Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent, meets marketing hype [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit, a zero turn with a steering wheel seemed silly. What's the point? Well, on the recommendation of my local dealer I decided to give this unit a go. The Kohler engine that I'm familiar with, the bigger rear tires, and the 2800 wheel motors helped with my decision vs a smaller model. The first time I used it I was tickled and for the first time ever, I'm eagerly waiting to mow the next time. This unit meets the marketing hype with it's performance on hills, holds the ground very well without slipping or sliding out in the rear, has a very smooth cut, plenty of power to go up hills while cutting without losing speed, and mows around trees like a zero turn should, all the while going up or down the hill. My tractor would fuss and push out in front doing this. All in all the performance of this unit has cut my mowing time by a third and I anticipate it getting even better as I learn the machine and get more comfortable with it. If I had a complaint it would be the seat doesn't adjust to the rear far enough. I'm 5'11 and short legged, the seat all the way to the rear is almost still too short. Something for long legged or tall people to check out on the lot before purchase. Be sure you fit the machine. An observation. Due to the nature of the synchrosteer system, one cannot turn this machine around within it's own foot print. This is because you cannot reverse the inside wheel like you can with lap bars so one wheel turns backward while the other goes forward. The best you can do is stop the inside wheel while the outside wheel turns forward which is good for a nice tight turn and gives a true zero degree turn. Just a heads up for those who may need the ability to turn the machine inside it's own space. I really enjoy this machine and will recommend it to anyone with similar needs to my own. If my property was sans hills I would have gone with lap bars but this machine accels on hills just like it's supposed to and is highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A mowin' in the 802 [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Performs as stated. Way better than lapsers. Handles hills with easy. Mower deck raises high enough above the rocky turf of Vermont.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A real powerhouse. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new ZTS2. This beast has so much power. Nice to have grass shooting over three lines away, and getting my yard mowed in no time. Very comfortable seat too with arm rest. The cut is very even and finished lawn looks great. So glad I made this purchase.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Leaves a strip on left side about 10 inches in mower leaves a strip on the left side about 10 inches in. Took to place I bought it, Lockhard in Sutton WV . Service was awful after having it there for over a week they never even looked at it. Have put on new blades, checked deck, checked spindles and there pressure and deck level still leaving a strip.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Night/day difference on hills from my old 46” Husqvarna ZT. Very comfortable and easy to operate as well. I can make true zero turns without tearing up my grass as well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great on hills [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great when trying to turn on a hill. Does not slide like a lap bar zero-turn. But it is different. Still getting used to it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great residential mower. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower is great. Handles inclines better than my tractor did.
Date published: 2024-07-13
Rated 4 out of 5 by from An exceptional mower, BUT... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower is an absolute billy goat! I have two acres of grass with two very significant (20%) hills. I believe there is a seven or eight-foot section that may actually be more than 20%, but the hillside itself is between 18% and 20% throughout. I borrowed a neighbor's brand new Ultima ZT over two weekends, and both times, it broke loose while traversing the hill. Imagine how stressful it is to be on a runaway mower. Now imagine that mower doesn't even belong to you... So I sprung for the ZTS2, and it sticks like glue to the hills. I've found the limits of my comfort level and still haven't found the limits of the machine. BUT. The 'the driver fell out of the seat' shutoff sensor is so unbelievably sensitive that the bump from the driveway to the grass (flat and level) is enough to disengage the blades. If you've got ears on (and you should - this thing is LOUD), then you can't hear the blades disengage and you won't notice until you've made a few passes without cutting anything. It's too sensitive, and I'm forced to re-start the blades at least a dozen times every session. If you can live with that - and I don't like it, but I can - then this is the best residential mower ever invented. Buy it. Stay safe, get a perfect cut.
