Our verdict
John Deere Z330R (48-in)
The Z330R 48 is a polished residential Deere for homeowners who care about cut quality, comfort and dealer support. The 48-inch Accel Deep deck is large enough to cover ground without making the mower awkward around landscaping, and the 23 HP engine is well matched to it. Deere also includes a better seat, LED lights, a bumper and a hitch instead of treating them as upgrades. The main drawback is value. You pay a premium and the 200-hour warranty cap is not generous. For a property up to about two acres, though, it is one of the more complete residential packages in the Z300 range.
