Our verdict
Husqvarna Z246 46
The Z246 is one of the most bought entry zero-turns in North America, and it is easy to see why. It gives you Husqvarna's air induction deck design for a cleaner cut, a compact 46-inch width that slips through most gates, an electric PTO and a genuinely comfortable high-back seat, all at a price that undercuts most rivals and is available almost everywhere. What keeps it affordable is a stamped deck and sealed EZT transaxles, which get replaced rather than serviced, so treat it as a two-acre machine rather than an acreage one. For a first zero-turn on a tidy suburban lawn, it remains a sensible default.
