General facts about Husqvarna zero-turn mowers Our zero-turn mowers are durable, with a heavy-duty frame and offer powerful, reliable engine options. All components are designed to withstand demanding use over long periods.
The control placement and operator position and interface on our zero-turn riding lawn mowers provide an intuitive and ergonomic mowing experience. Our vibration-dampening design provides increased comfort and reduces operator fatigue. Large, wide rear wheels put less pressure on the lawn surface, which means they flatten the grass less, allowing the blades to reach the grass more efficiently. A low center of gravity provides better traction and stability: an advantage if the ground is uneven.
Wherever possible, we note the transmission. In most cases, this a Hydrogear EZT, a well-known and cost-effective residential-grade transaxle that has a reputation for durability. Some mowers use a deck stamped from one piece of metal, others use a deck fabricated from multiple pieces and welded together.
The advantage of a fabricated deck is that manufacturers can deliver a deck built from thicker steel at a lower cost than they could otherwise. The decks shown below are sized from 42 to 52 inches. When powered by these engines and the Hydrogear, these mowers will deliver a decent cut quality at their rated top speed of seven miles per hour.
Note, however, that cut quality on these machines will decline steeply if you maintain that speed in very thick grass or on uneven terrain. As to the electric mowers shown below, they represent the leading edge of the technology in this category.
These are remarkable and expensive mowers powered by large voltage lithium-ion batteries. A week of intermittent rain and sun formed perfect grass-growing conditions. When it was time to test the Deere, we found our test zone more closely resembled a hay field instead of the lawn that it was just the week before. We cut the area to bring it down to size, then we recut it and crosscut it.
One area was so bad, it required a fourth cut. Fortunately, the Deere has several things working in its favor. For the money, the Deere is ruggedly built. We found it easy to steer, uphill and down, over ruts, and around various obstacles, like fences and sign posts.
In the thickest and tallest grass, we set the Deere to full throttle and plowed ahead in side discharge mode, throwing a steady stream of clippings. When the grass was shorter, we flipped the mulching lever on the deck and mulched the clippings, rather than discharging them out the side of the deck. Speaking of which, the deck is a stamped three-blade type with a rolled outer edge and excellent pulley protection. We really like the exterior pully covers that fiip up to allow the user to clear the build up of grass clippings.
In other respects, the Deere is a model of simplicity, with a 2. All the oil is contained in the filter. Ariens mowers and snow blowers have garnered high marks in our tests for decades.
We attribute that to sound engineering and better than average build quality. This mower combines the reliability and high-torque characteristics of a hp Kawasaki engine with a rugged inch fabricated gauge steel deck, plus a smooth-running Hydrogear EZT transmission at each rear wheel.
The Hydrogear is a popular residential-grade transaxle with a one-inch-diameter axle and a pound weight rating. You need that much capacity with a product like this.
The mower by itself weighs pounds before you add a driver and 2. The Hydrogear provides a top speed of 7 mph. The deck mount hangs off a tube steel frame. And Ariens frames are stiff, models of neat welding and well-applied paint. Change Region. North America. New Zealand. Zero Turn Mowers.
