Our verdict
Husqvarna Z248F 48
The Z248F is Husqvarna's answer for a mid-size suburban lot, and it punches a little above its price. The real highlight is the deck, a fabricated welded ClearCut unit rather than the stamped decks common at this money, paired with a well-regarded Kawasaki engine. An automatic park brake and a spring-suspension seat are nice touches, and you can buy it almost anywhere, from Lowe's to Amazon. The trade is the entry-level ZT-2200 transmission, which you replace rather than service, and a slow 6.5 mph top speed. For two or three acres where cut quality matters and the budget is real, it is an easy pick.
