Husqvarna z246 zero turn mower: Cons
What I didn’t like about the mower:
If you have a yard filled with trees and steep hills, this may not be the best zero turn mower for you.
Once you purchase and it’s delivered to your home make sure to observe it properly to ensure it isn’t broken. Some consumers have complained of receiving mowers that were already broken when delivered.
For the same price, it’s sold at you could purchase a mower with slightly more power. You can never have enough power, can you?
Buy or No Buy?
The biggest difference between the Husqvarna z246 vs z246i is the latter has a smart switch ignition technology. In all other aspects, they’re practically the same. All in all, this is a pretty good lawn mower for the price and I’d highly recommend it.
