YTH22V46 review
Our take on the Husqvarna YTH22V46
The Husqvarna YTH22V46 is a 46-inch lawn tractor sold through Lowe’s. It has a 22 hp Briggs & Stratton V-twin, a pedal-operated hydrostatic drive and cruise control. Most people searching for a Husqvarna YTH22V46 review are comparing it with the TS 146 and TS 148X. It is a basic design that has been on the market for years. Even so, it covers the essentials for a yard of one to two acres.
Engine and drive
The engine displaces 44.18 cubic inches and uses a spin-on oil filter. Drive is a pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission. You change speed and direction with your feet, so both hands stay on the wheel. Cruise control holds your speed. A reverse operating switch also lets you mow in reverse.
Deck and handling
The deck cuts 46 inches, but the chute-up width is 48 inches. Measure your gates before you buy. Hi-lift blades and Air Induction airflow help the cut. Two anti-scalp wheels protect the turf, and a cast-iron front axle adds strength. The turning radius is 16 inches. A fender-mounted lever sets the cutting height. A wash port lets you rinse the deck with a hose.
Comfort and size
The seat is a 15-inch high-back design, and the step-through frame makes it easy to get on and off. The tractor weighs 434 lb. Tires are 15×6-6 in front and 20×8-8 in back. Husqvarna’s 46/48-inch triple bagger fits this model.
Limits to know about
Blade engagement is manual instead of electric. The rear tires are narrower than the 20×10-8 tires on the TS 146. We also could not find a published top speed. Pricing varies by Lowe’s store, so check before you plan around a number.
Who should buy it
Buy the YTH22V46 if you want a simple 46-inch tractor with cruise control and a tight turning radius. Choose the TS 146 for wider rear tires and a Tuff Torq drive. Pick the TS 148X if you want 24 hp and a 48-inch deck.
