HUSQVARNA RIDING MOWERS
REVIEW 2021
Having so many lawn mowers available to choose from, even professional
gardeners and landscapers can feel dizzy trying to figure out what
model from what brand is the ideal lawn mower.
And if I learned something in my mowing experience, it is that the mower has to be as trustworthy as the brand that produces it.
Husqvarna is the kind of company that does its best to provide
multifunctionality and a thorough satisfaction to its customers.
This time we will talk about this company and check some of their most notable mowers.
When it comes to a formidable and reliable work in the gardening area, Husqvarna has no match!
This brand was established in 1689 as a rifle factory. More than 300 years later, it has become one of the most outstanding creators and
manufacturers of gardening tools all over the world.
Anyway, my devotion for Husqvarna tools (and particularly for its lawnmowers) comes not only from its interesting history. But is also based on my personal experience over the years.
At the time I founded my own gardening business, I decided to use
Husqvarna mowers for each of my orders. And I would be lying if I
told you that any of them has ever betrayed me on any job
disregarding how hard it could be. These machines are one of the
secrets of my success and fast development of my business. And they
remain my faithful partners.
Even if this article is about Husqvarna lawnmowers, this brand is not an exclusively mower manufacturer at all. They offer a wide range of
outdoor and gardening tools starting from trimmers, moving up to
mowers and ending up with chainsaws, for example.
Husqvarna made its own name in the landscaping market over the years.
Ok, so here I introduce to you some of the Husqvarna tractor mowers that are so beloved to me as I hope they will be to you.

If you plan to start a business in the market of gardening or
landscaping, and in particular a mowing business, it is imperative
that you make your mind up for a mower that offers an equilibrium
between strength and ease of use. That’s exactly what Husqvarna
YTH18542 puts in display.
This model brings me back to my first tractor mower and has a lot of
different easy features to share.
My personal experience
As I already said, what I really love of the Husqvarna YTH18542 is its
outstanding blend of strength and control. It has a 18,5 HP Briggs &
Stratton motor that provides enough power at the same time that
allows the user to ride the machine comfortably, which makes it ideal
for mowing small to medium sized lawns in little time.
Just like other models from the same company, this mower includes a
pedal-control hydrostatic transmission. This addition gives you the
chance to speed up or down at ease, and move forward and reverse when needed.
The entry-level system used by the motor allows a free air flow inside
the case and keeps grass and dirt off of the internal system of the
machine. This gives as result a more effective cut along with a
longer lifespan for the motor, therefore minimizing upkeep expenses.
What makes the Husqvarna YTH18542 ideal for entry-level owners is the called “step-through” inbuilt system. This makes the controls
convenient and the mower’s maneuverability a piece of cake.
The riding seat is also lovely. It is pretty cozy and includes an
adjustable back support. It also has a smooth handle steering that
gives the machine a higher operability and accuracy.
The Husqvarna YTH18542 is the ideal choice for starters and individual
homeowners who are looking for an easy and reliable grass cutter for
their small lawn.
What is left to be desired?
While it is perfect for household and starter needs, it is by no means a
proper product for business. It is certainly a solid machine, but not
strong enough for commercial purposes.
It is also unsuitable for large yards or considerably uneven lawns.

Husqvarna YTH22V46 Review 2021
- 46-Inch cutting width
- 22 HP - 724cc Briggs & Stratton v-twin Intek engine
- 2 blade manual engagement - pedal hydrostatic transmission
- 15 x 6 -6 inch front tires / 20 x 8 -8 inch rear tires
- Carb compliant
A notably stronger model than the previous one is the Husqvarna
YTH22V46. In Husqvarna mower family the Husqvarna YTH22V46 is a big brother in terms of annual maintenance of large lawns.
The Husqvarna YTH22V46 is suitable for both home and commercial purposes.
But not precisely convenient for beginners because of its intense
cutting force which can result quite challenging for common users.
My personal experience
I employ the Husqvarna YTH22V46 when it is required a sturdy machine
for a hard-mowing job in a very little time.
Any gardener or landscaper worth his name will agree with me that tall, wild Florida pasture is one of the hardest grasses to mow down. But when I take the Husqvarna YTH22V46 to do this kind of jobs, I
wouldn’t lie if I told you that this machine makes the task look
like it’s no big deal.
It has an extremely powerful 22HP B&S V-twin motor that features a
full injected lubrication and a higher dirt removing system. This
makes the unit to slide on the densest grass like a wind, and can
also run on uneven surfaces with an angle of 15 to 20 degrees.
To say more, this motor while extremely powerful, is really easy to
start and fairly quiet while working. This makes the Husqvarna
YTH22V46 ideal for the sensitive ears of your neighbors.
Another great feature of the Husqvarna YTH22V46 that helps optimizing its cutting speed is its 46” cutting capacity. This kind of mowers usually share the same drawback, which is a notably narrow cutting width. Compared with them, the 46” width is quite broad and
minimizes your working time and stress.
The hydrostatic pedal transmission helps the mower run smoothly and prevents vibration even when running on uneven and irregular ground.
What is left to be desired?
The construction of the Husqvarna YTH22V46 could be more solid. Some exterior pieces like the steering wheel may start to loosen up after a few usages and then rattle when you just start the machine. Anyway, this won’t affect your maneuvering at all.

Husqvarna Riding Mower 42” Review 2021
The Husqvarna YTH20K42 riding mower was especially made to satisfy the requirements of both pro and amateur gardeners alike. Great potency, control, and ease of use are the key features of this model. And it has gained the favor of lots of customers all over the world in the past few years.
My personal experience
The YTH20K42 is a machine made for the masses. It is the most
multifunctional unit you will read about here and includes some great
features that will comply with both household and professional
requirements alike.
For a start, let’s look at the high mowing power this machine provides,
and the options it offers to make your lawn look the way you like it.
The YTH20K42 is fitted with a 42” cutting width, which is not as wide
as the YTH20K46, of course. While having less cutting width will
affect the working speed, it gives you the chance to access into
narrow, reduced spaces with less difficulty.
It has a six-level cutting height to adjust the cutting blades from 1,5
to 4 inches for a more dynamic grass cutting process on uneven lawns.
This model also has a very solid construction, enough as to put this unit under high demand for several hours without any problem. When itcomes to design, this mower includes a durable metal front axle for
adding force and soundness.
It even comes with a front bumper that alongside the exclusive air
injection system prevents the motor from getting damages and dirt,
for a much longer lifespan.
The deck also features a handy wash port for you to insert a garden hose into it and wash the lower side of the deck. This is meant to
decrease upkeep expenses notably.
What is left to be desired?
For the kind of user it is addressed to and its cost range, I shouldn’t
have any complaint about this product. Overlooking some unimportant
setup issues and the exchange of the pedal-velocities for a
lever-velocities that is a bit bothering to get used to, I just can’t
find any other negative aspect.

Husqvarna 48” Riding Mower Review 2021
The Husqvarna YTH24V48 is one of the strongest grass cutters available
and also the most potent Husqvarna mower on this article. It is made
for commercial purposes and thought out for particularly large lawns.
It is the faithful partner of the professional landscaper, and my
experience with it has begun some months ago. It is my favorite tool
for especially large lawns and hard jobs like golf and football
fields or farms. It’s not exaggerated to say that the YTH24V48 is
my secret weapon.

My personal experience
Definitely the most remarkable feature of this model is its 48” cutting width.
Mowing grossly large lawns is notably faster with the YTH24V48,
allowing me to finish the task much earlier then expected no matter
how hard it can get.
Its structure is just as strong as the Husqvarna YTH20K42 42”
lawnmower. Due to its durable metal casing and bumper, this machine endures a continuous and heavy use for hours on irregular ground without the need to stop at any moment.
Similar to other Husqvarna mowers, the YTH24V48 has a hydrostatic
transmission that works on a pedal, so driving this machine is very
simple. It has a handy gearbox that allows me to run the mower on any kind of ground easily. For instance, if the surface is muddy and
slippery, I just need to shift down a gear to get more traction on
the wheels.
The blade adjustment system is electrically set and offers the ultimate
blade adjustability. The three-blade equipment also provides an
outstanding cutting performance in every job.
What is left to be desired?
This mower consumes oil quickly. Even on a full tank, this machine can
only run for a few hours and then you have to refuel it again.
To say more, after a year of use, I realized there was something wrong
with the motor, that I later discovered to be a frequent concern
among a lot of other users.

Conclusion
Husqvarna
always had user satisfaction as a priority. They understand that one
only model is not enough to meet each user’s requirements and
standards, so they created a different model for each kind of user
and lawn.
