I had a brand new Husqvarna and I hated the way it cut compared to these old machines. Yes, I know it's not the XT1 the OP bought, but new does not mean better. There's a guy in my neighborhood who has one of the Husky "Garden Tractors" and his lawn looks like someone cut it by swinging a golf club around. The frames are also weak on the new stuff. When the tractor would go over uneven ground, I could feel it twisting. I sold it and bought 4 of my tractors with what I got out of it.
To the OP, just be sure to follow the maintenance schedule (maybe even be a little more strict), and like others have said, steer clear of the washout feature.

POR-15 will not stick to a painted surface. You'd have to blast the deck to bare metal and then coat with POR-15 if you wanted it to do any good.
