YTH2242 specifications

The Husqvarna YTH2242 is a versatile and robust garden tractor designed for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient mowing solution. This model features a powerful 22 horsepower Kohler engine that provides ample power for cutting through tough grass and uneven terrain. The engine is engineered for durability and performance, ensuring that it can handle a variety of yard conditions with ease while delivering smooth starts and strong acceleration.

One of the standout features of the YTH2242 is its 42-inch cutting deck, which allows for a wider cutting path, making it ideal for mid-sized lawns. The cutting height can be easily adjusted with a lever located on the dashboard, offering six different height positions to achieve the perfect grass length. This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners who prefer maintaining a manicured lawn or adjusting cut height for seasonal changes.

The YTH2242 is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth, variable speed control without the need for manual gear shifting. This transmission technology enables effortless navigation around obstacles and provides increased maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. Additionally, the model has tight turning capabilities, making it effective for trimming around trees and flower beds.

Ergonomy is a key consideration in the design of the YTH2242. The comfortable seat is adjustable, allowing drivers of different sizes to find their ideal driving position effortlessly. The user-friendly dashboard is equipped with easy-to-read gauges and controls, enhancing the overall experience. The steering wheel is designed for precise control, minimizing fatigue during longer mowing sessions.

For added convenience, the YTH2242 features a connector for optional attachments, such as bags, mulchers, and snow removal equipment, promoting year-round usability. The tight-knit construction and quality materials ensure longevity, and the cutting deck’s washout port simplifies maintenance by allowing users to clean the underside easily, preventing grass buildup.

In summary, the Husqvarna YTH2242 combines power, flexibility, and comfort in a compact design, making it a valuable addition to any homeowner's gardening arsenal. With its reliable engine, adjustable cutting deck, user-friendly features, and adaptability, it stands out as a top choice for those looking to maintain a pristine lawn with ease.
