Husqvarna YTH22V46 46-Inch 22 HP V-Twin Hydrostatic Riding Lawn Tractor

Product Description The Husqvarna YTH22V46 is a powerful and versatile riding lawn tractor designed for medium to large residential properties. It combines a 22 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek V-Twin engine, a wide 46-inch cutting deck, pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission, and optional mulching and grass-collection capability. Its 724cc two-cylinder engine delivers smooth, consistent power for routine mowing, thicker grass, and approved tow-behind lawn-care accessories. The V-Twin configuration provides more balanced power delivery and reduced vibration compared with many single-cylinder tractor engines. An integrated oil filter supports convenient routine maintenance and longer engine service life. The mower features a 46-inch stamped-steel cutting deck, allowing it to cover more ground with each pass than smaller 42-inch tractors. This wider cutting path is well suited to open residential lawns where faster mowing productivity is important. Two anti-scalp wheels help the deck travel over minor changes in terrain while reducing the risk of the deck contacting raised areas of the lawn. The mower is supplied for side-discharge operation and can be converted for mulching or grass collection with compatible Husqvarna accessories. A pedal-operated Tuff Torq hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, continuously variable forward and reverse movement without manual gear shifting. The operator can control travel speed using the foot pedals while keeping both hands on the steering wheel, making it easier to maneuver around trees, pathways, fences, flower beds, and other landscaping features. The tractor’s deluxe overmolded steering wheel provides a comfortable grip, while the high-back vinyl seat supports the operator during longer mowing sessions. A digital hour meter with pre-programmed service intervals helps track operating time and reminds the owner when scheduled maintenance may be required. The YTH22V46 supports several optional attachments. A compatible mulch plate can be installed when the mower is equipped with appropriate mulching blades, while Husqvarna offers compatible double- and triple-bin grass collectors for clipping and leaf collection. Tow-behind carts and other approved accessories can further expand the tractor’s usefulness for residential property maintenance. The YTH22V46 is now primarily listed as a supported older model rather than a current featured Husqvarna tractor. Buyers should confirm the exact product number, production year, warranty coverage, and included accessories when purchasing remaining dealer inventory or a pre-owned unit. Husqvarna lists multiple manuals and configurations for this model across different production years.
