Husqvarna 20 Hp 42" Deck Yard Tractor

Pros: Strong engine, easy to operate, high-back seat adjusts, Children will mow the lawn!
Cons: Children may think it's a fun toy and mow the lawn! A bit loud.

I have wanted to write a review for this tractor since the day I bought it, but, I had to wait until I had some experience with it to be truly honest. I researched lawn tractors for my Mother's Day gift. I had narrowed it down to the Husqvarna brand and ...

Pros: Good on gas, quick starts and stops, nice machine overall.
Cons: Could use cushier springs in seat and a quieter motor. Does not give foot rubs.

I could hardly believe that I was about to get a new mower after riding a tiny used garage sale mower for 16 years with wheels the size of donuts. I just put gas in it and it ran year after year. I am thinking that this one will be even better and will ...

Pros: Mechanically realiable
Cons: Bagging system. Turning radius. Noise.

Mechanically a fine machine. If you do not bag it is probably adequate. The machine runs loud. The turning radius and maneuverability are awful. The bagging system is unacceptable. I have the 3 bag system and it is awful.When the first bucket fills it falls off. The overflow spills into the second bucket, which falls off after the first bucket fills. I often find myself stopping often to pick up a spilled full bucket - what a mess. I have devised a method using bungie cords to hold the buckets on, but that now takes time to empty the buckets, put back together etc. I would recommend this machine if you intend to back your clippings.

Pros: its orange... thats about all I could say that is OK about this mower
Cons: cost for upkeep cost to fix husqvarna

The company,their products and the help you don't receive from them when you have a problem are probably the worst place I've ever had to deal with.
We spent over $500 at True Value a Husqvarna certified and authorized service dept. trying to fix the mowing deck .. ended up buying a new deck ... another $500
it took over 30 days to get the new mower deck
other than the money I put into regular service for this tractor.. do the math ..it has cost me over $1000 and the help I got from Husqvarna was "have the dealer talk to our tech support"
we have had trouble with keeping air in the tires
we have had trouble with the mower deck digging on one side causing brown lines from the grass being too low and burning
I will not even give this to my brother.. I plan on a bonfire with it.. anyone up for some marshmallows
