Our take on the Husqvarna Z246 (46") Zero Turn Lawn Mower

The Husqvarna Z246 is a residential zero-turn mower built around a 21.5 HP, 726cc Kawasaki V-twin and a 46-inch stamped two-blade deck. Hydro-Gear EZT transmissions give it zero-turn steering and a 6.5 mph top speed, and the 3.5-gallon tank covers roughly two to three acres per fill. It suits homeowners with an acre or so of mostly open lawn who want faster mowing than a lawn tractor. Against entry zero-turns from Toro, Cub Cadet and John Deere, the Kawasaki engine is a strong point, but the stamped deck and light-duty EZT drives are the budget end of the class.

Best forHomeowners with roughly half an acre to two acresMostly open lawns with few obstaclesBuyers who want a name-brand engine in an entry zero-turnMowing around beds, trees and fences quickly
Pros
  • Kawasaki 726cc V-twin is proven and torquey
  • 46-inch deck fits through most gates and around obstacles
  • Zero-turn steering cuts mowing time on open lawns
  • 3.5-gallon tank means fewer fuel stops
  • Three-year consumer warranty

Questions and answers

Is the Z246 good for a one-acre lawn?
Yes. A 46-inch deck and 6.5 mph top speed handle an acre quickly, and the 3.5-gallon tank lasts several mowings.
How does it compare with a lawn tractor?
It steers with two levers and turns on the spot, so it is faster around obstacles. A lawn tractor is cheaper and easier to learn but slower.
What engine does it have?
A 21.5 HP, 726cc Kawasaki V-twin, the same engine family used on several residential zero-turns.
Can it handle hills?
It manages gentle slopes, but the EZT transmissions are entry-level and not built for sustained steep grades.
What comes in the box?
The mower, engine and deck assembled as shipped; a mulch kit and hitch are sold separately.
Is the deck stamped or fabricated?
Stamped steel, two blades. Fabricated decks on higher-tier models resist dents better.
