21.5 HP Kawasaki V-Twin Engine
The TS 242XD is powered by a Kawasaki V-twin gasoline engine rated at 21.5 HP. Its two-cylinder configuration provides smooth power delivery and is well suited to residential riding mower applications.
The engine uses an air-cooled design and pressure lubrication with an oil filter. The relatively large displacement provides the torque required to drive the mower and cutting deck through normal and heavier grass conditions.
The 4-gallon fuel tank provides enough capacity for extended mowing without frequent refueling.
42-Inch Fabricated Cutting Deck
The 42-inch fabricated cutting deck provides a useful balance between mowing productivity and maneuverability. It is wide enough to cover a substantial area with each pass while remaining compact enough for many residential properties.
The deck uses three cutting blades and provides a 1.5- to 4-inch cutting-height range. Six height positions allow the operator to select a suitable mowing height for different grass types and seasonal conditions.
Deck Protection Features
The cutting deck incorporates:
- Four anti-scalp wheels
- Front nose roller
- Fabricated steel construction
- Electric blade engagement
- Deck wash port
The anti-scalp wheels help reduce the possibility of the deck contacting the ground when traveling across uneven sections of lawn.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The TS 242XD uses a Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission, giving the operator smooth and continuously variable speed control.
Rather than manually shifting gears, the operator can use the pedal-operated drive system to control the mower's forward and reverse movement. This makes it easier to adjust speed when moving between open lawn areas and tighter sections around landscaping.
Comfortable Tractor-Style Operation
The TS 242XD is designed around a conventional riding-mower layout, with a steering wheel, foot pedals, and a comfortable seat. This makes the mower familiar and straightforward to operate for homeowners who prefer traditional tractor-style controls.
The high-back seat provides additional support, while the soft-touch steering wheel gives the operator a comfortable grip during longer mowing sessions.
Durable Construction
The TS 242XD combines a robust frame with a fabricated steel cutting deck designed for regular residential use. Its front bumper provides additional protection around the front of the tractor, while the large rear tires improve traction.
The mower's 42-inch deck is also relatively compact compared with larger garden tractors, making it easier to maneuver around trees, garden beds, fences, and other residential obstacles.

Why Choose the Husqvarna TS 242XD?
The TS 242XD is a practical choice for homeowners who want more capability than a basic riding mower while still keeping the machine relatively compact. Its 42-inch fabricated deck provides good coverage without making the tractor unnecessarily large, while the 21.5 HP Kawasaki engine provides ample power for regular residential mowing.
The combination of Kawasaki V-twin power, Hydro-Gear hydrostatic drive, fabricated steel deck, anti-scalp wheels, comfortable seating, and tractor-style controls makes the TS 242XD a versatile option for maintaining medium to large residential lawns.
Ideal For
- Medium to large residential lawns
- Homeowners who prefer traditional riding-mower controls
- Properties with trees and landscaping obstacles
- Regular residential lawn maintenance
- Users looking for Kawasaki engine power
- Lawns requiring a durable fabricated deck
- Properties where a 42-inch cutting width is preferable to a larger deck
Maintenance and Usability
Routine maintenance is made easier through features such as the engine oil filter, deck wash port, electric blade engagement, and accessible tractor-style layout. Cleaning the deck after mowing can help prevent accumulated grass and debris from affecting cutting performance.
As with any gasoline riding mower, regular inspection of the engine oil, air filter, spark plugs, belts, blades, tire pressure, and transmission components is recommended according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
Important Model Identification Note
Husqvarna has produced the TS 242XD in different configurations and production years, so specifications such as engine details, deck construction, dimensions, weight, and included accessories can vary by SKU and market.
For an online product listing or parts order, it is best to verify the exact model number, SKU, and serial number of the mower before treating every specification as definitive. This helps prevent specifications from a different TS 242XD production version from being applied to the product being sold.
