Q: what is the seat difference between the special edition and the regular edition on this 42 inch huskavarna zero turn. Have seen it say 15 ich seat. What is the normal size ? And does that refer to width or height of back?
a month ago2 Answers
- A: On Husqvarna's residential 42-inch zero-turn lines (like the Husqvarna Z242F Special Edition), the "upgraded 15-inch seat" is plushier, uses higher-grade cut-and-sewn vinyl or extra padding, and offers better ergonomic contours than the basic or standard-edition low/medium-back seats found on entry configurations. A 15 inch high-back design means the vertical backrest rises roughly 15 inches up from the seat cushion to give your lower and mid-back support.a month agoHelpful?

Nice tractor. Only thing I do not like is that you cannot see how much gas is in the tank and the opening to pour the gas is also small, so it is very hard to judge how much gas is in the tank, and try not to overflow it.

Husqvarna 42”Special Edition zero turn mower
a month ago
Great mower! It was on sale $400 off, but I had to pay $250 for shipping so I guess I only saved $150 on it. The seat is very comfortable, it cuts great and makes my yard look better than it did with my other mower. I do my yard in half the time it use to take me. The only reason for 4 stars is the rubber boots that go on the handles at the base of the steering arms were missing. They are shown in all the pictures you see. It’s been a month and they still haven’t gotten them yet. I guess they are waiting to come from the factory.
