Husqvarna Rider 216T AWD – Ride-on mower with all-wheel drive

The Husqvarna Rider 216T AWD is the most powerful model in the 200 Rider series, combining high performance with exceptional maneuverability and comfortable operation.

Thanks to the All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the Rider offers excellent traction on various surfaces, as well as on damp, uneven, or sloped areas. The articulated steering ensures particularly high maneuverability, allowing for precise mowing even in tight turns.

The cutting deck is sold separately and is not part of the basic equipment. Depending on the application, the Rider can be equipped with a 94 cm or 103 cm wide cutting deck.

Comfort and Operation

The controls are easily accessible from the driver's seat. The hydrostatic transmission is operated via two foot pedals, allowing for simple control of speed and direction.

The adjustable steering wheel and the comfortable driver's seat ensure a pleasant seating position. Furthermore, the rear-mounted engine improves visibility of the work area.

Front-mounted cutting deck

The front-mounted deck provides excellent visibility of the area to be mowed and allows for mowing in hard-to-reach places, such as under bushes or in tight corners.

Because the deck is in front of the vehicle, the grass can be captured immediately before cutting, without being flattened by the wheels first.
