Research the market as I am sure you will find mowers better than this – The mower has shortened the time spent mowing but I am so frustrated with the amount of time repairing the drive components of the deck. Not sure what steel husqvana uses but components just keep breaking Bolster break,steel cracks and the deck belts self destruct from coming off all the time. The mower also has serious traction problems perhaps more aggressive tyre treads may fix this issue Would not buy another product from husqvana Show details

Skids like Im on a drifting speedway – Main issue is that the tyres have zero traction. Skids on wet or dry grass. The sales team offered no solutions; when tested (on concrete) they said there is no problem. Will need to purchase different tread. Regret the purchase. Show details

This the worst mower ever – Don't buy one they are no good . They don't cut even the drive belt comes of all the time . Everything keeps falling off and breaking the thing that holds the blade on . The dealer didn't do the pre delivery service at all. Deck falls apart I have been mowing my block for 30 years with a rover rancher and had no problems.  Show details

The best thing since slice bread – I have had a Yard Pro and I have had a John Dere but the Husqvarna is absolutely spectacular. My mowing is now done so much more faster and quite effortlessly too. It’s got great power to ratio in that I can almost climb over anything and there’s even a lever where I can go over an obstacle without stopping and changing the height. It’s… Read more

comfortable and easy to go in the direction you want but on a downhill, you have to take it real slow as there’s no brakes per se.

Because of Red Shed, the service Gary and his team gives makes maintaining the mower a dream and it’s because of Gary, we love our Husqvarna Zero Turn.

Can't cut regular length grass without throwing the tensioner spring – Less than 3 hours cutting on this piece of junk and it has thrown the deck spring FIVE TIMES. I've spent more time putting the spring and belt back on than actually cutting grass. It first threw a spring on grass about 30cm high and now throws it whenever the blades engage. Avoid this mower.  Show details

Mine is a DUD! – Purchased new, after a few months parts seem to fall off everywhere, springs, bolts, belt. Deck shakes like hell. Loud and noisy. Can hardly cut through two clumps of grass without stalling. I think they should have sold mine with a free trailer to pick the bits that fall off. Very Very disappointed. My acreage is flat, clear from debis  Show details

Danger, out of control – went to the dealer and said we had a steep block to mow. No worries, this will be perfect. What a fib. I can honestly see this mower killing me or my husband. Even now that the grass is dry it still skids down slopes and won't turn. It is fantastic on our flat parts, great around the garden, trees etc but as soon as there is a slope of any kind… Read more

it becomes a terrifying monster.

The dealer even delivered it and saw our land but said it would be ok, just put water in the tyres. We have not done this yet but have reduced the pressure in the rear tyres. If only there was a foot brake on this model to control the front wheels. If you try to go across a slope the front wheels just simply turn themselves down the hill and you start sliding.

I seriously would not recommend one unless you have perfectly flat ground. I want to swap it back for a tractor mower, at least then I will have control over it!
