Husqvarna unveils all-wheel drive mower

Husqvarna has announced the launch of its new walk-behind mower with All-Wheel Drive technology, engineered to tackle the toughest mowing challenges.

The HU800AWD features a heavy-duty steel deck and a Honda GCV 190 engine. Complementing its All-Wheel Drive feature, the HU800AWD has wheels with an aggressive tread pattern, which provides additional traction and maneuverability.

Additional features include:

• Side guard and grass comb, to improve edging performance;


• Large, dust-blocking bag;


• Premium, comfort-grip control bail to reduce operator fatigue;


• Variable drive speed; and


• Water hose connector for easy deck cleaning.

The Husqvarna All-Wheel Drive walk mower is available exclusively at Lowe's and authorized Husqvarna dealers nationwide for $499.95. 

Along with the launch of the HU800AWD, Husqvarna is asking consumers to share stories of how they "Challenge the Impossible" in their everyday lives. Entrants must first "like" Husqvarna USA on Facebook, then submit a written entry (150 words or less) and a photograph to husqvarna.com/us/stories. The promotion will run from March 11 through Aug. 19, and will recognize a phase one winner in late May and the phase two winner in late August. 

The top three finalists will be voted on by consumers on the Husqvarna USA Facebook page, with both grand prize winners being awarded an outdoor prize pack valued up to $5,000
