Husqvarna GTH26V52LS
The Husqvarna GTH26V52LS lawn mower is one of the biggest garden tractors that Husqvarna make. It is powered by a 26 hp engine and has a 53 inch wide mowing deck that consist of 3 blades. If it’s something smaller (but still a lawn tractor) from Husqvarna that you are after, then you should check out the Husqvarna YTH2042 or even the Husqvarna LTH18538 lawn mowers. The GTH 26V 52 LS is also sometimes referred to by it’s model number which is 960 43 01-18.
The engine powering the Husqvarna GTH26V52LS lawn mower is a FR Series Kawasaki. This 2 cylinder, air cooled engine has a displacement of 0.726 liters and is keystarted with the help of a 12 volt battery. The battery is recharged once the engine is turned on using a 15 amp alternator. The gasoline tank supplying fuel to the engine is capable of holding up to 15.1 liters (4 US gallons) of gas, more than enough for well over 2 hours of constant operation before it will need to be refilled. This 52 inch Husqvarna is an automatic thanks to it’s hydrostatic, ‘Hydro-Gear’ transmission which gives the tractor mower a top speed of 12.6 kph (7.8 mph) going forwards and a max speed of 3.4 kph (2.1 mph) when it’s reversing.
The Husqvarna GTH26V52LS garden tractor lawnmower has 3 choices for dealing with grass waste. Some choose to just discharge it out the side of the mower deck onto the grass, where it will slowly rot (and is a bit of an eyesore). Another option is to purchase the BioClip, mulcher kit which will allow you to mulch the grass clippings. The last and most time consuming option is to purchase the triple bagger attachment and collect the grass waste, leaving you lawn looking very clean.

This is my 3rd mower. Craftsman and Murray were the previous.
This is like a Cadillac; it is smooth, quiet and very well made. I plan on doing the routine maintenance and anticipate no problems with the Kawi engine.
Steering very tight – handles well.
Hydro transmission transitions smoothly.
Very quiet.
