Hi All -
I'm new to the forum and am hoping to get some insight on what might be going on with my Husqvarna 22V46. It's about 3 years old. I have a pretty large yard (probably about an acre of grass). I've read a similar question on this forum and it sounds like i might have the same issue, but wanted to get your thoughts. The engine runs fine, but when I step on the pedal to go forward, it just barely crawls, a little better in reverse, but still very slow. When i'm going up a slight incline or trying to turn it is worse. If i'm going down a hill, its seems to try to speed up (i guess because it has less of a load on it). I noticed this stared after i hooked up a small trailer full of fire wood one time and tried to pull it. It was really working hard to try to pull the trailer, but I just kept pushing the pedal, making it go forward. Since then, it has slowly been getting worse and worse. Now, even with no load it's really bad. Will just crawl. I did replace the drive belt, but that did not fix the problem.
After reading on here, it sounds like i might have trashed the transmission. What do you guys think, can this be fixed? Or am i better off just getting a new mower (maybe a little bigger) and not pulling a trailer with it?
Thanks for any help!
