For added versatility, the LT130 is compatible with various attachments, such as baggers and mulch kits, allowing users to manage grass clippings in different ways. This adaptability makes it a multi-functional tool for landscape management.

In summary, the Husqvarna LT130 is a robust ride-on lawn mower that combines power, efficiency, and comfort.
