I have a Husqvarna (YTH2448) 24hp riding lawnmower that is giving me problems. When in drive, the engine lopes. When I engage the mowing deck it stops and the idle speed picks up, but when I have the speed/acceleration down low and mowing deck unengaged, it sounds like it's about to shut off. I've changed spark plugs (has 2), new fuel filter, changed the oil filter, cleaned air filter, vacuumed any debris out from around the motor and still have the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on the carburetor. The ones I'm familiar with have 2 idle set screws. One for low idle, one for power. sounds like the low idle needs adjusting. If you do decide to play with the settings, 1) mark the screw head and carburetor before doing anything so you know where you started. and 2) keep track of the number of turns you give it. Pen and paper are a real good idea. Turn a quarter turn at a time. Start counter-clockwise.

trying out the 09 Husqvarna lawn tractor off road, I know they are not meant for the trails but with the mowing deck off and a good aggressive set ...

It's a 2006 Husqvarna riding lawn mower that i paid $2500 for new. it needs a new battery but other than that it's fine, has a 48" deck, i'm looking to sell it now but was wondering how much i could get for it?

which model # is it? i know the 20hp 46" deck at lowes is currently going for $1599 new and the 23hp 48" deck model is selling for $1799. i know there are larger models or ones with more bells and whistles but this should give you an idea of what to expect. also depends on how many hours are on it.

How many HP do you guys suggest for a riding mower to cut a 1/2 acre of lawn,the yard has alot of rolling hills with a few fairly steep climbs.I was thinking Husqvarna,what do you think?

Husqvarna makes the Craftsman mowers. MTD makes Cub, White, Troy-Built, Yard man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and the new Toro tractors. The John Deeres in Lowes and Home Depot are made to last 250 hours and be tossed. That is all the "discount" brands.

If you are looking for a mower go to a dealer, even if its John Deere. The dealer can service the machine after the sale. Most will even deliver for free. They know the machines and the feature that will work for your conditions and situation in your yard. You are going to talk to someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, and not someone who will be in paint tomorrow.

I would recommend a Snapper of a Simplicity. Simplicity has a mower called the Regent that is 18 HP with a 38" deck, and sells for $1999. You are not going to find many machines under 15 HP.

Price: $58.24 $19.95

Original equipment manufacturer replacement part
1-year warranty for defects in material or workmanship

Have considered Snapper, John Deere, Husqvarna,
how do you rate these for overall dependability, and performance ?
Other brands to consider ????

The brands you mention are fair homeowner brands. However if you are going for the higher horsepower machines look at some commercial units. Such as Toro, Scag, Wheelhorse, and Bunton just to name a few.
