Great review. Thank you. To me the greatest draw of that unit is the Kawasaki motor. Thanks again

Have you levelled the deck cause i have the exact same mower and i find that it cuts great no stair stepping at all but I had to levell the deck.

you mentioned the sticks are not evenly making it go straight, there is a bolt head on the front of the sticks at the bottom and rabbit and turtle symbols so you know which way to turn it to adjust each sides speed. saw this on another vid.

Hi, great review, how many acres do you mow?

In the spring before things dry out maybe 1.5-2 then down to like .5 in the fall.

Does anyone know if you still have to pick up the grass using these zero turns or does it shave it small enough to skip
@hillsautohome346
@hillsautohome346 8 ай бұрын
From my experience it depends on if you have a mulching kit on or not. I don't have one and as long as I mow often enough the clippings are small enough. Just depends on of often you want to mow and how fast the grass is growing.

Just bought a Z254F. Are your control arms stiff pulling them in from park position? Mine seem overly tight. Maybe they will loosen over time? Thanks
@hillsautohome346
@hillsautohome346 Жыл бұрын
They are more stiff going into park. Going out of park they are tight but not hard for myself or lady to pull them in. I don't think mine have loosed up at all.

Have the same mower and when it demonstrated to me by the dealer he said to NOT engage the deck at full power but at HALF power. Thoughts?
@hillsautohome346
@hillsautohome346 Жыл бұрын
The owners manual states to engage the deck under full throttle. Also to only mow under full throttle. Should let it warm up before use under mid throttle.

I had dealers tell me to engage full throttle, but when I did I was snapping belts like three times a year. And now I been engaging in low throttle for years now and I almost never have to buy a belt anymore.

Everybody I know raved about Husqvarna, so I gave in and looked into the residential zero-turn models. They just didn't feel right to me. Over months, I did the same with Toro, Cub Cadet, Kubota and many others. The John Deere Z330R / 23hp Kawasaki / 54" deck offered the best match for most if not all of my needs. *(About half of the top limit of acres recommended)* But if I had 3 hours/acres of mowing that beat the hell out of me, I myself, would probably aim for a roughly 6-acre max, lower-end but top name commercial zero-turn mower, roll bar and all if at all possible. They say these smaller entry level residentials can go up to 3 acres (or so) regularly, I personally fell right in the middle of that range and wouldn't have to run my investment to an early death. You know what to do, I'm just saying how I used the top acre limit to calibrate a gentler use of the machine over-all by having it's max acreage recommendation roughly double what I would actually use per mow. It's not a bad formula if you want to save your back, tons of money, and long-life your mower.

I could not agree more. I am considering upgrading to something with a 60'' deck because I am racking up the hours fast on this.

I bought a used z5424 that I'm very happy with. The previous owner disconnected all the safety shit and that is a lot less complicated. It's a 2016 and had 180 hrs for $1200.00. No regrets at all.

Why do Americans allays mispronounce names. For instance... why pronounce Husqvarna as "Husk a varna"? you clearly had to type the word out for the vid title so were is the "a"? Not just this uploader though. So many more just make up word pronunciations. Why?

Here’s something sad I had a husky tractor for 10 yrs and never replaced a belt Can’t even get one for my z248f and it’s under warranty This machine doesn’t leave nice stripes like my tractor Cuts ok but not a good machine for the money if you buy new The engine is junk and if you have problems good luck Kawasaki screwed me like thousands of people Don’t waste your money on this machine Trust me
