This model is powered by a 22 HP Kohler engine, ensuring sufficient power for demanding mowing tasks. The mower features a 42-inch cutting deck, which is ideal for medium to large-sized lawns, allowing for a wide cutting path and reducing the number of passes needed to cover an area. The cutting deck is constructed from reinforced steel, providing durability and resistance to wear.

Equipped with a pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission, the YTH22K42 offers smooth speed adjustments and enhanced maneuverability, allowing users to seamlessly change speeds and direction without manual gear shifting. The mower includes an adjustable cutting height, ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches, which can be easily set through a fender-mounted lever, enabling customization to suit different grass types and conditions.

Additional features include an ergonomic steering wheel and a high back seat that enhances operator comfort during extended use. The mower is also designed with an air induction technology that improves airflow within the deck, resulting in a cleaner and more precise cut. The YTH22K42 supports a range of attachments, such as mulching kits and tow-behind accessories, enhancing its functionality beyond standard mowing.

Safety features include a blade engagement lever that prevents accidental activation and a reverse operating system that requires deliberate engagement for mowing in reverse. This model is suitable for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient lawn care solution, combining power, durability, and user-friendly operation.
