Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mower Reviews Jul 2023

When it comes to picking the right mower for a particular trimming job, the choices can indeed feel endless.

With so many models out in the current market, even some professional lawn care experts can be found scratching their heads trying to decide which machine and which brand to go for.

And if all my years in grass trimming has taught me anything, it’s that when it comes to a mower, the machine needs to be as reliable as the brand itself.

Husqvarna is one such lawn mower manufacturer that strives towards versatility and customer satisfaction more than anything else.

And today, let me tell you a bit about this brand and review some of their amazing mowers.

Best Husqvarna Riding Mower Jul 2023: A bit about the brand

When it comes to consistent performance and reliability in the field of gardening tools, Husqvarna has all other brands beaten!

A company that started out as rifle manufacturers all the way back in 1689 is now, after more than 300 years, one of the most prominent designers and producers of lawn care products in the entire world.

However, my trust in the Husqvarna products (especially in their lawn mowers) do not merely stem from their illustrious history alone, but through my own personal experiences with them as well.

When I began my very own lawn care company, it was the Husqvarna mowers that I chose to employ for all my contracts. And I’m not lying if I said that they are yet to let me down on any job no matter how difficult they were. They are one of the integral reasons why my company has grown so much and so fast, and they have been my go-to ever since.

Even though my review today is about Husqvarna lawn mowers, this company does not limit its products to mowers alone. They have a vast range of lawn and garden care equipment to offer, which include everything from trimmers to mowers and even chainsaws.

Husqvarna has been making yards the talk of the town for years now.

So, here are some of my favorite Husqvarna riding mowers which I am sure will appeal to you as much as they do to me:

Husqvarna YTH22V46 Reviews Jul 2023

A significantly more powerful model than the YTH18542 in the Husqvarna line-up, the YTH22V46 mower is a beast when it comes to keeping the larger yards in shape throughout the year.

The YTH22V46 is ideal for professional and commercial uses, and I would not be recommending this model for beginners due to the higher mowing power which many might find to be rather hard to control.

My Experience

I use the YTH22V46 mower a lot when I have to get a tough trimming job done within a very short period of time.

And any lawn care professional worth his/her salt will be able to tell you that full grown Florida grass is one of the toughest vegetations to mow down. So, when I use the YTH22V46 for such jobs, I won’t be exaggerating if I say that this mower makes the whole process look easy.

The 22 HP Briggs and Stratton V-twin engine is incredibly powerful; it has full pressure lubrication and a superior debris management system. This allows the machine to breeze through the toughest vegetation, and even tread on slopes with an inclination of 15 to 20 degrees.

over, this engine though boasts a tremendous amount of power is very easy to start and run noiselessly, thereby making the YTH22V46 just perfect for noise sensitive neighborhoods.

Another amazing aspect of the YTH22V46 that contributes a lot to its increased trimming speed is the 46 inches cutting deck. Most mowers of its class have the common drawback of supporting a cutting deck which is extremely narrow. In comparison, the 46 inches deck is rather wide and reduces the trimming time significantly

The Hydrostatic Pedal Transmission keeps the ride smooth and the deck vibration free even while treading on rough and bumpy terrain.

What could have been better?

Lack of a sufficiently durable structure is what plagues the YTH22V46. Some of the outer parts such as the steering wheel will start to come loose just after a few months of use and will start to rattle as soon as you start the mower. However, this will not compromise on your control in any way.

Pros

• Comes with a powerful 22 HP V-twin Briggs and Stratton engine
• Provides a smooth and vibration free ride on any terrain
• Even though compact in build, supports a 46 inches wide cutting deck
• The engine is easy to start and runs without noise

Husqvarna YTH18542 Reviews Jul 2023

When starting out in the field of garden maintenance especially lawn mowing, it’s essential to go for a mower which has the perfect balance between power and control. And this is precisely what Husqvarna’s YTH18542 brings to the table.

It reminds me of my very first riding mower and comes with a variety of user-friendly features to boast.

My Experience

As I have mentioned before, it’s the unique balance between power and control that attracts me so much to the YTH18542. The 18.5 HP Briggs and Stratton Intek engine makes for a sufficiently powerful yet steady ride and allowed me to make quick work of any small to mid-sized lawns in a matter of hours.

Like the other Husqvarna models, this mower too comes with a pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission. This feature allows me to change the speed of the mower quite easily, and go in either forward or reverse whenever I find it necessary.

The induction mowing technology that is built into the engine improves the airflow within the deck and keeps the internal mechanisms of the mower grass and debris free. This improves the trimming consistency along with increasing the overall longevity of the engine, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

What makes the YTH18542 mower so very amateur friendly is the “step-through” operational process that it comes with. This keeps the controls ergonomic and makes the mower extremely easy to operate.

I love the deck seat as well; it’s quite comfortable and comes with adjustable back support. It houses a soft grip steering as well which improves the mower’s overall control and precision.

The Husqvarna YTH18542 is just perfect for beginners and domestic users who want a stable easy to use the mower for their smaller yards.

The Best Zero-Turn Mowers of 2023

These achieve the rare feat of making lawn mowing fun.

By Roy Berendsohn Published: Mar 1, 2023

When it comes to yard work, zero turn mowers do the impossible. They make lawn mowing fun. They accomplish this by putting unprecedented speed, control and maneuverability at the disposal of the person mowing the lawn. The so-called “zero turn” feature of these mowers converts a grass cutting machine into something akin to an amusement park ride. You steer the machine with two levers—the left lever controls the left wheel, the right lever the right wheel. With that steering setup, you can zoom over the landscape cutting straight lines, curves, or pivot the mower into and out of a corner. What’s not to like?

Read on to understand how these agile grass cutters work, how we go about testing them, and see some candidates that we’ve recently tested as well as some that we haven’t but that we think look particularly promising.

How Zero-Turn Mowers Work

A zero-turn riding mower consists of an operator platform, a frame and wheels, an engine (or battery bank), transmissions (or motors), and a pair of control levers commonly known as lap bars. In gas mowers, the engine powers a pulley system. One group of pulleys drives the blades, another group powers a pair of transmissions–one at each rear wheel. When you move the lap bar forward or back, you are directing the transmission to go faster, slower, or even turn the opposite way. When one drive wheel turns clockwise and the other counter clockwise, the mower pivots. When the wheels rotate at different rates, the mower turns in an arc-shaped path. When the lap bars are in the neutral position, the mower stops. Aside from a parking brake, there’s no other braking mechanism. Battery-powered zero-turn mowers work the same way, but have separate motors to drive the rear wheels and one for each blade inside the mower deck.

When it comes to transmission, most mowers have a Hydrogear EZT—a well-known and cost-effective residential-grade transaxle with a reputation for durability.

Some mowers use a deck stamped from one piece of steel, others use a deck fabricated from multiple pieces and welded together. A fabricated deck can be built from thicker steel at a lower cost than it would be able to be built otherwise. Once you’re talking about stamping metal as thick as 10 gauge (about 1⁄8 inch thick), the cost of stamping such a deck would push up the mower’s price beyond what most people are willing to pay. The decks in the mowers below range from 42 to 52 inches, a typical size in this class of product. When powered by these engines and the Hydrogear, these mowers will deliver a decent cut quality at their rated top speed of 7 mph. Note, however, that cut quality declines steeply if you maintain that speed in very thick grass or on uneven terrain.

As to the electric mowers, they represent the leading edge of the technology in this category. These are remarkable and expensive mowers powered by large-voltage lithium-ion batteries. If you’re interested in reducing mowing noise and simplifying your maintenance routine by eliminating gas and oil, they’re worth a look.

Selecting a Zero-Turn Mower

Everyone would like to select the biggest possible zero-turn mower with the hope of whittling a big grass cutting job down to size as quickly as possible. Reality usually intercedes because these machines are expensive and the wide range of options available today quickly drive up the cost. Roughly speaking, you start somewhere in the range of a mower with a 42-inch deck costing in the vicinity of 3200 to 3500 and move up in increments of 1000 to 1500 until you reach entry-level commercial-grade equipment that costs 7000 to 8000.

Again, speaking in terms of approximation, a mower with a 42-inch deck will cut a two-acre lot (that takes into account that the house, driveway, outbuildings and various landscape features are taking up some of that space). Use a mower with a larger deck to cut anything over two acres. But here’s the caveat. That entry-level ZTR mower (3200, say) with a 42-inch deck will wear out faster and need more maintenance than a mower with a 50-inch deck, a heavier frame, larger engine and higher quality transmissions, and thicker deck with more robust blade spindles, costing 4500.

In the simplest possible terms, you can cut a smaller area with a larger mower and expect more longevity out of the machine (not to mention a nicer mowing experience) or you can cut a larger area with a smaller machine and encounter more maintenance and a mowing experience that will be, we might say, a bit more rugged.

But there are still other factors to consider, in selecting a mower other than deck size and your budget. Larger mowers take more space in a garage or outbuilding. And a mower with a 50-inch or even 60-inch deck, as useful as it might be in getting the job done more quickly, may not fit through a fence’s gate, and it might be more difficult to maneuver in tight spots without creating scalp marks on the lawn from a lot of close-quarter pivoting.

Carefully consider all these factors when shopping for a mower: your budget, maintenance and whether you will perform that work yourself, mowing speed and time, maneuverability and trimming in tight areas, the importance that you place on your comfort while mowing, cut quality, longevity, storage, and access to the landscape.

How We Select and Test

There’s only one way to test a mower, and that’s to cut grass with it. But we also do more than mow.

We raise and lower the deck and adjust the seat. We look at service point access (the air filter, the spark plug, and the oil filter) and how easy it is to remove the deck. We mow approximately an acre with each mower, considering cut and mulching quality while running uphill, downhill, across washboard, and along sidehills. (On sidehills, we’ll mow surfaces pitched up to approximately 20 degrees; manufacturers generally recommend not going steeper than 10 degrees, but we like to be thorough.) We evaluate power and speed relative to cut quality—we investigate whether the mower delivers a decent cut mowing at full speed. When mowing in damp conditions, we look at whether the mower’s tires accumulate grass and how effectively it discharges moist clippings. Finally, we test maneuverability (these machines are, generally, very nimble) and how readily they come to a stop when you back off the lap bar control levers.
