When buying a ride-on mower or garden tractor, one needs to determine a few things first. Which one is the right size for the job? Does it have an integrated collector or is it a side-ejecting tractor? Which transmission does it use, hydrostatic or manual? There are also numerous accessories that one could add to meet your garden’s specific requirements.

The Husqvarna TS 242D Ride-On Mower with its powerful Kawasaki V-Twin engine is perfect for larger gardens with more demanding lawn care. The cutting deck uses side-ejection which is the best when mowing high and coarse grass in challenging areas of a garden. This said, a collector can be purchased separately to attach when you want to collect clippings and achieve tidy results.

The TS 242D’s hydrostatic transmission and separate pedals to control speed and direction provide easy, trouble-free operation with both hands on the steering wheel.

What makes the TS 242D so strong and long-lasting? The hood is made from solid steel construction, further protected by the tough, rugged looking brushguard, while the front is effectively protected by the bumper. The rugged cast iron blade housings and heavy cast iron front axle ensures durability. The new fabricated design features welded 10 gauge steel construction with additional welded reinforcement strips for maximum durability

What makes the TS 242D a pleasure to operate? It has an extra large and thick steering wheel, adjustable sliding seat, automatic choke, cruise control, the blade engagement lever is located on the dash, the fuel cap is easily accessible and it even offers a cup holder for refreshments while mowing.
