Our verdict
Kubota Z251
The Z251 is the safety-and-support pick of this group. The 4-year warranty leads the class, ROPS comes standard rather than as an afterthought, and the Kohler-engined version adds a full suspension seat and lights out of the box. You pay a premium for the badge and the dealer network, and parts cost more than the aftermarket. But if you want a mower you can lean on for years with a dealer nearby, it earns its keep.
