Most dealerships and even the more informed home improvement or lawn and garden stores will be happy to give you a “buyer’s guide” tour of their wares. Honest ones will find out what you need and work from there, but most often the question they’ll begin with is “how much is your budget?” Then they’ll take you to the top-end of that dollar figure and start there. So I decided to write this Husqvarna lawn tractor buyers guide as a sort of independent source.
First and foremost, know exactly what you need in a Husqvarna lawn mower. If your yard is fairly small (say 1/ 4 acre or less), then consider just getting a regular Husqvarna mower instead of a Husqvarna tractor. I mean, unless you have some major landscaping to do, you’re just enhancing your ego by getting a riding tractor.
Now consider your yard. How large is it? The larger your yard, the larger the Husqvarna mower you’ll like want to get (in terms of cutting area, not actual size). This is negated, though, if your yard has a lot of obstructions to work around, in which case your Husqvarna tractor will need to have a smaller cutting area for more maneuverability.
Now for the grass itself. If your grass is thick (or mostly weeds) or you plan to use the mower on more than just regular lawn grass, then you’ll want a much more powerful and probably side-ejecting Husqvarna lawn tractor. These will clog less often and have the power to cut, eject, and even mulch (Husqvarna tractor calls this “BioClip”) those greens (or browns in my case, but we won’t go there).
In the next part, we’ll look at accessories and some options for the mowers themselves. See you then!
