Available exclusively through our independent servicing dealer network, the LS Series are engineered for the discriminating landowner who desires a tractor with added durability, comfort, style and precision.A locking rear differential transforms the 2346XLS into a hill climbing machine. Fully automatic with no levers to pull or buttons to push, the differential on the 2346XLS senses when a rear wheel starts to spin, locking the wheel and giving it positive traction. This makes the 2346XLS perfect for mowing slopes and for use on wet grass.The 2346XLS features a commercial-grade V-Twin, 23 horsepower Briggs and Stratton Vanguard™ engine. The Vanguard™ engine is lab-tested for 2,000 operating hours and designed for challenging mowing conditions that require long hours of operation. Cast-iron cylinder sleeves and thick wall castings allow the engine to withstand wear better than typical consumer tractor engines while providing superior oil control. Balanced counterweights on the crankshaft reduce vibration which prolongs the life of the engine. An automotive-style air filtration system blocks out minute foreign particles and keeps your engine clean. Finally, the 2346XLS has a large, 4 gallon fuel tank to ensure that you won’t have to make frequent trips to the shed to refuel. The 46” cutting deck on the 2346XLS has twin blades and our innovative Air Induction™ mowing technology which ensures a smooth, consistent cut. Welded steel tubing reinforces the trim side of the deck. An electric clutch easily engages the blades with the simple pull of a button. 4 gauge wheels on the deck prevent scalping on uneven terrain. There’s even a deck wash system, so you can connect your garden hose to the port in order to clean the underside of the deck.As for durability, the 2346XLS has a 12 gauge welded steel frame and a cast iron front axle.Ergonomics is a key selling point when it comes to products manufactured by Husqvarna. All of our LS Series tractors have 15” high back seats for a comfortable ride and a step-thru design to make it easier to climb on and off. Our V-Twin engine has a lot less vibration and noise than single cylinder engine models. A pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission means that you can keep both hands on the wheel while you move forward or in reverse.Not only does the 2346XLS have substance, but it also has style. We’ve added a brush guard in the front to protect your investment. 20” x 10” rear tires provide better stability and added heft. A new sporty steering wheel and aluminum “racing” foot pedal have been added to enhance the “look and feel” of the machine.What else can you expect from a Husqvarna LS Class tractor? How about a 12 volt battery charger for your cell phone or MP3 player? A cupholder. An hour meter for helping track scheduled maintenance. And a two-year limited consumer warranty. When you are looking for a premium tractor for a good value, start with the LS Series.
