Practical, self-propelled petrol mower designed for medium to large domestic lawns. The LC 253S combines a 53 cm cutting width with a 166 cm³ Husqvarna engine and a 60 litre fabric collector to give efficient collection, straightforward height adjustment and a foldable handle for easier storage and transport. I recommend this model where tidy collection and simple handling are priorities.
Effective grass collection
The 60 litre fabric collector with dust blocker reduces clippings left on the lawn, so you spend less time raking and more time enjoying a tidy finish.
Self-propelled rear-wheel drive
Single-speed rear drive assists forward movement up to 4 km/h, making it easier to mow larger plots and gentle slopes with less effort.
Easy cutting height control
Central cutting height adjustment with six steps (20–75 mm) lets you change height with a well-balanced one-handed lever for quick on-the-job changes.
