Description
Model: Husqvarna TS242D with Collector
Husqvarna TS242D is primarily a side-discharge garden tractor designed for medium-to-large gardens. It is important to clarify that the “D” in the model name typically stands for Side Discharge.
Unlike “TC” (Tractor Collector) models which have a built-in rear collection tunnel, the TS 242D requires an external Collector Accessory to bag grass. When equipped with this collector, it becomes a versatile machine capable of switching between side ejection, mulching (with a kit), and bagging.
Features
-
Kawasaki FR Series V-Twin Engine: Known for quiet operation, smooth power delivery, and exceptional durability.
-
Automatic Locking Differential: The transmission automatically locks the rear wheels when it senses slippage. This is a premium feature essential for uneven terrain or damp conditions.
-
ClearCut™ Fabricated Deck: A welded (not stamped) steel deck with reinforcement strips. It is designed for high airflow, which aids significantly in pushing grass up the chute into the collector.
-
Hydrostatic Transmission: Pedal-operated speed and direction control (like an automatic car) allows you to keep both hands on the steering wheel.
-
Electric Blade Engagement: Engage the cutting blades simply by pulling a switch on the control panel.
-
Cast Iron Front Axle: Provides better stability and balance, helping the front end stay planted even when the rear heavy collector is full.
Collector Configuration
-
Attachment Type: It uses a twin-bin bagger system (typically 210–225 Liters) that mounts to the rear of the tractor.
-
Chute System: A hard plastic chute connects the side discharge opening of the deck to the rear bins.
-
Versatility: The major advantage of the TS 242D + Collector setup over a dedicated rear-collection mower is versatility. You can remove the collector chute in minutes to handle tall, rough grass via side discharge, which dedicated collection mowers often struggle with.
