Review Of The Top Zero-turn Commercial Mowers
1. Husqvarna MZ61
The Husqvarna MZ61 is the best commercial-grade gas-powered zero-turn mower. The MZ61 provides a comfortable ride with armrests that cushion vibrations. The MZ61 is also powerful due to its 24HP engine and hydrostatic transmission.
The MZ61 is a zero-turn radius mower that can achieve a precise cut despite its large cutting deck measuring 155 cm. The MZ61, although it is more expensive, is equipped with ROPS (rollover protective system), which will protect you on uneven terrain.
You can adjust the large, fabricated cutting deck from your chair. The clippings can be bagged, mulched or discharged.
What We Like
- Large cutting deck
- ROPS
- Kawasaki 24-HP engine
- A comfortable seat
- Bag, discharge, or mulch your clippings
- Easy deck lift system adjustment
- Simple and reliable startup
- Vibration dampeners
2. Husqvarna Z254F
Although the Husqvarna Z254F includes armrests and lights, you will need to install them yourself. It was easy to assemble and our team were impressed by the power of the 26 HP Kohler 747cc V-Twin engine.
The 137 cm 3-blade fabricated stainless steel deck is one of our favorite features. This option is smaller than our top choice and can be used in tighter spaces.
The zero turn mower features an electric clutch engagement for quick startup and a zero-turn radius to ensure superior cuts. This makes it one of the most popular zero-turn commercial mowers.
What We Like
- 26-HP Kohler 747cc 7000 series V-Twin engine
- 3-blade FAB steel 137 cm deck
- Zero-turn mower
- Electric clutch engagement
- Headlights and armrests available
3. Ariens Edge
The Ariens Edge Zero-turn Mower 132cm is the right choice for those with smaller commercial properties and a limited budget. The machine’s deck is made of 11-gauge steel with a Kawasaki FR651 726cc Kawasaki engine.
Instead of using levers, the deck lift can be operated by your feet. This gives you more control. It features a high back and springs, as well as ball bearings to absorb vibrations.
The Ariens Edge zero-turn mower allows for tight turns and cleaner cuts. This brand makes powerful zero-turn mowers, but also top-of-the-line riding lawn mowers with bagger.
4. Ariens IKON XD-52 (132 Cm) 24HP Kohler Zero Turn Lawn Mower
Our last commercial-grade mower is the Ariens IKON XD-52. This mower is powered by a 24HP Kohler engine and features the hydrostatic EZT transmission.
The comfortable cushioned seat with armrests will make every turn and bump less painful. Large tires will make the ride more comfortable on uneven terrain.
It is simple to set up and use, and it is also easy to learn. It takes very little time to go from unboxing to mowing.
These are the most reliable zero-turn mowers for 1-acre properties.
Commercial Zero Turn Mower Buyers Guide
Engine Power And Speed
Your mower will run at a faster speed if it has a more powerful engine. Our team recommends a minimum of 24 HP for commercial purposes. This is the same horsepower found in most rear-engine riding mowers. Kawasaki, Briggs & Stratton and Kohler all offer reliable motors.
Construct
You want your machine to stand up against rocks, terrain, grass and other obstacles. For commercial-grade mowers, our team suggests looking for steel decks or steel frames.
Safety And Comfort
The machine will stay steady with safety features like an emergency stop and a rollover protection. Our team recommends a cushioned high back chair with armrests for maximum comfort.
Warranty
For machines that require significant investments, our experts recommend at least a one-year warranty.
