As an installer I recommend the Husqvarna R 316TsX AWD when you need a robust, year‑round ride‑on for large or challenging sites. It pairs a Kawasaki V‑Twin petrol engine with hydrostatic transmission, power‑assisted articulated steering and genuine all‑wheel drive to deliver traction, stability and precise control. The machine is supplied deckless so you can fit the combi cutting deck size that matches your work, and it comes ready for Husqvarna Connect via Bluetooth for basic runtime and service information.
Reliable traction in poor conditions
All‑wheel drive (AWD) automatically adjusts traction across all wheels so the Rider maintains grip and consistent cutting on uneven, wet or slippery ground.
Easy manoeuvring around obstacles
Articulated steering with power assistance reduces steering effort and gives a very small turning radius, useful for trees, benches and tight features.
Flexible cutting options
The machine is delivered deckless and accepts 103 cm or 112 cm Combi cutting decks for BioClip® or rear ejection. The front‑mount option improves access under low obstacles and into corners.

Key features

Adjustable steering wheel
Steering wheel height can be adjusted with a telescopic steering column for excellent ergonomics and comfort.

HMI Display
The intuitive HMI display provides real-time data and guides through visual symbols and warning sounds to facilitate the driver’s work.

Attachment frame
The attachment frame facilitates versatile use and makes it easy to shift between cutting decks and front-mounted attachments, such as broom, flail mower, snow blade and snow thrower.

Optional Combi cutting deck
This Rider is delivered deckless and can be fitted with 103 or 112 cm Combi cutting decks for efficient BioClip® and rear ejection cutting.

Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering makes driving less strenuous and more enjoyable.

Comfortable driver’s position
With a Rider you get safety, stability and traction on both flat grounds and hillsides. The Rider’s low gravity centre contributes to extra good traction as well as a comfortable ‘sit-in’ feeling for the user.

Dual LED lights for improved visibility, both near and remote.
Dual LED lights for enlarged lighted area and safer operation in darker conditions. Improved visibility, both near and remote.

Front-mounted cutting deck
Front-mounted cutting deck for excellent accessibility into corners and under bushes, park benches etc.

Unique articulated steering
The articulated steering gives excellent maneuverability and facilitates driving around obstacles such as trees and bushes. Since the rear pair of wheels can swing underneath the machine, the turning radius becomes minimal at full lock.

All-Wheel-Drive (AWD)
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) ensures traction on uneven, wet and slippery areas and slopes. This gives you reliable maneuverability and uniform cutting results, even when the conditions are challenging. AWD automatically adjusts the traction on all wheels depending on situation and ground condition.

Service position
The cutting deck can be tilted up into service position for easy access during cleaning or service.

Husqvarna Connect
With the smart Husqvarna Connect app, you’ll have easy access to helpful tips, manuals and spare part recommendations. For your connected Bluetooth equipment, the app also provides additional information such as runtime and charging status as well as maintenance and service needs. The app can be downloaded, free of charge, from App Store or Google Play.
