it was kick start only and my old body is not what it used to be lol. that's why i sold it. This Terra is my first Husqvarna, and i love that E-start button!
