Ideal zero turn!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower does as expected! Smooth operation and easy handles. Feels very capable and powerful. I love the LED headlight feature as it helps me during my late evening mows after my long days at work. I have never had a zero turn before but I learned really quick on this one. I added a deck wash kit that made cleaning after every now that much easier.

Bagger iffy and likes to scalp the lawn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish the bagger was better constructed per every review the too deep to unclog and top doesn't seal good so clippings blow out. The biggest problem is the scalping it needs center rollers unless your lawn is flat as Lambeau field I wouldn't buy. Also it sucks gas surprisingly fast. Once winter is over I'll attach photos and videos.

My wife loves this mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the mower earlier this year because I was tired of fixing the old mower which also had a 46” mowing deck, but after we received this ZT1 46 and put it together, I have not mowed our 2.5 acres since. The only time I rode this mower was to check it out initially and now my wife says it’s her mower.

ZT1 46 Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower was delivered quickly, fully assembled, and full of gas. Seems very well built and assembled well. Motor is powerful and starts very easy. Haven't performed preventative maintenance yet, but the oil filter is easy to access and the oil drain line is very convenient.

Uncomfortable
I've waited three year's to make this post. This is the most uncomfortable ride ever. There are no shocks on the seat except for to plastic pieces that they say won't wear out but there useless so who cares. If you have a larger yard you will be sore after from all the bouncing around. I do not recommend this machine.

First thoughts after a couple of mowings
Over all a great mower. Clean cut, easy to operate and comfortable. Reason for deducting one star is rear tire size. They are too small and the mower will slide some on gradual slopes and damp grass...that is my only complaint. Cut my mowing time in half over a Craftsman 42" rider.

Not happy
I didn’t actually get this. I ordered it and then you said there was no inventory. So I was not happy considering I had waited months for you to tell me there hasn’t been any new inventory. I ended up buying a different brand.

Big Yellow made easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ballon front tires make a better ride. Continues to mow in reverse without shutting down the blades. Blade adjustment is really easy. Fuel tank is in a good location

Great buy, just practice a bit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mower. Works well. Mows great. Does have a bit of a learning curve for steering, seems a bit different than other zero turns.

Had a deck mounting bolt come off the front of the deck last week and I had to replace myself in order for the mower to function properly again.
