Our verdict
Troy-Bilt Mustang Z50
The Mustang Z50 is Troy-Bilt's mainstream zero-turn, and it covers the basics for a mid-size lawn without much fuss. A 23 HP Kohler twin has enough power for the 50-inch deck, dual hydrostatic transmissions give proper zero-turn handling, and a fully welded tubular frame with a limited lifetime warranty is more than you expect at this price. A high-back seat and deck wash port make ownership easy. What you are buying is a stamped steel deck and sealed EZT transaxles, so it is a homeowner machine rather than an acreage workhorse. Sold at Home Depot and Lowe's, it is easy to buy, and for a flat suburban lot it does the job for the money.
