Well after four seasons of working with my Husqvarna W4815ETS walk behind mower I decided it was time to upgrade was your turn as I am hitting the high 30's as far as the number of accounts I have goes which are mostly all residential at the moment between half an acre and 2 acres. I have spent the last 5 to 6 months every night after work researching every single zero turn mower available and have felt that I have decided on the perfect mower many times. Basically what I wanted was an entry-level commercial zero turn that had plenty of power, 52 inch deck, was reliable durable and placed well. The most I was willing to spend was may be a 500 at the absolute most. I went from Scagg to X Mark to deer to hustler and then finally Husqvarna call My eye. Originally it started as going to a local dealership that mostly dealt with Skagg and tomorrow and also sold Husqvarna. The best molar in my price range in the Scagg was a tiger cub with the Kawasaki 22 horse 52 inch velocity deck. As soon as I sat on the tiger cat, the first thing that went through my mind is how in the world are they asking $8500 for the this mower ? The mower had some the smallest hydros in its class had a very cramped seating area for the operator considering I am almost 6 feet tall was only 22 horse and it honestly did not seem very durable to me compared to other mowers like deer and ExMark that I had demoed in the past. Don't get me wrong the Scagg had a great cup when I demoed it but after using it on a couple of lawns, I already noticed the Powdercoat wearing off on the deck and In parts of the frame amongst other things such as the right Hydro having to be adjusted for tracking every 30 minutes or so of use. I return the mower and when I walked back I noticed the it absolutely amazed me that for the same price of the scag cheetah or lazer z, I could get a mower that was of equal, if not better quality had more horsepower much better deck design much more legroom and the much comfortable seat. Husqvarna commerical mowers really opened my eyes up to another option, although there were very few reviews on the forums I decided I was going Husqvarna due to do the recommendations along with my own observations on the mower. At first I was going to purchase a PZT 54 which my dealer was going to sell me for about $1000 under MSRP which seem to be a good deal, but there are just some bells and whistles that I just did not need so he suggested The MZ-T series. Although Husqvarna markets the MZT as an entry-level commercial mower which I feel is far from what this machine is truly capable of. I ended up going with the MZT 52 with the 28 horse briggs due to a few major points first everything on the engine is extremely easy to access the motor can be entirely removed in under a half hour if necessary along with the Hydro pumps the mower has a very modular design. Also the mower is very well balanced and lightweight, Weighing in at only 840lbs! The motor is very compact also not too small. Another point I really liked was the price. For what I paid for this leftover 2013 model with the dealers discount on the last 2013, I could have bought two MZT – 52 Husqvarna's for the same price as a Scagg cheetah or exmark lazer z and with similar specifications! I have had two of my buddies who have been the landscaping business both for over eight years and both did not believe the quality of the mower when I spoke to them about it before taking delivery last week ......when they saw it and took it for a test spin their jaws dropped, They both thought the machine was amazing! One actually preferred it to his X Mark lazer z xp! And my other buddy could not believe what I paid for this machine it is very heavy duty and is definitely not A homeowner model I believe this Mower's going to last me for MANY for years to come! Even though I have put very few hours on it only doing some fall cleanup work and mulching jobs I do believe I got the best bang for my buck and a very reliable machine! I really wish more of you guys would take a look into Husqvarna's line before considering other more expensive options. You will realize you are getting close to, if not the exact same thing, and in some instances even a better mower for a lot less money. I will continue my review as time goes on and give you more information as to how I feel about the machine as I use it more. Thanks for reading my post guys!
