A commercial-grade 15 hp Kawasaki engine separates the YTH1542XP from the rest of the pack. Its V-Twin, overhead valve engine with full pressure lubrication and spin-on oil filter minimizes maintenance and maximizes performance. A 42” deck with step-thru design complements its durable welded frame and cast iron front axle. You can easily move forward and backwards with the YTH1542XP’s pedal-controlled hydrostatic transmission. A simple pull of the button on the control panel engages your blades while an hour meter tracks your usage for future scheduled maintenance. Gauge wheels on the deck prevent scalping of your grass in uneven terrain. Additional features include 6-position cutting height adjustment, 4 gallon fuel tank, an 18” turning radius and comfortable 15” high back seats.
