Great Mower At A Great Price From Mowers Direct!
By David E. 
Texas
Purchased 11/02/2020 | 
Review Posted 01/07/2021 
I was considering purchasing a 42" ZT mower locally due to a $100 discount promotion. I got the Z246, a bigger mower (46" cut) for the same price delivered! Additionally, the savings in local taxes & credit card rewards more than made up for the big box store $100 discount! Get one, you'll love it!

It Was A Father's Day Gift For My Dad & He Was So Excited

My dad will not stop cutting the grass. Since he received his new mower, he cuts grass at least every other day.

I got my new zero turn mower & it makes me so happy. The mower cuts my mowing time in half, so now I have more time to play ball with my grandson.

So Far So Good

So far so good. If it stands the test of time I would rate it higher. Cut my mowing time in half over my riding tractor style mower.

Race Car Fast!
By Frank M.

Purchased 04/23/2019 | 
Review Posted 05/16/2019 
I bought this mower for my dad because his mower was on life support and at 85 years old I figured he could get on this mower easier.
Well after a learning curve (and it does take a while to get used to steering a zero turn after using a conventional mower)... so I borrowed it and wow... what used to take an hour to do, now was down to 25 minutes... even at low speed this mower is quick!

Love This Mower
By Billy G. 
Eldorado, Texas
Purchased 10/16/2018 | 
Review Posted 11/28/2018 
Had to have help getting the lawnmower out of the crate. Seems others have had the same problem. We live on a farm and the person doing the mowing is a 72-year-old woman and the other person is 94!! I read all the directions that were provided. Had man put it all together. Everything worked. However, there were no written directions for actually operating the machine. Our helper was gone and I didn't know more directions were under the seat. I almost let the machine run away with me, but once I understood the settings, etc. it was so easy. Wonderful even!! In a matter of minutes, I got what would have taken me 2 days to finish with the push mower. Yes, I would recommend this mower to anyone who has a big yard or acreage. Also, customer service was amazing. They helped solve several issues, and it is much appreciated.

It Was Exactly What I Expected It To Be. A Fine Machine Although
By Thomas D. 
West Nyack, New York
Purchased 11/04/2018 | 
Review Posted 11/27/2018 
I was truly surprised to again have to jump it to start it four days later to cut my grass! I called the customer service line and the said I should take it to my local dealer or them to check it out. All I need now is a trailer to load it in to bring it to them! Hopefully, it will not be an every time occurrence to start the mower. It did start right up though, a little smoke at first then everything went as expected.
