Our take on the Craftsman Z3200 42-in Gas Zero-turn Lawn

The Craftsman Z3200 is a 42-inch gas zero-turn mower with dual hydrostatic drives and lap-bar steering. It is aimed at homeowners with roughly an acre or more of lawn who want to cut around trees and beds quickly instead of backing up a lawn tractor. The 42-inch deck is the smallest in the zero-turn class, so it fits through most gates and between obstacles, but it cuts less per pass than 48- and 54-inch rivals. Owners like the tight turning and the price against premium zero-turn brands; the common complaints are a firm ride and a learning curve on the lap bars.

Questions and answers

Is the Z3200 good for a first zero-turn mower?
Yes, if you have the patience to learn lap-bar steering. It is simple and affordable, but practice in an open area before mowing near beds or fences.
How big a lawn does a 42-inch deck suit?
It works best on roughly one to two acres with obstacles. On larger open lawns, a wider deck will finish faster.
Does it handle hills?
Hydrostatic zero-turns grip well on gentle slopes. On steep or wet hills, traction and control drop, so mow across the slope carefully or use a different machine.
What maintenance does it need?
Routine oil and filter changes, blade sharpening, belt checks and keeping the hydrostatic drives clean. Follow the engine and deck service intervals in the manual.
How does it compare with a lawn tractor?
It turns far tighter and mows around obstacles faster. A lawn tractor is cheaper, easier to learn and better for towing and steep slopes.
Where is the Craftsman Z3200 42-in Gas Zero-turn Lawn cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $2,899.00, as of our latest check.
