The Husqvarna Wh5217 is a hydrostatic host with a foot driver. This machine uses a tw o-cylinder kawasaki engine produced by 17 hp, just like the HF3617 Husqvarna, except that it has a much larger cut width, 52 inches. The engine transfers the power to the wheels through a Kizaki pump and a Parker wheel motor system. This transmission system provides WH 5217 a maximum speed of 9. 7 km/h when it moves forward, while reverse can reach a maximum speed of 4. 8 km/h. The wheels that drive the cutter measure each 16 × 6. 5-8 (16 inches in diameter, 6. 5 inches of width, 8 inches of tire diameter). These rear wheels have a grass thread, while the fronts are totally smooth, since their main function is to keep the balanced host and be able to turn easily.
The 5 2-inch platform of Husqvarna Wh 5217 has 3 blades. The platform is fixed and manufactured in 1 0-inch caliber steel. The platform rises and lowers manually using a sprin g-assisted lever mechanism. Fortunately the Wh5217 has high resistance spindles that are very durable. This cutting platform, when it works in optimal conditions can cut up to 2. 5 grass acres.

Wh 5217 weighs 220 kg (485 lbs) which means that fortunately it is not as heavy as Husqvarna Whf6123 or Husqvarna Whf5223.
