Husqvarna TS 354XD 54-Inch 24 HP Kawasaki V-Twin Riding Lawn Tractor

Product Description The Husqvarna TS 354XD is a heavy-duty riding lawn tractor designed for large residential properties, demanding mowing conditions, and year-round yard maintenance. It combines a powerful Kawasaki V-Twin engine, a wide fabricated cutting deck, hydrostatic drive, enhanced traction, and premium operator-comfort features. Power is supplied by a 24 HP Kawasaki FR Series V-Twin engine with a displacement of 726cc, or 44.3 cubic inches. Its two-cylinder design delivers smooth power, dependable torque, and reduced vibration while mowing thick grass or operating compatible tow-behind accessories. The engine includes an oil filter, electric starting system, and a 15-amp charging system. The TS 354XD features a wide 54-inch ClearCut™ fabricated cutting deck built for durability and efficient coverage. The fabricated deck uses three cutting blades and a reinforced steel design intended to withstand more demanding conditions than a lightweight stamped deck. Its high-airflow cutting system lifts grass before cutting to help create an even finish and distribute clippings effectively. Seven deck-height positions provide a cutting range of approximately 1.5 to 4 inches, allowing the mower to handle different grass varieties, seasonal growth, and lawn conditions. Four anti-scalp wheels and a front nose roller help the deck follow uneven terrain while reducing the risk of scalping raised areas of the lawn. A pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, continuously variable forward and reverse movement without manual gear shifting. The operator controls travel speed through foot pedals while keeping both hands on the soft-grip steering wheel. Maximum travel speed is approximately 5.5 MPH forward, while published reverse-speed figures vary slightly by configuration, at roughly 2.1 to 2.5 MPH. The TS 354XD’s electric locking differential improves traction by allowing both rear wheels to work together when one wheel begins to lose grip. This feature is especially useful on damp grass, uneven terrain, mild slopes, gravel transitions, and other conditions where an open differential may allow a single tire to spin. The tractor rides on a durable steel chassis with a cast-iron front axle and brush-guard-style front bumper. Large rear tires provide stable traction, while the standard steering-wheel layout makes the mower familiar and easy to operate for homeowners accustomed to traditional lawn tractors. Operator comfort is enhanced by a premium high-back vinyl seat with armrests and an ergonomic soft-grip steering wheel. The mower also supports service-hour tracking through compatible Husqvarna connectivity features on the listed configuration, helping owners monitor operating time and plan routine maintenance. The mower comes configured for side discharge and supports optional mulching and grass collection with compatible Husqvarna accessories. Its rear attachment capability also allows the use of approved carts, spreaders, aerators, dethatchers, lawn sweepers, and other tow-behind equipment. The TS 354XD is now primarily represented by Husqvarna as a supported legacy model rather than a featured model in the current U.S. riding-mower lineup. Buyers should therefore confirm the exact production year, SKU, warranty status, and included accessories when purchasing remaining new inventory or a used machine.
