John Deere Z530R (60-in)
The Z530R is the top of John Deere's residential range, and the seat is what sets it apart. Its ComfortGlide suspension lets the whole seat glide fore and aft over bumps, which on undulating ground genuinely takes the jolt out of a long mow, and it comes with LED lights, a foldable ROPS and a seatbelt as standard. A 24 HP Kawasaki twin and a 9-gauge High Capacity deck handle a couple of acres with ease, backed by a four-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. It is not a commercial machine, so the transaxles are residential-grade. Sold at Lowe's and Deere dealers alike, it is easy to buy. For a larger home lawn where comfort and the green badge matter, it is the pick of the Deere homeowner line.
