Description
Husqvarna R112C Rider Ride-On Lawn Mower (85cm)
Compact. Precise. Built for Real-World Gardens.
The Husqvarna R112C Rider is one of the best compact ride-on lawn mowers for UK gardens. Designed for tight spaces, obstacles and detailed lawns, it combines an 85cm front-mounted cutting deck,
articulated steering and BioClip® mulching to deliver a clean, professional finish with minimal effort.
If you’re upgrading from a walk-behind mower or struggling with a complex garden layout, the R112C gives you precision, visibility and control that standard lawn tractors simply cannot match.
Why Choose the Husqvarna R112C?
- 85cm Combi Cutting Deck – mulch (BioClip®) or rear discharge depending on conditions
- Front-Mounted Deck – cut under bushes, benches and along edges with full visibility
- Articulated Steering – tight turning circle for navigating obstacles
- Hydrostatic Drive – smooth, pedal-controlled speed adjustment
- Compact Design – ideal for smaller gardens and restricted access areas
- Husqvarna Reliability – premium engineering and proven durability
Is the Husqvarna R112C Right for You?
This machine is ideal if your garden includes:
- Trees, borders, flowerbeds or obstacles
- Tight turns or awkward lawn shapes
- Areas a standard ride-on struggles to reach
- Up to ~0.75 acre of lawn
Not ideal if: you have a large, open lawn where speed and cutting width matter more than manoeuvrability.
For larger lawns, see the Husqvarna R214C Rider ride-on lawn mower

What Makes Husqvarna Riders Better Than Lawn Tractors?
- Front cutting deck = better visibility and edge cutting
- Articulated steering = tighter turns around obstacles

If you’ve struggled with a traditional ride-on, this is the upgrade that actually solves those problems.
Our Expert Opinion
At Masseys DIY, we typically recommend the R112C to customers who:
- Are moving up from a push mower
- Have complex gardens with obstacles
- Don’t need a large tractor-style mower
The most common mistake we see is customers buying too large a machine for a detailed garden. In those cases, the R112C often performs better than bigger, cheaper ride-ons.
Things to Consider Before Buying
- Smaller deck means slower mowing on large open lawns
- Not designed for heavy-duty commercial use
- Best suited to maintained lawns rather than overgrown areas
