The Husqvarna 2354GXLS garden tractor lawnmower is as powerful as the Husqvarna YTH23V48 tractor mower. They both have a 23 hp engine. The 23 hp engine in the 2354 GXLS is a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard model that has twin cylinders. This is a gasoline powered engine with a fully pressurized lubrication system to keep everything working fluidly. The total displacement of the Vanguard engine comes to 0.627 liters. The engine transfers power to the mower deck through a belt drive system.

The mower deck on the Husqvarna 2354GXLS is raised and lowered using a hand operated lever that is spring assisted. The mower deck is made from strong steel and inside, there are 3 blades that cut in swathes of 54 inches. The deck has 4 anti scalping wheels to guide it smoothly over the ground and give it an even cut. The mower deck has 6 different cutting heights that range from a low of 0.5 inches up to a high of 3.5 inches above the ground. You will notice that the mower deck on the 2354 GXLS has a wash out port that you can attach a hose to. All you need to do is turn on the hose and engage the mower deck and it will automatically clean itself.

The mower deck has 3 modes for dealing with the grass clippings that the mower deck produces. The ‘cleanest’ option is to purchase the optional rear bagger which will collect the clippings so that you can dispose of them away from your lawn. Unfortunately this is actually fairly time intensive and the bagger attachment can sometimes become blocked. Another option is to use a mulching plug which will chop up the clippings into a rapidly decomposing mulch. The last option is the easiest and least appealing to the eye. That is to just discharge the clippings onto the lawn.
