One of Husqvarna’s premium residential models for the more demanding user, the LC348V is a rear wheel drive self-propelled lawnmower that, with its incredibly strong 48cm zinc-plated steel cutting deck, is ideal for maintaining medium to large lawns. Moreover, flexibility is also offered with the LC348V, both in terms of the cutting height and with its dual function cut and collection and rear discharge capabilities.

For the cut and collection option, the LC348V is fitted with a 60 litre capacity down-vented hard grass collector, its high capacity saving you time by reducing the number of stops you’ll have to make to dispose of clippings. Moreover, the vents on the collector serve to heighten collection efficiency and reduce the build-up of dirt and dust, while Husqvarna’s unique advanced flow technology design enhances the air flow, filling the collector to the optimum level to make emptying it a lot simpler. The discharge option meanwhile ejects the cuttings back out of the mower, preventing the blade from becoming clogged up when you are dealing with thicker, overgrown grass. Height of cut, meanwhile, is adjusted via a mechanically assisted single lever system, allowing the choice of five different cutting heights between 25mm and 75mm. The LC348V is thus fully capable of dealing with a variety of mowing conditions.

The LC348V is also self-propelled, making traversing your garden much easier and saving you a lot of energy in the process. Propulsion is provided by the powerful and easy-starting 190cc Briggs & Stratton 650e Series engine, designed to eliminate the need to prime before use and featuring an easy-to-use pull start system. Variable speed adjustment up to 5.4km/h is provided via the mower’s AutoWalk control system, conveniently located on the handlebar, which allows for quick selection of the mower’s ground speed whilst in use. Moreover, as the handlebar can be adjusted two different heights, you can find the most comfortable mowing position for you, and its folding capability makes storage a lot easier.

Smooth manoeuvrability with the LC348V is assured by the inclusion of double ball bearing wheels, their durable design also ensuring a long life. Furthermore, the mower’s stainless steel bumper reduces the effect of any accidental collisions and the hose connection allows you to easily rinse out the cutting deck, removing any leftover grass cuttings and preventing any blockages; the underside can also be cleaned if you turn on the cutting blade whilst washing, helping maintain optimum mowing performance and a longer service life.
