Husqvarna YTH24v48

why do you want a lawn tractor?

quote:

---

It's a residential mower for a 1 acre or so yard. Lot of grass I'm gonna need to cut. *edit* That I don't want to do with a standard push/propelled mower.

---

much better choices out there better than a rebadged MTD.

And the YTH is the discontinued model. The YTA is the new model.

Good to know about the model, because it's definitely the YTH they have on the floor. I'll ask about the newer model / differences.

not the same model, but i've had a Husq GT2254 for 11 years now and its still going strong.

I broke the deck lift brackets, so its welded in place, but it still cuts good. Briggs motor has been excellent.

the Snapper has a fab deck and better warranty.

That Kohler on that mower is crap. Kohler does make some good motors but their residential motors are shite.

42" for $1799

My 10 yr old briggs was sposed to be shite
Has still does run purrfect

Funny I believe that snapper made at the MTD's Martin, TN plant.
Meauxjeaux please learn which mfg make which mowers.
Snapper was bought by Briggs when they went under and some riders are made at the MTD plant. I have actually seen then and small MF riders made when I went on a dealer tour.

XT 1 cub cadet on a better platform, bigger transmission, and more comfortable to use.
I sold them both and cub a better buy.

Guy looking for the Husqvarna it's a decent unit haven't had many come back that I sold.
Some of the newer hop riders have gone to a composite cvt transmission made by General transmissions. I will have to wait and see on the reliability.

Lol at the downvote on my OP.

Anyway. I ended up buying the YTA24v48 today. Naturally, I can't give a real review b/c I've basically only been able to turn it on and roll around a bit. No grass to cut really, yet.

The new B&S motor it's got is supposed to be a newer / much improved format. It runs and sounds very smooth, and very similar to the sound I'd hoped for. The damn thing FLIES, man. I showed my wife, brother and sister in law how fast... i started from a crawl, and as i turned the corner floored it. Each one saw it without any impressions or expectations and when i floor it they all belly laughed from surprise.

I felt like I was on a mario-lawn-kart.

Johnnyrocket insulted me saying Snapper built by MTD.

I don't see Snapper in those lists.
