For just a few hundred dollars more than less decked-out models, the Husqvarna YTH2448 lawn tractor delivers a powerful, efficient mowing experience.

With its 24-horsepower Briggs & Stratton twin cylinder engine, there's not much this tractor can't do, whether it's mowing up and down hills or towing a heavy cart or aerator. The expansive 48-inch mowing deck lets you cut wide strips of grass, reducing the hours you spend in the yard.

But even if you do spend a lot of time mowing, rest assured that it'll be a comfortable experience. The adjustable seat provides plenty of support, and the controls are all well within reach, including the fender-mounted speed control and the six-setting cutting height handle.

The YTH2448 also features a roomy 4-gallon fuel tank, electric PTO clutch, and a cup holder.

The Husqvarna YTH2248 is a durable unit, with a cast-iron front axle and a powder coating on the deck to provide extra protection.
