Model No: YTH1848XP
Manufacturer: Husqvarna (AYP)

This tractor is a great investment for anyone with more then an average size lawn to mow. The Kawasaki engine is also a bonus as it runs quieter then most of it's competition. The large gas cap and fuel opening makes refueling this tractor an easy chore. No more missing that small fuel opening and losing the gas cap. The seat even offers the driver some place to relax while he/she mows their lawn.
This lawn tractor mows well, and there is the possibility that you could add gator mulcher blades if you were so inclined. The tractor can also be outfitted with a grass bagger and maybe a snow plow or blower if you so wished.

Pros:
Quiet Kawasaki V-Twin OHV
Front bumper
Large "cup" holder
Larger then normal gas cap
Fuel tank capacity 4 gallon with sight gauge gallons
Cast iron front axle
Cutting width 48
electric blade engagement
Standard nose roller
4 adjustable guage wheels (anti scalp)

Cons:
if key is left on - hour meter will run up the hours
48" deck is too big for some people
snowblower attachments can be messy for the driver

Date Purchased: demo all summer for customers
Price Paid: $3499.95 (Canadian)
