Understanding Hydrostatic Transmission

What is hydrostatic transmission?

Hydrostatic transmission is a method of power transmission that utilizes hydraulic fluid to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Unlike traditional mechanical transmissions, which use gears to change speed and direction, hydrostatic transmissions offer smooth and seamless operation.

Benefits of hydrostatic transmission

One of the primary advantages of hydrostatic transmission is its simplicity and durability. With fewer moving parts than conventional transmissions, hydrostatic systems require less maintenance and are less prone to wear and tear. Additionally, hydrostatic transmissions provide infinite variability in speed, allowing for precise control over the mower's movement.

Innovative Park Brake System

How does the park brake system work?

The Husqvarna 42 in. Zero Turn features a patent-pending park brake system that automatically activates or deactivates as the steering levers are moved outward or inward. This intuitive design eliminates the need for manual engagement of the parking brake, providing added convenience and safety for operators.

Advantages of the patent-pending park brake system

By integrating the park brake system with the steering levers, Husqvarna has simplified the operation of the mower, reducing the risk of accidental rollaways and enhancing overall control. Whether navigating tight turns or traversing slopes, operators can rely on the park brake system to ensure stability and peace of mind.

Versatile Clipping Management Options

Discharging clippings

The Husqvarna 42 in. Zero Turn offers multiple options for managing grass clippings. For homeowners who prefer to discharge clippings onto the lawn, the mower's side discharge chute provides efficient dispersal, preventing clumping and promoting a healthy lawn.

Mulching clippings

For those seeking a more environmentally friendly approach to lawn care, the optional mulching kit allows for the finely chopped clippings to be redistributed back into the turf, providing natural fertilization and moisture retention.

Bagging clippings

When a pristine lawn is the top priority, the bagger attachment offers a convenient solution for collecting clippings and maintaining a clean-cut appearance. With the bagger attachment, users can easily dispose of grass clippings without leaving behind unsightly debris.
