I have a 2006 Husqvarna cz3815. This is an entry level residential model that I bought used about 10-12 years ago. It's always been a good mower, but traction is limited. I attributed this to cheap tires and it's light weight.
I was noticing earlier this year that my neighbor's Toro, which gets around quite well, had a weight block mounted behind the engine. This got me thinking, and I started looking around for some weights. Another neighbor had 4 25 lb. weights from a barbell set that he didn't need, so I mounted them in a convenient location and what a difference! It spins around on a dime now, and doesn't tear up wet grass.
If anyone else has had difficulty tearing up the grass when turning around, this might be a solution.
