DIY homeowners who can’t wait for lawn mowing season to begin have another reason to be excited as spring approaches – the launch of the new Z200 series of residential, zero-turn riding mowers from Husqvarna, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power equipment.
The Z200 models – Z242F, Z248F, Z246, Z246i, Z254 and Z254i – add depth to Husqvarna’s already-extensive line of lawn & garden equipment, thanks to improved ergonomics, functionality, refinement, deck options and other features that improve and simplify the mowing experience.
A key addition to select models of the Z200 zero-turn mowers is SmartSwitch™ technology, an innovative operator interface offering one-touch starting, real-time feedback and keyless security.
