A Deere is a Deere
Don't know about the Husqvarna, but I do know the garden tractors by Deere at Lowes/Depot are the exact same model as at the Deere dealer. Neither big box store can deliver a Deere unless the local Deere dealer has inspected and certified it and placed the dealer sticker on it. When I purchased my Deere this season I verified this with the local dealer, who eventually certified the mower I bought from Lowes. Both the dealer and Lowes offered the exact same price, but Lowes gave me a $250 gift card, which the dealer couldn't match.
Actually the dealer was very good about it, as he said he would be happy with providing parts and maintenance after the sale...which is where he makes the bulk of his business anyway.....
