Is the Z248F good for a large lawn?

Yes. The 48-inch fabricated deck and 23 hp engine handle an acre or more at speed. For very large or commercial acreage, a wider commercial deck is a better fit.

How does it compare with a stamped-deck zero-turn?

The welded 10-gauge ClearCut deck and cast iron blade housings are more durable than stamped decks. That makes it a step up for buyers who mow often.

Does it need regular transmission maintenance?

No. The integrated zero-turn transmissions are sealed and maintenance-free, so there is no hydraulic fluid or filter service.

How do I change the cutting height?

Use the spring-assisted deck lift lever next to the operator. It is designed for adjustment while seated.

What is included with the mower?

It ships as a riding mower with the Kawasaki engine, fabricated deck, LED headlight and front bumper guard. Check the listing for any bagger or hitch accessories.

It uses lever steering rather than a wheel, so expect a short learning period. Once used to it, owners find it precise and quick.

About the Husqvarna Z248F Special Edition Zero-Turn Mower

The Husqvarna Z248F is a residential zero-turn lawn mower powered by a 23 HP Kawasaki FR Series gas engine. Individual hydraulic wheel drives let it turn precisely and rotate around its own axis. The transmissions are integrated, hydrostatic and maintenance free.

The 48-inch ClearCut cutting deck is fabricated from welded 10-gauge steel with welded reinforcement strips. The blade housings are cast iron with sealed ball bearings. A spring-assisted deck lift lets the operator change cutting height while mowing. The tube-style chassis has a removable foot pan for access to the top of the deck for cleaning and maintenance.

The park brake engages and releases automatically as the steering levers are moved inward or outward. A front bumper with a centrally located LED headlight kit protects the nose of the mower and improves visibility in the dark. A rear guard protects the engine and limits access to hot surfaces. The footrest has non-slip surfaces, and the padded seat has an open back for ventilation. Rubber bellows on the control levers keep debris and moisture out of the control system.
