Self-propelled petrol mower for medium-sized lawns
The Husqvarna LC 247S is a self-propelled petrol lawn mower designed for comfortable and efficient mowing across medium-sized domestic lawns. Its 47cm composite cutting deck provides useful coverage without the extra width and weight of a larger mower, while the single-speed rear-wheel drive reduces the effort required to move it forward.
The Husqvarna HS 139A 139cc engine uses Auto-choke for a straightforward starting procedure. Grass can be collected in the 55-litre fabric collector or discharged from the rear. BioClip® mulching is also supported when the compatible accessory kit is fitted, but the BioClip kit and plug are not included with the mower.

Single-speed rear-wheel drive
The LC 247S uses a single-speed self-propelled system to drive the rear wheels. Engage the drive and the mower moves forward at up to 4km/h, allowing the operator to concentrate on guiding it around the lawn rather than supplying all the pushing force.
Powered assistance is useful during longer mowing runs, across slightly uneven areas and on suitable gentle inclines. Always maintain secure footing and follow the operating and slope guidance in the Husqvarna manual. Self-propelled drive does not make steep or unsafe ground suitable for mowing.
139cc Husqvarna Auto-choke engine
The Husqvarna HS 139A engine has a displacement of 139cc and produces 2.2kW at 2,900rpm. Its Auto-choke system removes the need for manual choke adjustment during normal starting.
As with any petrol lawn mower, regular maintenance is required. Follow the operator’s manual for fuel, oil, air-filter, spark-plug, blade and storage requirements.
47cm lightweight composite deck
The 47cm cutting deck offers a useful balance between coverage and manoeuvrability for a medium-sized lawn. Composite construction is corrosion resistant and helps keep the complete mower weight to 29.5kg, making it easier to turn and store than many wider petrol machines.
The deck is approximately 18.5 inches wide. Using the manufacturer’s exact 47cm specification avoids confusion with nominal 19-inch mower categories.
Collection, rear discharge and optional BioClip mulching
The LC 247S gives you a choice of grass collection or rear discharge as supplied. Optional BioClip® mulching can be added with the correct accessory kit.
Grass collection
The 55-litre fabric collector includes a dust blocker designed to retain fine particles during dry mowing. Its capacity provides a practical balance between collecting volume and overall mower size.
The collector is suitable for homeowners who prefer to remove clippings for a clean, tidy finish. Its 55-litre capacity also helps reduce unnecessary stops during regular mowing.
Rear discharge
Rear discharge can be used when collection is unnecessary or when the lawn conditions make leaving the clippings acceptable. Always use the mower with the appropriate guards and configuration described in the operator’s manual.
Optional BioClip® mulching
The LC 247S is compatible with a BioClip® accessory kit, which finely cuts and returns grass clippings to the lawn. Mulching can save time because there is no collector to empty, while the fine clippings return organic material to the grass surface.
Important: the BioClip kit and plug are not included with the mower and must be purchased separately. Confirm that the accessory is compatible with Husqvarna article number 970541201 before ordering.
Six centrally adjusted cutting heights
A single central control adjusts the cutting height through six positions ranging from 20mm to 75mm. This avoids the need to adjust individual wheels and makes it quicker to respond to changing grass conditions.
Higher settings are useful when grass growth is longer or weather conditions favour leaving more leaf length. Lower settings can be selected for regular maintenance when the lawn and conditions are suitable.
Comfortable handling and compact storage
The ergonomic handle features a soft grip and can be adjusted between two height positions. This helps different operators find a more comfortable working stance.
The handle folds to reduce the storage space required in a shed, garage or machinery store. A front lifting grip provides a convenient handhold when moving the mower or placing it into storage.
Ball bearings are fitted to both the 170mm front wheels and 210mm rear wheels for smoother movement. The complete product weighs 29.5kg.
Who is the Husqvarna LC 247S best for?
The LC 247S is a strong fit for homeowners with a medium-sized lawn who want powered assistance, good collection capacity and a deck that remains manageable around borders, paths and garden features.
Consider the Husqvarna LC 247S if:
- You want self-propelled assistance rather than a push-only petrol mower
- A 47cm deck suits your lawn area, access and storage space
- You primarily collect grass or use rear discharge
- You may want optional BioClip mulching in the future
- You prefer a corrosion-resistant composite cutting deck
- A folding handle and front lifting grip would help with storage
When should you choose another mower?
If you have a compact lawn or particularly narrow access, a smaller mower may be easier to manoeuvre and store. Compare the more compact Husqvarna LC 140SP.
For a larger or more open lawn where a wider cutting deck would reduce mowing time, consider the Husqvarna LC 253S.
If you prefer convenient push-button starting, lower routine engine maintenance and no petrol storage, compare the Husqvarna LC 142iS cordless lawn mower kit.
Why Masseys recommends the Husqvarna LC 247S
Masseys recommends the LC 247S for customers who want a step up from a compact 40cm mower but do not need the width of a larger 51cm machine. Its 47cm composite deck balances coverage with manoeuvrability, while rear-wheel drive and the 55-litre collector make regular mowing less demanding.
It is particularly suitable when grass collection is the main priority but the option to add BioClip mulching later is useful. Customers should budget for the separate BioClip kit if mulching is essential from the outset.
The LC 247S is also a sensible choice for anyone who values a corrosion-resistant deck, straightforward central cutting-height adjustment and a folding handle for storage.
