Conclusion
I’m not able to recommend the initial generation Husqvarna yt42dxl in your opinion. There are a lot of complaints about the durability and reliability of the.
There are issues with the start-up process in humid conditions and with carburetors that are not working.
The more recent model Husqvarna yt42dxl seems to be an improvement in this regard and isn’t plagued by the same issues.
