Husqvarna Extend Battery Range

May 8, 2019/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by Alex Halls

Husqvarna Extend Battery Range: Husqvarna — one of the world’s leading producers of forest, park and garden products — extends its range of battery lawnmowers with the Husqvarna LC 353iVX, a new battery walk-behind designed for demanding domestic use in medium to larger lawns. The mower is equipped with Husqvarna Connect which offers Bluetooth connectivity to a smart phone, variable speed self-drive and 53cm composite cutting deck and dual battery slots. Powered by high efficiency brushless motors, the new lawnmower from Husqvarna is quiet and without direct emissions.

The demand for easy to use, quiet battery products with no direct emissions and low running costs is steadily rising and people are getting increasingly interested in neighbourhood friendly garden tools. Husqvarna LC 353iVX does not release any fumes and with a brushless electric motors it operates at around 83 dB, which is significantly lower than a petrol walk behind lawnmower with similar performance.

Thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, Husqvarna LC 353iVX can be paired with Husqvarna Connect, allowing users to get information and tips on maintenance and troubleshooting as well as finding guides and manuals. Furthermore, with the mobile app, it is possible to see battery status, helping users plan their garden work more efficiently. The app also allows direct contact to a local Authorised Husqvarna dealer.

With a runtime of up to 70 minutes coupled with a lightweight 53cm composite cutting deck, Husqvarna LC 353iVX is designed for medium to larger sized domestic gardens. The product features variable speed digital drive allowing the ground speed of the machine to be adjusted to suit the walking speed of the user. For increased safety, Husqvarna LC 353iVX has a transport mode which stops the blade from turning and leaves the engine running, enabling off-turf traversing and convenient stop and go operation.

Automatic battery switch and energy saving mode

The new LC 353iVX from Husqvarna has dual battery slots with a feature that automatically switches battery if one of them is out of power, letting the user continue mowing without having to stop to switch batteries. Continuous drive with two batteries means longer runtime and more efficient mowing. The mower can be used with a single battery or a combination of the BLi integrated batteries, ideal for users that already own Husqvarna Battery series products.

The digital control panel on the new Husqvarna battery lawnmower gathers all user controls, gives an overview of the remaining runtime and lets the user choose between four speeds, depending on their needs. The savE™ mode on the Husqvarna lawnmower is designed to lower the RPM, while retaining torque to preserve battery life. By simply pushing the savE™ button on the keypad the energy saving mode is activated or de-activated.

Husqvarna uses a compatible battery system which means it’s possible to use the same batteries for all Husqvarna battery powered products of the same voltage, such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, trimmers or blowers.

Availability and price

The Husqvarna LC 353iVX battery walk behind is available from March 2019 from Authorised Husqvarna dealers, starting at £590.00 including VAT

Next Gen Husqvarna Riders

Next Gen Husqvarna Riders: Husqvarna — one of the world’s leading producers of forest, park and garden products — launches two new semi-professional out-front mowers built on a new chassis with a new and innovative X-Change drive in-drive out attachment frame. The Husqvarna R 419TsX AWD and the Husqvarna R 420TsX AWD are both Bluetooth® connected Riders with an updated human-machine interface and new strong automotive style LED headlights.

With the new Riders from Husqvarna, the R 419TsX AWD and the R 420TsX AWD, the company takes 30 years’ experience of developing Riders into the next generation. The new platform enables an even more enjoyable riding experience with unique features and added value to extend the success story of Husqvarna Riders. Thanks to the new and innovative X-Change feature, the user can quickly change attachment without the need for belt removal of any tools, saving time and adding to the versatility of the machine. This also eliminates the need for belt removal when putting the cutting deck into service position.

“The new Husqvarna R 419TsX AWD and the Husqvarna R 420TsX AWD are developed for professionals and landowners who need a compact and versatile Rider with commercial performance. The size of the new Riders enables access to tight areas that are hard to reach with bigger machines and reduces the cost for manual work with walk behind mowers or trimmers”, says Daniel Mannerström, Product Portfolio Manager at Husqvarna.

A new HMI (Human-Machine Interface) display communicates with the driver, assists in handling and shows real time data and warnings – increasing overall productivity. The new Riders are compatible with Husqvarna Connect and Husqvarna Fleet Services™ through Bluetooth® connectivity. With Husqvarna Connect, the user gets useful information about the Rider in the Husqvarna Connect app and with Husqvarna Fleet Services™ data is transferred from the Rider, helping contractors manage their fleet of products.

The new Riders also feature all-wheel drive hydrostatic transmissions which vastly improves stability and traction when working in more challenging situations.

Both models are also equipped with automotive style headlights and smart tool carrier. The tool carrier on the engine hood has an easy access 12V outlet making it convenient to charge handheld battery products while you are mowing. The carrier can also be fitted with a cargo holder.

The new Riders from Husqvarna are equipped with new automotive-style LED headlights with 180-degree coverage to increase visibility near and far from the machine. Following thorough ergonomic studies in the initial development of the Riders, Husqvarna created more adjustment possibilities and space for the driver. The updated steering wheel with a fresh, modern design has quick height adjustment as well as comfortable and defined grip areas and a steering wheel knob to increase ergonomics and handling. The articulated power steering makes manoeuvring around obstacles effortless and with an uncut turning circle of 70cm a single pass can be all it takes to navigate around obstacles. The front mounted combi cutting decks allow more to done with the machine, reducing or eliminating the need to carry out follow up work with a trimmer. The Combi decks provide class leading mulch performance recycling the clippings back into the soil improving grass condition. Cutting decks can be easily converted to rear eject for areas of longer grass.

The R 419TsX AWD comes fitted with commercial grade 656 cm³ Briggs & Stratton V-Twin engine and has the option of new X-Change 103cm and 112cm Combi cutting decks. The 400 series range topping R 420TsX AWD is fitted with a powerful commercial grade 724 cm³ Kawasaki V-twin engine and has the option of X-Change 103cm, 112cm and 122cm Combi cutting decks. A completely new range of X-Change drive in-drive out attachments are also available making the Riders true all year round machines for any situation.

Availability and price

The Husqvarna R 419TsX AWD is available from April at Authorised Husqvarna dealers, starting at £10,350.00 including VAT (with Combi 103)

The Husqvarna R 420TsX AWD is available from April at Authorised Husqvarna dealers, starting at £11,650.00 including VAT (with Combi 112)
