Having a squizz on You Tube to get out of the heat (yes , even in Tassie) going to be pushing 40 C tomorrow too apparently ..and found a review on the new Husqvarna entry level ride on . These have replaced the LT series mowers that were pretty successful for a long time . Mine is the LTH 19530 ..
Not a bad deal ..Just under $3000, 17.5 hp ..(mine is 19.5 hp) and 5 year warranty .. Bloody easy to maintain , really reliable and plenty of power for most private owners . Mine is about 6 years old now and is a joy to use . I cut a couple of other places for people who can't really do it themselves anymore and was interesting to see the current base level Husky's ..
