Your Opinion Of Husqvarna Lawn Tractor
You just cannot find lawn tractors today in the 16-18 hp range with
wide decks. The decks are 44 at best, and most are 42. Back in the day, I had several 16 hp. IHs with 50 decks, and now have an aging 18 Cub with 48. So I'm looking at a 23 hp Husqvana with 50 deck. Any opinions? |

Your Opinion Of Husqvarna Lawn Tractor
The reason you're experiencing this phenomenom is that the HP ratings are
not the same as the old days. Today's 23 might be lucky to actually put out 18. They are all overrated. The other reason is that 18 REAL HP would be the bare minumum to run a 48" deck properly. You'd be best off looking at the Exmark products . You'll get more mower for the buck. steve "Jack" Windswept@Home wrote in message ...

That was my guess as what was meant, too, but there's really nothing comparable--at least w/ the electric motors there is the difference between rms and peak voltage so while its bogus there is a logical (however perverted) behind it. For internal combustion, not so much... -- |

probably won't see it. What good would it do to over rate them if everyone
knew? s "dpb" wrote in message ... Oren wrote: On Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:04:32 -0500, dpb wrote: S.
