I got one of these 2 weeks ago, mowed my 5.5 acre horse property that has no horses. it did great, the pastures had not been cut all summer, were 2 ft tall grass and weeds. Had to make two passes in the deep stuff but the whole place looks like a lawn now. Engine is very powerful, I have the Kawasaki.

I bought 20" tires for mine for the back helped alot but i had to adjust my deck again next time i think im going to get some 22 atv tires and also go up a size on the front also to keep it leval. I think there pretty good mower i should have got the mz model ensted of the z200 they have a little better hydraulics that would be my only concern other stuff aint too expencive to fix lol but mine so far so good its about 105 hours maybe now.

Good luck finding tires that grip better on wet grass. You said you mow when the grass is still damp and that's why those tires don't grip well on slopes. Let us know if you find tires that do grip well on wet grass.

According to the manual should change engine oil and filter after first 8 hours then after that every 100 hours.

@davidkellum1018 2 жыл бұрын

That hit me too when he said I have 108 hours on it and have not done any maintenance. I thought maybe he was being tongue and cheek when he said he that. It’s important to get the breaking oil out at or about the time given in the manual (8 hrs) because there will be metal fragments that can damage or excessive ware the engine in the oil in the first oil change. Just saying.

I suggest anyone who lives on any kind of incline and has this mower to invest in studded tractor or off-road ATV style tires. "Turf saver" tires are already prone to slipping and the hydros on this particular mower are not very good at easing on the power. These 2 things combined with any type of incline and you will do far more damage to your lawn from constant slipping with turf savers than you ever will running tires with an aggressive tread. Keep in mind though that there is very little clearance between the body and the stock tire so if you want to go any wider you'll need some kind of spacer.

@llkj2121 2 жыл бұрын

I'm currently researching mowers, looking at zero turn styles...Accordingly I've read from multiple sources that these types of mowers slip easily on sloping terrain, so it's just the physics of the mower and likely nothing to do with your tires.

@@andrewsbbq7876 been using for a month now. Probably have 4 cuts with it. I'd say the cut quality is about the same. But main reason I like it..... it seems like the wind would always blow 30mph when I cut the grass in the past, so It was super nice not coming out of the chute and blowing grass in my face!! It's a good buy for the price, and I plan on keeping it on the mower.

@davidkellum1018 2 жыл бұрын

I just bought a twin, Husqvarna with the Kawasaki engine, to the one being reviewed. The manual says you must use 91 octane fuel or higher. I like to use regular fuel with no ethanol but I only have access to 87 octane. Octane boosters seem to be too harsh and possibly cause engine damage. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

@Dogebreadzz 2 жыл бұрын

Well usually the manual says the recommended octane so it would probably be fine with 87. Here in Australia though our minimum octane is 91 and our mowers recommend 95 so it doesn’t really matter what you use.
