917.24046 specifications

The Husqvarna 917.24046 is a premium lawn mower designed to deliver exceptional performance and reliability for homeowners looking to maintain their lawns with ease. This model combines advanced features and innovative technology to provide a superior mowing experience.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 917.24046 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a robust Kohler engine, this mower provides sufficient power to tackle tough grass and uneven terrain with minimal effort. The engine's design allows for efficient fuel consumption, ensuring longer operating times between refueling sessions.

The 917.24046 also boasts a wide cutting deck, measuring 48 inches, which allows for more extensive coverage in a single pass. This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners with larger lawns, as it reduces mowing time significantly. The cutting deck is constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and resistance to wear and tear over time.

A notable aspect of this model is its adjustable cutting height. Users can easily customize the cutting height to suit their lawn's specific needs, providing flexibility for different grass types and conditions. The mower's easy-to-use lever allows for quick height adjustments without the hassle of complicated mechanisms.

Another essential technology integrated into the Husqvarna 917.24046 is its mulching capability. This feature allows users to finely chop grass clippings, which are then returned to the lawn as a natural fertilizer. The mulching function promotes healthier grass growth by recycling nutrients, contributing to a greener lawn over time.

Additionally, the mower is designed with user comfort in mind. The ergonomically designed seats are padded to provide maximum comfort during extended mowing sessions. The steering system is responsive and easy to handle, allowing for smooth maneuverability around obstacles and tight corners.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the Husqvarna 917.24046. It features an automatic blade engagement system, which ensures that the blades only operate when the user is in control of the mower, reducing the risk of accidents.

In summary, the Husqvarna 917.24046 is a remarkable lawn care solution that combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly design. Its advanced features, such as the adjustable cutting height, mulching capability, and robust engine, make it a valuable asset for any homeowner looking to achieve a pristine lawn easily and effectively.
