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.
