In Reply to: Husqvarna rider 155 for 1/3 acre lot posted by Jim on Monday, March 10, 2003:
Interesting reading. I just bought one of these Rider 155 mowers on clearance from Lowes. I found the machine to be very effective on my 1/3 acre. Very impressed with cut around trees. It takes getting used to in tight corners where I had to back out a couple of times. It cut my work time at least by half! And I simply hate cutting grass. The fun factor on this thing is amazing. The closest thing I can think of are those bumper cars on the boardwalk. No, I'm not advocating slamming into anything but that is the closest way to decribe the maneuverability. The front fenders and hood were slightly faded on this unit from sitting out side at Lowes. I wrote an email to Husqvarna to see if the premature fading is covered by any warranty. I found the machine very sturdily built and quite heavy. The quality of cut is really good. It actually worked pretty well in heavy grass that was still wet from rain. The flip up deck is the best. If I could modify anyting on the mower it would be the Forward ground speed. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this up. I have seen the commercial models with a ground speed of up to 10 mph as opposed to 5 mph on the 155. Although this may not be good for the quality of cut. Thanks to all who posted information here on a pretty obscure topic.
