HUSQVARNA HOMEOWNER RIDER SERIES – CHANGE YOUR RIDE

For high mowing capacity combined with unbeatable manoeuvrability, you can’t go past a Husqvarna Rider. Not your average ride-on mower the Husqvarna Rider gives you total control over your working area. Isn’t it time you changed your ride?

The Husqvarna R13C and R16C are compact Riders that offer homeowners the ultimate in manoeuvrability and operator comfort thanks to superior ergonomics, adjustable seats, well grouped controls and the easy-to-drive foot-pedal hydrostatic transmissions.

What makes the Riders stand out from your average ride-on mower, is the four fundamental features that make up the Husqvarna Rider concept;

Articulated Steering
The articulated steering allows the rear wheel to swing under the machine, which ensures the Rider has a remarkably small turning radius and can easily manoeuvre around sharp corners and obstacles. If you drive in a circle at full steering lock, the uncut area will only be 20cm across – now that’s precision mowing!

Front Mounted Cutting Deck
The front mounted cutting deck provides excellent visibility and access to areas such as under shrubs, bushes or around obstacles. The grass is not flattened by the front wheels before cutting, producing a first class result.

Wheel Size
Since the Riders wheels are large and of equal size both front and back, you get a smooth, high precision ride with superior comfort to ensure you can mow for longer periods without interruption.

Engine Position
The engine is placed behind the operator, reducing the amount of noise the operator is exposed to. This also prevents having to drive through the exhaust fumes providing a cleaner, more pleasant work environment.

Both models feature powerful Briggs & Stratton engines and are equipped standard with a 94cm CombiClip® cutting deck for mulching or rear ejection, which can also be easily tilted to facilitate cleaning and deck maintenance.

Regardless of the model you choose, the results are unprecedented. Every Husqvarna Rider is built on the same robust designed, developed in conjunction with the most demanding professional users.
