Husqvarna Rider 155 rear-engine riding mower

Date Published: 9/17/08

Can't decide between a lawn tractor and a zero-turning-radius mower? The Husqvarna Rider 155 rear-engine riding mower combines some of the best features of both of those mowers. With a turning radius of just 4 inches, the Rider 155 rear-engine rider maneuvers around trees and other obstacles with ease, and the front-mounted 41-inch cutting deck makes it easy to trim in ordinarily tough-to-access areas.

The heavy-duty, three-bladed BioClip deck mulches, and also doubles as a rear-ejection deck. The deck also flips up quickly to make cleaning, belt replacement, and repair a breeze. Like a traditional riding mower, the design of this model is ergonomic and comfortable, with an adjustable seat and all the necessary controls grouped into one easy-to-reach location. The Rider 155's frames are made of powder-coated steel, and the 16-inch wheels provide a comfortable ride. This model features an electronic starter, a nine-step cutting height from between 1.8 and 3.7 inches, and a forward speed of up to 5.5 miles per hour. The Rider 155 rear-engine riding mower comes with a 2-year residential warranty.

The Husqvarna YTH2348 is another step above all models below the YTH2246 and YTH20K46 lawn tractors. The YTH2348 lawn tractor includes a two cylinder 23 horsepower Briggs & Stratton Intek engine. A big difference is the 48" cutting deck that comes with triple blades for excellent cutting. The max ground speed for forward and reverse are similar to other models and the fuel tank is a little larger at 3 gallons.
