Final Analysis:
Pros: This Husqvarna YTH23V48 riding lawn tractor does a great job and is very powerful even through very tall grass. Rather than having a manual style transmission like other tractors, it has the hydrostatic drive which is very convenient. It offers a great deal of accessories and is the perfect size. It is built with a solid, heavy steel construction too.
Cons: The ignition on the Husqvarna YTH23V48 Riding Lawn Tractor is a bit inconvenient. You have to actually turn the key to the correct position in order to keep the engine from stalling while in reverse. However, this is not a huge problem once the key is in that position.
This tractor does not do a very good job with mulching and leaves clippings behind and big clumps if grass is wet. The engine tends to leak oil a little around the gasket, but this is more of a Briggs and Statton issue rather than a Husqvarna. Other than this, this tractor is powerful and does exactly what it is suppose to do.
