Husqvarna H16 riding mower (swedish rider)-- anyone got one or a similar model.....

[roamerr]

Way off-topic but does anyone have (or have experience with) a Husqvarna H16 riding mower (swedish rider)? It's the mower that the rear wheels turn. I am looking at buying one since it will save a few minutes on mowing my 3/4 acre (kinda like my 16x to 24x cdrw upgrade -- saves time that I waste later...).

Anyway -- If anyone has one and can give me an honest opinion versus the normal center deck mowers (Murray, MTD, John Deere, etc) it would be great. I hate to spend $3000 and be disappointed.....

Not sure if you're talking about a particular model, or just the style in general. I have a mower similar to that one, but much older, and the brand is Grasshopper...somethin like this, but older.
It works fine for me, and is a lot faster than a regular riding mower, because of the generally larger cut width, and the faster speed.

I wish it was like that but those start at $6K plus. I am referring to these:

Husqvarna 16H

The swedish riders are approx $3K to start. Click on swedish riders on the left column (not sure how to link the exact page)

Here's a direct pic:

Talk to Ornery, he's our local grass expert, at least that's the impression I got when I read he likes his tractors hung.

Take a look at Walker Mowers they are very popular around here.
