LT120 specifications

The Husqvarna LT120 represents a remarkable balance of performance, durability, and user-friendly design, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to maintain their lawns efficiently. This riding lawn mower is engineered with a focus on comfort and functionality, ensuring that each mowing session is as productive as possible.

One of the most notable features of the LT120 is its powerful 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine.

The efficient engine design also translates into lower fuel consumption, making it a cost-effective solution for lawn maintenance.

The LT120 boasts a 42-inch cutting deck, which allows for considerable coverage in a single pass.
