Husqvarna YTH18542 Riding lawnmower. Excellent value for your homestead

Husqvarna YTH18542
Brief look at the new mower purchased at LJ PATTERSON Sales & Service Ltd
Hour meter:

Got a steal for $300. Looked new as could be. Used it probably 5 times now and the 4th time it was leaking oil around the head gasket dripping oil on the exhaust. Doesnt do it now for some reason. Started running bad and changed the fuel filter spark plug and air filter and runs like new again. Cuts very good since put new blades on. Have no idea how many hours on it.

Despite the oil leak I'm not upset. Topped off oil and mowed for a few hours and it is still full.

Overall, I think it's a fine machine. 5 stars

Awesome Tractor, runs like a pro machine

Excellent value for a homeowner grade piece of equipment

I just bought the 22v46 and I absolutely love it!! All my yard equipment is either Husqvarna or Honda. It pays to buy the very best

You might look under the rear of the tractor at the transmission. If it has a metal housing, it's hydrostatic. If it is black plastic it is belt driven variable speed. The variable speed model is the cheaper one and may not give adequate performance. Just food for thought.

I bought mine new in 2020 . Has never failed me yet . I Do maintenance on it and wash / clean it regularly. Great tractor ! Shed kept . I also did the led headlight swap .

I got a used husky 18k46 model from a local small engine shop its similar to yours but it came with the hour meter has a 46 inch deck and a kawasaki fr600v 18hp engine. very nice machine was half the price of a new one at the box store. has like 200 hours on it but she still runs great its a 2014.

Suggestions for getting seat to lock in place? Mine won't stay...moves back and forth with terrain...frustrating!!!

[mrsnapple]

would be cool if you had a link to you parts for upgrade :)

Hi sir, I have the same exact Mower, when I step on the pedal to go in reverse it barely moves but goes forward just fine. Any idea? Thanks.

Bought mine last summer. Good mower but makes a beating noise under it don't know what it is

[frankbrantley]

They are junck don't waste your money have had one for 4 years its the worst mower i ever had

[Finnmarken]

Good tractor, I bought my John Deere S100 and these are very comparable. Both companies make great lawn tractors. I have no regrets with my decision, I also believe you can't go wrong with Husqvarna if you just don't want to spend the extra for a John Deere. Great review and love your led headlights! Looking for some on my S100.

Just bought this Unit today, I figured it was time for a Ride on as I used Push Mowers all my Life. I'm from Canada as well :) at the Age where I'm getting excited over Mowers lololol I'm 34

Do you think this model would be able to handle the 42 inch snowblower attachment? Wondering if you think it has enough power to handle it.

Loved mine. I sold it for my daughter. Miss him.

[wingsnwheelsofamerica]

My fathers just broke. Won't go fwd or rev. He's used it 4 times.

I've just bought pretty much the same model brand new and as soon as I engage the blades, I feel vibration through the steering wheel and accelerator pedal. Is this normal?! It's literally got 1 hour on it and I'm sure I'm not supposed to feel any vibrations at all?! Okay it's not a lot, but it's definitely there. What do you think?!
