Husqvarna deleted features

[SARG]

I have a 2354GXLS tractor and one of the better features on this machine is an electric winch control for the deck height for finite adjustment.
I've looked at different Husqvarna sites looking for this feature and I cannot find it available on any of their machines.
Does anyone know why this option was eliminated ?

Much of the supply chain is crippled and availability is pushed out 12 to 36 months to complete 1 shipping pallet order. Best to cancel a feature vs. no-sale of any products.

To answer my own question .......... it appears the

Husqvarna 532421769 ACTUATOR.ASM.DECKLIFT​

Has been discontinued. Now I need to find out if there is a manual means to adjust the deck if the actuator dies. Perhaps just finding a replacement actuator motor is feasible. Time will tell.
Seems like Husky has decided that the feature did not work out ..... so screw everyone who bought a machine with the option.

What you are seeing is becoming commonplace in the OPE industry. Maybe other type of manufacturers also. Finding that parts are NLA on mowers and other products 2-3 years after manufacture. In the past few years even have had to do complete product replacements or full retail price refunds because the manufacturer has discontinued a repair part while the item was still under warranty.

I can order one from China ......... if I order 4999 more to fulfill the minimum order quantity.
I suspect sometime in the future I'll have to "engineer" some sort of manual winch for the deck.

Typical from Husqvarna, it's probably discontinued to get you to buy a weak framed new tractor, for more customer-no-service..

Depending on the actuator size, (I use Thompson/ Warner repairable actuators on my GT) they have sizes for everything and if they are the same size as on Johnny Buckets they are sold discounted. The Warner sight has PDF's and how to measure the actuator help.

I wrote a little something on actuators here,

Decode Thompson/Warner Linear Actuators

I figured I would share the info in case anyone was interested because of their own project ideas, thinking of upgrading, but not knowing where to start, or just wanting to validate an implement manufacturers claims yourself, like the kind you see to lift mower decks or work a Johnny Bucket JR...

Also the "how to decode" actuators from Warner, and there PDF of actuators are attached, they are a couple years old but still pertinent.

I hope these can help.
