King of the Hills
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower has exceeded my expectations. I have multiple 18-20 degree hills on my 3 acre property and this mower handles them all with ease. The Synchro-Steer is awesome on hills, plus I can parallel park the mower in my garage so much easier than my old 48" deck Husqvarna lawn tractor. The Z3 S 54 is 6” wider but so much easier to store than the Husky. If you have hills Synchro-Steer is what you want!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality control at the assembly plant needs to in prove. Received my mower and the hour meter didn't work. Took it back to local dealer. Jumper wire on a plug not in the correct spot and one wire not all the way in on plug at the hour meter. Everything else has worked great. Have never had a zero turn until now and I love it.

Awesome Mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is sweet, bought it to replace garden tractor which wasn’t great for hills and I have one that was always a bit scary. The handling and zero turn function work great together and you still have a hand free to drink from a water bottle while driving. I am totally happy with this purchase.
