Husqvarna HU725AWD Lawn Mower - Review and Demo

Here's my quick review of the Husqvarna HU725AWDBBC 190cc 22-in Self-Propelled All-Wheel Drive 3-in-1 Gas Push Lawn Mower with Briggs & Stratton Engine and Mulching Capability. I bought mine at Lowes Home Improvement Center in Morganton, NC. In the video I describe the features I like (and one that I don't). All-in-all, this is an excellent lawn mower with plenty of power to pull it's self up a moderate incline. It made mowing my yard at least half as easy as walking behind a similar push mower.

The mower will row backwards if you disengage the drive lever and let the mower row forward a few inches. Doing that disengages the transmission and puts it in neutral and allows it to be pulled backwards.

The self propelled drive handles are linked. The adjuster is to remove drive belt slip or takeoff sensitivity. So grab one or the other and it will go 4 wheeln. Engine rpm is what really sets the drive speed.

I loved that comment. "Here's a nice feature" about the wash port. Never used or will ever.

They are very convienient if you're milling to dry them off afterward.

You have a good size yard Tony, don't blame you for wanting some help on those hills at your yard. You definitely get a workout pushing with or without help. Thanks for sharing...

I wanted to see it start up and runing

[@karlagoddard2353]

You have a big enough yard for a rider mower!

[@knighthawk86855]

Just an FYI... If you have a Sunoco gas station near you, they have 94 octane, and that has zero ethanol in it, it's made for high performance cars.... Use that in your mower you will never have carb issues.

It's best to mow slowly anyway Mr Glenn. The slower that you mow the more evenly the mower will cut and groom your lawn and lift the thatch leaving a more velvet like appearance. In fact if possible it good to rake your lawn before mowing to dislodge the thatch and grind it up with the mower when you mow. I wouldn't recommend a riding mower. They leave wheel marks in the lawn and penetrate the dirt.

I wish I could have heard it running.

I got one of these on the side of the road last night, was just overfilled with oil

That kinda makes me miss working at Lowes. I used to work the outdoor department.

+nagol5178 Nikki worked for Lowes for awhile. She liked it too. She said it was very structured, but that they were good to her. I just dig hanging out there and wishing I was rich!

Tony , watching this video , I noticed the grass right around your mower at beginning of video , it looked like it has a lot of the weed they call Hen Bit , that's the viney weed that thrives in feb march and very early spring - the last few years coming out of winter ive been dealing with those weeds . they are really bad around edge of the house ! I was wondering if you have a lot of that weed in your yard in early spring and if so how do you deal with it ?

[@tonyleeglenn]

+mrprimetime86 Thanks for cluing me in to the name of that weed. Yes - that mess is insidious. I'm afraid I have no strategy for removal. I just keep it mowed down. In areas where I don't want ANYTHING to grow, I use the Ortho MAX herbicide. It keeps everything clear for over 6-8 months, but I don't know any way to keep that weed down and still let the grass grow. Thanks for this question.

[@mrprimetime86]

+Tony Lee Glenn When that weed started showing up each year early in spring , I started doing research and finally found what it was and what its called ! The main problem ive seen with it , is that it seems to smother out and kill my regular grass ! The only good thing is , that as the weather gets warmer it seems to die off until the next early spring ! It only survives in temps around 60 degrees and lower

[@mrprimetime86]

+mrprimetime86 If you can find a lot of information on this weed and how to deal with it , I bet it would be a really popular video for you !

[@TastyPlacementSEO]

nice spot you have there.

[@luisjohpe]

nice yard !

The guy was right I would also recommend no Alcohol if you can find it, Do not store with ethanol for sure or with an additive.

Your lawn didn't need to be cut
