This durability is complemented by superior ergonomics, ensuring that operators experience comfort during extended operation. The adjustable seat and steering wheel facilitate a customized fit for operators of all sizes.

In addition, Husqvarna has integrated advanced safety features into the ProFlex models. The automatic brake system enhances user safety by engaging whenever the operator leaves the seat, ensuring peace of mind during operation.

In conclusion, the Husqvarna 18 ProFlex and 20 ProFlex offer a blend of power, efficiency, and user-centric design. With their robust features, advanced technologies, and commitment to safety, these ride-on mowers are sure to meet the demands of both professional and residential users who seek to maintain pristine lawns and gardens.
