Features of the Husqvarna YTA24V48
Power and Speed
Anyone well-versed in a lawn mower will know that power and speed are two of the most coveted traits in a pedal tractor with the most efficient operation. If you have heard of the Briggs Stratton Intek V Twin, you will be familiar with the sheer 24 hp power it affords the user. However, the Husqvarna YTA24V48 can match that riding mower with its own impressive horsepower engine.
It’s easy to start up thanks to the chokeless start, and runs smoothly with the easy to use spring-assisted fender mounted deck lever, continuously variable transmission, the electric clutch, charge port, and even a cup holder to keep your morning cup of joe steady.
The turning radius is much tighter than other lawn tractors as we found in our tests, and that can also create consistency in cutting width and height. It even allows you to mow in reverse.
User-Friendliness
The last thing you need is a lawn tractor that’s difficult to operate. The best riding lawn mowers should be easy to operate. The Husqvarna YTA24V48 24V Fast Continuously Variable Transmission Pedal Tractor Mower isn’t without its flaws, but the user-friendliness definitely isn’t one of them. The maintenance-free operation makes this tractor one that’s suitable for beginners to use.
The electric start, auto transmission, and high powered engine delivers enough force to cut through grass of any length. It may not be the best for hills, but it sure makes a great lawn mower for flat ground.
The high back seat gives you plenty of support and the armrests are located comfortably if you feel like resting your elbows on the job. The cutting force of this riding lawn tractor is impressive enough to use all- year-round despite difficult weather conditions.
Cutting Quality
The cutting quality of this mower is unrivaled by many, and it’s one of the best things we liked during our tests for this Husqvarna YTA24V48 review. The 48 inch stamped cutting deck trim is supported by steel, which ensures a level of security, durability and force.
With the 48 cutting deck, the grass lift is clean with air induction technology, which is coveted in the most high-end electric riding mowers for lawns. This technology will eliminate the chances of stray grass pieces floating around for a clean cut.
The deck lever is spring assisted for easy operation will deliver supreme precision whether you are moving forwards or in reverse. As for all the grass clippings, mulch, and all other debris, this product will quickly expel them from the side when attached with the BioClip.

Safety Features
Heavy machinery requires a certain level of safety for consumers to feel comfortable.
There is a high-tech sensor switch located under the seat that would automatically shut off the tractor once the driver vacates the seat. This way, the mower won’t run amuck without a driver in control.
For night operation, the Husqvarna mower, being one of the top-performing riding lawn mowers in the market, features bright headlights that will allow you to tend to the grass at any time of day, thanks to its adaptability you can use it all year round. Then there is the ROS system which stands for Reverse Operation System. This safety feature will halt the blades when you’re simply backing up the mower.
Maintenance
As mentioned, the Husqvarna YTA24V48 24V Fast Continuously Variable Transmission Pedal Tractor Mower is a maintenance-free design created to offer you convenience. It is one of the best and cheapest riding lawn mowers in the market with little maintenance.
There isn’t much to be done to ensure the operation and lifespan of your tractor mower, and if something does go wrong, many of the parts are covered by warranties, which we will get into a little later.
Practicality
In terms of practicality, this fast and powerful riding lawn mowers performs well. The seating is very comfortable with a high back, which is very practical if you are someone who has a large plot of land to tend to and needs extra back support. For small sized area, you can choose our top-performing small riding mower, as well.
With 48 inches of mowing deck, you can get through your lawn quickly and efficiently without needing to go over the same patch of land over and over again thanks to the powerful blades.
Accessories
Other than the safety accessories such as goggles and hearing protection for yourself, this riding mower also features other add-ons to make operation as easy as possible.
You can look into rear-mounted attachment such as moss rake, collectors, trailers and spreaders as well as front-mounted attachments. Practical front-mounted attachments include dozer and snow blades, scoop attachments and dethatchers. Even with added accessories such as these and the added weight, you will still have fast operation.
Warranty
Maintenance is easy for the fast lawn mower with cruise control [1] and electric blade engagement.
Our experts always advise customers to look closely at the consumer warranty. Don’t cut back on the cost to save on warranties. Although the pedal mower has its deck reinforced and this transmission type is maintenance-free, some sort of protection is still necessary.
The pedal tractor mower comes with 3-year limited warranty, 10-year consumer deck warranty and a 5-year warranty for the chassis, frame and front axle. You can highly depend on these warranties especially when you encounter a Husqvarna mower refusing to start.
