The Husqvarna R216T AWD Petrol Rider Ride on Mower is a powerful Rider with twin-cylinder engine with optional 94 or 103 cm Combi cutting decks, offering first-class BioClip® and rear ejection cutting. Suitable for home- and landowners who require extra high efficiency, ease of use, superior manoeuvrability and a truly enjoyable ride.
The articulated steering system and front-mounted cutting deck means intuitive operation, excellent mowing accessibility and great overview of your working area.
Pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission, easy-access controls and automatic blade engagement, makes mowing a pleasure.
The cutting deck is easily tilted up into service position for easy cleaning after mowing. This Rider can do so much more than cutting your lawn. Thanks to attachments such as snow blade, trailer, moss rake and spreader, it can maintain your garden all year round.
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) ensures traction on uneven, wet and slippery areas and slopes. AWD automatically adjusts the traction on all wheels depending on situation and ground condition. The unique articulated steering system allows the rear pair of wheels to swing in underneath the machine. The result is superior manoeuvrability with a minimum turning radius at full lock.
Service position on the cutting deck facilitates cleaning and service. The Combi cutting deck offers the versatility of two different cutting systems. Choose between BioClip® for lawn fertilisation and rear ejection for efficient mowing on areas with higher and rougher grass. With a Rider you get safety, stability and traction on both flat grounds and hillsides. The Rider’s low gravity centre contributes to extra good traction as well as a comfortable.
Large wheels both front and back provide optimal riding comfort, great accessibility and less risk of damaging delicate surfaces. Large, transparent fuel tank makes it easy to check the fuel level. The open left-hand storage is easy to access while mowing.
A wide range of cutting decks and accessories makes our Riders exceptionally versatile, all year round. BioClip® (mulching) provides perhaps the best cutting result on the market on frequently cut areas. The grass is cut into fine pieces that quickly turn into fertiliser. The blades are engaged automatically, when you lower the cutting deck.
The cutting height lever is easy to reach from the driver’s seat, making it possible to do cutting height changes while mowing. The rear axle is pivoting to get maximum traction on the drive wheels and a smooth ride also on uneven surfaces. Thanks to the external fuel cap, you don’t have to open the engine hood when taking on more fuel. The extra wide fuel tank opening makes refueling even easier.
The tilting hood and easy-access servicing points make maintenance and servicing easy. Speed and direction are managed by pedals, which lets you keep both hands on the steering wheel, for optimum driving control. Front-mounted cutting deck for excellent accessibility into corners and under bushes, park benches etc.
Thanks to the rear-mounted engine, you get better overview of the mowing and less noise and emissions in the driver’s area. Possible to fine-tune the cutting deck position, to ensure perfect cutting results at all times. Convenient bottle holder for refreshments. The three-blade cutting deck offers first-class trimming on both left and right side and gives the same uncut circle diameter regardless of direction.
