Husqvarna LGT2554
The engine that powers the Husqvarna LGT2554 garden tractor lawnmower is a Kohler designed and built model. This gasoline engine provides 25 horsepower (which you can hopefully guess from the name of the mower). The mower is key started using a 12 volt battery. The engine gets it’s gasoline from a fuel tank that can hold up to 15.1 liters (4 US gallons) of gas. Thankfully the LGT 2554 uses a hydrostatic transmission which means that you never have to worry about changing gears during operation. All speed control is done with the foot pedals. The hydrostatic gearbox gives the LGT 2554 a top speed of 9.7 kph (6 mph) going forwards and 4.8 kph (3 mph) when reversing.
The blades on the mower deck of the Husqvarna LGT2554 are engaged with an electric PTO. The mower deck is very large, with a cutting width of 54 inches. It houses 3 blades. The deck has an operating range of 3 inches from a high of 3.5 inches above the ground to a low of 0.5 inches above the ground. On the mower deck, you will notice 4 small, plastic wheels placed around the edge. These are anti-scalping wheels whose purpose is to keep the deck constantly elevated above the ground so that it doesn’t scrape it when it’s traveling over particularly uneven lawns.
The front wheels on the Husqvarna LGT2554 measure 16×6.5 (16 inch diameter, 6.5 inch width) and the rear tires each measure 22×9.5 (22 inch diameter, 9.5 inch width). The total length of the LGT 2554 is 72.8 inches. You will also be glad to know that it comes with a 2 year limited warranty to people who are purchasing it brand new. When buying it new, you also have the option of getting a rear bagger to collect the grass clippings or a mulching plug to turn the clippings into a nutritious mulch.

I purchased this mower in 2009 to cut my 3 acre lawn. Mower has been great, again it is a light tractor in a consumer price point. I have broke one spindle while cutting high grass going at 5 mph. The new spindle from amazon.com was 35 dollars to fix.
spindles easily break. Fuel pumps are cheap plastic vacuum type that are garbage. I bought this model because it said garden in the model…I assumed that the lgt stood for lawn garden tractor….Well, that is slightly misleading. The transmission in this tractor isnt fit for a washing machine. I bought an agrifab disc for a garden tractor and after a few passes the trans got so hot it just decided it was done moving until it cooled down. dirt wasnt wet either. Lost two spindles cutting deep grass. Had the deck all the way up and still I broke the outer spindle then the middle spindle after I fixed the outer. Bought the extended warranty from lowes, what a joke. Husquvarna said spindles broke from misuse….Guess asking it to actually cut grass is to much…Wont ever buy another husky tractor again. J.D. or nothing cause craftsman are made by husky and others are just junk.
I hate to be “THAT” guy, but my experience with this mower has de-evolved to the point that I hate it. Sadly by extension I now hate Husgavarna in general, as customer service is the usual labyrinthian layers of tele-prompted consumer denial matrix. Yes some marketing guru will label me as an “outlier” in their statistical model but believe when I tell you this a BAD product. DO NOT BUY IT! RUN DO NOT WALK TO LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED JOHN DEER STORE. You may pay more at a smaller store but service after the sale is well worth it. If the earth were to open tomorrow and the entire Husgavarna manufacturing capability were destroyed it would be a bright day or humanity.
