Mows my 5 acres in record time

The 60-inch deck is a beast. I went from spending 4 hours on my old tractor to under 2 hours with the ZT1 60. The Kohler engine is smooth and the fabricated deck cuts clean even at full speed.

Worth every penny for large lawns

We have just over 4 acres and this mower handles it like a pro. The high-back seat is comfortable and the lap-bar steering became natural after one use. Assembly was straightforward.

Great power, large turning radius expected

The 60-inch deck means you need a little more room to turn, but that's no surprise. The cut quality is excellent and the Kohler starts reliably every time.

Commercial-quality cut at a residential price

I compared this to mowers costing twice as much. The ZT1 60 gives me the same clean stripe and power I need for my property. The 3-year warranty sealed the deal.

Best zero-turn I've owned

Traded up from a 54-inch model and the extra deck width is noticeable on my 6-acre lot. Fuel tank lasts the whole job and the fabricated deck feels bulletproof.

Powerful and comfortable

My husband loves the power and I appreciate how easy it is to operate. The only reason for 4 stars is we wish it had armrests, but otherwise it's perfect for our large yard.
